Anime Update: I’ve finally started watching Last Exile. This is older animation now but the story is addictive. I’m not as invested in these characters as I was with Clannad After Story but I’ve only watched 4/5 episodes. I do like Lavie and Tatiana Wisla is a first-class bad ass.

September and October are shaping up to be heavy travel months SO I’m going to use my time-in-transit to read Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities by Stanley Kurtz. I’m also going to start Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Did you know Kingdom Hearts is celebrating its 10th Anniversary?
