Fullmetal shopping

Good day today.

We did the marathon shopping spree today, starting with Chinatown hunting down some tea and a decent Mah Jong set. We didn't get the one we liked most - that was antique and costs $700 - but we got the next best thing which is pretty damn good. It's still made of bone and bamboo, and it too comes with a pretty case - it's like a little piece of furniture. Pieces are very pretty, but I think I want to put some more colour into them and higlight some of the colours a bit - red is for example so dark you can hardly tell it apart from red. Another challenge is that it doesn't come with easy numbers for stupid foreigners, so we'll have to learn what different character tiles stand for - rest of the tiles are pretty easy. Can't wait to play again - need to teach Laura and Clay to play this ASAP.

Other favourite items on the shopping list today included a new pair of sunglasses for myself, a Totoro, and two pairs of shorts from Lululemon for Dragon - I'm really glad he liked them as I love Lulu's clothes and I think they suit him very well. Not that it matters really - my husband is very particular on what he likes, and refuses to wear anything else.

Evening has been spent gathering strenght on the sofa after the run, watching UFC 52 and Fullmetal Alchemist, an anime series what we also purchased from Chinatown today. Dragon played a game based on this series earlier this year which we loved - and the series itself seems to be even better. In fact, before bedtime I think I'll need to see one more episode.
