Farewell to Nam Kaeng
Cats come and go at this house, but Nam Kaeng was special because she was so sassy and a patchwork quilt kind of mean girl. The first time she ran up to me, I thought she was rabid because she was so familiar and insistent on getting scratched on the head. It turns out she was just claiming her new servant. It turns out she came from a neighbor’s house and just decided to live here with our other cats, much to the consternation of her owners. I took her back to their house several times, and they kept her in a cage, but she managed to escape and come…

平成から令和になる前の20時頃、戎橋から道頓堀川へダイブしようと思ったけど船に落下した瞬間の動画らしい… pic.twitter.com/O9O1mz9eH2 — こな (@aaosaka90) May 1, 2019 Alt. view: 道頓堀、令和カウントダウン飛び込みダイブで事故発生。危険ですのでやめましょう。 pic.twitter.com/zahGn8Tz4s — iva (@sui_uj) April 30, 2019 Apparently he just walked off when the boat docked. That’s the Ebisubashi bridge (Nampabashi/Hikkakebashi) under the famous Glico neon sign, where I spent approximately 0.004% of my total time in Japan. If I remember correctly, that was just enough time for me or my friends to throw someone else off that bridge… Was it me? I was pretty OK at drunk judo… Was it Dave? Was it on TV? For the life of me, I can’t even remember the name of the guy we threw off… I remember he was a real…

Beautiful Gmail
If all you need out of Gmail is the e-mail functionality, check this out: Darwin Mail If you want to try something similar with a Chrome extension that changes the look of Gmail and was created by the former lead designer of Gmail, you can try Simplify Gmail. This is what I’ll be trying first, since I use Hangouts and sidebar categories a lot.

Color Theory
Color is an element of art. My kids love this lesson. I wish this website was still up; it looks like it’s being squatted now.

TikTok is all Mina would do all day, if I didn’t force her out of the house to go shopping and stuff.

How do you like them jackfruits?
My favorite urinal in the whole world because peeing while staring at swollen jackfruit pairs is somehow fascinating. This is at an all-you-can-eat hot pot/grill buffet that has unfortunately changed owners, upped their prices, and is no longer worth going to. RIP Mum Aloi Ban Din Dam… Your 99 Baht buffet was the best in town!

Max, Into the Arms of America
Max is going to stay with my sis in Washington for a couple months. He’ll be there until the end of the last term of 2nd grade there to see what it’s like. We’ll see what happens from there, but anything is possible. We can uproot and move within a couple years, if that feels like the right thing to do. We aren’t really keen on splitting up the family in different places while the kids are so young. But Max wants to go, and hasn’t wavered at all, even while playing with Mina for the last time in a while earlier tonight. Meanwhile, my days are filled with keeping…
