Weeknotes: Veteran Of The Psychic Wars — Week 28, 2026

  • This was a good week for eating Okinawan food and for achieving several huge paperwork wins. I’ve unlocked a whole new world of being fiscally responsible.
  • Received a few nice voice notes via my sister who bumped into my high-school maths teacher. “Maths is a game and we invent the rules”. Words to live by!
  • Marked this year’s tanabata in a symmetrical way, but this time instead of searching for a tree, I shared fish & chips and haggis in Osaki and reflected on everything that happened since this time last year. In some ways I don’t recognise myself, in a good way.
  • Separately, there’s something rather poetic about seeing dishes of the UK’s north and south on one plate.
  • What if Yotsu crew, but does darts? Anyway I’m still quite bad at darts.
  • Converted an old e-reader into a TRMNL and now (thanks to the magic of command strips) my digital signage dreams are realised. My todo list, calendar and even some headlines are now displaying on my wall. I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me.
  • Due to a lack of tooling, this involved learning how MTP works and learning about stuff like this is always quite refreshing.
  • Over a selection of fine whiskies (but no Lagavulin!) caught up with the one and only E in Ebisu. Our journey took us all over looking for a place that wasn’t booked, but it was worth it for the terrace.
  • When I moved here, I joked that correcting my name was to become one of my principal hobbies. Reader, this was foreshadowing.
  • The bringer of life, the gift of the goddess.
