Tumblr

From now on I will mainly just be posting to Tumblr. It's short, Twitter-esque style of quick updates suits me. Especially as I have a good Tumblr app on my Android.

Anyway - here is the address. Stay tuned.

The Return

Ok, so I figured I would try and get this blog up and running again. It's been dormant for about 18 months, but I feel it's time to get it back on it's feet. Especially now that I have an Android I should be able to blog on the go - so hopefully I will be able to keep it reasonably current with on-the-spot updates. We'll see anyway.

Here are 18 things that I have learned in the last 18 months (in no particular order):

- Vegemite is basically a saltier Marmite.
- Based on their number of Twitter followers, Misha Collins is considerably more popular than both Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.
- Drinking a 'Flaming Dr Pepper' will render you utterly useless within about 1 hour.
- Wisdom teeth are nothing but trouble.
- Osaka people are a lot more... 'receptive' than Tokyo people.
- Never mix milk and antibiotics.
- After drinking, no matter how enticing monkey bars may appear - stay clear of them.
- Apparently there is such a thing as a 'Techno Viking'.
- Android phones are as infuriating as they are useful.
- People call me 'The Weatherman'.
- It is far easier to get onto the roofs of many buildings in Tokyo than you would expect.
- People love glow stick bracelets.
- Caffeine is a considerably stronger drug than people give it credit for.
- Crocs become uncomfortable to wear after about 2 hours.
- Yoyogi park on a Sunday morning is full of wonderfully crazy people.
- Drinking oolong tea can supposedly increase your metabolism by up to 10%.
- Puma trainers are always smaller than other brands' trainers of the same size.
- I am now almost entirely out of touch with popular culture. What is a 'Justin Bieber'?

Anyway, hope that provided some enlightenment. I will endeavour to keep this thing up to date again. Stay tuned...
