It's funny watching the #StreetFighter League Finals and the March #sumo basho simultaneously this evening.

The Ryogoku Kokugikan looks really odd to me with chairs and a stage. There's no old folks for the teams to fall onto!

The hosts sure have swag that puts NHK and Abema casters to shame. 😎

Federal gov workers are going through some bs right now. I really appreciate @altfws.bsky.social for getting this permit through in time for my birthday. 🎉

It’s her pet passport, since her species is on the CITES list (but common as dirt). She’s captive bred, and too dang derpy to be wild.

“Why is everyone is trying to steal my sausages?”

Afterwards, all cute and satisfied #tegu faces. 🦎

Instead of watching the stupid football game, we are going to an Okinawan #art event by EITEN on Sunday.

My brain might be biased since we watched this yesterday. Though Kotozakura is more like Cell lurking in the background 😂

I feel bad for Hoshoryu sometimes… How am I not surprised these two narcissists are yakking it up. #sumo

“Why yes, this is a normal sleeping position, why you bothering me?” 🦎

What a silly butt propping #tegu she is.

It’s funny that Takarafuji is the guardian of order in this basho, balancing the agent of chaos Shodai. #sumo

Aww, my #sumo postcards have been retired for awhile now.

And I guess Abema changing the visual style of the intro was the writing on the wall for big Teru. 🥲

We went to see the #Christmas boat parade in Newport today. Always nice to see Festive Fred the Raptor.

He’s got a busy week ahead moonlighting as Santa’s helper, repossessing any toys from kids who act up after Christmas. Santa has a hard time chasing down e-bikes, after all. 😒

The satisfied face of an adult #tegu who returned to a nostalgic place under the tv stand.

There’s still tiny bits of pool noodle under there, that we tried to use as a baby🦎 blockade. 😂

Our final video projects for this class are pretty hilarious even with limited vocabulary and grammar.

It is much nicer to practice Japanese reading comprehension and eat donuts instead of watching #TheGameAwards

I appreciate the tidbit of amphibian facts they included on a carnival prize. 😄

Wish I could regenerate part of my brain before finals.

I didn’t mind most of them, as long as they still tasted a little bit like wine. The one from the Yokohama market had a ton of berries in it, so it was more like hot sangria to me. 😁

This hot chocolate in Yokohama was the #1 best drink we got anywhere.

I don’t really care what grade I get in my Kinesiology class this semester.

The true reward was being strong enough to win a cute #axolotl from a high striker game at Phil’s holiday party.

Our local comm college is having a "De-Stress Fest: Movie Night" for the students, showing Parasite.

All chill vibes in that #movie, how fitting for our times. 😆

Snaxx ponders her Thanksgiving treat of salmon sashimi. 🦎 #tegu

Stupid autocorrect got me! Poor Tanji.

I may not have any chanko pics, but I do have one from practice last December where he had to accessorize. #sumo

(Please forgive the window reflections, I was standing rather far away) 😅

Oh no, now AI is coming for oyakata jobs. 50 years from now the robo-shimpan will look back on this fondly. 😂 #sumo #お相撲

The proper response to having a colorful scarf bestowed upon you is to lick all who observe your ignominy. 🦎

Show me your pet #herps and what they were named after.

It’s S-curve 🦎 Friday, she’s true to her name.

Aww come on now Youtube... I know moto-Takakeisho has his haters, but he's nowhere near as evil as Zoma! #sumo #dq3

Going to have to eat this curry that was in the pantry, in honor of Kitanofuji. RIP #北の富士
