Shopping and Cooking Day!
Mar. 16th, 2008 07:56 pmI got off my ass today and did something! Huzzah!
I ordered new shoes from Marui. I had looked a while back and saw a pair (that fit!) for like 6000 yen but they weren't there today because all the new spring stuff is in. But I did find the "model" section - "Plus Size" in Japan. Not only for "overweight" people but for taller people who have feet bigger than 24.5cm. I found the same style but I was looking for a fun colour like red or green. They had turqoise... but it didn't call to me. So I asked the lady and she said she could order a pair from another store. :D Pretty red shoes on Wednesday! I'll be like Dorothy. I thought about white heels, but they would get dirty. And I didn't want black because I have so many black shoes already (although I'm buying these to replace my black ballet flats). There goes 7,900 yen.
Then I went to the grocery store. I decided to cook Hawaiian Hamburger Steak Bowls for dinner so I had to stock up on a few things. I ended up getting stuff to make Mapo Eggplant as well. I spent like 20 minutes staring at labels in the condiment section of Nagasakiya. I didn't find Worchestershire sauce though. Or rather I forgot to look, but luckily Bulldog (a Japanese sauce brand) makes one so I didn't have to shell out for the "real stuff". Not that I would have been able to find it anyway.
Stopped off at the dollar store to get some tupperware and measuring spoons. Got some DVD's. I wanted to rent The L Word because that streaming site Andrew told me about is CRAP. It takes twice as long (or more) to load as it does to watch the freaking thing. Unfortunately, the first season won't be released until the 19th. Damn. So I rented two discs of CSI: Miami season 2 and No Reservations because I wanted to watch a chick flick.
Lastly, I went to Bic Camera and picked up my digital camera. Fuck. It took them long enough. I thought they would give me shit because I didn't have the reference number or the repair reciept but he just took my phone number and that was it. 6900 yen later... I finally got to download all those retarded drunk pictures from our hotel party when Carla was here in January. Oh. My. God. I didn't think we were that drunk. And now our escapades are immortalized on Facebook for all to see.
I finished my painting! Tada~
And here was my dinner: Hawaiian Hamburger Steak Bowl and Bok Choy with Black Vinegar.
