My last day of teaching was one week ago. There’s lots to talk about still, but my Internet connection is a little spotty now that I’ve moved out of my apartment. I will provide new entries and status updates with as much regularity as I can manage.

What the hell is going on?
"Worse Than Coleslaw" is about this American guy who teaches English in a backwater town in northern Japan. Said guy is maybe a little weird. Wacky hijinks ensue.
Update: After seven months as an English teacher and another month of nomadic wandering across two continents, Mr. Blithe is back in the United States! He's been having a great time eating burritos and Cadbury Creme Eggs and contemplating the future angle of "Worse Than Coleslaw" now that that whole "Japan" thing is over and done with. Also, he would really like it if you could maybe give him a job.
Brilliant!

Just watched a few episodes of that FX cartoon "Archer." It is pretty hilarious.
I guess I'll just continue to stand here with my hands in my pockets for another 45 minutes. I rule.
At the They Might Be Giants show. I guess it started at 8:30 rather than 7:30, although I didn't know that till I got a really good spot.

Talk to a cool girl. Look up her name on Facebook. She has a boyfriend :-( #haiku
Why the fuck was the Cirque du Soleil not tapped for the Olympic opening ceremony in Vancouver?
I shouted "Who Dat?!" at a random sampling of Tallahassee residents yesterday. The standard reaction was for them to roll their eyes.
Super Bowl highlight: the commercial where the guy gets a Dorito-shuriken to the jugular.
So I guess right now I'm having to decide between living in Portland and living in New Orleans. It's harder than it seems like it should be.
I love checking out books from the TCC library because none of them have ever been opened. Pages are so crisp and it all still feels new.
Where are you staying then?
Right now I am staying at a ratbox hotel in Osaka that is actually pretty nice considering it only costs 2500 yens per night.
