JoNo/ Pina vet visit/ RooG hates Tapout
Just got done watching the premiere of the new anime series Jojo no Kimyouna Bouken/ Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. RooG is a huge, longtime fan of the manga and so I was really curious to watch this new anime adaptation.
Well. I hated every second of the premiere, and now I can tell RooG's disappointed in me for hating it. Ugh. Fuck you, Jojo!!
We took Pina to the vet today. This place is the only one that I could find that has an avian vet, so we went there, but sadly it's just the same as any other Japanese medical establishment. You can't make an appointment, so you have to wait forever for your turn (90+ minutes, in our case), and when you finally see the doctor he talks really fast and rushes you through the whole thing. Then you wait again to pay and then you're done. Two hours spent there, only about ten minutes of which were with the doctor. -_- Japan is so efficient and convenient, except when it's not.
The good news is that Pina is apparently healthy, but very underweight. The pet store fed him shitty seed food and unfortunately he's still not used to eating the healthy Harrison's pellets we give TekiNacho, but they gave us some other weird food that will supposedly ease the transition if we sprinkle it over the Harrison's pellets. If not, we'll just buy the Bird Bread. That's how we were able to wean TekiNacho off their shitty pet store diets and on to the good stuff.
As for Pina's leg, the vet confirmed my suspicion that not one but unfortunately BOTH of Pina's legs are messed up. :/ He can move three out of four toes on the left leg, but only one or two on the right. He says he's not sure if it's the result of a birth defect or an injury, and he's also not sure if it'll get better on its own or not. Hmph.
In other news, RooG tried the Cross Core Combat video of the Tapout XT workout series, and gave up after fifteen minutes. He says he hates the instructor's voice, and the movements were too complicated and too fast and no fun. Also, you need a lot of space for that workout, which ain't really happening in our tiny Japanese living room.
So I guess there'll be no more Tapout in RooG's future. He did the Insanity Cardio Abs video for today's workout instead. I think I'll give Tapout a try just the same, though...... once my ankle heals. I miss Insanity. ;_;
