went to a lecture yesterday with Alex Kerr. And what hit me was his sheer overwelming level of arrogance in believing that his way was simply unquestionably correct. His views regarding asthetics was {quote} "what the japanese people deserved". wah.
but what i liked best about the evening was buying bento; microwaving it in the konbini; sitting on the road and eating it under the streetlight. The weather was perfect. G was in high spirits, as an internship with Lehman has arrived, leading to such levels of arrogance has not answering a tele interview with Citi Frankfurt. Gambatte. i'm a born gypsy - perhaps i should use 'drinking a beer whilst sitting on the kerb, watching the world go by at 9pm' as a new yardstick for what it takes to hang out with me. and yet, the number of people who i know who wouldn't enjoy that far outnumbers the ones who would.
got my apartment sorted out after 2 interviews. it's in the middle of nowhwere, but at least it's cheap, which means that i have a place to dump stuff.
got my job sorted out after 3 interviews. it's in central tokyo, and i'm feeling a little nervous about the idea of being brought in as someone who knows what they are talking about. this is not me. i'm neither nervous nor knowledgable. but what really scares me is the knowledge that staying in Tokyo actually means missing out on something else. I love Europe and I want to go back. Just not to the UK. Yikes. I guess another year in Japan wont kill me.
the week with bell was intense. he went and did lots of stuff, and now i've got few more checkpoints on the mental map of tokyo to tick off. the science museum sounded cool - maybe next week.
