I am very sad by The News so I will share this photo of my dog Natto and cat Bowie butt-cuddling, which is currently happening next to me.

Soon I will make popcorn and maybe rewatch the new Spinal Tap sequel, which I quite enjoyed.

I look forward to the next administration reversing all this ridiculousness. And hopefully wiping out any evidence of this clown's existence.

I finished the bead-and-embroidery interpretation of my moth tattoo.

Still a work in progress though.

The best iced matcha latte of my life was in 2004 in a cafe on the main tourist street in Kyoto. This is the 2nd best so far, found at an ochazuke restaurant in an Aeon Mall in Nagoya.

I spent all day and night fighting demons by making this outfit and working on my embroidery. This is my first attempt at making a top. I started with a Japanese vest pattern but then went a bit rogue…. 😅

Diary comic from my patreon
11/13 THU Last night I bought plane tickets to go back to the states until construction is finished by my house in Nagoya. Suddenly, magically, I am able to appreciate Japan again, now that I know I’m leaving. Walking alone at night, not worried about being mugged or shot. Image of me inside to game Pikmin Bloom, walking around a moonlit city Fancy Japanese fruit that seems overpriced until you bite into it and realize you get what you pay for!! Image: sexy grapes, pervy persimmons kissing Phones left on tables to indicate someone is sitting there. Bikes left unlocked. A lack of fear. Image of an empty chair beside a table with only a phone on it

I am so relieved about MAMDANI and the passage of prop. 50 that I cried happy tears for a change, then celebrated by pinking my hair and taking myself out for some kishimen. Could the USA actually be fixable? I am starting to feel hope again. Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 💓💓

a diary comic about excess
RECENTLY I WATCHED A VIDEO OF A BALL-LOVING GOLDEN RETRIEVER. THEIR PERSON SURPRISED THEM WITH A BALL PIT, BUT INSTEAD OF EXCITED, THE DOG JUST GOT SAD. IT REMINDED ME OF MY PET RAT, HARVEY, IN THE NINETIES, MY FIRST TRUE ANIMAL-LOVE. HE LOVED MILKBONE DOG TREATS! FOR A PHOTOSHOOT, MY BOYFRIEND PUT HARVEY ΑTΟP Α ΜOUNΤΑIN 0F MILKBONES, BUT INSTEAD OF HIS USUAL GLEE, HE SEEMED TO GET DEPRESSED. IT REMINDED ME OF REDACTED, WHO ONLY WANTED ME WHEN WE WERE BROKEN UP. EACH TIME WE GOT BACK TOGETHER... (SEE MY BOOK I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME) TODAY, PLAYING THE GAME PIKMIN BLOOM, I'M SO EAGER TO GROW ALL MY PIKMIN. BUT WHEN THEY 'RE ALL GROWN, I LOSE INTEREST. SURELY THERES A METAPHOR FOR BILLIONAIRES HERE.
