That is one hell off an opener. Would be even without the “semi-nude fairies.” Has me interested most definitely.

Right know I am reading (actually reading once more after many years) Black Rain by Ibuse Masuji. Also Mary Poppins. I had never read this though I recall the movie from my childhood. The book is better, or so it seems to me. Speaking of which shouldn't this be out of copyright sometime soon? The book I mean, not the movie.
