I am no model, but I got some sick new Tekken merch.

The front of a Tekken-themed baseball jersey, which I am wearing. It is grey with black pinstripes and black sleeves. On the front are two kanji symbols in red (translating to “King of Iron Fist”).

The back of the baseball jersey in the previous image, with the name Mishima and the number 94.

Me wearing a red windbreaker with Jin Kazama on the front.

Now this is a fine Japanese whisky!

A glass filled with The Shin Japanese whisky next to the bottle. The bottle is rectangular with a white label and the whisky is quite delicious.

Two updates: 1. Harold has been rechristened around our house as “Harriet.” 2. A second cat has been spotted!

Saw this one in a random gallery in Nashville in 2019 and I’ve never forgotten it.

“Swimming Pool (La Piscina)” by Italian artist Alessandro Papetti. It depicts two individuals from beneath the surface of the water in a pool, so their heads are not visible. The painting is entirely in shades of blue and it’s breathtaking.

I also spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes and he was very attentive.

Ducking randomly into a bookstore inevitably results in picking up yet another novel to add to my TBR pile.

My newest acquisition.

A statue of Buddha resting his head in his hands, cradling his knee. He is seated with one leg crossed underneath the other. He looks quite peaceful.

Who else seen the InfoWars Elf say yeeeaaahhh

The guy from the “who else seen the leprechaun say yeeaah!” meme. He is speaking into a microphone and wearing a white shirt and baby blue baseball cap backwards.

An old tweet from my Twitter account in 2015 that just reads “Ham!” repeatedly.

Much has been made about the Viking “row!” chants by Norwegian World Cup fans but actually Swedish Viking metal band Amon Amarth has been doing it since before then, including when I saw them at Red Rocks two years ago.
