  1. The little new aquarium attraction at Hirakata Park is friggin’ cool. Better than Nifrel, more fun than Kaiyukan. Kudos to the designer.

  5. I was able to grab some tickets from a very limited online release yesterday. the ticket site ofc immediately went down at the stated time tickets would be going up due to everyone spamming refresh, but I was able to get through, *barely*, on my PC.

    thanks be to Costco for having a reasonably-priced bundle for an insta360. 85k in one go still hurts my wallet, but this will keep my partner happy and occupied for a very long time.

    joining in on the kaki appreciation – I never cared much for them up until this year, but something finally clicked. now I am constantly at risk of overeating them.

  6. English rugby league fixtures got announced yesterday and it turns out that the team I support (who have just been promoted back to the Super League for the first time in 11 years) are playing against our biggest rivals on the exact weekend I’m visiting home next year in July. As well as another revenge match at home against the team that we lost to in the promotion playoffs many years ago that I can hopefully attend. I cheered so loud and nearly threw my phone through the roof last night when I found out. I’m so excited.

  7. Not new complaints in the complaint thread for 3 weeks. So that’s a nice improvement in my overall life.

    I’m getting more responses in job hunting after a new agent helped me rewrite my CV. Feels good

    I love the weather. I’m never too hot anymore. I can wear my super comfy autumn clothes. In winter I always add underwear heatech layers that make it uncomfortable again. And no one has allergies in autumn, making it superior to Spring.

  8. On a trail run from Jinba to Takao, we found a nice side trail before Takao to avoid all the crowds. I’m happy that lots of people were out enjoying nature and Koyo but I’d rather not get stuck behind them on a run.

  9. Mister donut released a donut of the Pokémon ditto and so many of them look so silly. Looking through all the deformed ditto donuts is making me forget about having to working tomorrow. <3

  10. Well we got the results from the fertility clinic. It’s a 4AB embryo. Good results, but this was the best one of 5. I know my wifes age (40) and other factors are going to be important. I pray it all works out in the end.

  11. Wrapped up the first week of my new job in Kansai region, and a lot of things within the job were not as I expected (in a good way, of course). Can’t let my guard down as I’m still in the 研修 period, but hopefully things will stay this way.

  12. I was having a really rough time, depressed and anxious, spent all last weekend crying in my apartment. Early in the week, I called my parents and made a game plan. I am now on medication and I can breathe again. The world seems brighter, and I can focus in my Japanese language school! I may have a chance at passing the JLPT N4 in two weeks. Wish me luck! ⛩️

  13. Got a job offer abroad and I’m leaving Japan next year. Sad to leave but happy I’ll be getting paid 3x my salary in the new country.

  14. Between the residence permit line in Kansai only having one person in front of me and my bags being tagged as priority, I’m pretty sure I was the first person off my flight to clear all the post-arrival procedures. Made it landside in only about 20 minutes after stepping off the flight from the US. Praise be the zairyu card line.
