In Wine there is Truthm

On the weekend Chris and I didn't feel up to hitting the basketball courts, but we decided to hit the mall in search for a couple of items that we needed to buy. We went to faithful Ichino Jusco and enjoyed some garlic laden food at the niniku restaurant. Afterwards we wondered into the Jusco store and found a treasure trove of t-shirt with bad English on them. I am sure that by now you have encountered the odd signs and the shirts that we often see here in Japan. Well this was a bargain bin full of bad English. The shirt that produced the words of wisdom I used in the title is just mind boggling. Did the graphic artist just make a typo- and was too lazy to spell check it? To ensure that I wasn't making an ass out of myself I checked around the net at the ingredients of wine and sure enough there is no truthm in wine!
This one is almost poetic in it's nonsensical babble. Makes me want to Health life start!

The other day we left a Styrofoam packing from some sort of meat sitting on the counter, and a boiled egg. Enter those evil cats-
I love the cats to death- but sometimes they drive me nuts! Now that they had a taste of eggs, they love it, Ritsy was peeling an egg last night and both cats came running. Luckily Sheriff Todd was in town!
1 week from today will be my birthday- 35 this year! One thing I am noticing now is how many other Leos there are around! I guess November is a popular time for reproducing... Well any Leos out there reading this- Happy birthday!

Sunday Shopping

They went that away

Shopping for Windows: On Sunday after shaking the cobwebs from my head from a few beers on Saturday, Ritsy and I took a tour around Hamamatsu looking at various shops. As I mentioned now that I am entering(about half way through term towards) fatherhood, I want to get a handle on the costs that we will be facing next year. So went around and checked out a few second hand shops and saw that we could save some cash by buying some second hand goods without sacrificing quality. Even some of the stuff we saw wasn't really used, it was just being cleared from store stock. The road is getting brighter too! Chris offered to put up a notice for his students canvassing them for any baby stuff they might want to get rid of- a truly kind and greatly appreciated offer! Also today one of my students, Koji-san said that one of his wife's friends had a baby bed they only used a few times they want to get rid of- so we might have a free bed! People's thoughtfulness and generosity never cease to astound me!
Just For Fun: Those of you that, like I, grew up on Star Wars and remember it (at least the first 3) fondly- You can get the humour of Family Guy and this special from Seth 'Scott Evil' Green's show Robot Chicken - all Star Wars fun! HERE!
