Japan trip tonight.

Don't think that a shopping rush of guitars and figures (maybe one..) is in my future, but 711 Onigiri and Beer is a welcome sight.

[UglyCasanova]

Have fun!

I got a jerb in publishing today. Nice little literary publishing collective downtown. Since I haven't done jack shit in months, it'll be nice to get cracking on something.

If you want to buy beers in a combini, try to find some Yona Yona Ale. Or another one from the same brewery (Tokyo Black, 水曜日の猫 (that one is written in Japanese on the can, light blue with a stylized cat),etc.). Lawsons usually have these, and also some really nice ones with a drawing of a frog on the can. Very recommend.

Congrats on the jerb. That sounds like a good gig. Is that the kind of stuff that interests you?

A work problem solved itself yesterday and I didn't even have to fire anyone. Looking forward to less BS and less terrible music on the stereo at work.

Yes and no. They publish some philosophy and a few novels every now and then, but it's mostly history and other variants of factual prose. Getting a job in publishing in Norway is really hard to begin with and I need the experience anyways, so I thought it okay to give it a go. I'm skeptically optimistic.

Leaving for the airport now to Estonia. Safe journeys to you Andrew!

Congrats !

first went to google "jerb" which did not really return anything meaningful xept this:


and then it dawned on me what it meant (and also that I'm old .. )

[Invisible Man]

'Jerb' is how Scandies pronounce 'complicity with our totalitarian socialist regime.'

You big ol' goofster you!

UC with the sports memes.

Congrats hubster. Now we can take advantage of the fiscal advantages that come with marriage in full

I ran my Tera Echo into the Mini prototype and realized something.

This.

Is.

Supposed.

To.

Be.

Fun.

I'm not being facetious. This shit is supposed to put a smile on your face and make you forget all the shit you cry over when no one is looking. I think I forgot.

God, I'm glad I decided to stay in Kyoto before Tokyo, so chilled. Walked around some castles and just had a curry.

But I've well and truly confirmed that I can't function on travelling days/staying up for 40 hour days.

[D.o.S.]

Glad you landed safely.
