unbalanced

I'm in a restive mood recently. It is clear that that is caused by 2 issues. One is a issue of money. The other is a job stress. Nyago is waiting for me with his anxious look when I come home after work. In that atmosphere, I have to make dinner and then work as an editor, not as a technical support of daytime work. I do hope that everything changes for the better soon.

Bussiness trip

I'm visiting Okayama on bussiness for the first time. I am not good at geography so I have no impression of Okayama. What I know about Okayama is just to be located next to Hiroshima. In fact, since I am here on bussiness and have no time to do sightseeing. However, it was over at 5 pm today so I went to Kurashiki to do sightseeing. Kurashiki is famous for old street along the river. The street was good with ancient atomosphere. As it was little time to walk around to relax, I want to come here again during the day some day. Tomorrow I will leave for Tokyo. It was 3 days stay. Next week, I will also visit Taiwan on bussinenss. I'm looking for visiting Taiwan.

To be affluent

I am not a rich but I'm fairly happy now. At least, I think so. But nyago don't think so. He seemed to think that to spend much money is to be affluent. Of cource, he denied that when I told that to him. To Japanese, earning itself is not a virtue. However, every time he doesn't have enough money to get what he wants he displays some signs of mental instability and spends money more than needs. It becomes a vicious circle. Probably he know that but he can't go out of the spiral for years. I always feel that I have powerless to help him. However, even if I can help him to evacuate his negative spiral it will be a temporarity. I wonder if he will get out of his spiral in the future.

Record performed play

I went to see a play "Horoki" with Nyago and my parents this evening, which has performed since 1961, the most times in the world. 86-years-old leading actress Mitsuko Mori has played a female novelist Fumiko Hayashi who had a stormy life over 1800 times since the debut performance. It was surprised to be a long play, it started 5:30PM and ended 9:10PM at the Inperial Theater. 3 break times are in the play but it was too long time for 86-years-old lady to act. She looked so young in the play! I thought this tremendous play was worthwhile to see once in my life before she died. Even if she lives in good condition, I thought it was difficult to perform the play which she play a major role. However, she will be able to perform for years to come, I think.

Cats' meeting

On the way home I saw a meeting of cats in Tokyo bay area. How often is the meeiting held in front of the prepared food shop? Cat seems selfish because they disorganized while the meeting and they appeared that they did what they liked each other. However, in cat world, they made it from ancient times and it also can be done in the future.

Uchoten Hotel

I saw the movie "Uchoten Hotel" tonight. It's a commedy directed by Koki Mitani who is a famous playwright in Japan. I also like his other movies because I can get a happy feeling after seeing his movie. There is something warm in his movie and his movie motivates me to do something. Let's do something you want to do. Never give up. Like the rest, Uchoten Hotel cheeared up me.

Shake

I downloaded Apple Computer's conposit software Shake Trial version yesterday. Today, I tried some function. To me the most interested feature is "SmoothCam". A shaking PAN shot was fixed by using this feature. Up to now, this kind of camera shake was difficult to fix because camera moved. However, thanks to this feature I could get smooth pan shot only by clicking analyze button. The downloaded trial version is available to use for 30 days. Moreover, "Retime" is apealing to me. "Retime" can make slow-motion shot from a normal shot. This feature is good for producers because the camera to get slow-motion is too expensive to use easily. I'd like to buy Shake some day in the near future.

Futomaki

Today's lunch was Futomaki which was a kind of sushi rolled in dried laver. At first, Nyago and I orderd Suntory's premium malts beer. Recently, my boom is this premium malts. Until recently, I have thought premium malts is strong-tasting. However, about 1 week ago, as I drank premium malts it was so clear and refreshing. Since then, premium malts was my boom. Getting back to the original topic, Futomaki we ate for today's lunch was good. In sushi restaurant, Gari which is pickled ginger comes with sushi. Gari is a supporting part and nobody goes to sushi restaurant to eat Gari. But today's gari is my best gari I've ever eaten. The gari was ice-cold and light. Of cource, Futomaki was good, too. Next time, I want to eat Anago Donburi.
