Atelier Log So, the Fan Festival for Final Fantasy XIV just started. My husband and I couldn’t go (due to money reasons and the fact that I’m terrified of travel by plane), but at least I can see some of it via the official livestreams. In fact, the keynote just concluded a little while ago and I am very excited!
They detailed some things coming up in the new expansion and the patches right before, and as always it got me hyped up for the expansion. Too bad it’s not coming out until summer 2019… But maybe it’ll be a birthday present??? The past two have come out around my birthday o(^▽^)o
I’ve been trying to keep up with The Conners on ABC. So far I’ve been quite happy with how they turned things around following the controversy with Roseanne. In fact they pretty much picked up the story where it got left off in the cancellation, and I think it’s a really clever and good way to do things. The show still has all the original heart it always did, so I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
Recently I finished reading the manga Fairy Tail, and since the final season of the anime started in October I’ve been watching that as well. Ideally I’d like to watch the entire anime, but having a 200+ episode backlog is not very appealing… so since I already read the manga I figure it’s fine to pick it up from here. Fairy Tail has become one of my favorite manga, which is interesting because I’m not usually into shounen. But I love the way Hiro Mashima focuses on character-driven storytelling, something I adore in any media. Of course I’m now reading the sequel as well!
Finally, I’m super excited for the winter holidays ＼（＾▽＾）／ My husband’s birthday is on December 8th, and I have a gift planned for him, but I want at least one other thing to get him hopefully… we’ll see.
My current Christmas wishlist is a bit lacking and eclectic. Right now it’s just a keychain, a book, and a hard drive, lol. I really need a new hard drive…
