Nosey little thing.

Cutie pie, bringer of chaos. A great many of the plants you see in these images will be gone shortly, for the protection of one who puts *everything* in her mouth.

R. I. P. backyard garden.

The Jo has landed!

Taking in her big back yard.

First day in a new home calls for a nap. This dog — who has become known as momdog — had a “heartbeat.” Josie had 6 siblings — sleeping alone must have been scary.

She found it comforting and it was SO CUTE! This phase would not last long, but it was adorbs while it lasted.

I can’t get enough of Mitsuwa…

…as anyone who has seen enough of my photo journals already knows. But when we got a call that we were going to get the new doggo a week ahead of schedule, we frantically started eating at our favorite places knowing we wouldn’t be able to do that together for awhile.

My favorite brand of tea. Accept no less than Tea Meister LEGEND! (It’s the cheapest…)

Mystery pastry box! Not the best, but not the worst either.

It’s like “Where’s Waldo?” except it’s find K!

Seriously, I could eat one of these every day.

Pork katsu. Seriously, the amount of meat used to take up most of its half of the plate, so that’s sad, but occasionally, I’ve got to have it.

See you soon, Mi-Tan!

February starts with a movie review…The New World (2005)

The visuals are great, but holy crap, what a mess this is. There’s a beautiful closing sequence, but the movie is s..o v…e…r…y s…..l…..o…..w you have to ask yourself is it worth aging 25 years in the time it takes to get there. Most emphatically not. So here it is:

Oh, by the way, this is supposed to be the story of Pocahontas, which should have made for a great movie because her short life was incredibly interesting. What a maddening, missed opportunity.
