ADVENTUUUURE



So yes, I biked up to get groceries and back. I count this as an adventure because a) biking in my town is like wearing a giant 'Hit Me' sign, and b) there were a number of things my bike in Japan had that I took for granted, when in fact my bike here does not have them. These were 1) a kickstand, 2) a bell, and 3) A LIGHT. ahahaha. Biking in the dark? SO not cool.

But I got back, and got all the ice cream in the freezer before it melted and the fruit in the 'fridge before it wilted. There was a sale on Ben & Jerry's. For realz. Tonight I sup upon Fudge Central ice cream with strawberries mixed in. (Sup? 'Dine' isn't right, since I had dinner at the store, but 'dessert' is not a verb. 'Sup' sounds like the greeting, though. HMM.)

Sadly, my cheap little Japanese mp3 player has gone wonky so I'm back to the iPod, my trusty Log Pose. It's weird- the mp3 player didn't have a randomizer, so I s'pose I got used to not having this, but LP really is psychic with the Shuffle command. It pulled up focused songs when I needed to concentrate and watch for cars and nice happy travel songs when I could relax on bike trails. Fun times.

And now, to buckle down to translation. Geez, I'm behind.

I hope you were wearing light-colored clothing, missy! And using hand signals. I paid attention in Safety Town.

"Dine" can mean eating more than just dinner, as I recall, but it is associated with it. "Feast," perhaps? Whenever I get B&J's I certainly feast. Mmm, Phish Food.

I was wearing light-colored clothing and reflective things! But hand signals wouldn'tve been much use on the sidewalk in the dark.

Hmm! I've always associated 'feast' with a more complete meal. Agreement on Phish Food though.
