Thank you for posting that puzzle. I really enjoyed doing it. It's been a while since I gave myself permission to just take the time and work on a puzzle until I solved it. I don't know why - I love puzzles, and by all accounts they're good for you to boot, and I try to bring as many simple pleasures into my life as possible. So thank you for reintroducing puzzles back into my life! Now I'm really looking forward to checking out the ones Biscotti posted as well.

OMG yes.

Movie
Anchors Aweigh (friends)

It's been a while since someone added to this thread, but I want to recommend a movie I enjoyed watching a few weeks ago.

The movie is called When Marnie Was There. Based on a novel written in 1967, this anime movie is about a girl named Anna who is a foster child and struggles with the fact that she's adopted. One day, she suffers an asthma attack and is sent to live in the country side with her foster mother's relatives. During her time there, she meets and befriends a girl named Marnie, who's more than what she seems.

It's a ghost story/drama/mystery about friendship and family with absolutely NO romance. (Even though some reviewers wanted Anna and Marnie's relationship to be beyond platonic, which bothers me because it's like they despise friendships or something.) Anyway, it was something I wanted to mention.
