My absolute favorite Poinsettia this year, a new variety called "Red Ribbons". It looks like burgundy snowflakes against black-green foliage. (It is a deeper burgundy than my phone's camera makes it seem)

My wife and I were a bit too excited to get Derpy delivered a month earlier than expected.

Missi looking a bit risqué post-surgery. But is snug and warm on my lap.

Our Funko K-Pop Demon Hunters' Derpy arrived a month earlier than expected! And its eyes glow in the dark!

Side by side comparison of an ocelot to Missi. Actually, I can see the resemblance.

Tonight we decided that our lovingly murderous kitten is part ocelot. -this is of course not true at all, as ocelots range doesn't include the wilds of southwestern Wisconsin where she was found. But it does appeal to our wildchild to think she has such a distinguished pedigree.

After seeing them in anime after anime, I finally looked up Japanese omletes, Omurice. And was surprised that there is more to them than just ketchup on top. The inside is full of pan-fried chicken rice and ketchup. It does sound pretty delicious and filling.

Tojima Wants To Be A Kamen Rider is a fun watch so far. Great childhood nostalgia means mid-life wish fulfillment anime.
