The gay bar scene here is pretty different. In Japan the drinks are all very basic and you don't need much skill to make them. I'm Taipei though people are doling out crazy concoctions that almost certainly require some training to be able to make

omg I won my first melee set today
Wahoo I picked up my tickets. I'm taking the work day off early and getting going right away tomorrow
The original plan was to leave Saturday morning but because it's Obon every single train from 6a-5p was completely booked

@michaelthec@poweredbygay.social IMO KH1 has the best most cohesive story, and KH2 has one of the best combat systems I've seen in any game. The rest are meh....just imo though
home is where I know true peace and can be unafraid to say "this cup of coffee took me on a trip to the yummiverse"
One discursive thing about Japanese I find interesting is that people often announce the type of speech they are about to do
for example, in my stand up at work the project manager always opens with "I would like to begin the daily meeting now"
or when a news segment begins it often opens with "I will now communicate the news"
Similarly the meeting ends with "Then, for today I would like to conclude the daily meeting. Thank you." and for the news, "This concludes the daily news"
Just did 110kg (242lbs) x 3 deadlifts weeeee

ok hold on hold on I'm kinda slapping something together now that I know about the jr east pass. Now thats an impressive map. 5 days all you can ride for 35k yen doesnt sound so bad
With some people it feels like every dialogue option you choose is the wrong one
My gyms closed all this month, so I have to go to a further out location, but just that slightly higher hurdle has been making me too lazy to do it on lunch break

Once again, how the HELL did I used to go literal weeks doing nothing but be on the computer when I was on summer break as a teen and not have an iota of a problem with it
Heading to Lake Biwa rn. As I'm getting closer to it again, I'm reminded the vibes of a lake town are ideal for me. ("Should I live here?" moment 83748 while in Japan)
It's hard to find burger buns, so I tried making my own. I can do most other kinds of cooking and baking, but I am bad specifically at bread. Kneading is not my forte and the dough always seems to get kinda fucked up, sticking to my hands.
This is a (soy) burger made with my first batch. I think I can improve at this...
What a great weekend. I'm just full of mushy happy feelings. Life is great

@germ@deletethis.lol I think some element of this is people just wanting to be contrarian lol. To me, I just want America to decide to stick to one one way or the other instead of this half assed switching twice a year that everyone hates

@yesjohn@mastodon.social I love lana but hot take alert I'm not a big fan of a lot of the born to die tracks so I need to do some trimming
Finished the novel Yesteryear (audiobook). Even though it's quite long I mowed through it in like three days. Reading reviews afterwards, the criticisms are definitely valid, but I enjoyed it. Being able to hold my interest gets major points from me lol
I have nothing to do at work today and that makes me anxious
There are some random things that need to be done but we haven't been given clear tasks yet 🤷♂️
As they say in german das krazie
today I learned my mp3 player supports synced lyrics. This is so cool

@yesjohn@mastodon.social John wtf I just watched the pilot for the first time an hour ago. Have we Synced
Today when having saizeriya with my friend a girl next to us, drunk off the white wine, started talking to us while her friend was like "oh here she goes again" which made the whole experience 5x more worth it
Conversation on friday:
Guy 1 (japanese-american): "I live in Boston"
Guy 2 (japanese): "How much is rent?"
1: "About 150k yen" (~$925, but later he told me he's actually paying $1200 so it's more like 190k yen)
2: "WHAT! That's enough for a whole family!"
1: "Yeah, I'm living with three roommates"
Me: "Oh, so 150k yen each?"
1: "Yeah"
2: "WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?"
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

@tytoalbion Noooo :( Pixelfed is pretty glitchy yeah, I couldn't get myself into it (mastodon does the job well enough for me and feels overall pretty tight as an app)
I don't really use the other platforms, but thanks for sharing your stuff here, I loved seeing them!!!
Fucked up a little bit doing overhead presses today and a tendon? in my left elbow hurts a bit when bending my arm. Hope it isn't anything major
I'm just a train sir

@admin@4bear.com I think it's a microcosm of what's going on online in general. So many places feel overrun by bots these days :(

Even though I've had occasional bouts of homesickness, I still found myself getting excited lining up the return flight to Tokyo like, "yeah, I live there!!!"
listening to my mp3 player on shuffle once again thinking wow whoever put this playlist together has excellent taste
