Journal Name Submission: "Valhalla or Bust"

As for learning Spanish, maybe it will make you sound mysterious and exotic like Cortez (who as we all know was shakin' it for the ladies long before old movies and fighting for the Balance became his day job).

You can attend Hollywood parties and give out cards that introduce you as "Ragnar Tornquist: Author, Adventurer & Mack Daddy Extraordinaire" and say witty things like: "I am an explorer, Mademoiselle. Should I get a permit to explore your mammaries, I assure you that I am very thorough and no breast shall go unconquered." and your newly-acquired Spanish accent will magically appeal to any woman you say such things to.

Mack Daddy Extraordinaire. I like that.

Several helpful readers pointed me in the right direction for ordering the Japanese DVD version of Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, or Spirited Away. From Shiniing:

I've read your voyage to mars....Japanese DVD? You can buy the DVD here http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/dvd/B00005S8LI/249-44236
16-9025906 (international shipment supported. See "help in English" for details) With English and French subtitles.

Region Code of this DVD is 2, so I don't think it would be a problem wat ching it in Norway. But the format is NTSC, not PAL. I'm not very sure on this, but I guess you have to use a DVD player which supports both NTSC and PAL. I heared that PC DVD play er usually supports both, since the device is usually sold worldwide. Ah, there mus t be an expert on DVD in Funcom. Hehe.

"Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakusi"...it was mega-hit in Japanese movie histo ry and I went to see it with my wife in Tokyo Mitaka which was 6 hours waiting in a queue.... BTW the title means "Sen and Chihiro" (probably names) are lost in somew here by supernatural power, never to be found again. Kami-Kakusi literally means "A god hides somebo dy", the term is usually used when a person suddenly disappears from people's eyes.

And from Adrian:

thought this might be helpful....if you're still looking for it that is. http://www.animenation.com/vwdz-8036-7.html
it's a link to Spirited Away. Hope that was helpful.

Thanks for the pointers, guys! I'm ordering the DVD as we speak, and I can't wait to see it. Mononoke Hime, Miyazaki's last movie, is one of my all time favourites. It's beautiful, gripping, and powerful. Definitely recommended.  13:51
