Mike and I just watched the first episode of 電車男 because Michiko-san recommended it, and we really liked it! Mike couldn’t stop watching, even though he got really uncomfortable and mad at the people who were being mean. 😀
- Michikoさんに勧められて、「電車男」というドラマを見ました。

used furniture
Michiko-san told me about a great little secondhand store (it’s called Swap Shop), and I got furniture for my new townhouse there! I got a dining set and a living room table, and they were both great bargains.
Here’s my dining set:
… and here’s the living room table:
You can also see a little bit of the living room curtains I made — our townhouse association has a rule that all window coverings have to look white or neutral from the outside, so I made these with muslin on the outside and the blue fabric on the inside. At nighttime, if our lights are on, the curtains look a little blueish from the outside, but hopefully we won’t get in trouble. 😀 Continue reading

嫌われ松子の一生


嫌われ松子の一生
今2006年 日本
監督:中島哲也
出演:中谷美紀、瑛太、伊勢谷友介、香川照之、市川実日子、黒沢あすか、柄本明
今は冬休みです、暇だから、毎日、日本のドラマと映画を見ます。
この中で一番好きな映画はー嫌われ松子です。
松子は小さい頃から、ずっとみんなから、愛をもらいたいです。
でも、いつも、できないです。
でも、彼女はあきらめません、不幸でも、人を愛する、
でも結局、やはり、不幸で一人で死にました。
この映画で、二つの言葉が好きです。
- 人間の価値って、
人に何をしてもらったか じゃなく、
人に何をしてあげたかってことよね。
(私は、この上なく、幸せでした。)
それに、
- 生まれてすみません。
とてもいい映画です! 面白くて感動です。

A plague on your house!
In Hawaii, people like to get places they move into blessed — it’s not so much a religious thing as a cultural thing, since the places get blessed by kupunas.
So remember how I had to move into a different office for the project I got assigned to at work? My coworkers kept asking the project leader to get the office blessed, but he didn’t, and then we had a run of bad luck, so my coworkers like to say it’s because the office hasn’t been blessed yet. 😀
Since October, our run of bad luck has included:
- One person fell off his Razor (skateboard with a handle thingum) going from our normal parking lot to the project office, and he had to get stitches because he cut his chin inside and out
- One woman tripped while walking from our parking lot to the office and got cuts on the bridge of her nose
- The man who fell off his Razor later pulled his calf muscle so badly that he couldn’t walk
- … And people are constantly sick in our office, although I think that’s because my coworkers don’t stay home and get well — they come to work sick and then spread it all over
I’m sick right now, and for the first time in my life, my cold has spread to my eyes, and they’ve been puffy, red, and icky for the past two days. There’s a plague on our house! 😀 Continue reading

熨斗とあわび
お茶の入った箱をおおっている熨斗紙は、赤と金の水引を水彩画風にサッサっと画いたもので(右下)、新鮮な感覚でこれもいいなーと眺めているうちに、なにか足りないっという気がしてきました。
そこで、別の熨斗紙(右上)を持ち出して並べてみると、熨斗が印刷されていません。 ということは、右下の紙は熨斗紙ではなく、水引紙とでもいいますか。
広辞苑で「熨斗」の項をひいてみると、本来は、細長くたたんだ色紙の中に干して薄くのばした鮑をつつんだものだったのです。何故、鮑であったのか不明ですが、のばして使ったところから「永続」「おめでたい」の意を表したようです。
手持ちの、印刷ではない熨斗と水引きは引っ越しで居所不明になりましたので、オマハにある日本物品店でひょっとしたら見つかるかもしれないと行ってみましたら、予想していたよりも立派な熨斗袋が手に入りました。左上の金銀の水引は、鮑結びで、熨斗の上には松竹梅まで加って賑やかです。

十二月のシカゴ
昨日から、冬休みです。
私は、友達と一緒にスケートをしました。
私達がスケート場に入る前、あるカップルが先に入りました。
そして、突然、男の子は女の子にプロポーズをしました。
それを見た周りのみんなは、二人を祝福しました。
そして、声援を送りました。

十二月のシカゴは、とてもロマンチックですね。

オマハ の12月 Omaha in December
オマハは150年以上商工業で栄えた東側と目下開けつつある西側とが対照的です。先日、東側の古いマンションで催たれた結婚式に出席した後、Old Market と呼ぶ downtownに行きました。人々は華氏22度(摂氏零下6度)の気温にもひるまずレストランで食事していました。
