We went shopping together (Hiroki & I) and he decided that he absolutely needed these overalls and even agreed to go into the change room to try them on! I was shocked!

download this
With this, we can talk for free, using the computer. (It'll work for me once I get a mic!) I'd love to be able to talk to you -free!
In other news, I have joined the whole rest of the world and gotten myself a cell phone. It's one of those jobbies with a camera included, so of course I have already taken a bunch of pix of Hiroki. I was unhappy to see that it won't send pix to this blog, though. :(
It was free, so the price was right. I'll be able to mail on it-Atsunobu's mom can mail me at school if Hiroki gets sick or something. I can mail in English and Japanese. Cool.
We had a nasty typhoon here last Thursday. It was a slow moving one, so it took hours to go thru here. It was pissing down when I had to go to work in the morning, around 9:30, and the eye of the storm hit at around 9:00pm. With the heavy rain all day, the river in front of the house flooded up on to the street and even came up our hill about halfway. Scary shit.
Today we took Hiroki's cousin to a pool about an hour's drive from here. It's Sunday, so I knew it would be crowded, but holy crap! The parking lot was full and we ended up having to park in a different lot (along with everyone else!) I think it took us about 20 min to walk to the pool. When we got there, we got into the pool along with probably hundreds of people. It only costs about 5 bucks to get in (adults), and it had water slides , a kids pool, a tiny wave pool, and a pool that went all the way around all of the other pools. Kind of like a walking pool? I got hit I don't know how many times. It was amazing to me that that many people were allowed to be in there at the same time. And then there were these breaks that we had to take. All of the lifeguards announced that it was time to get out of the pool and take a 10 min break. Then announcement came over the loudspeaker, telling us to take enough care with our bodies and to rest. Uh-huh.
Anyway, we had a good time. Just bought a bathing suit last week (big enough to cover my fat ass- it's 4 pieces!) I'm going to try and sign Hiroki up for a Moms and Tots class in the fall. :)
Will post pix once I've downloaded them!

weather cock
was the T-shirt I saw yesterday. No pix. :) Different.
Okay, I have figured out a little more about flickr. If I actually take the time to resize the photos I upload I can put so many more pix on it. I am so stupid sometimes. Hopefully that means more pix here, too.
It's so hot here. I took 3 showers yeasterday and could have easily taken 3 more. I'm sure Atsunobu's mom is surprised that I don't always turn on the hot water heater when I shgower, sometimes leading to pretty cool showers. I think it's more refreshing that way, tho.
Hope everyone's healthy!

potatopancakes
This was lunch/dinner a while back (can't remember which). I made potato pancakes and the pink and green stuff is called konnyaku, made from some type of root plant. It's supposed to fill you up but has no calories.
maitake
Does anyone know what these mushrooms are called in English? I love them and could eat them everyday (I know, weird coming from me.)
