In lieu of a proper about page, which I am still finding impossible to write, here is a list of stuff about me.

  • I live in Kichijoji, Tokyo Shepherd's Bush, London. It's a nice leafy suburb just outside the 23 districts of the centre of the city. I like it a lot.
  • I like music. Specifically D&B and soul music.
  • I work as an Assistant Language Teacher in a pretty dodgy public Junior High School in Ichikawa, Chiba. This basically means that I attempt to instill a love and knowledge of the language of Shakespeare in students who would rather be sodomized than study English. I also get a lot of time to play on the internet and study Japanese. I am now studying for a MA in Japanese Studies at SOAS.
  • I should study Japanese.
  • I smoke (Wahey!).
  • I like Nintendo. A lot.
  • I also like Playstations.
  • I own too many records in Japan, and have no idea how I will ever be able to afford to ship them home. Edit: It was expensive.
  • I find it annoying that fat people can effectively take more stuff (including their own fat) on planes than I can.
  • I am becoming fat in order to try to get value-for-money on flights.
  • I like tea.
  • I like Macs (Apples and Donalds).
  • I am currently living about 5000 miles away from my girlfriend, which is a little akin to voluntarily ripping off one's knees and then leaving them in Japan. Basically, a shit idea.

About Electric Pig:

The site is called Electric Pig, because that is what my surname can be read as if written (by a retarded foreigner like myself) in Japanese Kanji, and because I couldn't think of anything else to call it. My mate Sid is witness to how bad at naming things I am.
