I'm not a big fan of South Park, but I did catch the hilarious episode about Chef's new tasty treat. And after seeing that all those years ago, it did make me think for a while that something similar could be pretty good. I mean I'd met a lot of people who had dipped their Macca's chips in ice cream (thankful for that I might add since I'd been called crazy for doing that), so mixing a salty flavor with something sweet was something that I thought could make some money.

Fast forward to today. At 80kgs (and still rising), I have a big appetite for chocolate and potato chips, often eating them one after the other. Well today, thanks to my gf who still insists that I'm not even close to fat (considering I'm about 7-8kg above the healthy weight cut-off for my height), I can now enjoy them at the same time!



Add that hamburger (its case is in the background) and the sushi I ate for dinner, and you've a wholesome dinner fit for a man who wants to die of a heart-attack.

So I've just realised that I have a few other pictures I'd like to put up...



That is my space-age vacuum cleaner. (My gf's birthday present.) And oh, you can see part of my collection of ties (I had 15 at last count), of which I wear only 3.





And lastly, I get presents from my students here and there. These chocolates are from Sth Korea, and not only are they spicy, they're VERY VERY spicy. Spicy Tim Tams don't hold a candle to these babies. I took this photo right after recovering from shock from the first chocolate I ate. I proceeded to eat the rest at the same time.

To end this post, I wanna say that I'd been having recurring dreams that I was 31, and after a troubled few years back in Melbourne, I'd gone back to continue doing something I loved (teaching) instead of working to get money. So anyway, ignoring the possible insight into what I should probably do about my future, the dreams felt so real that whenever I was asked how old I was, my immediate answer has been 31. The worst part about it is that everyone's believed me.

So that's all for now. I have so much to write, but I have so little time. And it's not as if I hang out too much since I don't think I have any friends left here in Japan (I haven't hung out with anyone for a LONG time). On the bright side, I do go to the gym regularly now - which is still seemingly of no use because I eat even more, and on an even brighter side, I found a great place to sleep - the train. I still can't sleep at home.

Ok, back to bed.
