Last night I dreamed I had a long conversation with a dentist about whether I should proceed with dental implants because it costs too much and I have so many other huge expenses. We decided not to proceed. This morning I have phase 2 of dental implant surgery. Sigh. It was only a dream.

So many books, not enough time to read! (I have started Kingdom of Characters and Yap!)

Kingdom of Characters by Jing Tsu. So good! Chapter 1 was the lead up to the adoption of Bopomofo; Chapter 2 is about the creation of a Chinese typewriter...

Yap! By Stephanie Howard-Smith and Savage by Catherine S. Chan. Two new dog history books.

Reform with No Wasted Draws - manga by Hideki Ohwada vol 1. "The fate of nations is decided on the Mahjong table".

I haven't been posting on bsky much because my phone app won't let me into my account. Something about "the homeserver" 🤔 Anyway, I don't need more social media time.

I am playing in my 1st Mahjong tournament tomorrow! (@nathanrlong.bsky.social's 3rd time) Should I SLAM down the tiles to scare off bad spirits? Or say "I am waiting for ZiMo" to invite good luck? In any case, the challenge will be staying seated and keeping my brain alive for 6 hours!

At The Pop Hop for Mahjong Sosyal (Filipino mahjong)

I didn't win, but I had 4 Kongs. (HK mahjong at home)

You can now pick up a copy of my zine at The Pop Hop in Highland Park!

Aww. It looks like someone's Hollywood star needs a chain link fence, scaffolding, a stripey curtain-tarp, and two or three National Guard soldiers protecting it.

It’s almost 100 degrees and it makes sense that our cats under the table (we haven’t been seeing much of them) But when I peek under there, they are totally snuggling and have merged into one fluffy pile. How is that staying cool? 🤔

Today I started a Chinese brush painting class and learned about this amazing thing called a Magic Cloth. www.blueheronarts.com/Magic-Cloth-...

Mr Henry Li (teacher) "makes notes" on my paintings

Trying out the magic cloth. The "ink" evaporates fast!!! Faster than expected.
