The Week #309
by James- π© I made this post on time, but rushed when hitting save and forgot to move it from Draft to Published. 308 weeks without missing a Tuesday and I didn't realize until almost 311. I've edited the timestamps so it appears in the correct order.
- π Leo had school on Saturday and we could observe a couple of classes. Rather than regular classes, his schedule that day were... I don't know what, but I'm mixed. I loved seeing the games they built designed, but also I would have loved to see an actual academic class. This said, thanks to the chaos of it all, I was able to chat with the other foreign dad and exchange LINEs. Only took us 3 years of being in the same class to you know... talk to one another.
- πΆ Arashi, a popular boy band in Japan, disbanded and had their last live at Tokyo Dome after 26.5 years. I watched part of it and they know how to put on a show. While I don't listen to them regularly, they do have some catchy songs and their music is everywhere. Huge success, but equally impressive is you don't often see a group stay together for that long, let alone with the original members. Props. π
- π£οΈ Boyo has been speaking a bit more English. And for the first time he's actually said can speak English. This is a huge shift from his previous stance of "I don't know English", despite being able to understand movies and everything I tell him. Bit-by-bit we'll build his confidence in his abilities.

The Week #308
by James- π©Ί We went to a local university festival and it was a lot of fun. It's not a regular festival (though there is yakisoba!) as there are a lot of educational / experience opportunities and the money you do pay (when required) acts as a donation. The first big standout thing we did this year at the Yokohama medical association where Leo and I got to wear the white doctor's coat, then practice our electrocautery skills on an eggplant.
- 𫨠The second standout thing was this big earthquake simulator truck. Inside the truck they had a table and 4 chairs setup, then they play the earthquake alert noise and it starts shaking like a shindo-7 quake. Because it's a simulator it's not scary at all, but if one that big came out of nowhere it would be quite frightening.
- π€ I decided it's time I start really using the family computer for programming and such and installed OpenCode + local models to learn, but also start getting things done on Tanzawa again. It's an older model so it's not quite as useful as the new ones, but it is fun to look at activity monitor, see the ram completely filled, and hear the fan turn on on the otherwise silent iMac.
- βοΈ It's getting quite hot lately and the AC unit at the jikka is old and undersized β a winning combination for keeping cool. I went with my FIL to Fujisawa to check out some new ones. Good news is we decided and it's done. Bad news is it won't get installed until July. Hopefully the current one doesn't break before then... Afterwards we got a coffee and had a chat β I always enjoy these catchups and learning what it was like growing up in post-war Japan with enough siblings to field a baseball team.
