Jesus tapdancing christ it is like a sauna in here today. I’m certain I smell like 20 sandals. I even drove home at lunch for an emergency cold shower, 15 minutes after I get back to work and it feels like I’ve not showered this century again. On the plus side, everyone else appears to be in the same boat and slightly worse for zero bonus showers. I suppose I ought to be thankful its taken until now to fully set in, I vaguely remember last year the humidity hitting at the end of May and stretching out until the ass end of October.
In “I told you so” news: I just had to go and film a congratulatory message for two young teachers who departed from Misato in April to new schools. The point is, I had speculated aeons ago that they were having an affair (at least one of the two was in a relationship) as they were thick as thieves. On the video message I really wanted to say in English “Miyashita .. Nakao… I just want you to know. I called it!”. And call it I did. Just like I called another certain person and their girlfriend, ages before they were official. I call things, that’s what I do.
So apparently reglular inebriation can help stop arthritis according to Sweden. A good stiff two fingers here and there could stop you getting stiff fingers in general. Great news for those of us who are willing to overlook liver, brain, heart damage and increasing risk of various cancers. But what I want to know is how the devil just “asking people” if they drink and have arthritis is much of a test? By the same logic I could probably link love of monkeys to brain tumours if I so wished (taking blood tests to rule out any genetic risk factors). Either way, as a man who has a penchante for the occaisional smattering of the sauce, I’ll take any good news as I can get it.
I’ve added a new string to my bow today, from next week I have to start going to music class. Why? Because they want to sing English songs. I pointed out that if they wanted to sing English songs could they simply not listen to a CD or something? That way at least the singer wouldn’t be appalling. Any idiot can learn how to sing terribly.
Obama won the democratic nomination (about 2 months ago), and now the debate is: “Who should his running partner be?” . Predictably the majority have gone for Hils, but there are plenty of other likely candidates for the presidency that should be given careful thought to before a final decision is made. For me there’s really only one real candidate for the job
EDIT: Wasting time at the office so I made another.

..bleh..
That’s about how I feel right now. I never mentioned this on my blog until now, as I knew some people would worry unecassarily or continually remind me with random messages of “You ok?” etc., which I couldn’t really be bothered with. Going back to the cancer incident of 3-4 weeks ago, I got my blood work back from the docs, the blood work that “Didn’t need to be taken” and it showed irritatingly high results for a serum that is indicative of oesophagus cancer. In order to completely eliminate this as a possibility I had to have gastrocopy (the camera in the throat dealy). Believe me, that thing is not as “micro” as they say, and if you ever have it done, take the general anesthetic not the local, I have never wanted to spew so badly for so long, it was like watching a Martin Night Shaylaman movie. Anyway, needless to say I don’t have oesophagus cancer thankfully, I in fact have an unusually pretty oesophagus apparently. So there.
In other news, I’ve finished watching the first season of Gundam 00. Whilst I’m generally in favor of Gundam, it is a massively volatile entity. Series’ such as Gundam 8th MS Team, Gundam SEED and Gundam ZZ have been little short of masterpieces, whereas the like of Gundam Wing, Gundam SEED Destiny and G-Gundam have been frustratingly bad. Despite the initial fear of four overly pretty boys meaning another Gundam Wing fiasco, 00 falls nicely into the superior group of series’ with a sequel series to come in the near future. Of course, with lessons learned from Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, we know that a good first season doesn’t necassarily mean a good second season, but we can live in hope. Give it a watch, you can find all the episodes floating around on bittorrent subbed by a group called Nyron.
I’m undecided as to whether I should be excited by DC’s “Final Crisis” or not. I enjoyed Infinite Crisis and Identity Crisis well enough, but after 52 weeks of “Countdown to Final Crisis” I can’t help but wonder if it’s horribly over-hyped. My major issue so far is how (spoiler alert!) my favorite DC character went down like a bitch in first few pages – of course we know that death isn’t much of a thing in the world of comics, particularly for the big guns. Even if DC to kill of a number of the hall of famers as they have been indicating they may well do, one can’t help but see them buzzing back into existence with the thanks of super pseudo science. Still, it’s niceto reminded that whatever Final Crisis turns out for us, we’ve come a long way.
