Kick the TWICE Can Down the Road

With my computer and photography budgets for 2025 getting blown out of the water, I’ve looked to cut back in other areas. I had originally planned to use my Electrify America credits (like 700 free kWh remaining) before they expire in August to take a road trip to SF – but I killed that idea.

One big unknown in the 2025 budget was what I might end up spending if TWICE went on tour this year. My budget let out a sigh of relief when the group recently announced the schedule for their THIS IS FOR World Tour, Part 1. Part 1 allocates the last half of 2025 for stops across Asia and Australia. This means that Part 2, for the Americas and Europe, won’t be until 2026. I kind of expected this as major U.S. stadiums are dedicated to American football in the fall and winter. For 2026, I’ll budget for one or two visits to concert cities in the U.S.

DHL today delivered the package from CDJapan on the actual release date of the MISAMO Japan Dome Tour 2024 “Haute Couture” Blu-ray box set. The box set came with a 40-page color photo booklet and 12 photo trading cards (3 Mina, 3 Sana, 3 Momo, 3 group). I guess I know what I’ll be watching in bed tonight.

1/8 scale figurine by Kotobukiya

Yesterday my Coco Figurine from Witch Hat Atelier arrived from CDJapan. I’m glad Kotobukiya issued a re-release of this sculpture as I had missed it the first time around. The sculpture is about 8.5" tall and is nicely detailed. I’m pretty happy to have this in my collection.

Overall things

I haven't been soloing much, which was 90% of what I've been blogging here, so the place went quiet for a bit. Rambling undercut!

Also. Dreamwidth seens to sundelly not want to read the Iceland font I had chosen for my page and had no luck fixing it. I miss my obnoxious font.

Tsundoku May

Tsundoku Stack, May 31, 2025
Tsundoku Stack, May 31, 2025

As I promised in April, I focused on working through the manga in the tsundoku stack, even as I added six and then four and then one (Frieren, vol 13) more manga volumes. I’m happy to say that by the end of the day yesterday, I had finished all the outstanding manga. By total height, that amounts to about half the tsundoku stack.

A Mini Adventure

Sadly, MudPuddles Toys & Books is closing its store in NW Portland on July 20. A liquidation sale will begin on June 13. MudPuddles years ago had taken over the store that used to be Child’s Play – a favorite store of mine (outside of Finnigan’s).

Child’s Play was important as that was where I bought Mr. Bear in April 2008. Mr. Bear is still keeping me company every night, even after 17 years. He’s a little bit ragged but has held up amazingly well. Still, no stuffed animal lasts forever, especially one that gets hugged to death every night.

So I thought I should make a trip to MudPuddles before they close. I had not been there in many years. I planned a special trip into Portland – and followed my plan yesterday (Tuesday) – a sunny day.
