The lackluster summer continues. I did a very little bit of miniature painting and saw some robot dogs. If you are into that sort of thing, check out this post. つまらない夏が続いています。少しミニチュアを描いてロボット犬を見ました。興味があればこのポストを読んでください。 Doggies! I spotted some of those new robot dogs in the park that is my escape from my apartment the the other day. The… Continue reading September 2020 – Pokethulu

All I did this month was bitch about the pandemic, feel free to skip this one! 今月はパンデミックについて文句を言う以外何もしませんでした。この更新を見なくてもいいですよ！ I Am Not Pro-Pandemic Most of the time, I feel lucky. I have a good job at a company that lets us work from home and seems determined not to lay anyone off. I’m in a country with… Continue reading July 2020 – The Obvious
This month I took the camera out around my neighborhood looking for any excuse to not be in my apartment. I found some scenes that will be of interest to my fellow bored shut-ins only. 今月、カメラを持ってアパートから出かける理由を近所へ探しにいきました。他の引きこもっていてつまらない皆さんへ面白いシーンを見つけました。 About the Apartment One of the most interesting scenes around my apartment is the garden near the entrance. This… Continue reading June 2020 – Bra Politics
The pandemic continues. I spend most of my time working. Thankfully my company has not laid anyone off yet. In my free time I play an awful lot of video games and on-line board games. None of that is really blog-worthy. The best I can do is a few photos from my daily walks around… Continue reading May 2020 – Intercontinental Constitutional
April of 2020 was obliterated by the pandemic and all I have to show for it is some more cherry blossom photos. 2020年の四月はパンデミックにやられました。もう桜の写真しかありません。
I don’t know what they will call it in the future, but the Covid-19 Corona Virus Pandemic sucked. Because you know that as well as I, all I have for you this month is a few photos from around Nakano before the quarantine set in. 将来、何と言う知らないけれどコロナパンデミックはひどい。 私と同様（どうよう）に感じていると思いますが、隔離前の中野の写真を数枚のせます。 Photos from South Nakano It seems that every neighborhood… Continue reading March 2020 – Talk About a Buzz-Kill
That title is a little scary! We do not yet know the depth of our predicament, but the COVID-19 threat began this month. By the end of the month, events were being canceled, stores were sold out of masks and toilet paper, and I was regularly working at home to avoid the crowded commuter trains. But… Continue reading February 2020 – The Coming of the Plague
So little happened this month that I cosidered just skipping this month’s post. But I managed to scrounge up one interesting photo of myself and ex-student Kazumi, so that will have to be enough for you. 今月の更新をスキップする事を考えたほどに何もあまりしませんでした。でも私と昔の生徒の面白い写真を何とか手に入れました。 これで十分はずです。 New Year and Jet Lag I spent the last few days of my vacation hanging out with… Continue reading January 2020 – Drawing Exchange
Christmas and New Years The last year of the month was very quiet for me. I spent about 10 days hanging out with my Mom in my hometown. I watched a bunch of movies, ate way too many cookies, and had a nice Christmas celebration at my ister’s house. 今年の最後の月はとても静かでした 。 故郷で母と十日間のんびりしました。 映画をたくさん見てクッキーを食べ過ぎて妹の家でクリスマスのパーティーをしました。 The weather… Continue reading December 2019 – Christmas 2019
