My inbox zine is for positive deviants and the people who love them: rustyselectricdreams.substack.com

Japan's signs are next level. I took pix of the weird, the cute, the confusing, and the accidentally poetic. There’s one with Spider-Man climbing into a giant clam. Another that suggests defacing bamboo *should* be a crime 😆

When I was planning our trip to Japan, I wanted real advice from someone who'd just been.
So I wrote the post I wish I’d found.

We made a jacket we think Allee would've loved. It's hot pink & full of soul.

I expected sushi, vending machines, and kawaii overload in Japan (and got plenty of that!). I did not expect Cape Cod. New (Big in Japan) is up! rustyselectricdreams.substack.com/p/cape-codin...

I can’t prove it, but I’d bet good money a man thought this one up. Still, as screwy as the message is, kudos to that dude.

You don’t need permission to play. But if you insist… Fine. Permission granted.

Doomscrolling won’t change the world. Joy might. Delight is the real glitch in the system. The world is built to keep you overwhelmed, pissed off, & too drained to do anything about it. But joy? Joy throws everything off. It catches people off guard. It spreads faster. It makes change feel possible.

Be a glitch in the system. A joyful saboteur. Let’s make it weird. Let’s go --> rustyselectricdreams.substack.com/p/making-it-...

This one is NOT about Japanese toilets. It's about Greedy Fruits Omelets and its fruit sando friends. rustyselectricdreams.substack.com/p/greedy-fru...

Japan’s toilets: Either high-tech thrones or a squat test of courage...choose wisely! 🚽😅 #BigInJapan

I went to Japan and now I'm aching to write about Japan. So, I started a new sub-Substack called (Big in Japan) where I share my observations on their quirky, cool, and kawaii culture as a "gaijin" (essentially a "gringo").

This issue covers a lot, starting with the strange timing of my Japan trip just as the L.A. fires started. Plus: Japan joy, celebrating 10 years, and embracing my 'Rusty' identity! Also: special correspondent reporting from Maha Kumbh Mela.

Ten years ago today I legally became "Rusty Blazenhoff"! What a wild ride it's been since that day at the Alameda Courthouse. Please wish me a Happy Nameiversary 🎉❤️

I thought this was a little weird until I remembered Hampton Inn is a Hilton brand #breakfastofchampions

Fans created a makeshift shrine for David Lynch at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, a place he frequented for late lunches with coffee and chocolate shakes. 💔

I picked a weird time to be in Japan.

Christmas in L.A. be like
🌵💕 Just like that, Willis Wonderland is ready for Christmas! For all the glorious kitsch Allee Willis collected, almost none of it was Christmas-themed. (To be fair, she *was* Jewish.) So, we got creative. Using vintage cotton balls, we made this "Christmas cactus." 🎉 #AlleeWillis #WillisWonderland

There was a white elephant gift exchange this morning at the L.A. Breakfast Club holiday party...which I *clearly* won.
