sugar

 

The dentist said I have beautiful teeth, and the hygienist said to continue doing what I've been doing.  I guess that means I can continue consuming sugar at the same rate as before.

graduation

 


It was a sunny, hot and humid day.  The scenery by the parking lot was nice.  Air conditioning is the best.

hello panda

Today we have the Hello Panda strawberry cookies from Meiji.  This bag is about 4 inches and has 21 pieces inside.  The cookies look slightly different from the package illustration.  Some of the designs are hard to make out.  Is the panda running, or is it riding a bike?  In any case, they're still cute and they taste okay.  The cookie tastes like a dense strawberry pocky stick.

10. orb

I have an orb that I'm thinking of letting go.  Nobody else around here seems interested in its proclivity to prognosticate.   



The answers of the orb include the following:
  • absolutely
  • answer unclear ask later
  • cannot foretell now
  • can't say now
  • chances aren't good
  • consult me later
  • don't bet on it
  • focus and ask again
  • indications say yes
  • looks like yes
  • no
  • no doubt about it
  • positively
  • prospect good
  • so it shall be
  • the stars say no
  • unlikely
  • very likely
  • yes
  • you can count on it

With 20 possible answers and after observing the top tip of one of the structures, I conclude that there are two pentagonal bipyramids floating around in there.

decluttering tape

Had a snafu with the deco tape, and then decided to just use up some of the other washi laying around.  The dried flower ones are probably supposed to be hanging upside down, but I think they look better right side up.
