A summer morning in Japan

7:12 AM: Save tiny green frog from certain death on the spokes of your bike wheel. Bike 4 miles past rice fields to train station.

8:21 AM: Listen to earworm-y ring tone from a ten-year-old kid's keitai on the train. Spend the next 5 minutes trying to figure out what videogame it's from before realizing it's Gershwin.

8:35 AM: Stand in line at train station conbini and wonder whether "THE OOLONG-CHA" is a misuse of the definite article or a redundant, accentless use of the French "thé."

8:52 AM: Work Blog posts.
