Nothing to lose 失うものなんてない


部屋を長い間空ける時は冷蔵庫をなるべく空っぽの状態にして電源抜いて出る。これが面倒い。しばらく料理ビデオはできないけど、何か適当な動画をアップできるかもしれないので、それまで達者でな、皆の衆。

When you have to leave your house unlived in for a while, you keep your refrigerator as empty as possible. Maybe it'd even better to unplug it. But that's already frustrating for me. Anyways I might be able to upload something random other than cooking videos from the US. So until then, take care everyone.

Lucky me 得した気分


マンションのウォシュレット、シャワーの出があまりよくない。管理人に伝えてみた。え?丸ごと新品に交換してくれるってさ!ラッキーラッキー。そういえば昨年サンタモニカに行ったとき、お世話になった人にウォシュレットについて聞いたことがある。彼女は Interesting と Unusual という二つの言葉を用いて答えてたのを思い出した。やっぱりウォシュレットは面白い発想であり且つ奇妙に映る商品のようだ。やはり海外の家庭で浸透することはないかもね。

Shower toilet so called '' Washlet'' in my room, something was wrong. So I told superintendent about it. Sweet! He said that he would get me a new one! Speaking of Washlet, When I visited  Santa Monica last year, I asked someone who took good care of me what they think about Japanese Washlets. I just remembered that she used two words to answer  ''Interesting'' but ''Unusual''. So that's the impression Japanese Washlets leave to foreigners. I think it will still take time to permeate overseas market.

Micky Mouse まるでやっつけ仕事





いい大人の不適切発言。一番恥ずべき失態は心のない謝罪会見。世界に恥をさらす。時代遅れの日本。はたして今回の騒動を教訓にしていけるのだろうか。さぁ・・・

皮肉にも、有耶無耶にされる前に自国で大きくニュースに取り上げた姿勢は前向きに捉えたい。

Unthoughtful/mindless words from a man who is supposed to be respectable grown-up. But the most shameful thing was that  all those studied lines of the apology at press conference. We brought our grosser aspects to the world. Now we know that we are so behind the times. Are we really going to let this be a warning to us? I don't think so...
   
Ironically, it's a good thing that it's covered widely in Japanese media before the government leave the issue up in the air.

Playing on words  語呂合わせ


                     2 9 1,  8 9 3
                                に  く  い、 ヤ  ク  ザ
                                                   ni ku i,   ya ku za


Nikui ・・・ Hateful
Yakuza ・・・ Mob, Mafia, Gangster


僕は普通の人間だよ。有名人なんかではない。もちろんヤクザでもない。ちなみに291,893人目の登録者はジャックに違いない。今では彼の存在を知る人は少ない・・・。

I am just a normal guy. I'm non-celebrity. Of course I am not Yakuza. Btw 291,893rd subscriber must be Jack. Few people know who he is now...

Professional   いい女優さんになった人

今日おしゃれイズムというトーク番組を見た。ゲストには宮沢りえ。宮沢りえと言えば年齢も誕生日もrunnyと一緒。あまりテレビでは見かけなくなった芸能人の一人だけど、今では立派ないい女優さんになりましたね。そんな彼女が今日のおしゃれイズムでつけてたピアスがとても印象的だった。わざとらしくない魅せ方がプロだなーと思ってみたり。

Today I was watching TV popular talk show called ''Oshare-ism''. They had an actress ''Rie Miyazawa'' as a guest. Speaking of her, I remember her date of birth is the same as mine. She doesn't really appear on TV any more. But she has become a good actress now. And the way she was wearing  the pierced earrings on the show was favorable impression. She was wearing it VERY naturally, not too dramatic. It was very nice to see her again.

This is Macdonald's Brazil burger for a limited time only while World Cup 2014. It was really good with BBQ sauce. I wish they would have it on standard menu. Do Macdonald's in your country  have any special burgers for the World Cup limited time only ?

Nice days ジメジメってない

今年はジメジメってない。あれ?ジメジメするのはまだ先だっけ?それにしても最近過ごしやすいね。あまり汗も掻いてないなー。新陳代謝の衰えじゃなければいいけど。

It's not so humid this summer. Wait, it has not still come yet? The weather has been a little more bearable than I expected. I haven't got much sweaty yet. I hope it doesn't mean that I'm slowing down my metabolism.

Good work, my friend おつかれさん



4年くらい使ってきたビデオカメラが駄目になっちゃった。音声もおかしくなり、録画ボタンもバカになってきた。けっこうお気に入りだったこのモデルには後継機種がない。同じの中古で買おうかな。なんて考えてる今日この頃。まぁ賢い買い物じゃないわな。

My camcorder that I've been using for about 4 years has almost died now. The audio has gone bananas and also recording button is half-broken. I really liked this camcorder but JVC don't make a new model of this. So I'm thinking of just buying used one of the same model these days. I know that'd be not-smart-shopping though.

Nationalism   どうも、にわかです

                           2014 World Cup Brasil June 13 th ~ July 14th


サッカーのW杯は各国でナショナリズムが飛び交う。自分としてもJリーグなんか1回もまともに見たことすらない。ただ日本代表となるといつの間にか自分の中にナショナリズムが生まれる。にわかファンとはまさにrunnyのことだ。

Every Nationalism around the world go round when World Cup Soccer event. As for me, I honestly don't even watch J-league game. But I come into being nationalism if national Japan team play for Japan. This is what it's called new and fickle soccer fan.

Gizmo & Pigmon 元々は怪物



ギズとピグ。20年以上生きてくれた。今は天国でゴロゴロしてる。ギズは映画グレムリンに出てきたギズモに似てたのを理由にそのまま名前に。ピグはウルトラセブンに出てきたピグモンという変な怪獣に似てたのでそのまま名前に。怒ってなかったかな?笑

Gizmo (white) and Pigmon (brown) both lived a long life like 20 years. They both are in heaven now. As for the origin of their name, Gizmo is from the cute creature from the movie ''Glemlins''. And Pigmon is from the creature from Japanese TV series ''Ultra Seven'' I hope they were happy with the name LOL

Invisible things 見えない

ここ数日は面倒くさいなーと思う事が多い。何がってわけでもなく。部屋に戻ってから何もしてないのに面倒くさいと思ってみたり。何が面倒くさいんだろう。そういう時は部屋を掃除し始める。なんで掃除するんだろう。

A lot of things that has been pain in the neck recently. I don't even know what it is. I just start to think of something I don't want to care when I get home. But I don't know what it is. What I do in the situation like that, I start cleaning up my room. But I don't know why I do it.

Folding umbrella 折り畳み傘


日本で折り畳み傘と言えば一人1本は持ってるアイテムだよね。自分は10本くらい持ってたこともあって10本くらいなくしたこともある。それでも現在2本持っている。来年この2本まだ持ってるのかな・・・?

Folding umbrella is very popular item in Japan. Almost every each one of us have at least one. I used to have more than 10. But they all have been missing somewhere station in Tokyo. And I still have another two with me now. I hope I still have these two next year....

Rainy season 梅雨

ついに梅雨入りだね。初っ端からびしょびしょになったよ。これからジメジメ暑苦しくなるから、ユニクロのエアリズムたくさん買ってこようかな。ユニクロのインナーは信頼できる。そいや御徒町にもオープンしてたな。今度帰りに寄ってみよ。

here in Japan, it's rainy season. I already got soaked today. It's going to be hot and humid weather. I think I will get AIRism from UNIQLO. I put my trust on UNIQLO's inner-shirts. It works really good. oh I've seen a new UNIQLO store in Okachimachi. I think I'll stop by next time.

No I'm not きっと気のせいだ


最近頻繁に和菓子が欲しくなる。以前は洋菓子をより好んでたはずなのに。昨日も今日も和菓子が欲しくなった。美味いぞ美味いぞ 笑 悲しいかな、やっぱり年齢が関係してるのかと。

Japanese sweets '' Wagashi '' look so attractive to me recently. I used to be not like this. I thought I would prefer Western sweets '' Yogashi ''.  But I was craving for Wagashi yesterday and also tonight. So good! Sadly enough I can't deny that it's something to do with my age.
