こんばんは！
Today’s photo is of our Usagi Shamoji (usagi=rabbit; shamoji=rice spoon). We’ve had several different shamoji over the years, but I really like the fun(ny) ones, such as the rabbit spoon. Not only does it look nice, but it’s practical too since it stands up! The “standing fish” spoon is also a good design. We had one of them for a couple years until it cracked, and now we have the rabbit spoon. I recommend either one. 😄🐰🐟

On Sundays I can sleep in later than usual, but today I woke up early and had a quiet morning to myself while the rest of the family slept. Well, the kittens and dog were up and kept me company while I drank my coffee! In the photo above, you can see the morning sun coming in from the west, and the kittens relaxing under the dining table. They are really funny little creatures who can seemingly be comfortable sleeping anywhere. Amazing!
Today I spent a lot of time in front of the screen watching Japanese dorama. I really can get sucked into these and I prefer to binge-watch them, so I wait until the entire series is finished then watch them all at once. The first one I watched today was Omukae Death. I watched the bulk of the episodes yesterday and finished up the final episode this morning (mini-review coming soon!).
This afternoon I continued watching Juhan Shuttai and now it is 11pm and I am on the second-to-last episode of that series. It’s pretty interesting, and I’ll finish it up later this week. Besides those two, I am waiting for the final episode of Hayako-sensei, Kekkon Surutte Hontou desu ka? to be shown. That’s the series I am enjoying most this season. I guess it’s because it’s aimed towards an older crowd, although still younger than me!
There are a couple other doramas that I want to watch (which Mariko says I will enjoy), but I’ll probably binge watch them next week when my family travels to Japan and I am left at home for “bachelor summer”. I’ll have a lot of free time! 😟
You know, I rarely spend a lot of time watching long stretches of tv, but once in a while I’ll get in the mood and enjoy it a lot!
Well, I hope you had a nice weekend, and we’ll see you tomorrow!

The photo above is how I am feeling right now… tired, out of focus, but happy. You see, my wife had friends over this evening for another potluck, so I got to eat delicious food once again, and then they all chatted the entire evening and I got to watch several episodes of Omukae Desu. I made it to the final episode, but this last one is 1.5 hours long, and it is getting late, so I’ll finish it tomorrow.
We made it to the weekend! And my kids made it to the end of their Summer Camps. Bay attended a 3D Printing & Product Design camp at UT Austin, where he learned how to use Autocad and created a prototype aquatic propulsion system using the 3D printer. The instructor said he was a great student with an eye for detail. I’m so proud!
In the photo above, you can see Bay presenting his product. He said that he was familiar with the software already since they use it in his engineering class in high school, but it’s always good to get practice and use it on a new project.
It was a busy week for the entire family, with Koa also going to camp, and Mariko being a chauffeur for Bay. I think everyone is exhausted and looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I know I am!

こんばんは！How’s it going?
Yet another cloud photo?! I’m having fun making these images using my X100T. I’ve been playing around with the exposure compensation dial, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to try to darken the sky a lot so I can bring out more detail in the bright clouds. I even noticed that my camera used its electronic shutter to take today’s photo at 1/15,000 of second, and yesterday’s photo at 1/23,000 of a second. That is insane!
Anyways, that’s all I’ve got for today… just a cloud photo, but at least this one has some color right around the sun. It’s kind of cool the things you can uncover by adjusting camera settings and post-processing in Lightroom. Fun stuff!
Have a good evening!
おやすみなさい！

My camera & photos
I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?
