Can't Sleep

This article is good.

Even within the secret services and the army there are a number of revolts. In December 2007, when Bush wanted to prepare an attack against Iran under the classic pretext of it having weapons of mass destruction, sixteen US intelligence services surprised everyone by publishing a report stating that Iran had suspended its military nuclear programme since at least 2003.

Swimming in Sydney

post from Gridskipper on 13 October 2008 03:00:00 PM. © Gridskipper

Australians share an affinity for the ocean and swimming; our love of the water means that most kids are taught to swim shortly after taking their first steps. Word has it there are over 140 pools in and around the city (74 of them are enclosed sea pools on the beach or harbor), which means Sydneysiders have access to some of the most amazing pools you could ever hope to bathe in. From the modern lines of world class competition facilities to the sandstone coastal baths teaming with ocean life, Sydney has it all. Most pool complexes are outdoors, generally unheated but swimmable from the early October through Easter. For visitors looking to get wet, you can't beat a sauna and early morning dip at Icebergs -- or buy a cheap snorkel and marvel at blue gropers while you practice your breaststroke in the Clovelly Pool.

Chav Alert

My life could be worse. I could be sitting in this office, hearing this bloke devour his Hula Hoops. I'll take bored, Baileys and lonely instead.

Mi Dia

post from Ferroever on 13 October 2008 02:03:00 PM. © Ferroever

Blah di blah di blah. Today.....blah blah blah....I went and bought some frozen veggies and chicken balls....blah blah blah....and stocked up on kimchee miso paste that was going for half its usual price, at $1 a sachet. The kimchee blah blah blah......miso...blah blah sachets are my favourite and blah blah blah.
See the church in the collage? It's a fake church. There are lots of fake churches in Japan because Japanese people like to have 'Christian' weddings. They pay a lot for these weddings and it's usually a white, blue-eyed foreigner fake priest who marries them. It's a really cushy part-time job, especially if you can do 3 or 4 weddings in one day.
Today I also went to a faraway liqor store and found the Frontera Carmenera doo dah that Vancouver Runner recommended. Bought a giant bottle of Baileys too cos Flak told me to. He said I am happier when I drink Baileys. We shall see.

SF's Best Pizza

post from Gridskipper on 13 October 2008 01:00:00 PM. © Gridskipper

san%20francisco%20pizza%20attack.jpg East Coasters, West Coasters, Chicagoans, I want a clean fight, a fair fight, No tomato sauce below the belt. Now touch dough and go to your corners, and come out tossing at the bell. We're here to discuss pizza in San Francisco, a town with some delectable flat round treasure even if we aren't known for it. Of course, proclaiming superior pizza is a good way to start a friendly, bloody altercation, but let's save it for the comments, shall we? Other tips always welcome, of course. Now, fight!

I Tried, I Realised

I dragged myself outside for the first time in weeks and went for a bike ride to the local park. It was very pretty but I've got no interest in things really. I wanted to come home as soon as possible. It's because there's nobody to share the days with. The expat community all over the world comes and goes, and the Okazaki one that I used to know, has gone, too. Of course, new faces have taken the place of the old faces, but I'm not socialising this year because socialising costs money, and the year will only be worth it if I leave with a lot of money saved. Otherwise it will have been a very wasted year as I now realise that I could have filled this year with a lot of fun.
So I'm being rather strict with myself and have reached the conclusion that this year will be the year where I had zero social life beyond staring into a computer screen and teaching. And I'm okay with that. The important thing is to remain happy and I know it seems stupid but I'm happiest just being a homegirl, a blogger, a cooker, a worker Monday to Friday. When I leave the house, I feel lost. I think it's because I miss the high concentration of people who I met over the past two years; all the characters; all the parties; all the interesting conversations. And nothing compares to that over here. It's totally dull in my already been-here-done-it eyes. I have more energy sitting under the heated table, than I have when I get on my bike. So, facing facts, I am resigned to being a home girl. It is where I am happiest this year.
