Possible plan for the weekend: I may be going to Nara. Might be a bit cold for deer watching, but at least I can go to a shrine.

First new capsule toy found, and it's a gold muscle kiwi. Presented entirely without context of course. Swole gold kiwi? Kinnikukiwi? Anyway, he's going in my booth when I get around to redoing it!

Japanese sweets/candy! By the looks of the artwork, might be sour.

2/2 If someone is only present when it profits them, that’s not friendship it’s a contract. And the best friendships? They’re built on trust, consistency, and choosing each other even when there’s nothing to gain. Friends aren’t resources. They’re people. Treat them that way. 💛 #friendship

1/2 #Friends are not transactions. They’re not favors traded, points tallied, or support given with an expectation of return. Real friendship isn’t “I helped you, so you owe me.” It’s “I showed up because I care.” No scorekeeping. No leverage. No expiration date when benefits run out.

You know you're on holiday in Japan when you get stupidly lost or get the wrong train. I did both today... Still, first station stamp!

I've seen some cool/crazy architecture over the years, but I think I have a new favourite. This was not far from Kansai Airport. Not my photo.

Good morning, Osaka!

Finally in Osaka, and I'm tired. Getting some sleep.

Currently airline at Gatwick Airport. Cleared check-in and security in probably my record time so far. The adventure (and jetlag) begins!

1/2 I really hope someone ends up saving the day 🩷 @endercatagz.bsky.social and I have worked so hard to bring this crazy concept to life, especially our characters and Lueis in particular. We created him together, and at this point he’s truly our baby. #Maverick #voiceactor #voiceactress

If in doubt, pinkie out...

Checked in. Time for a Bru! Irn-Blu, that is...

See you in 3 weeks, Cardiff!

One last go around Cardiff Castle before the trip. If you thought these were creepy in daylight, try these at night...

One more sleep. Online check-ins ahoy!

From now until the bus to the airport... Osaka beckons.

Happy New Year from the UK!

Finishing the year by watching Naked Gun 2½!

Not another one... www.flickeringmyth.com/trailer-for-...

Looks like the goat got windsheared!

Goat down! I repeat: Goat down! www.dn.se/sverige/stor...

The drink's gone to my head!

The week between Christmas and New Year. The Twilight Zone, the annual Bermuda Triangle... "WHAT DAY IS IT!?"

900 followers! Woo! I must be doing something right! Thank you everyone!

Crazy socks time!

A little Christmas message from Azure! Spike has a few questions to answer when he sobers up... Friends in the City is available on YouTube! youtu.be/CDnpgXydRfE?...

1/2 Merry #Christmas to anyone who sees this, and if you don’t celebrate, happy holidays to you as well! #HolidaySeason

Merry Christmas!

Watching the Goat! The Gävle Goat, that is. Merry Christmas! www.youtube.com/live/IhU2MIU...

Oh God, this was beautifully dumb! "Who’s there?" "Well it ain't f***in' Frosty!" (Jack Frost)

I survived Whamageddon! Merry Christmas, everybody!

Jack Frost (the slasher film) is freaking hysterical! The axe handle kill is probably the best one in here so far.

Okay... Island Of Shadows is now complete - storywise only. It's on triority.itch.io/island-of-sh... and will be finished after I've released NightFall and DayRise #islandofshadows #visualnovel #thriller #talentlessnana

James Baxter’s 2D animation in ‘The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball’ new episode.

I'm holding off writing my 2025 summary, as we still have at least a week left, and I have a feeling anything could happen. I'd rather not have to add stuff after everything has been done!

The first two Die Hard films were on the other night, so I guess I can crack this out again! youtu.be/kA5x65aydhc?...

Role announcement! Epic Grail, the 3rd episode of Friends In The City, by Jensen Taye, is now up! As always, I'm voicing Azure! There are a couple of naughty words in here this time! youtu.be/_Wf8lpbituU?...
