Blowup

I can’t believe this! I just went to my purse to fetch some Rahmen noodles I bought for dinner when I noticed something odd out of the corner of my eye.

I can see right into the apartments in the complex across the street, and so it doesn’t even take the use of binoculars to get a full view of my neighbor’s lives. The is overflowing with colorful characters, but the man who lives in the apartment directly across from mine has always seemed mildly normal. There was one incident when he first moved in where I caught him walking around his apartment naked, but for the most part it seems we are rarely home at the same time.

I got home around six though today, about two hours later then I usually do. I have had to go to a candy/chocolate/decorating course for the last two days and didn’t get out until around five. From school I went on the fruitless search of finding a Skype compatible web cam, but came up empty handed and then got the above mentioned Rahmen (which is cooking right now, I am trying the “prawn” flavor for the first time).

So, it was as I was reaching into my purse for my noodles when I spotted the blowup doll in my neighbor’s window. At first I couldn’t believe it, then it made me think “This is a blog,” and I went back to my desk to get my camera.

I took a couple pictures through my blinds and then opened up my word processor in order to write the blog. It was as I started to boil the water for my noodles that I opened my blinds back up, and was greeted by a SECOND blowup doll. It was only then that I noticed that the first blowup doll had been male and this second one was female. The male is dressed in a jersey and yellow basketball shorts, and the female is dressed in skimpy red top, they seem to buy their clothes at Migros.

Even as I type this I can see the two dolls staring into my apartment, mouths gaping. It’s erie now because it has gotten dark outside and all the lights in the apartment are on so the dolls almost seems to glow. Like some sort of pervy, life-size diorama.


I can’t help but just sit here and be amused by the whole thing.

Here are the pictures I took through my blinds, just to prove I am not joking.


At first it was just the one...


...but he was soon joined by another.
