this toilet is so very near perfection!!! upon entering the stall, i was automatically intrigued by this toilet. you can probably guess why...THERE'S PLASTIC ON THE SEAT. and a big red button the side (the red arrow on the left hand side of the toilet is pointing to it) that you press to change the plastic. when you press the button, the plastic moved like a little conveyer belt around the toilet seat. this made me a little suspicious though because how do i know that new plastic was coming out and that it wasn't just rotating the plastic? looking back i really should have tested it out, marked a part of the plastic with something and then pressed the button to see if the same part would come back out...but anyhow, regardless of my suspicions, i still thought this was incredibly awesome. that's really, the only really great thing about this toilet. i mean, it's a class A toilet stall- comfortable size, toilet is just the right height, toilet paper was placed justin the right place, little marble shelf behind toilet to put your stuff on if you carried anything in and the flush button was pretty cute (silver button on left side). and it was so very clean and simple. it wasn't an automatic flushing toilet but those always freaked me out a little and i hate when they go off and you're still sitting on the toilet. and it didn't talk to you or anything. nor did it have any sort of the bidet-like functions i've heard existed in some toilets. but it was still quite an excellent toilet.well, that's all about toilets.
it's so goddamn hot here in new york. it's way cooler in the philippines. and for some weird reason, i'm really lonely. i guess i just got used to having all these people in the house all time or at least hearing people around the house. but i'm glad to be around more familiar people/hearing familiar voices and for once speaking to someone who's closer to my level of english (although of course, no one really is that close to MY level of english). well, i'm going to go do stuff other than unpack/put things away because...there are so many other things to do!

Wow! An obsession with toilets too?! Jane is like the perfect girl!
And what are these bidet-like functions? Are you referring to the jet of water that shoots out and hits a bull's eye on...umm...you know: there.

Thats right newbie, it shoots you right in the face.
I have never used a bidet, but its hard for me to believe it would do even a half as job of getting one clean. Think about how much effort it takes with your arm and there is way more force backing up your arm.

I was just at the hospital to visit my cousin's new baby, and I noticed that the toilets have a huge L-shaped valve over the bowl that sprays water directly down in order to sink floaters.
Also, I linked to you guys at my blog at The Salvage Bar.

yeah. i've never used a bidet. but i think it might do a pretty good job. although i don't think having a "jet of water" shoot you in the "face" is really the image we should be thinking of here. (i mean, that would just be weird...and i think, unpleasant. although humorful.)
a bidet is more like a sink...except the water comes out at an angle instead of straight down. so you place your bottom in the sink, turn the bidet on and it's like a shower for your buttcrack!
i don't know if ryan's ever mentioned an old filipino tool called a "tabo" but it's similar to that. except a tabo is really just like a large ladle that you fill with water and then pour the water onto yourself in the place that you want to clean. so i guess it's like a manual bidet. man, i should write and illustrate a manual!

LOL! I fell out of my chair laughing. I swear to god!
I think this is the first time i've ever had a conversation about tiolets...and for some reason, i feel strangely fulfilled.
