blacklillyHey all,
After last night's big aftershock, we're now being pummelled by some impressively strong wind. I'm not sure now whether it's the ground, me or the wind shaking the house. Thanks, weather. Just in time for my hanami party too.
So, I actually just wanted to post this link to the Deathgaze review and interview at Rokkyuu Magazine. Photos by me. What a good gig that was. I was a bit gutted that Deathgaze cancelled their Tokyo gigs after the quake, though it was entirely understandable. I guess I shall be somewhere around the world when they next play Tokyo.
Speaking of which, there are now two weeks to go until the Peaceboat sets sail from Yokohama. I am nowhere near packed (I have to be ready to send stuff off next weekend) and there are all these things I keep needing to do which jump out at me. I attended two Peaceboat events this week. The first was a pre-voyage fundraiser where I got to meet alot of the young volunteer staff, who are all ridiculously energetic and funny. I then had a staff nomikai (drinking party) last night, where I was able to spend a bit more time with my bosses and co-workers. They all seem like a great bunch of people, and there are a couple of people I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be good buddies with.
I've had flu and tetanus shots this week, and am thinking about thyphoid and hepatitis B - though they are prohibitively expensive. I guess I shall just have to be extra careful. I'm also a bit unsure about the malaria situation. Basically, the costs and side-effects of taking malaria medication for over 80 days outweigh the risks of actually getting malaria, so we decided not to do it. The doctor just told me to go straight to a clinic if I get at all feverish. A friend of mine told me he has had malaria four times (his father is/was a Nigerian ambassador) in his life, and he's doing OK...
In other news, I celebrated my freedom by making a return to my old goth self. It certainly makes me feel about 10 times sexier than I did before, and is a damned good excuse to wear more lipstick:
