* The Tea Lies teas + paper horses only went out in the mail today, because I am terrible. Sorry! I included some extra stuff in there, as I presently have way too many tea sample packets lying around.
* I was translating Kazuya Minekura's blog posts for a while. People who were reading those will remember that she has an assistant blog-named Ringo, who is some kind of evil cake wizard who makes evil cakes.
Well, Ringo was at her dark work again for Christmas. Minekura's big text when the cake is unveiled says "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS."
It's a reindeer and Santa. It's not actually intended to be a Don't Hug Me I'm Scared cake.
And I missed a Ringo doom-cake for Minekura's birthday last April, too! Man, I had one job. That one's supposed to be Minekura's dachshund Kurosawa. I'm sure you'll work this out just looking at the post, but "あ" is how you write "a". Other useful Japanese vocabulary you will learn from this cake: "nori," "edamame," and "Black Mass."
I'm growing concerned that Ringo might secretly be Ukoku.
I do not foresee having the energy/visual focus necessary to actually translate these posts soon, so I would urge someone else to do so? They're probably somehow important to like. Future plot events in Saiyuki.
