The scent of tea clings to the air like old perfume. Tins and bins and jars of tea — black, green, oolong, chamomile, masala, earl grey, and several herbal and flowery infusions — litter the floor and shelves. And in between, stacked rather precariously are a great number of tea cups and teapots, some together in sets or purposely separated and others individual loners. And yet, somehow, despite the disorderly array of the room, there is not a chip or crack in any of the porcelain or glass.

A great feat, indeed, considering their owner pays no mind or attention to their upkeep, sleeping the better part of the afternoon away dead to the world in a rather dreamless slumber until the kettle begins its familiar tune.

It’s an odd, little thing. Dreadfully ugly, too. But with a slap at its metallic, beaver-tail-like flap, the electronic bottom turns off, and the kettle shuts up.

“Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle,” the sleeping beauty sings in a groggy groan.

With a lazy roll, she’s about to continue her afternoon nap on the sisal rug, but she bumps — or rather, slightly taps with her forehead —a haphazardly stacked pile of six golden-rimmed teacups. One of her favorite sets, and so when it begins to topple away from her, she has no choice but to sit up and set the pile straight again.

Crisis diverted, but now she’s wide awake. What fun.

I spent some time translating Maiko Fujita's new song :D

Honestly, I cried a bit listening to it T-T

Painting the roses red Even though they’re all dead Blood red and dead

Blood on the ground like threads Dripping from rolling heads Blood threads to tread

Oh, Alice, how mislead And your heart torn to shreds Misled and dead

I'm about to start a series of studying the Japanese spoken in The Makanai. I'm a bit late to the party, but I really enjoy the Makanai and have been rewatching it like crazy. Even though it's in Kyoto dialect, it really helped improve my Japanese comprehension.

Made a new blog post for learning Japanese because I can't figure out what I really want to blog about. I keep going to back to learning/improving my Japanese, story writing with elements of Japanese mythology, etc., so I'm hoping this blog will stick. Just started but will be glad if anyone can help support me!
