Ghost Warrior, a 1984 movie, was quite a treat for me. It remains a treat, with Hiroshi Fujioka was the main star. He'd been Takeshi Hongo in the first Kamen Rider television series. He's still working!

I attempted to make Feather Bed Rolls! I halved the recipe and had to substitute a few things, and they ended up being dense and flat, but quite delicious. I shall try again! Probably can find variations online, of course.

Rhinoceros Beetles tussling for mates and food!

It is a Household Casebearer! They’re also called plaster bagworms, which I am used to. Bagworms are all over the place. I don’t see them often in the house, but I’ve seen a few of the moths.

Temptations. Some of these shirts are cotton, some cotton-polyester! Nine total. At 500 yen each, two are very temptin!

I am lucky that I don’t have a phobia about spiders. This beautiful white jumping spider lives in my car.

While this hoop pendants with a little flower and bee proved easy to find, someone added a little cat charm to hang in the middle and made earrings out of a pair. Pierced-type. I've been unable to find a seller of the same, darnit!

I took a walk in a small park that has a baseball field and tennis courts (where they also play pickleball). I amused myself picking up stray balls! Two are golfballs. One baseball is a J.S.B.B. The weathered one, I don’t know.

Gundam models! The big ones seem to be Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway HGUC Xi VS Penelope Funnel Effect set Model 2551156

I feel as though pigeons are Trapped in Ikebukuro Station. These three found a quiet cul-de-sac. These guys are near the central east exits.

Walking in a small park in Kanuma. Lovely little spring flowers. I think sweet viola, mock strawberry, and a small nest that seems to have been blown out of a tree.

The bright red light of it being on made me decide to give my microphone a hat.

Some of my friends are posting these, so I will add mine, too! Cherry blossoms beside a walking path, and Spring Starflowers!

#lizard outside in my yard! Perhaps a Japanese Grass Lizard. I was quite surprised because it’s a little early.

Nice retro-radio at the local shop!

I'm also reading the e-book John Laurens and the American Revolution, by Gregory D. Massey. I'm only 21% in, but it is a very good read. I'm learning quite a lot from the biographies. Sometimes very pointed statements about slavers' hypocrisy.

💙📚 💡📚 I read a lot, both audiobooks and non. Right now, I'm listening to The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates, edited by Ralph Ketcham, read by Sean Runnette. It's quite something. The delegates were worried about what's finally come to pass. Good book to read.

This was a little hard, because some comic covers that I used to love now grate the wrong way. However! However, I did find one.

I ran across a Model Contest show! I love these things, they’re all quite beautiful! Or intricate, and just generally really cool!

#baking So I stumbled upon star-shaped silicon molds in the back corner of my cupboard. It was necessary to test them on some of my remaining Super Soft Pumpkin Cookie dough!

When you hear that a cooking school is having a festival, you must attend! And spend more than you should.

I currently believe that these two insects might both be leafhoppers. Ah, #insects

@colleendoran.bsky.social It’s here! Good Omens!

It’s good to have the ability to get necessary vaccinations! The latest for the flu (Influenza) and COVID 19.

💙📚 💡📚 ⏳📚 That's one long title. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13545 Originally published in 1915, it includes a very important discussion about woman's suffrage in Chapter 6. "I felt, once you recognized the injustice done woman in not allowing them to vote, you would feel differently. And since women~

📚💙 📚💡The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood, by Irving Finkel. It was a pleasure to read, and to learn about the stories of old, and to see many photos of Cuneiform tablets, boats, locations, the writing. Fantastic! Wall, wall! Reed wall, reed wall!

Finally got around to watching episode 1 of Agatha Christie's #MARPLE! It's a delight, and full of familiar faces (and sometimes voices). Geraldine McEwan a delight, and I love Joanna Lumley. Have since Sapphire & Steel. Jack Davenport, once Norrington in Pirates of the Caribbean!
