well blow me down


Must be typhoon season! My balcony had about 2~3 inches of standing water this morning, because the drain (which is shared by my washing machine--isn't your washing machine outdoors, on the balcony??) got clogged. I'll spray some mold-remover (HCl for all my chemist homies out there) down there after the rain lets up again.

And here's another little surprising experiment:


The prominent English/Roman words on the front are "Lot.DZA", "Cabernet Sauvignon", and 10% 500ml. What does that lead you to believe?

.. the biggest letters in Japanese says "SANGURIA" (Sangria). What does that lead you to believe?

... and finally, the beverage was located in the ... juice section of the convenience store. The full Japanese is "apple and grape Autumn Sangria". OHAYO is a milk company, apparently specializing in perishable beverages served in cartons. (Asahi and Kirin produce most beverages, so it's rare to find a different name--maybe OHAYO is a subsidiary, I dunno)

So is it alcoholic? Probably not. .. But that's the experiment I'm doing now. We'll see how much I enjoy work today...
