Photo of a small dwarf hamster standing on its hind legs, with front paws up in the air in a very cute way. She looks like she's considering something important.
Because I happened to think of her just now, please enjoy this old photo of my long-departed hamster, Chiyo. She was the best.
Nearly got mugged near there, but all the same I agree. I miss Chicago
Though I've mostly adapted to the typical Japanese apartment kitchen, two things will never not bug me:
1. There's no counter space for food prep. Literally none.
2. Two burners are regularly insufficient.
For the first time in a while, I got a fast food burger today. No drink, no sides, just a single cheeseburger in a paper bag.
Tell me: WHY DOES THE PAPER BAG NEED TO GO IN A PLASTIC BAG?!?!?!
The hubris of the Trump administration is so incredibly dangerous. They've underestimated Iran in an extremely risky way and it's only going to get worse.
There's a photo out there of a tourist sipping on a bottle of the soup stock, so there must be precedent!
Excellent. Thanks.
Today's new print in the print shop! A late-night semi-abstract shot of fresh bamboo shoots reaching for the sky in my old neighborhood in Tokyo.
Find this and many more in my print shop. Get something nice for your home or give a great gift.
Shares appreciated!

That works!
A mantis shrimp probably could have saved us some trouble with that dress
These are great, thanks. How should I credit you?
It does, and it's different from the ones in my neighborhood (much more colorful). How should I credit you?
I need to order new cat food for the fuzzball, but it's not available from where I usually get it, and I can't order it easily because it's prescription food and I need to register the vet clinic on the store's site, with a number I don't have (and the vet is closed today). Good times.
That works!
Thank you!
That would be great. I know I've got a photo of a rusty old battery vending machine somewhere, but finding it among the 50,000+ pictures on that hard drive may be impossible
How should I credit you?
Oh that's cool. I'll add it to the regular vending machine page when I make it (and as an honorable mention on the uncommon vending machien page).
Formerly functional ones would be fine, too, as long as the thing they once vended is out of the ordinary
Thanks!
It's not even cold here, so it's going to melt off pretty quickly, but I really didn't see this coming
Who has pictures of uncommon vending machines in Japan? I put up a page on them on Japan Scavenger Hunt, and am still digging up photos I have, but would love to add anything other people have, too. Please reply with anything you'd like to submit, and how you want to be credited!
WHY IS IT SNOWING
Just got spooked by the Yi Jing again.
Arrow of truth straight to the heart, and I say that as a fairly committed skeptic of just about everything.
Whoever did this, thank you for the laugh.
I know nothing of curling, but that seemed good.
OK so your comment showed up as a reply to me, somehow, hence the weird reply, but my lack of problems with it stands. It's clearly unpredictable though
Oh I've been using it since the first developer beta came out, I've just dodged all the problem, it seems. It really appears to be inconsistent, device to device. I'm on a 2023 M2 MBP but I've not been able to see any rhyme or reason to who has trouble with it (or not) and why
Luckily, I've had no problems with the new Mac OS, but I know others have. At least when it's my machine I feel like there might be something I can do about it. When it's a server somewhere else in the world that keeps breaking WordPress, not much I can do.
