One upside to this diabetes induced lifestyle change is that I’m able to work my way through the back catalog of anime I have been collecting. I’ve been watching episodes of Star Blazers while I run each night. I loved this show when I was a little kid. It’s been a real kick watching them again as an adult. For those who don’t know of it, it’s a Japanese produced cartoon series that follows the adventures of the last hope of an embattled earth, the Star Blazers, who have to travel to the other side of the galaxy and retrieve some gear that will allow them to save the earth from destruction at the hands of an evil starfaring race. It was originally broadcast in the NYC area on (channel 11?) in the early 80’s.

At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to take it, it’s a kids show mostly after all, but I’m actually enjoying it.
