Im back
The Flight was good. Qantas gets four and a half stars from me. Their new video on demand system rules. (not to sound like an 8 year old or anything but it does rule) I watched two episodes of extras which ive never seen before. Ricky gervais is a genius. Also watched Borat for a second time (do not come any closer gypsy! you shrunk this woman gypsy?) and started watching love actually on ronans reccomendation Only saw half an hour of it but I have to agree that what i saw was so much less painful than babel and given that Hugh grant was in at least three of those scenes, that would have to make babel worse than shit.
Im looking forward to living like a nomad for the next month or so. I have never done the couch crawl.
last week i read that studies have shown that people who win tatslotto and people who have been in car accidents return to the same level of happiness after a short time. if this sort of homeostasis for the mind is true (and i think it probably is) its a strange concept to dwell on. does it mean that al endeavour is futile as it will inevevitibly lead you nowhere closer to fulfillment or is that my hangover talking. perhaps its that endeavor is the point of life and depending on your situation sense of achievement is all relative. this is turning into an unusually deep blog for me. i suppose its just that im going through a period of change right now, where i am is not where i thought id be a year or even 6 months ago. instead im back in japan with no idea how long this thing is going to last for. i used to think that i knew where i would be say, 1, 2 or even 10 years down the track but im learning that all of that thinking is futile. wow deep man.
in other news i have a job interview tommorow. the pay is the same as the old geos dig but im hoping there will be significantly more holidays. the idea of only getting a week or two eeach year again isnt appealing to me.
oh and my friend grant is getting married to keiko who is now pregnant. will it be a shotgun wedding? stay tuned next blog to find out. i also have the job of teaching keiko a little bit of english before she goes to new zealand in april to meet grants family.
exciting stuff.

teaching your friends fiance
wow sounds like a love triangle in the making.
maybe avoid future trouble (all is not futile!) and go here www.fiance.com
tho if you have seen russian bride with nicole kidman this may not be enticing.
thanks for getting deep. how do they measure 'same level of happiness'. I seem to think the phrase same but different applies.
as for me i seem to be on gentle curve downwards punctuated by short extreme disruptions.
don't want to sound crazy of nuthin'
welcome back to japan
that should be 'or nothing'
