Woo hoo!

Looks like I have a shot at going to Japan again.

I got a JET interview.

For some people this is a high-pressure situation where they examine everything from your personality to your ability to teach obscure subjects to children who speak no English.

For others it's a mere formality where they just get your preferences for living circumstances, and things you can and can't live without, just in order to get you the best placement for your almost-certain new job in Japan.

Which one of those you get seems to be a crapshoot, according to the internets. Or it could be someplace in between. Or it could be something entirely different. Apparently the phrase "your mileage may vary" gets a little too much mileage within JET.

For what it's worth, it looks like I'll be making a day-trip to Houston in a couple weeks. That will probably be the single worst detail of my entire JET adventure.
