There's No Place Like Home



I am a goddamn nerd when it comes to Lost even though I could be nerdier about it. I'm so fuckin psyched to watch the season 4 final episode and I'm really glad that torrents are international. I heard this song from a now in-operable Lost fansite when I was first getting into the show around the start of Season 2. Try not to think about the beginning of the Darjeeling Limited and instead think about the Season 1 story arc.

...and with Mel Ferrer as Murchison

Yesterday I was in Tokyo on a few job interviews/information sessions. Japan as a whole is ripe with places looking for english teachers and lot of these companies are pretty similar. It's hard to tell straight off the bat what the working environment is gonna be like without knowing someone who already works for that company. I did meet with another company that deals with job recruiting for mostly pharmaceutical industries which would pay a shit-ton of ¥ and would allow me to save also a shit-ton. Not sure if that's gonna work out seeing as I have no previous experience in a a traditional paint-by-the-#'s "business" job but I would be down to try it out for a while and get some stacks.

There's no lack of stimuli in Tokyo though obviously. Just walkin around you can tell the energy here is much different than New York though there are a lot of similarities between the two. Dunno why but I kept thinking about this classic while wandering around yesterday.

Definitely worth checking out as I've noted before on Like Like.

Record find #1



Went to Gloria in Shibuya a few days ago and picked up a used, but very decent copy of the Sly & Robbie Taxi Gang LP. Recommended for humid, pixelated days of summer 08.

Getting ready to move back to Japan and deciding on what gear to bring and what to look forward to picking up once there after racking up a decent shit ton of teaching hours...A lot of these tunes were done in the Kyoto spot, hopefully the archives will double up on this second time around.
