We finally made it to the baby store in the afternoon. Not without reason, I have been putting it off for weeks, and the case was proved when I had to spend most of the time there chasing Emily up and down the aisles and relieving her of various toys she liked the look of. When I put her in the buggy all hell broke out and I had to curtail my visit. Worse still, I bought her silence on the way home with a few rice crackers too. Terrible parenting, but this is the real world!
Every evening between nine and ten there is an English language version of the Japanese news and it is often quite amusing. For a country with more than 120 million population there seems to be very little to report, and the items they give airtime to seem laughable sometimes. This time, the headline was about a celebrity singer/actor who was found drunk and naked in the park at Midtown. They spent more than 20 minutes on this one item, interviewing experts on the effects of a certain amount of alcohol on a person's actions, and pondering on why he took off his clothes. Apparently the police are even raiding his apartment to find evidence to corroborate his version of what he was doing before he went out that evening, as if that is relevant.
