miscegenation!!!

jajaja, i know, that's a horrible thing to say. but i'd always wanted to try mismatching my rice ball makers, and now that i've done it, i think they look a little weird...like couplings that just aren't natural...

i got these rice ball makers from my aunt, who was in the process of cleaning out her house. if you can't see them, they say Tokyo Disney Resort on them. clearly the folks at Tokyo Disney are interested in people making rice balls more efficiently...

actually, that is the sense i get from most companies and most products sold in japan. people want things faster, more efficient, more instant, more...whatever. it's such a small country and people need to get as much done in the shortest amount of time and smallest amount of physical space possible...it's kind of overwhelming.

(of course, i spent most of my time in tokyo this last time, so maybe if i go back to the inaka part of the country where i grew up, things will be different...)
