Contrived

A most unexpected disaster, which I provoked entirely through arrogance and idiocy, and now befallen me. I will not be going to South Korea next week. And I try to be more of a kind hearted person.

So the next holiday must be NZ, target Jan, but also, quietly thinking about March. Will decide next week.

The weekend was good, spent Saturday overnight in Shibuya, after disovering Kirin for 200Yen. A man tried to walk off with my jacket (not theft, this is Japan afterall) and I managed to recover it from him as he stood in a drunken stuper outside the bar, without conflict. An Australian BeefyBoy was trying to throw his stockiness around - afterall, no sense spending your life in the gym unless you can try and start fights every few minutes - with a random guy for no reason whatsoever. It reminded me of some other Australians that I met last year.

Irritation, for I am arguing with my agent, again. The imbecile expects me to pay 60% of my salary to him, and is still pushing for more. What has struck me is the realization that I am truly unable to calmly engage in combat. This is a skill that I wish to have. The pressure is minor, trivial, and inconsequential. But I feel it. And so I feel disappointment.
