こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today I received a new Jinhao fountain pen from Ebay. It was only $0.99! It actually writes very nicely, smooth and comfortable. The ink flows at a nice rate and I even though I don’t write very fast, there’s no skipping at all when I did some quick scribbles. It’s very light (maybe a little too light) but very comfortable to hold, and relatively thin, so I can keep it within the spiral of my plain Mead notebook. The clip is basic but works well. And did I mention it was only 99 cents (including shipping)? Wow.

The other day, Mariko found Koa’s Fitbit Charge in an old backpack. Koa said he didn’t really want it so he gave it to me, and I’ve been wearing it for a couple days. I wasn’t sure how it would feel wearing it on my right wrist since I usually keep a regular watch on my left. But I guess it feels good. The Fitbit Charge is pretty small and light, so I barely notice it.
The photo above is of my two regular watches. The one on the left is my go-to Seiko SKX007 watch and is always kept wound (automatically) since I wear it often. The Seiko SNK809 with the blue striped band is only worn occasionally, which is why the date is wrong. It’s also an automatic watch, which means that it powers up as you move around. However, if it’s not worn/moved for a day, it will run out of power. To start it back up, you just need to shake it a little bit and then you’ll have to set the time, which is quick. Setting the date is a little more involved because you have to set it to yesterday’s day/date, then advance the hands past midnight to flip the day/date and then keep going until you get to the correct time. (If you just set it to today’s date, you won’t be certain if the time is set to AM or PM) Because it takes a while, and because I also know that I won’t be wearing it again for a while, I don’t bother setting the date on that watch And that’s why it shows Tuesday, the 5th in the photo.
I hope you enjoyed that mini-introduction into the wonderful world of automatic watches. 😝

The past couple days I’ve been a little under-the-weather, and getting a lot of sleep to regain my energy. It’s crazy but my workload is super-high and productivity is also increased. But maybe it’s taking a toll on my health? Or perhaps I caught the bug that’s been going around.
Anyway, here’s another pet photo. Today it’s our cat Yuzu. Meow!

こんばんは。This evening I went to see The Shape of Water. I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially the setting of America in the early ’60s. The style was so cool back then! The movie itself was interesting, the good guys were likable, and the villain was despicable. And it was a pretty simple plot, now that I think about it, but not every movie needs to have intricate plot twists.
Tonight’s photo is of Koa’s mallet-work. He practices a lot every day, and it definitely pays off! And it’s great that he enjoys it so much. Happy! 😄

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?
