working. it's starting to turn into a foreign concept for me.

i guess i did get a couple of calls for sound engineering, and i've got some gigs coming up playing so it's not horribly bad.

but it's still boring the shit out of me and i need something else.

un-employment... it sucks

except for the fact that i get to spend all my time putting together my new garden and getting pre-production for my new album happening.

oh, and job hunting. yeah that thing... jobs... if only i could get $100k out of nowhere so that i wouldn't have to worry about work for a while...

to keep myself occupied i started blogging again....

escaped from japan and back in oz.

brand new house with a music studio but still un-employed.

at least here i can get social benefits here.

finally got a job. not the one i wanted but it'll have to do for now just to pay the bills. it'll start making things a bit easier.

off to the old town of asakusa today to show one of my friends around. hopefully i can do it all on the cheap. that place tends to get expensive with all the good food and snacks...

i'm now a registered foreigner, i've found all the cheep places to do my shopping and i'm waiting for a call back about that job...

hate having to wait for a phone call to find out my job interview result.
i don't know if i should start looking for more shit or just wait...
damn sundays...

it always helps to rock up to a job interview on the right day.

luckily i turned up 24hours too early for mine. fucking wasted Y800 on train rides...

now i have to go do it all again today. i love peak hour trains in japan.

my dream job exists in japan. and i get to go for an interview with one of the major companies that does it.

if i get the job you'll hear all about it in detail because right now i need to try and get to sleep so that i can wake up in time to get to the interview.

game face is on

i'm unemployed, i've got no money, yet i keep drinking with the other residents of this crazy house.

if things don't change fast i'll have to move onto my backup deportation plan sooner than i thought. i really hope it don't come to that. its going to be a pain in the ass to carry out this time of the year in japan. so cold...

finally in japan, and finally back online.

i've moved into my new place, a friend donated a phone to me and i'm unemployed.

i did have an interview at a place that i really want to work at behind the bar though.

and i went to my first proper japanese hard core cocktail bar thing tonight. fuck, what happens at these bars are nothing like...
