鯛めし Eki-ben

130517035cx6.jpg

Firstly I had a tai-meshi( red snapper - rice)lunch box in 1980s. At those days I used to take a train without destination with a sketchbook, an English paperback and a French paperback.
On a day I bought this lunch box at the Atami station where is famous as a spring town beside the pacific ocean. I didn't get off at the station, I only stopped for buying this lunch box to eat it with watching the running seaside view through the window.
Almost thirty years passed, but the lunch box is now sold. I get it at the Shizuoka Shinkansen station. But Shinkansen train is so rapid that I couldn't enjoy the lunch box with a can of beer. So I take it back to my room.
I fully enjoy this tai-meshi lunch box with a glass of beer with listening the YouTube by Alison Krauss and Union Station.

静岡麦酒 la bière Shizuoka

As I get thirsty, I stop into a beer restaurant near the Shizuoka station.
There I find the fantastic name, « Shizuoka Beer .» The brewery is a big one, Sapporo Beer company.
The taste is good.
This glass of beer is the first glass after I stopped drinking owing to the stomach condition two years ago. It's so nice.....but I have a very little headache in the Shinkansen train for Tokyo.

静岡パルコでアリソン・クラウス Alison Krauss

130517032cx6.jpg

I've been looking for her CD these twenty months. Last year I got a disk performed by she and Robert Plant. Her name is Alison Kraus.
At Asagaya and Shinjuku, now, CD music shop has become out of date month by month. The people who wants to get CD at shop are now teen agers and old persons . So shops has become smaller and smaller and I could find almost of those are performed by Japanese pop idles and old Japanese Enka music singers. They wouldn't and couldn't listen or understand the foreign language music. And kids love only the song from the animation TV programs. I almost give it up to get through the real CD shop.
But I find a big CD music Shop in the Shizuoka Parko. The shop is like as the shops were around Shinjuku several years ago.
I find her. I find two.

小梳神社 Le temple Ogushi

Almost of the Japanese can't read this Chinese letters of the shrine name.
The pronunciation is O-gu-shi. It means « hair ».
A young girl and her young mother watch curp in the pond. And fifteen minutes later I find them in a boutique where the young girl spend her time to watch out the shop. The mother looks absorbed in the beautiful clothes and the girl looks for something curious for her.

The road must have trees. Only around here, the Kan-nana road has trees.
Those big trees give me a sort of energy to spend a day in the beggining of a day.

１９６７年 L'année 1967

Who did have kept the magazine of this advertisement page?
Why did somebody dump it?
I try to remember what I was doing in the year of 1967.
What did you do in the year?

水ギター la guitare d'eau

The workers have paved the ground with asphalt. The shape of the water flowing down makes me remind the guitar.
A few minutes later, the water covers all of the surface and the guitar solves into it.

スキャナ付プリンタ購入 l'imprimeur avec un sondeur

130514006cx6.jpg

One morning I tried to print out a worksheet of the day. But the printer I've used for three years didn't work. The next day is off. So I go to Shinjuku to get a new printer.
For three years, the price has downed almost half of the past price.
And with my happy wonder, it have a scanner.
I try to scan three paperbacks to PDF file. It's fine.

These three paperback are old ones which couldn't be found in book shops now.
The authors are dead. One of them, Yoh Sano, has died a few weeks ago.
The book in the center is a very old famous historical fiction in 1930s. I read it for checking the old usage and old words of modern Japanese.
The right is a mystery of railroad timetable alibi. This genre of mystery exists only in Japan. The railroad timetable alibi can be supported with the running trains just on time. Japanese railroad men would say they would call a train in late when the train is late at least three minutes. And this mystery is under the railroad timetable of 1961.
They say the average late time per each Shinkansen is only 36 seconds in 2012.

I'm very satisfied with this new printer.

図書館デビュー la bibliothèque

130515012cx6.jpg

I've been looking for this book for long long long time. So long as to give it up with thinking the tales should be not so fascinating. I often go to public library to read books which don't have. But I've never borrowed a book at any public library. The reason is I don't like to go to the same price twice for a book.
There is only one book in all of the public library, I know in searching. If they decide the book would have no reader, it would be released and vanish for ever. So I should request to burrow it. There is no waiting-person.

I get it. It is exciting! It's so exciting that I've ordered it through the Amazon com.

If you understand Japanese, please read this article about this happy SF by Masahiro Noda.

Oh, what nostalgic names!
I spend for a while to remind their names from their face.....

Eh? What do I get?
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
The Japanese translations are very expensive. I won't spend Yen 11000 and more for them.
I think these two translations shouldn't be paid so much money.
