Speak the Gaijin. 6oct2005

First the Bad News.

As of the end of October Jenn and I will be without our own living
accommodations. Since the last week of September Jenn's supervisors
and type people have been working out a contract with a Real Estate
Agent for the apartment we found. As of this Tuesday we were operating
under the assumption we would move in by the end of the month.
Yesterday Jenn was told that we HAD to move on the 16th, and pay a
shit load of money (about 2500 american) by that day. Today Jenn went
with her supervisor and her coworker Todd to sign the contract and
make everything in order. Bear in mind it was the real estate agent
who called on Wednesday saying we had to move in on the 16th, and that
they should come in Thursday to sign the contract. Jenn, Ikawa (her
supervisor) and Todd, show up, are sitting at the Agent's desk, when
the agent tells them there is a problem with that apartment. Asks them
to wait and minute, and goes and makes a hurried phone call in
Japanese. The Agent comes back, aplogize proffusley and says that she
is most sorry but the landlord has already let his family move into
that apartment five days ago, and that he only called us right after
we called you yesterday. But we have many other (shithole rustbucket
on stilts) apartments for you to move into".

To end the story quickly, we are going to find a new real estate
agent. but we have to find a liveable apartment by Samhain or Tim
starts lighting fires. It's not like we'll be out on the streets,
friends places have couches and floors, but the place was nice and it
just horribly disappointing and the making of the new stress. The
funny part is that it may cause hilarious results, as to expediate our
moving the Giant Lie that Jenn's supervisors have been telling is that
I have horrible horrible fatal allergies to the tatami (straw) mats
which the Japanese love so much. the old new apartment had western
style lineloeum flooring, which will most likely not happen with any
new apartment we find.

but moving on, Japanese people love to dance synchronously. they love
it. they fucking love it. Nothing gets your average japanese hotter
than what basically is the Electric Slide. Remember the Macarena. Fuck
those guys, the Japanese invented Dancing Ridiculously in Formation.
again check my photostream set at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tasteful_tn/sets/1050659/ for visual
proof. Words fail to describe. I'll give a proper right up in a few
days, mostly on how Japanese Fireworks make Gandalf's fireworks in the
Lord of the Rings look like a dog farting in the wind. I require sweet
black sleep.
