All I can think about after every time I look at my iOS 26 lock screen…
Poster for the movie “1917”. Soldier stands amid chaos with “1917” in bold behind him, surrounded by troops in a smoky battlefield scene.

Hmmm intriguing label… wonder what the rest says….
A close-up image of a bottle of Kyoto Ebisu Gin on a wooden table. The bottle has a wooden cap sealed with a green strip that reads “DOESN’T SCARE YOU. …OUGH.” The label is beige with red and black accents and features intricate artwork. In the background, ceramic plates are stacked on the table.

Fiiinally got to ride in one of the newer Shinkansen with 6(!) wheelchair seats!

Feel good weekend moment:

Went to a small izakaya and after my drink arrived I asked if they had a straw. The owner apologized they didn't.
3 min later he arrived with a straw from a convenience store. 😊❤️
A glass of iced drink with a straw sits on a table in front of a Japanese restaurant menu sign. The sign lists various dishes and prices, with a focus on 牛トロ煮込み (beef stew).

Good job Oura!
Me trying to find the accessible entrance at Shin-Ochanomizu Station
The image is from the Oura app showing stress levels throughout the day. A graph tracks fluctuations, and it highlights: Stressed “9m ago. It’s normal to experience stress daily. Balance it with restful sleep at night.”

Before committing to Croissant, want to be sure ALT text works so… here's a cat.
A fluffy orange and white cat sits inside a beige cat tree cubby, with its tail curled and face partially visible. In front, there is a spring-loaded ball toy, and the background shows a stone-textured wall.

I went to Takaosan yesterday day and stopped for soba at one of the rest stops. Just I was thinking “gee this table is low…” a staff member brought over a tin box and asked “will putting this under the tray help?”
I love meeting people who are thoughtful and also creative.
A tray for food with a tin box underneath it lifting it up higher to make it easier for the wheelchair user to eat.

Since it is Pi day and I have a weird obsession with AI-generated chicken McNuggets…
