I upgraded wordpress here’s a little test to see if everything’s working fine.

I quit my company on wednesday and today was the wakarekai. Wakarekai means goodbye party. Unless you’ve worked in a japanese company you have no idea how much this is a big deal. Japanese people put the emphasis on being part of a group and a work group in today’s society is as important as a family can be.
So we gathered in an okinawan restaurant and drank ourself silly while i had to make a speech. The thing is, when you’re leaving a company people thank you for the effort you have put up.
The correct formula is otsukare sama deshita. It means thanks for your effort.
Now, it’s the first time i have to quit a japanese company ans it’s pretty heartbroking. I’m not used to that kind of politeness and caring. In France you would just leave and that would be that.
In Japan it’s a big deal, that’s why they throw a party when you feel you were a key element of the company and they’re sad to let you go.
They made a fucking book for me, where they wish me luck in my next company and thank me for the effort i’ve put up until now. That book is so great it’s probably one of the most important gift anyone has ever gave me.
Everyone in the firm has put up a word of encouragement and since i was working in a design company it has a lot of weird graphic design stuff in it.
They photoshoped my face on the french soccer team, they photoshopped myself with my boss while he was in his teen. It’s like a big book of love dedicated to me that’s why it’s so fucking overwhelming.
I’m really bummed out about leaving that company because the people were great. At the same time the job was the most uninteresting shit so i knew i had to leave someday.
Anyway Sankakusha was a great design studio to work in. I’m scared shitless of the next company i’m gonna join but with that book i feel like i can push over mountains.
So to everyone at Sankakusha, thanks, i’ll never forget.
THis is a chessy post but it had to be done.

Colonel Kurtz was a whinny little bitch.
Don Aazco took his family deep into the jungles of Peru, killed his son in law, married his daughter and tried to single-handedly rebuild the Inca Empire.
This is his story.
Werner Herzog, here’s your next movie.

About 50 percent of all the gaijin that i have met are professional photograhers. Well, they don’t really take the word professional very seriously, it’s like in movies when they say about a bank robber that “he’s a pro”. Bank robbers are by definition “pros”, they get money for what they do, there’s no one that list robbery as a hobby.
Anyway, those professional photographer are usually also professional english teachers. Then there’s the guy at Online photographer that wonders what it would look like if those guys were to give advice to famous photographers.

Charlie Brooker is a writer for the english newspaper The Guardian. He is also the guy that made every argument on the internet useless via this article. It’s funny how sometimes someone much more talented and smart than you are take the chaotic mush that is your train of thought and just put it black & white on paper in a very elegant manner.
This should be on the login page of every message boards on earth.

Nice article which presents the new fonts to be included with this year’s Microsoft softwares.
Yep that’s it.

Another guy with too much time on his hands started his own postcard designing service. It’s not a service ok, it’s just a guy that made postcards because he was bored.
Anyway some of those are nice.
And look, when i’m bored i watch tv shows or i read the Internet, then i got nothing to show for it. At least that guy made pretty neat postcards to boast about.
Since i can’t finish this without being a little assholeish i’d say that the captions are a little overexplaining it.

This guy has convinced me to give up shaving cream for awhile. I was easily convinced mainly because i’m bored and this looks like fun and is a nice conversation starter at parties.
But since i have no idea of what is baby oil (i can make a wild guess though), i’m going to go straight to hot water.
Yep, i’m that much of a badass.

Quick go and vote for the ugliest dog competition now !
Last year winner was Sam(left) who’s is already an internet celebrity. This dog is really ugly, not as in haha ugly, but as in son of satan ugly, terrifying out-of-this-world ugly, nightmare-inducing ugly etc..
This animal is now dead but someone had the heart to call it his pet.
She found and take care of it and i guess that’s how dogs are supposed to be taken care of. You don’t go and buy a dog, that’s for little girls that wants a toy, you meet a dog and you stick with it to the bitter end.
And if you don’t meet dogs, you don’t need dog.
Here’s a posthumous video in honor of Sam the dog.
