I went to vote today, but I see you, Mother Nature. 👀 ❄️
Is this "winter wonderland" actually a coordinated tactical snow-strike to keep us away from the polls?
A medium portrait of a person indoors, looking toward the camera and flashing a peace sign. They are wearing a black turtleneck, a dark beret over short curly hair, and bold red lipstick. Through the window behind them, a tree covered in thick, puffy layers of snow is visible against the side of a light-colored house, contrasting the cozy indoor setting with the wintry exterior.

Thursday, a haiku
A close-up, top-down shot of a wooden table featuring a fluffy, white Shima Enaga (long-tailed tit) plushie standing behind a mug of dark coffee. In the foreground, a decorative turquoise plate with yellow floral patterns holds a single chocolate-covered snack bar. A black text box overlay contains a haiku titled "Thursday": "Body trapped in glass, Mind has long since clocked away, Corporate prison."

Low-stakes high-effort.

I bought 315 yen worth of Shamisen strings. In return, I received a full-page, personalized, handwritten letter of gratitude from the shop.

The labor cost of this ink alone exceeds my purchase. This country is a fever dream of polite absurdity and I’m obsessed #JapanLife
Handwritten letter in Japanese on lined paper, addressed to ████-sama from the shop "Wagakki Seikatsu." The elegant script thanks the customer for their order of Shamisen strings, mentions their wide variety of threads, and expresses hope that these strings enhance the customer's musical life.

After days and days of endless rain, the sun has finally decided to show up, and so have the cherry blossoms! I can finally stop being depressed…at least until the petals start falling and we enter the 春の終わり (end of spring) sadness and subsequent 五月病 (May malaise) arc.
A beautiful scene of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, lining a small road between modern buildings. The trees are covered in delicate white flowers, with some petals beginning to fall onto the dark asphalt below. The sky is clear and bright blue, contrasting with the dark tree trunks. In the background, more cherry trees and a distant building are visible, giving depth to the scene. The area appears quiet and peaceful, with no people in sight. A close-up view of cherry blossoms against a deep blue sky. The branches are heavily laden with clusters of white flowers, creating a dreamy, almost snow-like effect. Sunlight filters through the petals, casting a soft glow. The lower part of the image shows a green area with trees and a metal fence, indicating that the location might be a park or a public space. The blossoms look pristine, suggesting they have just reached their peak bloom.

Made a desperate coffee run to survive the first two hours of Monday—because legally, I shouldn’t be held responsible for anything I say before caffeine. At least the view was nice… unlike my will to work.
A city street lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom during daytime. The trees have delicate pink and white flowers, creating a striking contrast against the dark branches and urban surroundings. The street is flanked by modern apartment buildings with balconies and large windows, one painted in muted blue-gray and another in red brick. The sky is overcast with a uniform gray cloud cover, diffusing soft light over the scene. Cars, including a small white truck and a black van, are parked or driving along the street. Various signs, including parking and directional signs, are visible near the sidewalk, adding to the urban atmosphere. In the distance, more cherry blossom trees continue down the street, forming a picturesque canopy over the road.

The best part of Sakura season is sharing it with the people you love. Except me. I’m alone, aggressively taking pictures while frolicking around.

Full bloom is here.

Sultry looks also.

More Sakura! At least I was looking at pretty things while on lunch break…

My Yearly Sakura Report:
According to the forecasts, Kanto is supposed to hit full bloom tomorrow - but honestly, I’m not seeing it. Except for that one overachieving tree that already peaked, dropped half its petals, and is basically moving on with its life. Early bloomer syndrome, I guess.
A pair of feet wearing black leather shoes stand on a textured grey pavement made of square stone tiles with small white petals scattered across the ground. The petals are unevenly spread, some in clusters and others more sparse. The person is wearing dark pants, and sunlight casts soft shadows on the pavement. A tall cherry blossom tree in full bloom with delicate white flowers covering its branches, set against a clear blue sky. The tree’s branches are cascading down, and some green leaves are beginning to emerge.

Also, if you see me making another corset top instead of the shirt I started 2 months ago...no you didn’t.
A person with short dark hair, wearing a black beret, black turtleneck, and black wide-leg pants, is leaning over a pool table aiming a cue stick at the cue ball. They have a focused expression and are standing in a vintage-style bar filled with colorful posters, memorabilia, and a dartboard on the wall.
