I Got a New Car!!

...well new to me anyway lol.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately! I've been really sick for a week and swamped with school and trying to find a new vehicle.  But...thankfully I finally found and bought a great car a couple days ago! 
I officially apologize for the crappy dumbphone pics but it's the only camera I have right now :P

Check out that bada** hood scoop y'all!

Pioneer Stereo System!

For those of you who don't know, my Neon died about a month ago (transmission issues again), so I've been desperately looking for something else.  I bought Pikachu (that's it's name cuz it's bright yellow lol) brand new and paid it off myself, so I've had a really hard time admitting that it's time to stop putting money into it and look for a different ride.  It's hard to say goodbye.
But I finally found this great 2001 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport at Towpath Motors and fell in love all over again!  The guys there were super helpful and friendly, I would totally buy another vehicle from them. 
I've only had the Subaru for a couple days but I love it!  It runs like a champ, is super peppy, turns on a dime, and has all-wheel drive which will be perfect for our crappy Ohio winters,.  The after-market stereo is awesome, and the car just looks really unique and cool.  So far, I'm very happy with my purchase and I hope it lasts me a long time!

Now I just need to find a name for it...Any suggestions?

If I had this puppy in my desk at work, I'd get nothing done.  However, if I had this puppy in my desk at work, I would know I was working at the GREATEST job ever!

『コクリコ坂から』予告編 "From Up on Poppy Hill" by Studio Ghibli

Kokuriko-Zaka Kara, or From Up on Poppy Hill (in English), is a new Studio Ghibli film that just released this year!  This film follows two teenagers struggling to rebuild and find meaning in post-war Yokohama. The trailer suggests a mysterious connection between the two.

As always, the animation looks wistful and vibrant.  You MUST hear the beautifully dreamy themesong in this trailer!  It's so melancholy and lovely.

Click over to Tokyo Kawaii Etc for another trailer and an explanation of the plot.  There, you can also read a great discussion of the impact and meaning behind Studio Ghibli films and even see an interview with Hayao Miyazaki himself, where he explains what it is like working with his son (who directed this new movie)!

As a huge fan of Studio Ghibli, I can't wait to experience this new film!  Have you seen it yet?  Any thoughts?
