This afternoon, I watched Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. What an odd movie! Watching the 1960 film in 2022 added another disorienting dimension for me and I couldn’t tell which parts were truly indicative of the times, and which were more fantastical versions. I suppose that added to the charm and mystery.

My favorite part of the film was when Marcello’s father came to visit. He seemed like the character who was most grounded in real life, which is probably why I enjoyed his scenes.

Overall, I am happy I watched to have finally watched this cinematic masterpiece, but I felt like I was watching from a great distance, both culturally and artistically.

Cat-Shaped Dishes

Mariko bought some cat-shaped dishes for us to use! Aren’t they cute? I really like the spotted blue kitty.

In other breaking news, tax day is coming up here in the States. I started today, and will finish them tomorrow. It’s not too difficult to do, and we are expecting a little bit of a refund this year. Yay!

I hope you had a nice day! またね〜
