the indian place nearest my house is freaking awesome. not only is it DELICIOUS, if you buy 2 curries, you get one free! I don't really need THREE curries, but, it's free! Curry for the rest of the week!!

I never thought I'd get cheesecake in a crepe in brisbane!! This was one of my favourite foods in japan!!

I just FINISHED Professor Layton and the Curious Village on my DS.... I feel so empty now.

I need another sweet game. Suggestions?

WTF! Natural Glow has made a comeback, and its masquerading as "THUN LUZZIE" (Thin Lizzie). They even have a chick from new zuland doing the add! Its a makeup, a blush, a contour, a bronzer, an eyeshadow, and EVEN a lipgloss!

Tom, the Commsec dude on the late news on channel 10 has the hugest sunglasses tan. HOT TOM, HOT.

There is a tiny and cute possom sitting on the railing on the back stairs. It looks scared and has been sitting there staring into space for ages. Weird, I've never seen possums around these parts before.

Dear Sandra Sully,

I like your sleeves. They're real big.

I'M HOME!!

yay, I'm so happy!

I bought one of these. Mainly because on the packaging it had cartoon people who were so happy to be popping bubble-wrap that they had tears streaming down their faces. ITS AWESOME.

woooo I just found my little purse and it has 500baht and 100 ringgit in it! HORRAY!! Suprise money!

I really want to do this! http://www.yjw2008.jp/eng/info.php?no=19 the Taiko Drumming game is my all time favourite game EVER. I want to play it all the time but I always beat Kim so he never wants to play me.

Tonight really took the cake. As I strolled from work to the train station at 12:30am, I saw a woman vomit onto a pile of snow.

I <3 Tokyo.

its snowing again!! properly this time!!

Its snowing outside!!

this website has a list of all the stations (albeit in kanji) on the yamanote line, and the names and mp3s of their cool station songs!

thank you random boredom and crazy google-ing skillz.

firstly, its cold.

secondly, I had to get up really early this morning (8:30am!!!) and haul-arse over to Osaki (essentially the other side of tokyo) for a job interview at some British "Football (soccer)" pub. Thankfully none of the interview questions were "so what do you know about football?" because my answer would have been "ummm... soccer? nothing..."

Anyways, it went well I think - the owner is a japanese chap, and his wife is scottish, and we had a great gossip about all sorts of stuff, and they'll let me know on tuesday. It seemed like a really nice place, clean, friendly, and zero amount of dodgy. I might need to buy a bicycle though, if I have to finish after the last train (thankfully they're not open til 8am.... they close around 1am), after we move house in 2 weeks we'll actually be quite close to the pub, so that would work out well.

Cyclists are crazy over here. Everyone rides bikes, even oldies, and you ride on the footpath (when there is one... tokyo: not the biggest fan of footpaths) - or wherever there are pedestrians, but not on the road. You don't wear a helmet, and you have to ride like a crazy person. Those are the rules of cycling in japan.

I'm a bit bored now I'm home.... I really hope I get this job so I have something to do!!

I started to make a cool beanie but its sort of looking like a beret... noone wants a beret.
