Is That Peter?

Christ you look like a young Nick Cave. Quick, go do a bunch of Heroin and then QUIT.

Anyway, I'll probably be in NYC come Monday or Tuesday. I'll keep ya'll posted.

UPDATE: Who's got a place for me to stay starting Tuesday night and going till who knows when, probably next Monday.

PROPOSED WEEKEND: SEPT. 25-27

Thanks for the feedback everyone who gave feedback. To those who did not: you're a racist.

This is the equation I used to choose the last weekend in September:
date=9.21+x when x=/=8.2

Understand?

The last weekend in September is the the tentative date for Cape Weekend 3009 (see above equation). If there are any complaints, cover your complaints in decorative paints.

ok so no definite date yet. sometime late september to october. i wanna know what weekends are specifically bad for people, if you think you'd be able to make it at all. obviously somebody's gonna get screwed; we all got lives and mine's the most important (think about it: its true). but ill aim for the weekend that can accommodate the most doggies. all y'all and the followers too (shout out to the blog followers: Internet's silent have-nots) are insanely invited, but i wanna keep it just bart ppl this time.

so any no gos, regrets, and type-based excitement explosions can mozy on down to the comments section and expressssss yoself. SEE YA ON THE BEACH (UNLESS ITS COLD).

edit: click on the picture to experience full awesomeness!!!!

Just Imagine...

...what you could do with this on a cold night, with some scented candles and a few bottles of wine.

so office right now

wellllllllll i'm quite bored at my real person job. it's a real person job, as of this past monday - 9 to 5 now yo! the best part about it is i'm making something slightly akin to real person dollars. so, let's all take a second and think about how great that is for me.

since today is friday, what i'm doing is waiting till i can leave, so i may start the trek down to long beach island for silly times with my family. i am terribly excited to drive a car; you have no idea. my boss is on vacation, and i can't say i haven't tried to get in touch with her today - there were emails sent, voicemails left. oh well!

i'm feeling really accomplished after making this picture featuring lauren as a beer drinking cat, so i probably won't do anything for the rest of the day.

i also want to start a thing where we all prank call one another at our work phone numbers. thoughts?

Not taking it

While the place looks pretty... well, pretty, I opted out of taking the Hahjima position, mostly for my sanity. I can't imagine spending a year on an island that small and infinitely far from everything else in the world would be very much fun after a month or so. So now I'm slated to head to Tokyo, tentatively arriving on the 11th of next month, where I will wait for X amount of time for a placement in a "normal, mainland" city (that's what they said).

I just got my Certificate of Eligibility in the mail, so I should be coming to NYC sometime pretty soon, too, to get my work visa.

This are getting weird

So the position is open. Although apparently now it is not on Chichijima, but Hahajima, an island very close by to the Chich. What is weird about this is that the island has not 2000 people like Chichijima, but rather 300. IT IS ~21km IN AREA. It also has great snails(?). Oh boy...

That Island Thing

For those of you who know, you know. For those of you who don't, here's the deal: this whole Japan thing is happening on the 14th of September whether I like it (and I like it) or not. Thing is, though, I've got 2 options: I just got an offer from the company I've signed a contract for for this island called Chichijima - I can take it or not take it. If I choose to not take it, I'm slated to be an "alternative", which means I'll be in Tokyo pushing paper until they find a spot for me, and when they find a spot for me, I have to take it - no ifs, ands, or buts. But this island, it's about 50 miles square, has about 2000 occupants, and is a 29 hour ferry ride from Tokyo. It has a year-round temperature of around 72 fahrenheit. It has amazing scuba opportunities, not to mention treasure hunting and exploration. It is also referred to (thank you Nick) as the Galapagos of the Orient. It looks like the fucking Virgin islands. However, let me restate that it is a 29 HOUR boat ride from Tokyo, in the middle of the south Pacific. And they might speak a really weird form of Japanese (although I've read that they speak a variant of Tokyo dialect, which is the standard dialect)... So there are a bunch of both little and big positives about this place, and 2 gigantic negatives (where its located, and what kind of Japanese they might speak) about this spot. Nick and Andrew have already given some advice via Facebook on the spot (and honestly I agree, but this is a big decision so I really want as much input as I can get), but I'd like to hear what the rest of you have to say. Look it up - Chichijima.
