There is an old Irish saying that goes something like this:
“A cabin with plenty of food, is better than a hungry castle.”
Well, ain’t that the truth. Unless of course, you are dieting, in which case the castle might be better for you. OR if you are looking for a place to put your moat. Because moats just look plain silly around cabins, whether they are filled with food or not. Another possibility is that you are a Rapunzel-type person, and require some sort of tower for your long golden locks of hair. Again, the cabin might not work out so well, unless you climbed up the chimney. However, if the said cabin is filled with food, my guess is someone would be cooking, and the fireplace would then become another bad idea. Clearly, we have much more to consider here.
There are an awful lot of “What If’s” in life….
I saw this hungry castle tonight while I was out shooting. Wouldn’t you know… it was right near a big fatty cabin.

A movie that you might enjoy is called “Howl’s Moving Castle”. Its by a director of Japanese anime (which I dont usually like) and I really enjoy all of the movies of his that I have seen so far. I bet you would really enjoy “Ponyo” even more…yes, get Ponyo.
I’ve seen Howl’s Moving Castle. It has been a while ago though…. like almost 6 years ago… when I wasn’t paying very close attention to things. I will have to give it another view. I’ll check out Ponyo too.
