カーター・マッケンドリ (he/him) I enjoy that media you hate. Computer nerd. Japan dork. Horror geek. Comic book guy. Sci fi fanboy. Not necessarily in that order. Enthusiast, not connoisseur. https://ca.rter.io/

For neither the first nor last time, I got really excited for a half second before realizing it was vinyl

On that note, I also had some well-meaning teachers inflict some very real social damage by not thinking through the consequences of The Name Game

The Grandma's Garden EP is out next Friday, but in the meantime, @mattschley.com made this fantastic video for the song だから、さよなら. Really pleased with this one. Thanks to all who helped out with their time and good spirits (and shitty yet affordable spirits):

Jesus, I just remembered that the bar I was in at the time had a Forrest Gump poster on the wall, this may legitimately be the reference point he had in mind

He's extremely cool, but in a way that doesn't especially mesh with my self-image

Don't obsess over finding The Best™ version of whatever food you want, just find something that looks decent and go for it. The difference between 2-3 star chain ramen and 4 star bespoke ramen isn't going to be discernible until you've had chain ramen dozens on dozens of times. Same with sushi.

Last night a Japanese person said that I look like "young Gary Sinise" which, uhhh. One, I don't think that's accurate. Two, it's not immediately clear how flattering that would be if it were.

I'm sure you've heard this already, but compared to the US there's a lot of places, especially small restaurants, especially small GOOD restaurants, that don't deal with credit cards. Make sure you always have cash on you.

Since you're doing both, focus on getting ramen in Tokyo. There's nothing wrong with Osaka ramen but it'll be better to prioritize takoyaki and okonomiyaki while you're there, since that's what it's famous for. In Tokyo my favorite ramen is "Hakata Furyu" which has a few locations around the city
