Hahaha, wow.

The rain comes down in buckets and tubfuls here, thrown by a million bored godlings working on their baseball pitch. It bounces off a thousand metal roofs and makes a racket that fills the rest of the air and roars into every window.

I wonder if it'll rain tomorrow, when I actually have to be out? Good chance to try out my lovely boots.

Meanwhile, Accuweather.com's widget is consistently wrong. I need to find a better weather widget for this chunk of the planet.


*Whoa. Thunder cracks once and the temp drops ten degrees. That's bizarre.

**And now the sun's setting somewhere behind it all, and I can tell because the entire scenery is tinted a dusty red behind the omnipresent grey. Wow.

Fooding

Food is expensive, but life is okay anyway. Tofu-flavored candy is bizarre and weird. I have lots of snacks and lots of breakfast and lots of dinner, and just reserved next morning's rice so I can have more of same for all of the above. Stocked for weeks, I think, which is good because it means when I go out of the house now I shall have to find other things to do! Would have gone out earlier today and just looked around but maaaan, downpour.

I think I may be overfeeding myself. If this is even possible. Much better than starving, though, so will continue in this vein until the effects are actually felt.

Tofu candy is really bizarre and weird.

Also, the Japanese do not know about bacon. They slice ham into strips and call it bacon and just do not understand.

They do know about mushrooms, though, and how. I went to the store just for rice but there were discounts on lovely things like long thin mushrooms, and I've been increasing my veggies-and-minerals intake anyway so you know what the hey.

Also there are now acrylic paints. Need to pick: do I first paint up my house slippers, my bookshelves, my plastic shelves, or do I actually start a canvas?
