This is 57~ Wednesday I was treated to dinner at the Palace Hotel. Thursday was a facial and lunch in Omotesandō.
Friday was spent at home. Saturday was Jimbocho to shop for stationery and books. Today, I made a yummy kabosu pie.

A quick trip to Niigata to see Uno Shoma's Ice Brave skating show. He and former coach Lamiel together were fantastic, and his ice dancing with girlfriend Honda Marin was so beautiful. He announced Ice Brave 2, and I'm so there for it!

Godzilla and a plate of inappropriate carbs, including sourdough focaccia, seeded sourdough, cardamon buns and carrot cake. The first two are from Brød, the second two from Truffle Bakery, both best Hiro-o station. The seeded bread is Odin, Thorson. 🤣

Today, I headed to the Yayoi Yumeji museum for the 60th anniversary of Aoike Yasuko's career. I was tickled pink to see so so many originals.

I am quite pleased with the tiny acrylic stand of Klaus "on a business trip to Alaska." XD

Not something you expect to find in a back alley in Tokyo. I thought the Americans by the tree who said "snake!" were joshing their sons. I walked by, looked over and realized I was about a meter from a snake. The first I've seen in Japan. He withdrew into the tree before I could get a good Pic.

Last Friday~ Success at the bank, stationery shopping at Itoya, lunch at Mariage Frères (blackberry matcha tart!) and an excellent GRANRODEO show

I hadn't been to Nikko in almost 18 years, and I had no camera on that trip, so I decided to make a day trip of it for my 11th Japaniversary. Featured here are the Nekonemuri (sleeping cat) and hear/see/speak no evil monkeys.

I had another happy stationery shopping spree, this time at mt lab. mt stands for "masking tape," and mt lab is Japan's premier washi tape maker. The boutique is tiny, but deadly. I'm not allowed to shop any more. 😅 #mtlab #washitape

Bungo Stray Dog circus-themed illusion event at the Tokyo Anime Center in Shibuya. I didn't get that you had to use flash to get the secret hints, but they took pity on me and let me get a free card anyhow. #bsd #bungostraydogs #nakaharachuuya

I wish there were texting gators out there. So many times I've come close to putting my tiny, tiny foot up someone's rear because I need to be somewhere, but they're walking at a snail's pace, glued to their phone.

Latte Len! I asked the staff to use a photo of Len, resulting in this cutie. I paired the honey latte with a matcha Basque cheesecake

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
