屋台の飯は不味い ( note )

こんなことを思ったのは今年がはじめてかも知れません。
世間が見えてきた証拠なのかも。(?)


屋台の定番って何でしょうかね？

焼きそば、たこ焼き、いか焼き、ジャガバタ、りんご飴、わた飴

などなど、いっぱいありますけど、最近食べたので不味かったのはいか焼きと焼き鳥です。
いか焼きとか焼き鳥は焼いたやつを置いといて暖めなおす。
それだけでも不味くなる原因なのに、塩も精製塩だし肉は味気ないし。

こんなことを言うとその道のおっちゃんに怒られそうだ。

まあ、あれは祭りで食って楽しむもんだろうね。

mysterious force ( note )

When some people walk together, some mysterious force acts on them.
数人で歩いているとき、不思議な力が働きます。

No one of them knows where they are heading.
誰も行き先を知らないのにある方向へ歩き続けます。

Maybe, they are following one another.
たぶん、お互いがお互いについていっているんだろうね。

Maybe, they are assuming others know a destination.
たぶん、他の人が知っていると思いこんでいるんだね。

Then, someone says the phrase and the magic breaks.
そして、誰かがあの一言を言うと魔法が解けるんです。

"Where are we going?"
「どこ向かってるの？」

理系の性(nature of scientist) ( note )

One of my favorite comics is 「ヒカルの碁」.

Actually, I don't know the rule of go a lot, but ヒカルの碁 is very fun even without knowledge of the rule!


Then, what i'd like to say today is my analysis of it.

ヒカルの碁 でヒカルはめきめき力をつけていくのですが碁の世界のことは何にも知りません。

Why?

I noticed!

It is because the author has to explain words of the world of go to readers. Then, 「ヒカルは碁の世界のことをよく知らない」という設定にすれば、ヒカルの友達がヒカルに説明すると同時に、読者にも違和感なく説明することができるという寸法なわけさ！

あだち充の作品はナレーションが入ったり、登場人物に読者に向かって自己紹介させたりするけど、それとはまったく違った方法なのさ！

When I noticed it, I realized that this is the nature of scientist.

裏を読む。。。理系の性？

riddle ( note )

〇愛があれば、ベッドの上や車の中で横になって、時々血が出たりして疲れるけど終わったら気分がよくなるようなことってなんだ？

If you have love, you'll lie on bed and sometimes blood could drip and we may be fatigued, but after finishing it we feel better.
What is this?

〇毛のついた棒を穴の中へ出したり入れたり、最後に白い液体がどろり、そしてすっきりすることってなんだ？
First, put a stick with bristle in and out of a hole, and at last some white pasty liquid appears.
What is this?

happy ( note )

When we feel

neither happy nor unhappy,

we are happy!!

READ MORE

We realize we were happy when something wrong happens.

CLOSE

Be Active!! ( note )

I am a GK, or diffender.


Sometimes even I try to make a goal, but it's a rare case.
For example, all players offend just before the time runs out.


From now, I should be a forward.

Acitively, offensively, agressively, I should fire in shots and try to get a goal.

Otherwise, nothing will happen!

disorganized person ( note )

disorganized person(部屋の整理整頓ができない人)

I am one of disorganized people as well.
As I lead a life, my room and an area around my PC are getting messy.

A few days ago, I noticed that the reason why my room is getting messy is that I didn't make boundary between today and tomorrow.
Set clearance as one duty to finish by the end of the day, and my room will be kept clean.

When I worked at Japanese-style bar (居酒屋), people work at the kitchen always keep it clean. Every day, every losing time, clean up.
That's because the bar has closing time as boundary. And then, I thought if I set closing time, I will have a motivation to clean up my room!!

I try to be conscious of a feeling of it from now on.

push over a cliff ( note )

Have you tried a bungee jump?
I've never done it. I don't want to try if I would have a chance. ^^;
Without string, we, human, couldn't be alive definitely!! Neither other (not frying) mammal could!!


You, of course, know the phrase that "lions push their children over a cliff."
Furthermore, only the children that climb up from the bottom of the valley are grown by their parents.

The story is just a myth.

The word ,lion , is incorrect. To be exact, the word should be "shishi". Shishi is a sacred beast living in Mt. Seiryo(清涼山) and is a vehicle for monju-bodhisattva(?)(文殊菩薩).
The shishi pushes its child, born 3 days before, over a cliff down to very deep valley.　


Real lions love their children dearly, I heard.


The reason why I found this story was my cousin's English homework. He have to prepare for English speech in the classroom.

How did I find my way to home!?

6. It is afternoon when I wake up.

speaker: The jazz band was the main attraction at the event.
　 　me:　　　　　　　The jazz band was the main attraction at the event.

learning English #1 ( note )

I'll introduce my way of learning English to you all in some batches.

First of all, the most essential things for learning English are input and output. Not only input or output but also both of them are needed.
Furthermore, it is more and more important to repeat them, and we can learn English.

You know, only input won't work because you don't use and you can't use; also, you can't remember.
Only output won't work because your expression will be limited.
And then to repeat both of them, you can acquire English language.

To be able to speak English, speak English.
To be able to write English, write English.
To be able to read English, read English.
To be able to listen to English, listen to English.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!
