Don't abandon things.... that's a $5,000 fine.When good luck brings bad luck;
So, posts here stopped being regular. There has been a matrix of activities which have coalesed to form a constilation of happenstance preventing regular updates. (means "shit happens").
#1) A serious work offer in the finance sector. While it's outside the media industry and manga/anime licensing I was doing, it's regular employment, and it's a lot better than the kind of "you might get paid if this project gets licensed... or not" dynamic I was working in before. Financial literacy is still in demand I guess... I was gonna write something about the MBA finally being useful, but I think I actualy got trolled by Zac from ANN about that, from the thing I wrote in April about their take on T-Pop shutting down.
#2) Living space. Since coming back to New York from Tokyo, I've been effectively couch surfing... (that's 10 months just in case you were paying attention). There are boxes that still haven't been opened since they were shipped out from Shinjuku on Sept 20 2010. Now that I started a 50hr a week job back in Manhattan... I'm still couch surfing... with family... who I literally can't stand to the point where it's actually caused symptoms of depression from having to be within the same building. So I've got enough problems. Good news; I signed on a place a few blocks down from Dave (& Grats) from Fast Karate, so I'll be ok soon when I have other human beings to hang out with.
#3) El Internet. The house of a certain relative I am trapped in at the moment had no internet connection for quite a while. When it worked, it did so only long enough to show me one page then turn around and laugh at me and call me stupid for thinking anything good would ever happen for me ever. That's over thanks to power line networking, but that was only recently.
#4) I've actually got an offer on this Crash story which doesn't involve a blog. I'll give you 3 guesses. So I'm not sure if the next post will actually continue the Crash saga or if I'll save that for a more profitable use of calories, oxygen, and typing.
So. ... ... There it is. September is going to be full of moving and the end of it will probably see the return of weekly posts and so on. I'd have probably kept up better with the whole blog thing if it actually paid anything, but it doesn't, so me and my knowledge have better things to do while trapped where we are (and a little bit of C2H5OH doesn't hurt either, so there will be plenty of Pinky Mixology when the dust settles too).
After fucking leaving fucking Tokyo, I fucking thought the fucking days of having a fucking earthquake and a fucking typhoon in the same fucking week were fucking behind me. But no, it's gotta be NYC 1985 all over again with an earthquake and a hurricane.
Prime Minister Kan resigned. ...meh. It would be news worthy if that wasn't the norm for prime ministers.
