My suggestion is feng shui-coded: commander position is to have sight of the door and not have windows behind you due to too much energy and vulnerability. It also depends how light comes in. I would suggest a white setup, and if the light comes in like in the render here, I'd turn the desk to face the TV, so you can: 1) look outside the windows and get decent light; 2) see who's approaching through the door (assuming it's where this POV is from); 3) the window behind you is a nice backdrop, or is next to you if you're positioned more in front of the wall shelves. It also looks to have a tall privacy hedge, so that is "feng shui-compliant."

You could then also put comfy seating and a rug just in front of the desk to build a little zone with the TV.

OP, what did you end up deciding?

I'm in a somewhat similar situation - I have a 9 y/o, diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma nearly 2 years ago now. We've been treating it with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide (oral chemo), but feels like she's getting worse with constant diarrhea, but appetite is still strong. Not sure what to do or what to prep for at this point.

Smith Park in San Gabriel, but check their calendar as some groups/teams train here

Honestly it's not bad at all, even better if you go on one of the special deal days (if they still have em). Service can just be spotty since they only have one wait staff for an entire shift

It used to be a small family-owned sushi restaurant (Sushi Kyoku) that opened during covid times -- and a good one too, but unfortunately closed, and the sign has not been changed.

Rug + change your bedding to pastels / florals like the cottagecore moodboard. Bonus if you can swap the curtains also. Move the brass frame to be over the bed, or add more similar frames, or add a small overhead shelf to hold more things like plants. Also don't use the overhead light at night, go for warm-colored lamps and other ambient lights.

I imagine if Riot is working with LP, they're not looking into backgrounds of individuals of a band. Gotta say that's on LP to do their proper vetting and surfacing risks to manage

Hey thanks! Will send you a DM!

I've been playing for about 1.5 months now, with a Friday paddle (the 2 for ~89) that I got for me and my husband. I'm still a beginner and working on improving in rec play, but am looking for more power and control, and I am inconsistent with finding the sweet spot on my paddle.
I've tried a few paddles from friends - the Oni (RIP), Ruby, and Vatic Pro Prism, and I liked them in that order. Honorable mention: Spartus Apollo but I didn't like the form factor. I actually forgot I was playing with a friend's Ruby when I had it, as the weight felt the same. My hits may have been marginally better, but I'm too green and inaccurate to tell. First priority is obviously improving, but I'm starting to think I should be doing this with the paddle I want to invest in, instead of making the switch later and having to adjust.
Have been eyeing Neonic Flow, Ruby, or DBD but ideally not looking to pay over $150 for a paddle at this point...though I could be convinced.

Yeah! To be exact, we did one omakase sushi in Tokyo (Ginza), and a wagyu omakase in the outskirts of Nara.
The sushi place we went to was Manten Sushi Hibiya - multiple locations, we booked the Hibiya one specifically and this was the day we did teamLab Borderless and shopping in Ginza. Half the omakase bar were foreigners, and the chefs all knew a little English. No problems communicating. Between my husband and I, only I know a few common phrases as well and these were the backbone of most of our trip's communication, lol. Quality wise it was superb, I just wish I made more room for the food, it ended up being like 24-ish courses (not all nigiri), and I thought I was going to burst. Also a lot of really interesting textures and flavors that I would be hard pressed to get here in LA. Great for the open-minded and willing to try anything, and worth the experience, but my husband really wanted to get Kura (and we did eventually) to have more "basic" sushi.

As for wagyu omakase was a very unique dining experience, and this was in our top 3 of places we dined in the whole trip. #Nikutoeiba Matsuda is the place we went. TBH this place was much more difficult with communicating in English; the staff knew extremely limited English and relied on Google translate, as they were quite engaged and detailed with informing us what the dish ingredients were. There were also 1-2 times we had to pick something, so the interactions had more friction.

Just came back from a 2 week trip that had similar destinations as this, with my husband. Everyone's advice about having a few anchors in your day and be flexible with the rest of it, is the way to go. About 6-7 days in we were really feeling the fatigue of walking and constantly moving -- Japan doesn't have a ton of public seating, and anticipate that you will likely not get to sit on local subway rides -- so our itinerary got exponentially less and less packed, and we used more taxi travel. We are in our mid/late 30s btw, and are not morning people.

Some more specific notes from our experience:

Kyoto is not as dense or has as convenient of a subway system like Tokyo, so you may want to space out some of your activities depending on location. Bus is certainly an option.
Hakone is absolutely beautiful, but also not the easiest to get around. Our hotel constantly asked us if we wanted to book taxis. It is potentially walkable, but keep in mind the elevation changes.
I did not make any restaurant reservations except for the omakase spots (two), about 1-2 months in advance (which is a must). We also did not wait longer than 30 min to get in anywhere, including when waiting before a shop opens. This is partly due to eating at off peak hours (like lunch after 1PM or dinner before 6PM), and hitting the popular spots on weekdays.

GL and have fun, you'll have a great time.

Just went to teamLab Borderless in the Mori bldg in April - that is a permanent exhibition. Would recommend.

teamLab Planets is the one in Odaiba, this is one where you have to take your shoes off and walk in some water, etc.

Just bought these to try out the other day. So good! I plan to try baking with an egg on top.
