Whimsical (Day 4065 - 1/10/21)

Previous Vlog (Day 4064) | Next Vlog (Day 4066)

Stephen and Mallory start the day off by eating cinnamon rolls on their living room couch. Later, Stephen follows up on yesterday's vlog where he finishes wiping his old laptop and installs Big Sur without issue. He also begins to setup StepMania to work with the Cobalt Flux dance pad. After the setup is complete, Mal and Stephen played StepMania. Stephen notes that the experience of playing StepMania on the laptop compared to Dance Dance Revolution on the PS2 is a big improvement due to some sync issues.

For dinner, Stephen and Mal enjoy some pizza and they start watching Spirited Away. Mal notes that she saw the film back in 2003, while Stephen has only seen The Secret World of Arrietty.

After watching the film, Stephen and Mal give a review of it, noting that it has beautiful animation and how it holds the viewer's attention. Stephen states that the film has quite a few adult themes, while Mal goes on to say that everything is tied together quite well. Stephen also goes on to say that the film is well paced toward the beginning of the movie but drags a bit toward the end.

Stephen and Mal also say that they would like to watch more Studio Ghibli films in the future.
