the life of carter

I had the pleasure of spending this past Friday with my favorite person, here's a few of the highlights :)

Got some coffee at Bastion in the morning. Somebody made some cute little snow ducks out front :)

Saw somebody down the street from there trying to ski, not quite snowy enough for that apparently.

Janani got me some very pretty flowers that I did up in my favorite teapot-turned-vase.

We went to The 1905 in the evening to see Chance Hayden and Shelly Rudolph. They put on a good show and we got to enjoy some tasty mozzarella sticks, gellato and cannoli. Needless to say, my stomach felt a little funny after that, but I'd say it was still worth it.

Had to make a stop at the aquarium bar after that to say hi to all the fishes.

This cute clownfish couple was having a nice Valentine's Day too.

Hi everyone!

This is my cat, his name’s Otearai. I found him yelling outside my apartment around Thanksgiving last year. Janani and I brought him inside right away because he looked sad, cold and lonely out there.

He had fleas when we first found him, so he had to be quarantined to the bathroom so as to not give fleas to Janani’s cats. Since he spent the first few weeks of his time with us in the bathroom, we named him Otearai, which is Japanese for washroom. We call him Oto for short though.

We tried to track down his owner, and found a lot of very similar looking cats, but no perfect matches. Turns out lynx point Siamese cats are a lot more common than we realized though.

He’s getting along with the other cats better all the time. He’s very lively and energetic, but can be sweet and cuddly too. Sometimes we take him in the backpack for some company on coffee runs. All the baristas at our neighborhood cafe love him. I’d say he’s pretty happy to have found a home here.
