Cute as he may be, the little chicken mascot on my Nissin ramen package seems to be making dastardly work of his unborn little brother. He does look pretty happy about the whole business. Perhaps he’s relieved that he won’t have to vie for mommy’s attention.

Unrelatedly, it snowed today! I haven’t been sprinkled with those falling flakes in a mighty long time. Alas it’s unlikely that I’ll be dreaming of a white Tokyo. It didn’t really stick.
