Why dont I ever have enough time to keep the house clean, raise my child, work a startup manager job, do three kinds of online gaming, paint minis, play music, cook for my family, draw comics, learn chinese, keep in touch with all my friends, exercise, and blog regularly?

Looking at a book of old maps with my kid. Really old maps, with sea monsters in the corners, where California is an island.

Blogging about anime: I wrote a thing about My Neighbor Totoro
about all the things this movie means to me, about why it's not boring even though it has basically no conflict, about ki-shou-ten-ketsu story structure, and about how it's actually a conservative, religious movie
