daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
Yuzu has really been enjoying taking her naps in the shrine lately. It’s been a month or so since I last saw her in there, so seeing her back in that spot the past few days was quite a surprise! 😴⛩️
I haven’t been enjoying Inktober as much as I hoped. Trying to figure out what to draw for daily prompts seems to kill my momentum, which is already hard to come by. Turns out I much prefer drawing whatever I feel like rather than following a prescribed prompt. Oh well, at least I gave it a good try! ✏️📖
Tonight I went to see Tenzing, which tells the story of the first successful Mt. Everest summit through the eyes of Tenzing Norgay rather than Edmund Hillary. I really loved it! Even though we already know how the expedition ends, seeing Norgay’s childhood and early life prior to the summit attempt was fascinating. The visuals in the film are amazing, and it pulls on your heartstrings a few times, too. Highly recommended! 🎥✨
Spaghetti and meatballs has to be in the top 10 of comfort foods, right? 🍝😋
Lately I’ve been adding more color to my Hobonichi journal with colored watercolor pencils, which made me realize I should bring out my regular watercolors as well. It’s so great how remarkably well the Tomoe River paper handles watercolor paint. 🖌️✨
Yuzu has had a favorite box she likes to curl up in for a while now, but Anko hasn’t had one of her own. She tried this one out for a bit, but I think it was still a little too small. We’ll find one someday! 🐱📦
We had a delicious lunch at the Korean BBQ spot near our house today. The food was really good, and we ended up ordering way too much – as per usual! – but the leftovers will definitely be yummy. Since I wasn’t driving, I had half a bottle of soju, which turned out to be super potent. Thankfully we were able to bring the rest of the bottle home to finish up later. 🥢😋
