– Miyazaki Hayao has retracted his retirement. In fact he’s already been deep into making the next feature film.
– “Teriyaki” is not a thing; it is a cooking method.
– People have started to wear masks in Japan. They are allergic to pollen. Poor things. I also see so many masks abandoned on the ground everywhere I go to it’s kind of hilarious. Do they just come off of people’s faces?
finally friday

lunch: rucola carrot salad & fried rice, which was exceptionally good (miso-marinated pork, egg, chopped green onion, garlic powder, minced ginger, soy sauce, salt, & pepper)

breakfast: coffee, ponkan, & liberté (banana, apricot jelly, mascarpone cream, espresso-soaked génoise, cinnamon-flavored crème pâtissière…all that sounds good and fancy except that i left it in the fridge, forgot about it, and left for work without it. so i had a couple of chocolate for breakfast instead.)

snack: liberté & protein bar
