Yeah, I Started Twittering
- No public Twitter messages.
uh-oh seems you’ve finally hit that age when you start forgetting things . . .
The good news is that 48 is only 30 in hexadecimal.
I blame my blog software. It showed the post as unpublished, as it sometimes does, so I thought it was one of my “reserve” posts, made when I created too many posts for one day and so kept it for later publishing. The text varies as I check and edit reserve posts before putting them up. In any case, I deleted the previous one.
What really shows either a lack of memory–or, at least, a lack of self-control–is that my “retirement” from blogging now consists of daily posts again. Talk about a monkey on your back!
wrt the picture, It’s kinda funny, but sad, that if something is written in English in Japan it’s completely extraneous
would it kill them to spell “Popcorn Shrimp” in romaji? Granted, we don’t spell our loan words in native kana, but we don’t have 30,000+ loan words, either.
