Our dryer died. Our neighbors moved out so we were using their dryer (on their electric bill...), but that was never going to last, so we had to buy a new one (it was a lot cheaper than the price on the web). Ahh...the joys of married life.

On a more interesting note, we had a great beer last night - Hitachino Nest Lacto Sweet Stout. A sweet stout is brewed with lactose - that's why it is otherwise known as a milk stout. I love English translations of Japanese. Check out this page that suggests which Hitachino Nest beers one should pair with Japanese food. Classic. (Of course their English is a lot better than my Japanese)
