This is a photo of the best and worst purchase I have ever made in my life. It is a kotatsu. For those of you unfamiliar, a kotatsu is a Japanese heated table. The top of the table comes off, you put a blanket on in the cold seasons, and then put the table top back on. There are small space heaters underneath the whole table and when you stick your feet under there, it’s a toasty oven of pure bliss. It’s great on heating bills because I don’t turn on my heat, just my kotatsu. It’s the best and the worst purchase because it’s fucking awesome yet it’s so awesome I never want to leave the thing and end up missing school because who the fuck wants to get out from under a toasty oven of pure bliss? Not this bitch. My advice to you, is that you should totally get a kotatsu but only if you have the will power and self control to not get trapped under there. It’s so addicting, I even sleep under it sometimes… From the overwhelming amount of notes about this, I will answer a few questions:

I bought my kotatsu and kotatsu blanket in Yokosuka, Japan at a department store called Home’s.

The table cost around $200 (American) and the blanket was about $50.

I keep it at the lowest heat setting and it’s perfect for me. I haven’t burned myself on the heaters and doubt that I could get burned unless I stick my fingers in the coils. I sleep under there sometimes with the heat on and the worst that happens is that I sweat in my sleep until I wake up and turn the table off.

I’ll have to measure the dimensions of the table for you guys, but it’s one of the larger ones. I would guess that it’s 3ft x 2ft and about 2ft high. I’ll update later when I get the correct measurements.

So in case you all live under a rock, they’re making a spin-off to Boy Meets World called Girl Meets World about Cory and Topanga’s daughter Riley. They filmed the pilot episode this past week and are waiting for Disney to sign it to become a full series. As of now the only returning characters are Cory, Topanga, and Feeny. but as you can see in the above photos, Rider Strong, Will Friedle, and Maitland Ward visited the set to watch the taping. The only plotline we really know is that Cory has followed in Mr.Feeny’s footsteps and is now a teacher. If the show gets signed, Michael Jacobs (the creator and write of both BMW and GMW) said that any cast members from BMW that want to come guest star are welcome to come. Let’s all hope that this show gets signed and we get a bunch of the old cast back (:

EVERYBODY SHOULD READ THIS!!!!!!!!! REBLOG…IT CAN SAVE A LIFE OR TWO!!! WARNING: Some knew about the red light on cars, but not Dialing 112. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren’s parents have always told her to never pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called, 112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren’t, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way. Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone feature. I tried it on my AT&T phone & it said, “Dialing Emergency Number.” Especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going on to a safe place. *Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it’s your turn to let your friends know about “Dialing, 112” You may want to send this to every Man, Woman & Youngster you know; it may well save a life. This applies to ALL 50 states PLEASE PASS ALONG TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT CAN SAVE A LIFE….
