More informative randomness

Okay everyone, let’s take a moment to appreciate some of the events of yesterday!
First of all I got to play with Aibo, super intelligent Sony robot dog (cute too). He was roaming the floor of a Sony Lifestyle store the other day in Tokyo. He has sensors everywhere and acts just like a puppy! I’m guessing Sony realized that if they made an Aibo cat it would, obviously, be too smart and take over the world or something. Then they’d make a movie ‘I Catbot’ et cetera et cetera.
My second monumental event yesterday occurred at a pet store in the rodent and giant disgusting bug aisle. They had a prairie dog! It was the cutest little thing and it had a little pudgy tummy. He was very intent on escape. As were the aforementioned… insects. They’re really popular here with little kids. They even have a Pokemon-like game called ‘Mushi Kingu’ (bug king). And I’ll have to run away if it catches on like Pokemon did in the states.And last and most specialist of all! I saw the next, in probably an endless evolution, of the Playstation consoles, the PSX. It was so cute! Anyway, it’s lunch time and it’s one of my favorites!

My fingers are melting into the keyboard!

I of course thought of a bunch of things to write about before sitting down and having the heat sap it all right away. It’s about 32ish here and way humid. I’ve had two popsicles already! Desperate measures. Watched a food show today with a Japanese guy who had ‘mastered the art of creating American burgers’. I’ve seen three of those shows. They make them as big, fatty, and towering as possible, ‘American’ I suppose. My first family asked me once when we were watching a diet show (referring to this rather round and rolly woman) if everyone was like that in Colorado. They were rather surprised when I said not really. Some of us can still get out of our dents in the coach, though I like mine, especially when Lost is on ^_~ But wouldn’t you know right after that they had this show come on about dangerously overweight people in foreign countries. And wouldn’t you know one of them was a 400+ pound truck driver from Colorado. Go figure. A question I get asked about a lot is the size of McDonald meals in America. They don’t have supersize here. It makes me think of ‘Supersize Me’, the documentary that makes you swear to never eat McDonalds again. Speaking of documentaries, they actually had an add on TV the other day for ‘Fahrenheit 911’. I was pretty surprised to see it, but it would be interesting to know how people receive it here.
