This morning at 10:00 am I was running around the garden in my underwear chasing an evil cat with a big piece of wood in order to protect a squirrel and some collared doves. Unaware that my neighbour was watching. I was very aware once she said, "Good morning Christopher", and while we exchanged as much chit-chat as you could when one person's wearing no trousers, one thought ran through my head:
I need a job.

Dear god, Cleatoid! You've had more J-Pan food in the past couple weeks than I've had in the freaking year I've been back!! Simmer down, man! j/k you gotta e-mail me your UK digits; i'd love to chat. cheers! LeeJ
I had an interview yesterday that will hopefully land me a job for awhile as a mechanical engineer for a biomedical cardiac device company. A far cry difference from teaching English.... And I still wear PJs all day long while I'm job searching, that's the only pro to being unemployed, laundry takes a backseat break.
No karaoke yet? Are you OK? Are you having palpitations? Panic attacks? Midnight sweats? I'm surprised you haven't been to the Lucky Voice karaoke box shop in Soho yet. Looking forward to reading your review of the place....how is it compared to the karaoke shops here?
Hey! I know! You can live in a tiny little town, sit in a staffroom for 2 years without being allowed to impart teaching wisdom on the junior high kids, not understand what people are saying, be featured on TV while you grocery shop, and get addicted to karaoke with gropey housewives and drunky businessmen. And then when you leave all of central-Northern Okayama will be sad.
Wait. You've already done that.
Carry on chasing cats with sticks. And put on some trousers.
in response to "the englishman", there's a nice karaoke booth rental place right next to the YO! Sushi on Poland Street, postcode W1F 7NH.
I think that may well be the one the Englishman means. I wandered past it the other day and had a good look. A friend told me they have no Japanese songs- boo! And it's £20 an hour or something similarly extortionate. But I shall still get there. It looks a lot nicer than Frith Street's katakana-ed Karaoke Box. I think the lack of karaoke action is making me crazy...
