There are only two situations which will cause me to repeatedly drop f-bombs: When I am pruning our thorny rose bushes, and when I am using iTunes. Always.

Mother Game マザー･ゲーム
I just watched the first three episodes of Mother Game (マザー･ゲーム), a Japanese drama starring Kimura Fumino (木村文乃). It’s about a single, working mother whose son gets invited to a prestigious kindergarten, and the tensions that arise between her and the social elite mothers whose kids already attend. the school. It’s a familiar plot that we have seen before, but Fumino Kimura is so good in this one and the story does look promising. I can’t wait for more subtitles to be created (it’s about 4 episodes behind)!
Speeders
As I was running the other day, I saw a car flash his high-beams at another car going the opposite direction. I was guessing that he was warning the other driver to slow down because there was a policeman up ahead. Sure enough, I saw a police car waiting further down the street.
I used to think it was nice of drivers to warn other drivers like this one did, but now I dislike it. It’s because I don’t like speeders, especially drivers who speed through residential neighborhoods. These people are breaking the law and endangering pedestrians (and runners), so if they speed, they should be punished, right?
Korean BBQ House on my Running Route
On my normal running route around the neighborhood, there is a hill at about the 4 mile mark. At the top of this hill is a house. And the people who live in this house often barbeque. And the kind of meat they barbeque is Korean Kalbi. It smells sooooooo goooooood!!! By the time I run past, my stomach is growling like crazy! I need to befriend this family.
New Phone – Moto G
Moto G and 木村 文乃
This is my new phone: a Motorola Moto G (2nd generation)
One thing I have learned is that I do not have to load every app under the sun to have a great experience. After resetting the S3, I had to reinstall apps and each time I reset it, I would install less and less, until I was down to the bare essentials. I realized which apps I actually used and now my phone is pretty uncluttered. Also contributing to the streamlined phone is that it runs stock Android, not some manufacturer skin. So it’s nice and fast. That speed is a great feeling! (and no monthly payments is also wonderful)
