Truchet tiles spotted
They did this cool thing where there was one area of the walkway tiles with the chaotic/aperiodic Truchet tiles, and another area tiled with one repeating tile that formed a complete unbroken picture with the Truchet tiles but were themselves totally regular, so it was like this rough border with order on one side and chaos on the other
This is still in the park around the Tower of the Sun. Every individual little part of this place had so much care and thought put in it
Note: If you like the posts above from my visit to the Tower of the Sun, you may also like Miguel's thread on Bluesky with his own photos from the day. Miguel paid extra to be allowed to take photos inside of the Tower (above described as "Him") above the first floor (they appear to be very concerned about people dropping their cameras and make you rent a lanyard) and so got some shots I was not able to

I concluded my day by making… making what what may have been a very unwise purchase.
Or maybe it will turn out to have be the wisest purchases I have ever made. It is too early to tell
I just… I saw them, I was getting something at the pharmacy by the subway station and I saw them, and I thought "do I want one of these?" and suddenly the thought hit me, a lightning bolt of absolute certainty, that no, no what I want is *four of them*.
They are posable.
Ok I got a explanation from a protected account abt this https://mastodon.social/@mcc/113400800877383368
Apparently "image" is "Wasei-eigo"— an English borrow word that took on a distinct meaning unlike its original meaning. This happens in all languages, it's why reborrowing exists, but it happens so much EN->JA there's a word for it.
The English word "Image" in a Japanese sentence means "impression" or abstract mental picture. So someone left "image" in a Japanese sentence untranslated, bc it was "already English"…
We passed by another of those "Feed Me Orange" juice-squeezed-while-you-watch vending machines (see upthread) but this time I just looked at it and was like… well, actually I could really go for some orange juice right about now.
So I tried it and… okay!! It was actually some really good orange juice!!
Ran into Toby Fox in the basement of a mall in Osaka
(the location these were found for sale implies these at some point were in a gacha machine)
Walking through the Osaka rail station I saw a dude in his late 40s wearing an open button-down under which was a T shirt reading "FOLLOW YOUR FUCKING DREAMS". I am telling you this because I wanted to post the below image but it did not seem like enough of a post by itself.
But I do like this image
To follow up on my post above (Quote: "Beans") Miguel just posted a thread of his photos from that event on bluesky, and he got a photo of the projection mapping monoliths half sunken in the lake

Going for some slightly aggro fashion choices tonight
I was like "hmm my hair's a little out of control tonight… might as well lean into it"
Okay this is maybe a little too specific to ever come up but if anyone ever wants a recommendation for an Indian restaurant in Nagoya, Japan, I have you covered
