Ladies Day

Most movie theaters have "ladies day" on Wednesdays. With 500 yen discount, tickets are only 1000yen for the ladies~

Yesterday went to see a movie with Latte... sorta

Sumo Sumo Sumo!

Checked out the May Sumo Grand Tournament today! Oh the intensity. After wards, Chashu suggested that we ate "Chanko" nabe for the complete sumo experience. Chanko nabe is supposed to be the official "Sumo food" - a hearty hotpot meal filled with protein to raise strong large wrestlers...

... or so they say

Staying in with Matchan

One moment it's hot, the next it's back pouring. Tokyo's sad and gloomy when it rains, I absolutely hate it. But hey, on the bright side I'm staying in and spending more quality time with my Matchan.

Wii Fit vs DDR

I've been wanting a WiiFit since forever. Not only would it help my lazy butt get some exercise (and hopefully in better shape), it's also really fun.

BUT - I'll never be able to afford one. First I would need to purchase the actual Wii console, then the balance board, the game itself, and now Wiifit plus to complete the experience. The official Nintendo Yoga Mat and the matching water bottle would be nice too.

Anyways. My old DDR for PS2 would do for now. That is - if Matchan (and my neighbors) would even let me play it.

Meet Chashu

Chashu complained that I tend to pick on Japanese men
a lot - especially things concerning their feminine tendencies. He claimed that he'll show all of us what real [ramen-eating, gatsby-enhanced] men are made of....

...or maybe not

For more character information on Chashu (Matchan and Latte as well!), check out "Side Dishes" under "Menu"

So while the three of us - Kimchi, Latte, and Chashu - were just chilling at Latte's apartment, an unexpected guest showed up. Matchan - save us!

Still cold in Tokyo...

It was supposed to be nice and warm in Tokyo many weeks ago. Recently it's been series of cloudy, rainy, and chilly days.

I'm beginning to sort through my pile of winter clothes for something warmer - like my 大事大事 Heattech tees from Uniqlo. These babies really keep me warm.

Golden Week

Yay to a week long national holiday!

Time to get more ZzZ in the system....

...and more Main Courses to be served!

Main Courses

Main Courses are now being served!

Found under "Menu", "Main Course" is essentially the Archives to all the Kimchi+Rice skits posted.

I'm also going to re-post all the older Main Courses below:
