This past weekend, I was lucky enough to see and hear one legend and see the work of another. During this Japan-themed weekend, I also saw a coworker from my Japan-related imprint and had meetings related to the JET Program/JETAA.

Because I just got my comps in and the word is already out there, I thought I'd take this opportunity to confirm I'm editing Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick. It's a great manga, and I'm excited it's finally getting an English release after all these years!

I had the honor of representing JETAA USA as Country Representative at CanCon in Halifax this weekend. There was a lot of great discussion among all the international alumni present. Great job, everyone!

This is the look he gave me when I told him I have too many messages, texts, and emails to respond to and don't know what to do.

It's #DragonQuestDay, so here's a DQ story. I first played Dragon Warrior on NES when I was too little to understand it, but I remember battling slimes! Skip ahead a few years and many games, and I edited Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. Now I'm an editor for Square Enix Manga & Books. Who knew?

It drives me batty when I hear people in the gaming industry or JP pop culture media report on things and use the wrong term for who they're talking about.

Somehow, I've reached a new peak of stress for the year. With everything going on, I did manage to see this last weekend, though.

I saw the 4K IMAX release of Princess Mononoke this week on my birthday. It's my favorite movie, so I have to give it 12/10. Tix are selling out fast for remaining showings, and you need to see this. Go. Also, now is the best time to support REAL Ghibli releases and products rather than fake trash.

I decided it's a good week for finishing crafts I've had for too long.

On this ACNH anniversary, I coincidentally saw a good deal on the Julian LEGO set. He's my favorite villager, so I had to finally get this set even though I only care about the minifig. It's also fitting since it's a bday set, and my bday is in a week. Julian is the best 🦄

A lot has been going on, so I didn't get around to posting last year's projects when it was actually 2024. Here are some of my projects that shipped last year. Something something Valentine's Day. Show your books some love. 💜

Tonight I made 練り切り (nerikiri) with Great Lakes JETAA. It might be more important than ever to find time for new activities. This was such a unique experience. You never know what might come your way as a member of JETAAUSA. I'd encourage everyone to find your community and practice new skills.

Seeking advice. I think my cat cloned himself. I can't tell which one is the original. Ideas?

This was a holiday journey. I have this vintage American Girl doll Christmas tree set that I haven't gotten out it a few years because it takes time to set up. I've always wanted to try stained glass cookies, but I don't have any cookie cutters...

Time for a holiday cautionary tale... When you buy discount holiday candy, remember not to hide it *too* well. I had a tiny heartbreak when I rediscovered this would-be yummy chocolate recently. Would've been delicious about six months ago...if it hadn't suffered the summer heat in an attic 😢

Since people are becoming more active on here, these are some of my projects! Whether or not it's one of these, I encourage you to find a way to enjoy stories today. I find it really helps.
