7 year anniversary

Atlantis: The Lost Empire came out on June 15th, 2001 and is quickly becoming my favorite movie (because of the language).
Its study is my gateway into all world languages, as if it contained the secret of easily gaining them all.
It seems to work its way into my life, too.
Last summer I was on an arch dig in New York State's Hudson Valley, living a town over from Milo's fictional hometown of Fishkill (where I went for Indian food). I was working with Steampunk machinery and ruins.
This summer I'm in California, home of Marc Okrand (language creator)'s languages of study, the Penutian family, and also the state of origin of the movie and the inspiration for concepts like "lava whales". Now I'm literally exploring lava caves with bizaare, glow-in-the-dark ecosystems and strange Native American languages and peoples.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a study in cultures which blurs the line between living and dead societies, fantasy and fact. Its enduring message is to do the right thing and follow your dreams and it hints at realities greater than itself. It also shows that things work out in the end and you don't have to plan out everything. Some things are being worked on by others.
