Day 76 (Osaka) : I'll take "Things I miss most" for $500 Alex

What is an American drying machine? Yes, that is the correct answer and the daily double. Geez, doing laundry in Japan is a marathon of washing and hanging that lasts all day. I'm even boggled by the bars they put on the patio for hanging my clothes. Most people in America would expect to find clothes lines or bars at about chest or shoulder level so that your clothes have ample room to hang. In Japan they are just below waste level which makes almost everything except for my boxers drag on the ground. The only reason I can guess for that is the privacy it gives by keeping your clothes behind the balcony wall, but who really cares about that? If it's behind the wall it's also out of the sun and will take three times as long to dry.

Friday has already passed in the traditional temporary coma that I slip into every time the week ends. I think it has something to do with all the new material I'm processing at school but when I get home at the end of the week I just become brain dead for the first 24 hours. My bro recommended Fired Up and He's Just Not That Into You, but I only made it through the first one. It was a pretty decent one shot movie but I don't think I'll watch it again. Blades of Glory on the other hand is up to a six count, so if you haven't seen it I highly recommend that movie.
