I just bet it's a surprise...

I'm trying to figure out where to go with this blog. I like keeping it, but I'm never sure what to post. If I had a gift for free-wheeling excellence in thought like Fresca and Margaret, I'd be home free! But somehow my thoughts never seem very free-wheeling when typed out. Alas! I am ploddingly linear, it seems.

But I do have an iPhone, which means I have the ability to take pictures on the fly. Also, I live in Japan, which does give some good opportunities for imagery (especially of amusing English used in advertising). So I'm going to try to post some photos of daily life here and there.

This one, however, has nothing to do with Japan--but everything to do with awesomeness:
