Hotaru no Haka

My family just watched Grave of the Fireflies, and I haven't seen Emi cry so hard since we told her we were going to move out of her first house. Wow. I usually cry at movies, but I barely shed a tear watching this one. I think I must have missed something, because everyone I know who's seen it has come out ex-sobbing.

Also, my sister's boyfriend is a waiter at a country club, and yesterday he waited on a foreign looking lady whose credit card read, I kid you not, "Sea O. Pirates."

That has to be the best name I have ever heard. Apparently she didn't even look like the type to find a clever way to fake a name. It's probably pronounced "say Oh pee-RAH-tees" anyway. But that doesn't stop it from being awesome.
