Presented for your consideration, one Mr. Petesan. He doesn't know it yet, but that remote control has a mind of its own...
If you've read my previous entry on the air conditioner & remote control in my apartment, you'll know that 'power of breeze' is not a button you should push indiscriminately. Like I just did the other night...
Right now, this is the rainy season in Tokyo, and the air outside is frequently visible. On such days the air conditioner is indispensible. Last night, the 'power of breeze' cooled off my apartment alot. When I wanted to lower the breeze, however, the remote control pretended like it had no battery power left! No LCD screen, no buttons working (not even the heat button!), nothing. If I had a woolen hat to wear, I would have worn it. That's how cold it was in my apartment last night. The 'power of breeze' would not be denied, or least not be shut off. This evening, when I came home, the apartment was still very cold, but the remote control allowed me to change, not only the temperature, but the 'power of breeze' as well. So, all seems well, but I am worried.
I may sleep with the lights on and the window open tonight. As long as I'm sleeping in Tokyo and not... The Twilight Zone.

It's two a.m.
The breeze is gone
I'm sleeping here freezing,
the place not warm
maybe my remote is tired of me pressing it's buttons.
Yeah there's a storm on the loose
arctic blast from the wall
wrapped up in blankets
no wool hat for my head
I cannot decode kanji
my whole life spins into a blizzard
Help I'm stepping in the twilight zone
the place is a meat locker
feels like being froze
my blanket's no good and my toes are gone
where am I go now that I've gone too numb?
Soon you will come to know when the frostbite hits your nose
