Yohoho, guess what happened! I finally am back in the online world. I still can't really believe it myself, though. In those 3 month I was able to contemplate how dependent on the internet mankind has become - but I'm gonna spare you with my ponderings. Apart from my "connectivity issues", things have been pretty pretty good. I've received my diploma last month, and now it's all about applying and shit. And by and shit I'm referring to my (right now) bullcrap job at staff training, it's really hitting the fan right there right now. I've probably written about it, but they're gonna shut down that place (outsourced/downsized, whatever - although my office door proudly features a self-bestowed CEO, I don't know js about management talk), so I'm enjoying my numbered days of dodging work. Actually, it's pretty hard right now, cuz I gotta try and come up with a catchy outline for my research project, which is kinda hard (mainly time consuming, rather than hard). And all this apllication and job proposal stuff might actually stall my plans on travelling the Japans, which I was hoping to be doing sometime soon. But right now, I'm thinking about taking up a new job in April to take the first month off. I'm not exactly sure what universities working policies are concerning Reformartion Day or St.Patrick's Day, I could save some precious leave days that way. I must remember to bring that up at my job interview.
Other than that, I've been indulging in an extended Lost/Scrubs marathon, which was kinda confusing, cuz both series contain doctors and janitors, plus there's some heavy inter- and intramediality amongst these two. Plus I've been re-reading Maurice Sendak's infamous "Where the Wild Things Are", a masterpiece of contemporary American literature, which actually added to my confusion, b/c the story somewhat resembles the plot of Lost , though it is completely void of doctors and janitors. All in all, I fond Lost slightly funnier, but Scrubs definitely has the hotter chicks. Tough call. Anyways, should I rfemain unemployed for an extended period of time, I need new watching material, so let me know what series there are to make good marathons out of (I don't like 24 that much).
And I've have been watching some highly acclaimed (at least in academic literature) yakuza movies, movies a vast majority of Japanese people seems to be blissfully ignorant to. But I really am not surprised. but still, if anyone should know 仁義なき戦い (alledgedly the Japanese Godfather), pureezu let me know.
Ok, time to wrap it up for me, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of Black History Month with heap of juicy peanut butter sandwiches....
