Here are a few animal friends I made on the way to work this week. I don't like leaving the house, but this makes it worthwhile. #animal #bird #goose #racoon #owl

Leave me alone, I need my 18 hours of sleep a day! #guineapig #kavee #モラモシト

Just hit three months of learning Japanese with a combo of Duolingo, Genki, and a Kanji app. I know about 950 words, and 100+ Kanji. I wonder how much I can learn in the next six months before we go to Japan. #japanese #learningjapanese #languagelearning

I got a couple of crappy phone shots of these male goldfinches on our balcony. The other birds that visit are OK with my presence, but if the goldfinches even see me move in the living room, they freak out and leave immediately. #goldfinch #songbird #birdwatching

I've reached the point in learning Japanese where you actually like learning new Kanji, because reading long sentences made of just Hirigana is a pain in the ass, as it's hard to tell where one word ends and the other starts. I finally get it! #Japanese #nihongo #language #kanji #hirigana

We just paid $1000 extra to change our Japan Airline tickets to have a layover in Vancouver, BC, instead of Seattle. We don't want to risk them going through our phones and barring entry based on our political views. That country is cooked. #japan

Crappy phone shot, but the male goldfinches seem to be getting their spring feathers in. They have a lot more yellow, with black stripes popping out! #goldfinch #finch #songbird

Honestly, though, how is he so handsome? #guineapig #kavee #モラモシト

I wish I could sleep as soundly as my guineapigs. Instead, I'm up every hour from anxiety dreams, then need to pee before I go back to sleep. To be fair, they just pee and poop while they lie down. I don't think my girlfriend would like that. #guineapig #kavee #モラモシト

Oh boy, I reached the diamond league on #Duolingo after two months and people in here are a different breed. I thought I spent a lot of time learning, but the top 3 have 35K xp this week alone. I guess they're just gamifying the hell out if it... or running an AI to farm xp.

I was out for a run around a local lake this week, when I saw a rustling in the bushes next to me, then a hawk flew out in front of me with a snake in its talons. It must have missed me by about a foot! #bird #hawk

These cute little pine siskins started showing up at my feeder, now the weather is warming up a bit. I can't say I've noticed them before. They look halfway between a house finch and a goldfinch. Crappy phone pictures, because I couldn't be bothered to grab the good camera. #bird #finch #pinesiskin

I walked into the new Japanese hobby shop in town and walked out with these two model kits of Thousand Sunny from 'One Piece' and the Tiger Moth from 'Castle in the Sky'. New hobby unlocked! #onepiece #studioghibli #castleinthesky #modelkit #manga #japanese

I just looked over at one of our guinea pigs in their pen next to my work desk, and was thinking how cute he was, then he turned around and started munching on poop fresh out of his butt. #guineapig ##kavee #モラモシト

I'm looking stuff up for a #japan trip later in the year. I always have a little jump scare when I see a swastika come up on the map, before realizing it indicates a Buddhist temple. 笑

How does he get so much lettuce juice all over his fur? #guieapig #kavee #モラモシト

I caught a decent shot of these hungry goldfinches feeding on our balcony. I had to set the camera up outside and use the Fuji X remote app, which breaks connection all the time, but I finally managed to get it to actually work. #birds #goldfinch #fujifilm #xs20

My daffodil bulbs from last year decided to bloom at the start of February, right when subzero temperatures started here in British Columbia. Perfect timing! I've had to bring them inside to save them. #Flowers #daffodils

We decided to ditch our trip back to the UK and go back to Japan for three weeks later in the year. We are already excitedly planning an itinerary. #japan

Noodle is the OG naughty boy. The first time I picked him up at the SPCA, he was trying to jump off my shoulder. I love him with all of my heart though. #guineapig #kavee

Goldfinches taking shelter from the weather. We had a good 60+ the other day, but they get easily spooked and it's hard to get a photo. #bird #goldfinch #finch

I've been learning Japanese on Duolingo for one month and have learned all of Hirigana and Katakana, plus their dukuon, 40 kanji, and 200 words. Pretty decent start, not helped by the glitchy app and its awful AI voices that mispronounce things. #japanese #duolingo

These Frozen Taiyaki were surprisingly good, and scratched and itch. I often find a surprising connection between Japanese and British food. They do it better, though. #japan #taitaki

Weekly weigh in time for this chonker. He's always been about 40g bigger than his brother. He's just big boned! #guineapig
