Was in a bookstore Saturday, and the English section had a book collecting insults written by Shakespeare. Found this nugget of joy:
Villain, I have done thy mother!
Villain, I have done thy mother!

Bought this big cookie (thanks @cheesemeister.bsky.social and @andrewalfonso.ca ).
Average taste for a Japanese conbini cookie. Didn't feel big until I realized I was holding it with two hands while eating it
For the price of 258 yen it's great. 767 calories

Was walking along a street in Shibuya tonight, and a Japanese girl called out in perfect English asking if I would like to go to her girls' bar for only 4000 yen. If I wasn't walking with a friend I would've taken her up on it to hear her story

Played about an hour of Sonic Racing Crossworlds last night. Fun, but there's a ton of stuff going on. And customization of cars and abilities almost feels overwhelming

Around this time of year, people who strung their Christmas lights the wrong way start wandering into hardware stores looking for what they later find out is often called a "suicide cable."

After a year or two of talk and buying GameCube controllers (17 now 😂), finally found a great place to host a 16-player Mario Kart: Double Dash event. Did a site visit today, and it's perfect!
Looking at January or February. Excited!
