Need gym advice (paging gym dads @thickurt @wheeljack ) I've been doing 5/3/1 but my strength is struggling to keep up with the advancing weights. It's probably because I'm on a cut. Should I change something? I've been failing I.e. not reaching the expected minimum number of reps on the last […]

When you meet someone who's really hot and seems nice but then their entire social media is just "look how hot I am" posts it's kind of a turn off

I went to Tama...again...even I know this is getting ridiculous. This area has a calming effect on me though

Back at the gym after 2 weeks. I don't feel too guilty since I'm not going to work out nor maintain the ol diet while traveling. People who can do that are next level

Theres a festival going on at the shrine next to my apartment so I walked over out of curiosity. Got some french fries and shaved ice, then saw people doing bon-odori in a circle. I started sheepishly trying to imitate them. One woman saw me and excitedly urged me into the circle. It took a […]

I'm replacing my hard cheap plastic chair with a cute green one I found on Ikea. I splurged a bit (28k yen or $175) but I'm really excited about it, not least to finally add some color to my furniture which is all greyscale

On a whim I decided to go to Kofu, a couple hours to the west in the mountains. Got a lot just out of staring out the window on the train. Also went to a restaurant run by a guy who lived in Portland for 29 years. Seeing all that nature and getting out of the tokyo bubble for a bit did wonders

Went out to an area called Minami Ozawa doing no prior research and walked around aimlessly, maybe for 30 minutes. Found a cool path through a small forest, then went back home lol. It helped just to hear the whirring of cicadas

This weekend my friend whose place I've crashed at so many times in Nagoya is now here in Tokyo and I'm returning the favor. Made (vegan ofc) burgers for us last night that were delicious and came together shockingly easily, so that might be going on the weekly rotation, then made brownies […]
