Watching Zen on the airplane determinedly spinning round in his seat, arranging and changing the position of the pillow, blanket, neck pillow and seat belt strap, over and over again in an attempt to get comfortable reminded me of a dog making it's bed. It then occurred to me that this must be a mammalian bed making trait, a presleep burst of activity to get comfortable for the night.

This prebedtime hyperactivity has puzzled me for a long time as he can be literally fast asleep within 30 seconds of being hyperactive if the right bed time ritual is carried out.

I had also recognized this trait in myself, but for me it usually involves installing something or upgrading something as a last activity, late at night. Not the best time to mess up your computer but consistent with the feeling that you need to get things in order before sleeping with that final burst of energy.

Is it possible to post long blog entries by phone? Technicaly, yes, but it is a pain in the finger to do so. Also Japanese phones have no support for predictave text completion for English. Or do they? I did see English text come up as a choice once but I may have been dreaming as I could never get back to that option.

Maybe I could write a shorthand conversion program to expand the text. I wonder how accurate leaving out the vowels would be. It could put all the possible choices and give you a radio button to let you choose but that could be painful especially for short words and what about spelling mistakes?
