My favorite bento at the co-op is now 599 yen. It was about 450 yen, 10 years ago.

That's a 33% increase in 10 years (the price used to increase once a year, then twice a year, this is the second increase of 2026)

Meanwhile my salary has increased of not even 10% (the regular seniority increase, nothing else)

Humidity is here... So it's officially summer, right? Tsuyu was the two days of rain last week???

Another great dry noodle festival @ Komazawa Koen.

I see a lot of people mentioning that it's 30 degrees in Tokyo today, for the first time of the year... Oh poor things... Meanwhile I'm enjoying my 29 degrees for the first time of the year... Much more bearable...

Empire Strikes Back is currently on Japanese TV (it's almost over). I just watched the "I am your father" scene and... Darth Vader's delivery was shit. He speaks way too fast, his words have no time to make an impact. I was half-expecting Luke to ask him to repeat because he couldn't hear well...

Tired of having my bike fall over anytime I covered it for a rain storm. So I did something about it.

So... My university has decided to have a "new" mascot (I didn't know we already had one, I guess this sort of K with eyes that shows up from time to time here and there?).

Anyone at the uni can submit entries... Hmmm.... 🤔
