Haiku!

Today (like every other day I'm here at work) I was tempted to stick plastic forks from the canteen into my kneecaps just to relieve the boredom, but as I'm too lazy to walk to the canteen I've decided to compose a Haiku instead...


Bought a kimono

It's too big. Oh No!


Is it time to go home yet?

Denwa bango wa nan-ban desu ka...

...Is easier to remember then to say when you're drunk.


Went to a "J Rock" night at The Devonshire Arms (a pub in Camden) with a friend on Monday evening.

Not being that familiar with J Rock (what I know about J Rock can be written in large handwriting on the back of a very small postage stamp) I didn't know what to expect. I'd read a bit about it in various magazines and I'd heard of Hyde before, but had never actually heard any of the music, and I must say that I liked most of the stuff that was played that night.

The Devonshire Arms being an "alternative" pub, was full of the usual black clad Goths that Camden has become famous for as well as a small group of hardcore J Rock fans, immaculately dressed and all looking about 14 years old! (it's a school holiday after all!)

There was a screen showing J Rock videos (Which are quite impressive I must say. There's a lot of thought going into these mini epics) and I admit to drinking a lot more vodka than I should have done :D

I chatted to a very cute Japanese woman who was seated behind where we were standing and was dying to ask for her phone number.


Unfortunately the several units of alcoholic beverage that I'd already consumed put paid to any Japanese that I may have said actually making any sense.

It was only after she'd gone that I realised that I could have asked her in English...

Bugger.
