My physical, mental and actual age don't align

Today, chic from work texted me about a little getaway we and some more people from the office have got planned for next weekend, and she ended it with 'bye bye batman'. Funny things is the last couple of months I've had some pretty interesting superhero dreams, usually featuring me as batman or batman seen in third person perspective. There was also one about me fighting zombies with Will smith in a british double decker bus, ending with us being blown of the main harbour bridge, but that's not essential. The dreams have been quite dark, set in places like a casino fighting transexual villains that turned into light patterns when they were hit, bit like a justing timberlake video, to being in a middle age castle with bonfires and spanish inquisition like figures all around. Am I a supressed superhero? And how did she know?

Maybe I should have my head checked.

Other than that I've been looking at alternative career paths on the side to make a bit of extra money just for the hell of it. Was talking to my housemate the other day about escort services and he mentioned a ridiculous registration fee to be able to practice legally, so today I decided to check it out a bit. Guess what, it's pretty straight forward (well straight and straight. ;-). They make goddamn good money too, $200+ an hour and up.. Suddenly a bit more tempting, huh? :p Could be an interesting side business. Then again, maybe I should have my head checked.

Today's tracks:
'Thougher than the rest', Bruce Springsteen (Martin Vogel edit)
'Just a little bit' - Drake feat. Lykke Li

Bienvenu à Japon

Japan is a crazy place, don't think I can describe it more clearly any other way. Loving it, but should have had another lifetime to explore and maybe a day or two to prepare before departure.

Now in the common room of the guest house where the crew is talking about getting gastro in Vietnam in colourful terms like 'rocket' and 'orbit'.

Tomorrow I'm exploring beautiful Kyoto, then Hiroshima, Friday I'll be going into the mountains for a bit of Sento, the traditional japanese hot springs, before hitting Tokyo again and flying out on Saturday.

Can't wait for Norway, but don't want to leave either.

So, last night I had a talk to my two meter's about scandinavian architecture, middle eastern restaurants in east Brunswick and breaking up. It was all very civilized, no strong emotions or passions, interesting to see the similarities with the relationship..

Today I went swimming after work and then got complimented by a straight guy for my torso while having dinner. Very odd.



How awesome is this little dog:

Movember

By the way, I'm doing movember, mustache growing month. Meaning me looking like Burt F'n Reynolds meets pedo bear meets Ned Flanders for the last three weeks all for the sake of mens prostates and free burgers at Grill'd. Apparently I am passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer. I'm doing it for the burgers.

Donate online using your credit card or PayPal account to help the cause.

Suggestions to mo-designs are welcome as the last couple of days people have been literally folding at the hip or sprawling on the floor in laughter when they see me. Or asking me to say something that Ned would say.. Okily dokily.

Hi-diddly-ho!

konichiwa

Have some imported Japanese banana cake, with a complimentary non-edible oxygen removing sachet..




So the other day I accidentally came to read a text message on my boyfriend's cell phone from one of his best friends which has had me basically trying to break this going-nowhere-and-doing-so-slowly relationship since. I should have confronted him straight away of course, which I was too shocked to do, and after a bit of consoling retail therapy it just seemed too late. Damned nice jeans and an awesome top though, in retrospect.

It just feels so empty when you realize that a person whom you've devoted the better of four months to doesn't even respect you and as of late is mainly burrowing himself in work and making up excuses not to see you. Enough on that topic, I've been over it for too long already and can't be bothered to elaborate. All I need is a quick fix to break this chain that's been tying me down too long. And the actual coinciding of these two ships in the night as we're mainly outside shouting distance.. Telling someone that you feel inadequate and redundant and that the both of you will probably be better off with another prefix than 'relation' to the 'ship' (though at the moment I can't see much future in even having any kinds of relations..) is something that I don't want to do in any other form than in person.

Other news.. Finally I got my computer back from repairs; Apple took their sweet 5 weeks of time repairing it, and I gave them some pretty interesting feedback scores in their web survey. As if they'll care anyhow. It's quite fascinating to see how absorbed and dependent I really was of this machine. Without it I actually was getting up at six in the morning and going to the gym, feeling fresh and great. First day back and it's already 2AM. I know this situation just all too well..

I've also just got four more days left at work before heading to Japan for two weeks and then home to Norway for five awesome weeks of holidays..! I'm so excited I might've soiled my pants. I'll try and visit some family friends in Hiroshima, but not sure if I'll be able to make it all the way there. trying to find some bullet trains now, apparently it takes about five hours or so on to hiroshima, 894.2km's from Tokyo. Not that crazily impressive high speed as the French TGV i caught about ten years ago did 310k's an hour, but still - good name for a train.

I've also been one week in Tassie, or Tasmania, bicycling for the last week with a friend from the office. Beautiful nature, lots of roadkill and plenty of head wind. Good to get to know people in a situation outside the office environment, particularly people who you have conversations you feel challenge you and make you consider your own standings as a man. In the highly rare unlikelihood that he should come across this blog; thanks R-train for an awesome trip, you pretty much made my year! (Japan still to come though, you're up for some competition..)

Love your local train station:

All over the place

Yes, people are tagging 'happy' all over the place in Carlton, Fitzroy and Collingwood. I think someone might be thinking of me. :)

Still happy, still living and loving!

I'm still here Ty. :p

I want to live in the 30's

Today I went to see the art deco exhibition with A Boy, and it was pretty awesome. They had a beautiful, red 30's Mercedes Convertible standing at the entrance that would gulp 30 liters of petrol per 100k's, which anyhow is about the same as the standard consumption for any aussie vehicle today so I can't see why they had to point that out. Wonderful to see how technology moves forward! Would have been pretty sweet to have lived in that era; jazz, foxtrot, zeppeliners and oppression.. Check out the sweet dance style The Big Apple from the 30's.

Yesterday I went walking with Doc D and Sunray's hyperactive and demanding dog that he was babysitting while Sunny was up in the country. Along the way we saw two things that I found pretty hilarious: a) male pram jogger with bad sloppy tights and twins, stacked in the pram b) gothers going to KFC in the afternoon.

Today it is a whole new day, actually, it's already Monday night, and I haven't even bothered to finish off yesterday's posting. I'm such a lazy whore. Get my shit together. Go to the gym. Eat fresh. Have hot sex. Find the man of my dreams. Have great friends. Be succsessful. Have plenty of sparetime to relax and wander around the house in trackies and watch clueless and cook amazing meals. Life's such a contradicting bitch.

Didn't get to go to the gym tonight as I had to finish up some work, but went for dinner with Doc D and Sunray instead at my favourite Korean place, Goshen, on Smith street. Will try and get up fairly early tomorrow and go for a run before work. Local time now 1.55AM. T minus 5.05 and we have lift-off.

While doing this I have been dreaming of getting Flying Lotus' album Los Angeles which I listened to at the record store today while searching for a soundtrack. But now that I've heard more than the two, apparently, best tracks I'm a bit uncertain. Will have to read up on it before purchasing. Broadcast's "Haha Sounds" seems sweet though, and the same for the Midnight Juggernauts "Dystopia".
