the woodshed

"Where else would you go when you have an ax to grind?"

I freaked out, I came to Japan, I got a job teaching English, now I'm a professional writer and editor
People here often ask me "Reberand Paperboy-san, why are you come to the Japan?" -- I usually tell them "I came for the waters" When they don't get that I explain that within the span of a few months I got wrongfully fired from a job that provided me with a large part of my identity, had a serious relationship split up, turned 30, watched my friends suffer an unspeakable tragedy, crashed my car, absconded with the church funds, ran off with a senator's wife -- usually they like to think I killed a man, its the romantic in them. Guess how long I've been here as of this month...

Heh. Now you've got me wanting to watch Gross Pointe Blank, and it's past midnight.

Double heh.

But rev, just so you know, I always get a little thrill when I see Chiba, Chiba in the logs - always made me think, vaguely, that you have something in common with a slightly off-kilter character in a William Gibson novel......

But now it's going to be the GrossePointe thing.

Which isn't a bad thing.

At all.

Actually the sky here often is the color of television static...
