Random Japan keeps interrupting the Jisaboke Film Festival.
From episode 106 of SCTV, the one where the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation takes over the airwaves, Joe Flaherty appears in military garb over some familiar looking old footage.
It’s a candian fact
Did you know that when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Canadian…House of Commons declared war on Japan immediately and the American Congress did not declare war until the next day? Thus, for 24 hours, Canada stood alone against the treacherous forces of Japan. Did you know that? Well, it’s a fact.
In other news, I tried to get a solid night’s sleep by drinking three pints of Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery Pale Ale before hitting the sack. It didn’t work. Now, I’m hung-over AND jet-lagged. Splendid.
Anyone got any cures for a Double-Whammy out there?

Sure, a bean-bag chair, a nice spliff, and Redd Kross' Phase Shifter album at full volume. You'll feel 19 in no time.

Phase Shifter is a monster. Why all the bad reviews on that one?

Why all the bad reviews on that one?...Good question...bad timing I suppose (1993=grunge).

That whole record is full of good questions. For example...
"Why does a missile look like a cock?
Why is the world so fucked up?"

did your tourist visa expire again? Can't you teach english over there?
Posted by: Canfield | January 05, 2006 at 06:50 PM
No way in hell I will ever teach English anywhere.

I heard its an easy way to get a visa. A friend of mine got a three year working visa to teach "eigo" in Japan and then quit the job and did his music stuff.

Tip on drinking and sleeping:
They don't mix well. Alcohol can fuck with your sleep, in fact some Japanese ministry published something on this last year as part of a press relese regarding the shortage of sleep among busy Japanese men.
