I honestly didn’t expect this photo to capture the moment so startlingly well. Lucky, because I’m sure there’s a Japanese word for what I’m feeling right now, just a couple days from completing this monumental undertaking, but I don’t know Japanese.

No, it’s not “drunk”. I’ve had that bottle for weeks. But “intoxicated” isn’t entirely off the mark.
