After RH disc 2 went back, I got Ghost In the Shell: The Music Videos.
Point. Less.
I was hoping for something AMV-styled from the great Studio I.G. and instead I got 5 songs set to three vids. More or less. And I'm sorry, but the songs were just not working for me. So off it went, to make way for...
Rumbling Hearts, the Conclusion!
I finally got around to watching it, having planned to watch it over the weekend and trade notes with LK. I was tardy watching, and even tardier with my write-up here. I can only assume he's already seen it.
So. I'm conflicted. And a little confused. I /think/ I know what happened but I'm not sure. And if I'm correct, I'm not sure I like the outcome.

My real beef is that maybe for me it wasn't a certainty that Takayuki and Mitsuki wound up together. And, I still feel she didn't deserve him for her duplicity.
I need to post some more here - by now you guys know we're in Panama City Beach and we've had a great time. And I've had some weird dreams...
* Michelle Obama painted my nails (badly)
* I got FFXIV running on a PS2
* Some teacher (who looked like Happy Gilmore's gran) shot herself after a work meeting where Ape and I (fellow teachers in the dream) were leaving a staff meeting
