My doctor’s note says “Major depressive disorder, recurrent moderate” & my employer of 25 years says I need to take 90 days off to get well.
Thought I’d keep track of each day.

Day 1
Shaved.
Went for a walk.
Dug my half-finished Millennium Falcon model out and spent an hour tinkering.

Not bad

On Shōgun, it’s hard to keep track from week to week who is trying to fuck over who, but this week I literally could not tell who was fucking who. Light some candles people.

I don’t have any idea what’s going on in Ukraine now since all the experts I was following online for Ukraine info turned out to actually be pretty pro-genocide when it comes to other wars.

Kept seeing that video of the Japanese Apple Store going around. Didn’t seem right so I went and checked.

This is some top level design work right here.

If there’s two things I like, it’s Kaiju and polygamy.
Why are there no TV shows for people like me?

I’ve been robbed.

There’s zero benefit for any politician to be filmed playing sports against little kids. Has this ever made a politician look good?

8-year-old just described his monthly allowance as ‘grinding for money’.

What % of mass shooters in the US know what the AR in AR-15 stands for? 95%? 100%?

Maybe it’s not as great a gotcha question as the gun nuts think it is.

I just had someone on the street ask me for money. Fifteen years living in Tokyo and this was a first.

You know that summer is officially over when the kitties start snuggling.

My 8 year-old and I just won 4 straight games of Fortnite.

He says this is the greatest day of his life.

Judge Engoron sounds like the name of a Game of Thrones character.

There are still things that blow me away in this country.

It must be pretty fun being in Tom Waits’ band these days, just hitting an old refrigerator with a hammer.

I remember in the 80’s on “What Will They Think of Next?”, they were explaining the concept of noise cancellation & how we could expect to see it in the future.
According to them, noise cancelling came from the source, so a jackhammer would have a speaker blasting canceling sound waves.
Wha happen?

There’s nothing worse than when your password app suddenly asks you to enter your ‘master password’ every couple months.
If I could remember passwords, I wouldn’t need your stupid app assholes.

The biggest difference between Japanese people and people everywhere else I’ve lived (and scientists should study this), is that all Japanese people I’ve met are happy drunks.

Dumb question, do the bees not need that honey?

I finally got to watch Everything Everywhere All At Once - but Japanese Netflix only has Japanese subtitles. Can someone explain what I just watched? Just the parts in Chinese.

Confession: I don’t think The Usual Suspects is a good movie. I like it less with every rewatch.
