Glasses lens falls onto the floor the second I step out of the elevator. Feels like my life needs a laugh track. At least I was able to find the screw.

One of the best parts of living in Tokyo is seeing Momoi tweet about a mini live and just going there. She's still got it, and there's nothing like being among the Momoists going all out during LOVE.EXE. Also helps that the new single she's promoting is a banger.

Candidates need to run ads declaring “The US Government Won’t Let You See Your Precious Umas”

Gemini is both brilliant and dumb as a pile of rocks. It can take a bunch of Japanese legalese and translate it into English parsable enough to give me the general idea of the insurance contract I'm looking at, but it's absolutely stumped by the concept of multi-frame PNGs, making me do screencaps.

BAU BAU!

Still best curry ever

NEW LIGHT NOVEL ANNOUNCEMENT: Kino’s Journey A young traveler named Kino and a talking motorcycle named Hermes are on the journey of a lifetime! They visit different countries one after another, experiencing human nature and society in its many forms.

Off to Osaka!

Nia Liston in a nutshell. To the top of my non-sequel list it goes.

The apartment is nice, big, and well located. Why is it so cheap? Oh.

And I think it might be time for an Osaka trip next weekend.

I feel like I could eat mapo tofu and curry every day for the rest of my life. It wouldn't be a very long life, but it would be a happy one.

All this for ¥750! Don't remember the last time I had a full meal for under $5.

Took me one bag of crispy sweets turning soggy within 24 hours of opening to understand why everything in Japan comes with a dessicant pad.

It's like I never left Seattle!

Too late for TGS, just in time for Reitaisai!

No, I don't think I will.

It's kinda cool to be living in the future. I can pull a computer out of my pocket, use it to photograph an AC remote labeled in a foreign language, ask it how to use that remote to cool the room to a specific temperature, and get a set of instructions that make sense and work on the first try!

I'm in Japan!

I miss old Gainax, though I suppose a better-run studio wouldn't have let its creators get away with the sort of things they have.

OKAY FINE YOU CAN HAVE A CHURU

It's official, I'm moving to Japan at the end of the month! Just got my student visa, going to be doing one last push towards fluency at a language school near Akiba.

Mona suddenly decided to become a lapcat

Had a dream about going through a combination job interview and mental health assessment that involved me playing through Civ V, which first needed to be recompiled to accommodate all the required mods.

I just found the most insane AO3 fic ever archiveofourown.org/works/89243206

Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.
