During yesterday’s endoscopy, I stayed half-awake the time, maybe because the sedation was lighter than usual. I nearly laughed hearing the doctor say, “Alright, let’s do a biopsy♪,” while a nurse went, “Aw, the buttons on this shirt are cute” Maybe a shirt like this makes things easier in Japan.

I’m off for a routine check-up and gastroscopy today. Hoping there are no signs of anything returning.

I bought a new personal TV speaker for my partner, who can no longer hear from one ear due to sudden hearing loss. It’s even simpler than the Sony one, and the sound seems to fit much better. www.audio-technica-mimio.com/product/MIMI...

V (TV Series 1984–1985) Staring Marc Singer, Faye Grant and Michael Ironside.

🎬 The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018) 🇺🇸 #Movie This was my first time watching the series, including the original, and I really enjoyed the senseless, motiveless nature of the violence running through it. Hearing Kim Wilde and other 80s tracks from the opening onwards was a real treat as well.

#IsmuasMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 9. A synth-pop song from the 80s youtube.com/watch?v=MNeV...

Really looking forward to seeing you live at the event in Shinjuku, Tokyo next Thursday. @buzzkull.bsky.social
