Let's Pray for Japan


Typhoon Hagibis is due to make landfall on the main island of Honshu today. But, according to my friend who lives in Tokyo, there's no sense of panic in the Japanese capital. 

Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) forecaster Yasushi Kajiwara said at a press briefing that areas from the west to the northeast of Japan would experience "brutal winds and violent seas." More than 1,000 flights have been canceled. The qualifying round for the Japanese Grand Prix has been postponed. The Rugby World Cup has rescheduled two matches. This could be the strongest storm to hit Tokyo in decades.

Let's pray for everyone's safety.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
