The vehicular swag of Katsunuma is at levels heretofore unknown #勝沼町

Ahahaha They know me so good

Eyyyyyy Just learned I’ve been accepted to present at the big IBA conference. Stoked to meet all the #bear nerds!

Submitted to committee Defense in 90 days Y’all be ready

Hired for a part time gig at some Japanese magazine. Monumental Harmonica or something along those lines.

Solid amounts of fun to be had with #RiseOfTheRonin

That this email was necessary makes me extraordinarily enthusiastic to go to this conference. Gonna be lit

I’m not above a bit of theatrics

The clerk at Kuroneko was shooketh

Helluva day #行田市

Doctoral defense in 44 days. Perfect amount of time to go on a real bicep bender, make ‘em pop for the committee. It’s like Barthes said: “If you want to make your arguments stick, your pythons better be sick.”

Goodness gracious. At least a foot long

標茶町博物館に企画展「OSO18としべちゃ」を見に。 犬歯がOSOが存在したわずかな証拠。配布資料がありがたい。 企画展は9月8日まで。 常設展も見てきたのですが、「十勝もよろ式土器」という名にビックリ！ 昔は広尾町あたりが茂寄村と呼ばれていたんですね。 続縄文から擦文への移行期の土器らしい。

博士号ゲット

Scholars of the Ainu know Bronislaw Pilsudski for his ethnographic and linguistic work. But prior to his Sakhalin exile his area of expertise was Lithuanian roadside crosses. A lad of many interests.

First bear in years to remain in Lithuania for hibernation!!

Just lovely

A spicy take

Neato! Must be a dang grant writing savant to have gotten funding for this.
