I should go try Calpis one of these days. I missed the opportunity to buy it when walking by a shop selling Japanese snacks. Toro's a cute mascot, too bad I don't own a PS2 to play Dokodemo Issho (I think).
The weather here this week has been pretty wet though. It's a great excuse for me to not do any painting.
