Sports for the bedridden and vaccuum cleaners for the weak
Pilates kicked my ass. Every part of my body hurts, even my forearms. And I have a rotator cuff injury.
God, you'd think I was doing something really dangerous and strenuous, like I don't know -- any of those sports I would never do. Pilates seems so harmless. You lie there on a mat and you roll your legs around in the air. It was invented for people who were injured and bedridden. But damn, it works I guess.
In other news, Japanese appliances are taking over my kitchen. I went to Mitsuwa yesterday to buy sashimi and spinach and rice wine vinegar for dinner, and while I was there I stopped off at an adjacent store called TRENDY! It's full of kitchen appliances, dishes, that kind of thing -- all Japanese. I noticed that 2 of the kitchen appliances they had are already in my kitchen. The Sanyo Little Toasty (a double-decker toaster oven) and the top-of-the-line Zojirushi rice cooker.
I also noticed at least 3 other appliances I want to procure. Including a large thermos thing to keep my coffee hot in the morning, and also a hot water thing that lets you have hot water all day long. Oh, and they had a cute, dainty little vaccuum cleaner -- something I can handle. I hate the American vaccuum cleaners that are so bloated and bulky and enormous that, in order to use them, you have to be shaped like an American Gladiator with super-human upper body strength. I want my dainty little Japanese vaccuum cleaner, made for dainty little Japanese ladies with virtually no upper-body strength.
