I can’t stand the ceiling lights

Fudenosuke pen.

Here once more.

Alva found this moth when sweeping the floor inside our house, while I was outside studying. He brought it outside and left it on the floor, but they wouldn’t take off no matter how hard they flapped their wings. They were flapping their wings so hard. If they were barely…

It’s cheap and well presented.

I thought I had good calligraphy til I started learning how to write kanji.

I managed to get a good ratio of matcha:soy milk for my matcha latte. You need more matcha (volume of the resulting liquor) than you probably want to admit (good matcha is sorta pricey…) and you need it to be stronger than your usual matcha. …

My matcha only fares well at 75 degrees celsius. 80 degrees makes it bitter, and today I waited too long to pour in the water so it was around 70 degrees, and while it wasn’t repulsive, it was weak and lacked body. But the worst part of it today was that I wasn’t able to get the froth/crema/foam right. This not only deprives you from feeling the foamy surface, which is an important part of the experience, but it also makes the rest of the tea feel watery in your mouth.
