London has some of the most expensive public transport in the world, lol it's crippling me XP Mama owns the car and she's teaching me how to drive it :3

You can say 'rather than', 'bigger than' etc. In this context, 'than' is used as a comparative word.

'Then' is usually indicative of time. Eg 'I will call my dealer, then buy some potato chips' or 'He rolled a joint, then she took a hit'. It can also kind of mean 'in that case' eg. 'If you don't like winter, then why do you like Christmas?' or 'Hurry up, then!'

Than is used in comparative statments:

My dog is cuter than yours.

Then is used as a time marker or in a sequence of events:

I finished my sandwhich, then I had desert.

Heheh. God damn I hated Princess Monoke. :) Howl's Moving Castle was awesome. I even say that being someone who was a fan of the book before watching the movie. Japanese people are some wily bastards. :eyesmoke:

Don't hate on the wolves, Mononoke Hime was a masterpiece. Howl's movie castle was fun, but not one I would watch over and over again. Mononoke gave me chills, and there were so many subtle, poignant moments that made it special and unforgettable for me. There wasn't any objectification of San, either, and she is one of the best female lead I've seen in any movie. Lol, even Nausicaa had panty flashes. Wait... was she even wearing panties?? I'm convinced both Nausicaa and Mononoke were a great influence on Avatar. They both follow the same lines of Pocahontas (as with Dances with Wolves, Fern Gully etc) but specifics and feel reminded me hugely of Miyazaki's work. Didn't stop me enjoying the CG though.

Anyway I was talking about Totoro- one of the greatest family movies ever made in my opinion. I'm going to work out the note for 'Path of the Wind' when I finish my coursework.

So glad you like ^^ It was the first 'proper' piece of music I decided to teach myself after a week or so of messing around with the keys. The school talent show was a month away so I though 'What can I do?' Then I thought 'I shall learn piano!!'

I give Nobuo Uematsu sole credit for making me a musician.

Do check out other pieces from the Final Fantasy video game series. If you liked this, you should check out minimalist composers like Michael Nyman, Philip Glass and Ludovico Einaudi too <3

Of course you'd love it. :rolleyes: Bet it really spoke to you and your depersonalization didn't it. :lol:
