Las Culturistas has been feeding me well lately with their guests. First, Lady Gaga. And then, Cate Blanchett. Thank you!

I've just been thinking about wanting to watch all seasons of the original Melrose Place. But all streaming services that I'm currently subscribed to don't have it, and I don't want to subscribe to any more. What to do what to do?!?

I finished reading my third all-in-Japanese book. In English, it's "Tokyo Ueno Station" by Yu Miri. I love reading and I thought about how I first started reading my first English books- not understanding everything, but just relishing the act of reading. I read Japanese books in that same spirit.

How do I feel about my marriage not being recognized in Japan? It's unfair AF. Example: I can't get a spouse visa to legally reside here. Change is happening REALLY slowly in Japan. But I hope my marriage will be recognized someday. Until then, I'm just happy to not get explicitly discriminated on.

Sometimes I miss my salary in the US. I got paid 3x more than here in Japan, and now with the weak yen, it feels like more. Can't spend frivolously anymore. I've had to rethink happiness. Appreciate smaller moments, food, a good book/graphic novel. I like my life now, but I wish I got paid more.

Walking in winter is invigorating.
I didn’t expect to like snowy winters this much. The sound of stepping on snow and ice. Having to walk intentionally or else you have the potential to slip. Bundling up. Stark white views relaxing you.
