Rainy or cloudy most of the day.
They're over! Thank goodness! The Olympic Games have finally finished. I'm so relieved. What could have been a really interesting two weeks of interesting sports and stories from the Olympics on TV has been two weeks of complete boredom for me. Yawn. The only thing more boring than watching Olympic Softball is watching Olympic Softball in JAPANESE. Rant mostly over. I found that I enjoyed reading about the Canadian athletes thanks to the CBC newspage, but rarely ever saw them on TV.
I honestly wasn't too impressed by the closing ceremonies either. For me, the bar was set terribly high by the Sydney Olympics and neither Italy nor China came close. Oh well.
Had a pretty awful day today really. Fumihiko and I argued most of the day. He's on a new kick. I have to pick the restaurants that we go to, "because I always say no to the ones he chooses." Well, actually, no I don't, it's just that he often picks restaurants that have bad food/service/or are closed that day. Well, yesterday he suggested 2 great restaurants and I was happy to go to them, so I don't know what he's on about.
We had lunch in Jiro today, but he very nearly didn't order anything. He was being really mean to me and I was very upset about the whole thing. I suggested that after our lunch we take our old TV back to the electronic shop for recycling. On the way to the shop, I wanted to pick up some of my old ink cartridges from my photocopier as I can put them in for recycling at the shop. He said it was okay, then, brought me home and took off. He wasn't seen again for 3 hours or so.
We had more words when he came back, then he had the nerve to ask me where I wanted to eat tonight. I didn't want to go anywhere with him and said so. After a bit I realized I was getting over the top and apologized. Since the closing ceremonies were on tonight and it sounded like Fumihiko wanted to watch them, I suggested going to the grocery store and just getting something there. We didn't have enough time for a restaurant. So, that's what we did.
When we came back, he did some cooking. I thought the whole point of going to the store was to get pre-cooked food, but not according to him. He made some nice spinach and bacon and some miso soup, but I didn't really want either of them. Anyway, we watched the closing ceremonies. It was nice to look at, but not much fun. I didn't feel involved at all. And, what the heck was up with the soldiers taking down the Olympic flag? Didn't seem really Olympian.
Anyway, he's off to bed now. Good!
While he was out this afternoon, I went out too. I went to Kaneta, a little clothing shop near our apartment. I got a cute little shirt for my nephew. It's got dragons and Koi on it, looks cool. I hope he'll like it, and that it will fit him. According to Japanese sizes, it's for a 10 year old, but my nephew's only three!
I deleted a rant I had made about the TV in our car. If I feel like it tomorrow I might just put that back in. Check back and see!
Got to go. Night.
