I remember to feed my fish when I’m eating fish.

Where did these pigeons in our underground subway station come from? Did they fly through the dark tunnel from an outside station? Or did they take the subways at some point? Or did they take the elevators (the only way to reach that platform)?

When I tell Japanese people that English speaking people say “happy as a clam” and explain why, 10/10 times they start laughing pretty hard. I guess we usually look at clams nothing but a delicious food and when told to personify them a little bit, it just knocks off the brake in our brain for laughter.

I wonder if non-Asian people’s eye lids also puff up in the morning after they fall asleep, crying. My eye lids get huge.

I heard if I don’t rub the eye lids, they don’t get big in the morning but it’s hard not to touch my eyes when they’re covered with liquid.

I often encoutner mojibake (characters turning unreadable) when trying to read something in Japanese online, It’s an annoying thing when it happens on a computer but it becomes interesting when it happens in reality.

When I write or stare at same characters over and over (like caligraphy), the character starts to look like letters that I’d never seen. My mind gets so bored that it start recognizing the characters from different perspectives and the character becomes illegible. It’s scary but really interesting..

I had a nightmare where my school was making zombi virus. They were clever about where to hide though. They hid them behind an elevator. In my nightmare, some robbers found out that the elevator rotates and when the elevator with them inside came back around to face the hallway, they had turned into zombis!

That day, I think I saw an emergency light blinking on one of the research floors at my school. Sometimes, it amazes me how imaginative my mind can get in my sleep…
