silly animals

recently we have been dealing with the issue of the dog eating the cat food. after trying many different spots the cat food is now settled on the dining room table, we dont use it, except to pile stuff on, and i think the cat likes it there because it's right next to a window. problem solved. 

this morning i get up and feed the animals, go into the kitchen and while preparing my own breakfast i hear them munching away at their food. as i walk out of the kitchen i am presented with a situation i am not sure how to handle. 

what do you do when the cat eats the dog food?

Okinawa World

Today we went to Okinawa World, this was probably the most fun touristy thing we've done yet, it was a blast, very hot but a blast. 

Gyokusendo Cave is on the property and very beautiful, unfortunately its not in good condition, lots of foot prints off the path, people have touched the stalactites and broken several that once hung over the path way.

there was a waterfall in the cave it was really neat.
Paul in front of the 'Golden Cup' a big golden stalactite thing with little pools at the top
then there was the tropical fruit farm where we saw a pineapple bush
i have no clue what this is but it's beautiful (it's a Passion Fruit Flower, thank you Dawn)
and some Banana's for Banana (they are way up at the top)
okay this, i dont know what it's called but if you've ever watched Andrew Zimmerman's Bizarre food's you may recognize it. i am 90% sure this is the one thing he will not eat. it's been in a few episodes and it always make's him gag. (its called a Durian, thanks Deborah)
they had a guy blowing glass, well this he wasnt actually blowing he was just shaping

some amazing hand dyed yarn i found ([del]still trying to identify the fiber content[/del] its cotton)
Habu Sake, yes it's Sake make with real poisonous snakes, gross huh? we even got to taste it and it's gross
they have several reptile exhibits, and one there was these turtles, well as we were walking around looking at the cute turtles i saw one in the water floating upside down, i almost burst into tears, and start to panic, it's in an inclosed cage so i cant reach in and save it.  after a few seconds a guy walked by and in broken Japengrish i got his attention and signaled to the poor turtle, he smiled and walked into the back, after a few min i wasnt sure if he was going to come back but he did and he saved her, i got real close to get a picture of her and i'm pretty sure she was smiling thanking me for saving her.

Dear Chili's

how is it that you can make the best side salad in the history of side salads, but you can do nothing else right? i hate going to you because almost all your food is terrible, and terrible for me, but damn you make a good side salad.

our new sunday tradition

i should start with a little back story.
i've been having some minor stomach/intestinal issues. lately i often get sick when i eat fatty or rich food. the doctors thought it was my gallbladder. so last sunday, i got really sick, pain, nausea, it was awful, so after 6 hours in the ER i still had no diagnoses, all they know is it's not my gallbladder. i was sent home with medicine for acid reflux. i'm still sick just learning to manage it i guess. so now this weekend paul has a new part for his car he's been trying to find time to install (can you see where this is going?) well he had this part that he didnt know was spring-loaded, and he accidentally released the spring and it clamped onto his finger, he basically had to rip it out. so 4 hour and two stitches later we are home. and all in one piece.

drunk dial

okay i dont drink often but when i do i am a terrible drunk dialer, and thankfully while being in japan everyone i may drunk dial is wide awake while it is my drunk dial time. my normal victim is my mother, bless her, its still early and she may get a call, but i just had a nice convo with my dad. i felt i needed him, one thing led to another and i was thinking of lobster, my dads favorite food, so i just had to tell him i was thinking of him.
oh and brag that i am officially a student at University of Maryland University College Asia.
that is all.
