The Christmas day

 How was your Christmas?

 Unfortunately, I didn't have anything to do on the day.  The special winter course of the cram school I work as part-time job started, and I worked for two days.  Then, on Christmas, there were no classes, so I was free.  I woke up over ten o'clock.  I had very good sleep.  And, I ate brunch, haha.  I thought I read books to kill my time, so I went to Tsutaya to buy novels.  I also had to do something for my bank account.

 After those, I went back home and went to a supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner.  Now, my mother have gone to trip, so I have to get dinner ready.  I would make a beef stew and a saute of spinach.  There were potatoes, carrots, and onion, so I bought beef, shimeji, and spinach.  I think I have done well.  I ate those with my father.  My father was fond of the saute of spinach. I enjoyed and felt a little lonely, but it was nice Christmas.  Maybe, haha.

Much Ado Aboug Nothing

 This movie is about two loves between two women who are cousins, and two men who are the knights serving Don Pedro.  The women's names are Hero and Beatrice, and men's names are Claudio and Benedick.  Claudio fell in love with Hero when he saw her first.  Benedick and Beatrice thought love and romance are stupid things.  They swore that they would not be married.  Claudio and Hero were married very soon.  Don Pedro, Hero's father, Hero, Claudio, and other persons tried to trick Benedick and Beatrice to make them be married.  However, Don Pedro's brother, Don John, thought to destroy their happiness.

 One of my favorite scenes is when Don Pedro, Claudio, and Hero's father tried to trick Bnedick. They spoke loudly when they saw Benedick because they wanted Benedick to hear their talking.  The talking was that Beatrice fell in love to Benedick and that she annoyed very much because of the love.  Benedick hide himself from them and listened to their talking.  Then, he had chair but he wasn't able to show himself so he tried to sit down it.  The next moment, the chair broke down and he tumbled down.  It was very funny scene!

 The title, Much Ado About Nothing, means that the persons do much for something they think are big problems but the thing is nothing.  I didn't understand the relation between the title and the story at first.  In the story, some big problems happend and they aren't able to be said nothing.  They are very very big problems.  Don John caused the problems.  Why it the title "Much Ado About Nothing"?  It was my question, but I reconsidered about that.  At the end, Claudio and Hero could be married again.  This means that the love was recovered between Claudio and Hero.  And, Benedick and Claudio didn't have to fight a duel with each other.  Furthermore, Benedick and Beatrice could be married.  Those are not only recovered but also became better.  So, I thought these recoveries were the meaning of "Much Ado About Nothing". I could understand.

About comic

 I like comics.  I read a lot of comics and have some ones.  The comic I read first was Dragon Ball.  When I was a child, I used to read and to be very excited.  It was the just time to start to broadcast Dragon Ball's animation on TV.  I have all volumes of it.  I was interested in comics very much.  But, when I was a child, I didn't have enough money to buy comics.  So, for young me, to go to Book-Off and to read comics are very enjoyable things.  I also liked to go to library because there were a lot of comics about history.  Regardless of categories, I liked comics.  In high school, I was busy with the club activity but I read the Weekly Jump every week.  Now I became to be university student, and I am afford to buy comics.  I often buy a series of comic in a lump.  It is very enjoyable, but there are not spaces to put them in shelf.  I have to arrange them.

My favorite bicycle

 My favorite bicycle is a black and small one.  In fact, I have another usual size one and I have used it for four years.  I used to go to high school on that bicycle for three years.  Then, I have been to Hiroshima for three years, so I didn't use that bicycle while being Hiroshima.  And I got back to Kumamoto and used it for about one year and a half.  However, in these days, I wanted to buy a new small one.  I looked for bicycles at some shop.  And I found some good ones, but they were too expensive, so I would give up to buy new one.  Then, I saw the black and small one at Mujirushi-Ryohin.  It was more reasonable than others that I looked.  It was sixteen thousand yen, but I had some gift certificates, which I got some years ago as Eco-points when I bought TV.  So, it actually costs twelve thousand yen to buy it.  Since the time when I got the bicycle, I feel that going out on the bicycle is enjoyable!
 Before then, I usually went out somewhere by city tram or on my foot, so the weather had nothing do with me.  Recently, I usually went out somewhere on the bicycle, so I tend to worry about the weather on next day.  On sunny day, I feel happy to go out with my favorite bicycle!

My favorite comics

 One of my favorite comics is Vagabond.  The author is Takehiko Inoue who also describe Slam Dank which is very popular comic of basketball in Japan.  Its story is about the life of Musashi Miyamoto who is a sword man in later Edo Era and who is said that the first sword man used two sword first.  In the Edo Era, using two sword was not usual, but Musashi Miyamoto did.
 In the early story, he was young, fearless, and reckless.  He wanted to be the strongest person in the world.  He fought a lot of strong persons, and won them or sometimes lost.  Also, he saw a lot of person.  In the life, he came to change.  Young Musashi enjoyed to fight and to break his opponents.  Older Musashi enjoyed not to win but to move better.  "Better" means moving without vain one.
 Also, he came to wonder what strength is.  What is the strongest person?  If he can win all others, is he the strongest person?  Then, what is win?  If he kill others, does he win them?  And he concluded that "the strongest person" is just a word and he wanted to be more skillful and better sword man.  He came to seek how high he make his skill.
 The comic gives me a power and make me think something.  I thought a lot because of the comic and was gave some idea to be.

My Weekly Jumps...

 On Saturday, it was very cold, so I tried to prepare the kotatsu in my room.  However, when I tried to do, I noticed that Weekly Jumps, which I had bought every week for two years and a half, was very obstructive to prepare the kotatsu.  I had to remove them to another place.  First, I gathered them.  They sprayed in some places in the floor.  I wondered how tall they were if I laid the magazines.  I started.  I put them under my desk and another room.  I moved them to my room and laid them.  You'll understand that how high they are if you look the pictures.  I put a wooden sword near the mountain to understand the size.  It came to my shoulders.  I gathered  to dump them but, after I did, I felt satisfactory and wondered if I ought to dump them....  So they were laid in the corner of my room.  Of course, I sleep in my room, so they are near my leg when I sleep.  I hope that it won't break down and scared when I sleep...
