MY CABBAGE.

Margie says she needs more exposure, whatever that means.

To give you an idea. There are also warm shelves in the convenience stores.

BOO!

Timeline cleanse? Maybe?

We've been in the Donkey Kong minecart ride line for almost two hours. This bit of artistic design was pretty cool, though.

@tekgo.org Just for you, a Gundam scarecrow

Same, friend. Same.

She's helping me practice writing and saying hiragana characters.

Margie says to look at your goals head-on. And, if possible, do so while sitting in a very cute way.

Just eating a large egg sando in a cafe as the stereo cycles through classical music, opera, Josh Groban ("To Where You Are"), and Barbara Streisand ("A Woman In Love").

I struggled a good bit this week. AND I get to walk home to this view after getting groceries and trying to (and succeeding buy OTC meds for Saralyn.

No murders, only blue trains

Here's a goofy Margie. You've earned it.

We may be taken care of; we honestly don't know. But here's Chun-Li.

Meanwhile, here's Ryu from Street Fighter

Margie's doing fine in Nara. Saralyn got her the exact same kind of cat tree (different color, however) and she's been very happy with it. As you can see.

Our neighborhood isn't particularly urban (or even suburban), and that means we're close to several rice paddies. When you walk by them, all you smell is the rice, and it's the best scent.

Hello, Nara Prefecture. Hello, new home.
August 23, 2025 at 1:15 AM
(Margie said her cool and dramatic goodbye a few days ago.)
August 21, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Be seeing you, Tacoma.

I mean, probably, yeah.
