Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

I went for a great 15km fast walk today.
Split @ 7.45km 1:00:34 HR 140. Total time: 2:03:00. It felt really good. I guess I prefer walking to running. Soooo I'm going to get the ChiRunning book next and see if I can learn even more that I can apply to long walks instead of runs.

Had an interesting conversation with Megumi today at McDonalds (needed food). There is a service here called GILT which is a lot like Groupon but it seems easier to use. She saw a great deal for a Brazilian Waxing and has decided to go. When she went back to get the coupon they were all sold out! (V-line, I-line, O-line @ 3500 yen regularly 15,000 yen). She checked their website and for a first time visit can still get V/I/O but has to wait until it grows out. That's not the interesting part...

This is:

Megumi did some reading up on Brazilian Waxing on the web and at the shop's website. Apparently it is not at all popular here in Japan and for a very... silly reason. It seems that Japanese guys don't like their woman waxing their pubic hair because it has an image (among Japanese guys - and this is pretty strange because Japanese porn is pretty sick) of the woman playing around and having lots of sex with different people. It seems that having a big busy --> *bushy* (ed: thank you for pointing that teeny error out, Darrell)  pubic zone kind of proves (to these men) that their women are not players.

So it is not that popular here to get your puddytat waxed.

Me? I'll take a well-groomed feline to a mangy stray any day.

I love you!

P.S. I think I'm going to have sore calves on Monday.
