(well, who needs them? haha sorry!)<br />Sometimes it will be nice to talk about something else other than music. :)<br /><br />Since I moved in to my new apt, my cats seem to be happier and more playful. They love the sun light we getting into bed room, dining room and living room. They love we got a lot of windows so then they can see outside all the time (they met some other cats which are my neighbors and they are not happy to see each other on both sides...) .<br />My 13 yrs old, Olive plays more now either with toys or with Nash. It's nice to see her playful again. :)<br /><br />I am so happy over all with this new apt and I am pretty sure my cats are happy too.</div><div><br /></div><div>Aw, btw, Nas gained weight again like... 16lb... He needs some diet!!<br /><br />最近音楽のことばかり話してたんで、息抜きというかたまにはうちのネコの話でも．．．（な〜んて聞いてないって？へへ）<br /><br />この4月に引っ越して来てからうちのネコたちも結構新しい環境になれたみたいです。光がたくさん入ってひなたぼっこする場所が増えるわ、窓もたくさんあっていつでもどこでもずーーーっと外を眺めてられるわ、、、で、文句つけようがないというか。なんかネコ達も私同様ハッピーみたいw　１３歳のおばーちゃんネコ、オリーブもおもちゃとも、ナッシュとももっと遊ぶようになったし、近所のネコさん達にも会うようになって（お互いまだ慣れず、ふーふー、しゃーしゃー言ってるけどね）、楽しんでるかのようで私もハッピーです。</div><div><br /></div><div>あ、ナッシュ、また太ったよ。。。7キロだって。。。ダイエット必要っすね。。。</div><div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/TCGaZV47j7I/AAAAAAAAC64/mj4Nyay8fOI/s1600/photo+(2).jpg"><img style="float:left;

But I was just assuming I was the only one wanted to check them out and debating myself should I go or not.. After debating to myself, and when I was kind of giving up, a very good friend of mine asked me if I wanted to see Music for Animals who are friends with her and her bf, and they were the opening band for Fitz and Tantrums. It was a quite good surprised. :) </span></span></b></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Fitz and Tantrums are based on soul and some of their music reminds me the Supremes or some Motown's music or even some other 60's. I think it's pretty cool band even though I usually listen to indie rock/pop bands. I really like their sounds. Their live show at Spaceland was really great and a lot of good energy going on. I had such a great time with their music. </div><div>They will stay at the Spaceland as a residency every Thursday in June. So if you can, you should check'em out. I totally recommend them. </div><div><br /></div><div>And I can't forget to mention about the Music for Animals from San Fransisco. Their live show was pretty awesome too.

Madchester era was the most influential music era for all time for me. I was already into European/American music since I was in Junior High School, and I was in to Madchester music so much when I was around 18 or19. One girl that I was hanging out often at the time showed me different type of music back then, and that still remains in me. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">They are touring in Europe at this moment, and going to Japan too. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">When are they gonna come out to Los Angeles??</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">夏…まだですかね…もう6月の中旬なのにまだ寒い。朝は曇ってて、ジャケットはいるし、夜も肌寒い。全然夏らしくない!!　個人的には涼しい方が好きですけどでもやっぱり季節は季節らしくしてもらうのが…。寂しいなぁ。これもまた温暖化のせいですね…。カリフォルニア州はスーパーなどからビニール袋の存在を消そうと来年か2012年あたりから実施するそうですよ。いいぞ！イケイケ!!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">ということで…音楽だけでも夏らしくいきましょか。最近発見した音楽でThe Drums、これ夏っぽいと思いました。どことなく60s、サーフィン系を思い出す音、はたまた90年代初期にブレイクしたMadchester時代（</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madchester"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">WIKI</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">) の音も入っててかなり気に入ってます。私が18,19だった頃仲良くしてたあるお友達に影響されてMadchester（Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Primal Scream など)系音楽を聴き始めたんですがぞっこんだったこと思い出します。今でもMadchester大好き!!

They are a local band from Silverlake, CA, and I think this band is one of the fastest growing band I've ever known.<br />They just released their debut album "Gorilla Manor" in this Feb, 2010. They had their residency at <a href="http://www.clubspaceland.com/">Spaceland</a> and <a href="http://www.foldsilverlake.com/framesschedule.html">Silverlake Lounge</a> for "free" every Monday like a few months back (I can't believe I missed those shows...)<br />And now, after they had a big break at SXSW, and Cochella, they became so popular that every shows they do was always sold out (I'm only talking about in Los Angeles), and their next show will be held at Henry Fonda in this September... This is just great. I love their music, and love to get to know that they are locals. and I love watching locals becomes so big.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">I did go to one of the shows at the <a href="http://www.bootlegtheater.org/">Bootleg Theatre</a> though. Lately this venue started running to have good bands as well, and Local Natives also played here about 2 weeks ago (I will post the pic later on). At this show, their energy delivered to us so well that we were all together and excited to see their live. And I started to realize the front rows were filled by young girls screaming their names. I felt like I was in wrong crowd for an idol band or something for a sec. lol I am a bit confused with this type of fans but oh well, it's not my business I guess...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Only one thing that I did concern about was the lady next to me. She seemed to be around mid-40s or maybe closer to 50s. She danced a lot, sang a lot, sweat a lot and looked like she was having fun a lot. That's great! Even around her age, it IS a great thing to have a good time with a good music. I would like to be like that!

someone who I think I can connect so well, maybe too well the other day.<br />I am already at this age, however I can't never stop from loving someone. :)<br />I don't know too well him yet I am learning a little by little whenever I can in limited time.<br /><br />This band, Gauntlet Hair was some kind of band I learned from <a href="http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/">gorillavsbear.net</a> through him.<br />This is awesome blog site which can show you the new indie sounds. He the one showed me how good this blog was. And I am already loving it.<br /><br />I couldn't find too much info about this band. I found Myspace page, and learned they are from Colorado. It doesn't seem like they are coming to LA soon. Bummer...<br /><br />I am not sure if it's the echo effect makes the sound so good or the melody from guitar, or vocals.... I don't know what makes the music good but it's good. I like it. It got an element of Brit pop from 80's I think. Maybe that's why I like them.<br /><br />So check them out here: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gauntlethair">Gauntlet Hair> Myspace</a><br /><br />最近ドキドキしちゃうことが起きて．．．。というかそんな人に出会っちゃいました。良いドキドキはいつまで経っても感じるべき感情だと思います。いつもそのこと考えると楽しいし、自分をアップビートに持って来てくれるから。お肌にも良いしねww　そんな人が教えてくれたブログ<a href="http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/">gorillavsbear.net</a>。その人のブログじゃないけど、昨日お裾分けしてもらった情報です。ここにはインディー系の音がすごい詰まってていつもクリックするのがワクワクするんです。今日は何が聴けるのかなーって。その人と私の趣味と言うか音楽味のセンスというかほぼ一緒だから話が通じやすいw。そんな人から教わると素直にお、じゃ〜聴いてみようじゃないの！ってなことになるの。<br /><br />で、今日「お！お宝発見！」的なものあったよw<br />Gauntlet Hairっていうバンドで、調べてみたけど、Wikiも出て来なかったし．．．。<br />誰だ？って感じ。でもMyspaceはありました。ってかミュージシャンはMyspaceないと痛いよね．．．。コロラド出身らしいというところだけ発見。探索が足りないのかな〜。<br />ロスには来なさそうだね．．．残念。<br /><br />３曲しか入ってないんだけど、何で好きなんだろうって考えた時、ちょっと分かんなかった。<br />ギターの音色がエコーエフェクトに掛かっててちょっとだまされてる？って思ったけど（エコー掛け過ぎなところあるんだけど）そんなことなくて、メロディかな。なんかね、８０年代後半のブリットポップに似てるからかも。<br />っていうか、好きなら好き。理屈はいらない！まー聴いてみて。<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/gauntlethair">Gauntlet Hair> Myspace</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-8347365768618564097?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-12701236637635213742010-05-05T22:43:00.000-07:002010-05-06T00:28:25.788-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S-JfpEg-v1I/AAAAAAAAC2o/UZxhC7ciia8/s1600/IMG_2182.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S-JfpEg-v1I/AAAAAAAAC2o/UZxhC7ciia8/s320/IMG_2182.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468038056772550482" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">05-05-10</span></b><div><br />I just came back from the Two Door Cinema Club show at Troubadour tonight.<div>This young Irish indie rock band got some great energy to show.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was very looking forward to this and I just kept listening to their album over and over, and </div><div>I also checked <a href="http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb100504two_door_cinema_club">their KCRW show</a> 2 days ago at the Morning Becomes Eclectic. I was so ready to see their live. </div><div><br /></div><div>Luckily, before I went in to the Troubadour, I got to talk to Kevin (Bass player/ vocal - wearing glasses) a little bit. Thanks to my friend Mr. Oyie, he was the one introduced me to Kevin ;). hehe Until I was interrupted by some people who were looking for tickets, we talked about this show and he seems very sweet. </div><div><br /></div><div>After the show was over, I was like "wow". Even though they just came out like 2007, and according to the interview I listened from KCRW, they just got out from High School. They are so young however they are very talented. They got talent, energy, and power to grow more and more. I can predict they can be big in the near future. </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, I can't forget to mention about the opening band, Funeral Party. I have seen their live at Spaceland about 2 years ago opened for <a href="http://furrylunchbox.blogspot.com/2008/12/friendly-fires-spacelands.html">Friendly Fires</a>. Back then, I thought they were "kinda" good but not there yet. It sounded like just copied from other cool bands/music however for this time... they came back with powerful sound. What made them change? I really like their beat and sound now. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Door_Cinema_Club">Two Door Cinema Club: Wiki</a></div><div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/twodoorcinemaclub">Two Door Cinema Club: Myspace</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>久々です。引っ越しとか旅行とか出張とかでなかなか時間がなくて．．．。</div><div>Two Door Cinema Clubのライブから今帰ってきました！</div><div>友達が教えてくれた直後からこのアイルランド出身若造インディーロックバンドの音楽を聞きまくったほど、最初から惚れました、この音に。超良い！！アルバム聞きまくり、Youtube、インタビューなど色々見て予習してから</div><div>行きましたが、ライブでエネルギーを感じ取れて、シンプルにすごいなって思えたバンドは数多くいますが、このバンドもそのうちの１つ。でも何が他と違うかと言うと高校卒業したばかりなのに、この音作りの上手さ。なんなんでしょう。まだまだ経験を積まないと出て来ない音とかあると思いますが（アマチュアな私になんて分かりませんが）、才能があるんだな〜と感心してしまいました。リズムといい、音といい、エネルギーといい、良いですね〜〜。</div><div><br /></div><div>しかも人格も良いと見た！ショーの前にバンドメンバーの一人、Kevin（ベース／ボーカル - メガネ）と話す機会があり、今晩のことちょろっと話しましたが、話し方も柔らかく、ちょっと気を使ってくれたりとかしちゃって．．．優しい！音楽も良ければ人格も良い！これで私は大ファンになってしまいましたw。ロスにまた10月に戻ってくると教えてくれたので、またショーに行けるといいな。今度はFondaぐらいになるのかなw</div><div><br /></div><div>あと、前座のFuneral Partyも忘れてはいけません。このバンド、<a href="http://furrylunchbox.blogspot.com/2008/12/friendly-fires-spacelands.html">Friendly Fires</a>が２年前にSpacelandでライブをやった時にも前座を勤めてました。でもこの時はなんか微妙〜ってちょっと思ったりしたのを覚えてます。ちょっと良いんだけど、好き！って言えない中途半端な音だったような．．．。でも今回は前回と比べ成長してる！音楽を聞いてて、お〜〜こいつらがんばってるな〜って思っちゃいました。是非是非チェックしてみて下さい。</div><div><br /><br />TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - I Can Talk<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bJDCMth8poM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bJDCMth8poM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1PorW3y5n1w&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1PorW3y5n1w&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB | UNDERCOVER MARTYN<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LLK4oaXUuLg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LLK4oaXUuLg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Funeral Party - where did it go wrong<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F511G5syqus&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F511G5syqus&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/funeralparty">Funeral Party: Myspace</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-1270123663763521374?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-86029059662153662972010-03-15T21:23:00.001-07:002010-03-15T22:04:31.962-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58IG4QcxmI/AAAAAAAAC2A/187nFEQLNoc/s1600-h/IMG_1256.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58IG4QcxmI/AAAAAAAAC2A/187nFEQLNoc/s320/IMG_1256.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449082988415207010" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />03-15-10<br /><br />I finally received my new apt's keys today. :) I am soooooo excited and can't wait to sleep, eat, dine, and play with my kitties at this place. Since my current apt doesn't get any sun light in living room, this new one gets bright light in to EVERYWHERE! :) :) :)<br />I always wanted to live in the hardwood floor too! I've looked around soooo many places over 20 locations between Valley to Downtown, and I didn't like ANY of them. But thanks god to my lovely friend and my near future neighbor, Miss G got me in to this apt. She already got a cute place and I really liked it even before I saw my own.<br /><br />It took me just a day to give my answer to the new apt manager. From there, everything was rolling and been decided to move out from my own historical place (ha! 12 years!! Geez!)<br /><br />Although my current place is filled of boxes boxes boxes and trash... I want to get out of here asap... lol<br />However, I am very thankful to my place though. It had been through a lot of things with me. Graduating college, meeting a lot of great people (and bad), marriage, divorce, etc... It's seriously the time to move on. At the same time, I am also hopeful that I can change a bit of my life starting at this new place in Silverlake. Meeting new people, changing my view of life a bit.<br />My mind and soul are just so clutter right now, just like this current place. I just need some fresh air in them, that's all :)<br /><br />今日やっと新しいアパートの鍵をもらいました！そうです、私はこの12年間過していたロスフェリツから離れ、隣町だけどシルバーレークという場所に引っ越すことによーーやく決まったんです！！今日は初めて一人でじっくりアパートを見ることが出来て、ここにあの家具おいて、この壁にはこの絵を掛けて...なんてシミーレションもしてみちゃったw　早く新居で寝たり、食べたり、ねこちん達と遊んだり、ただいまーーって言ってみたり。早くしたーーい！<br />今住んでいる場所はリビングに光が全く入らずだったんですが、新居はあっかる〜〜い。<br />るんるん♩<br /><br />今回の場所が決まるまで20件以上見てもう最後は諦めていたけど、友達のGちゃんが「うち乃アパート1軒空くけどみない？」って言ってくれて。彼女も同じところに住んでるから、もうレイアウトは分かってて、かわいいなーって思ってたところ、お誘いの声一言。<br />ちょっと心は決まってたけど、ちゃんと見ないとと思ってみたらやっぱりかわいい。<br />次の日には返事出してました。<br /><br />その後、事がどんどん決まって行き、とうとう今月末この古巣とはおさらばすることに！<br /><br />この古巣は今箱、箱、箱のやまずみ。猫達もどうしたの？何？何事？とちょっと困惑状態。<br />しかも今日はなっしゅくんの誕生日だと言うのに。。。ごめんなー、何もしてやれなくて。<br />あ、特別な日用に取ってあるウェットフードがある！あげてやろうじゃないか〜。<br />待っててな。<br /><br />あ〜、早くこの部屋からでたーい！もう心も頭もぐっちゃぐちゃの今、本当にこれ、終わらせてリフレッシュな人生始めたい！！<br /><br />でもね...こんな私に12年間も付き合ってくれて見守ってくれたこの部屋に感謝せねばな。<br />ありがとうね。お世話になりました。大学、卒業、色んな出会い、結婚、離婚などなど...<br />ほんと、色んなことあったなー。今度は新しい場所でどんな出会いがあるんだろうね〜。<br />楽しみです。<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58NdglJg6I/AAAAAAAAC2I/6zaCcbNub7k/s1600-h/IMG_1246.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58NdglJg6I/AAAAAAAAC2I/6zaCcbNub7k/s200/IMG_1246.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449088874754704290" border="0" /></a>The first one is my living room.<br />上↑の写真はリビング。<br /><br />←Bed Room<br />寝室<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58NeeOJRGI/AAAAAAAAC2Q/na8KPrzhUuk/s1600-h/IMG_1252.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58NeeOJRGI/AAAAAAAAC2Q/na8KPrzhUuk/s200/IMG_1252.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449088891301217378" border="0" /></a>Bath Room<br />洗面所<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58NfdgQibI/AAAAAAAAC2Y/wMaMdeWANXs/s1600-h/IMG_1263.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58NfdgQibI/AAAAAAAAC2Y/wMaMdeWANXs/s200/IMG_1263.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449088908288625074" border="0" /></a>Kitchen<br />キッチン。ちょうど黄色のタイルが！お金入ってこーい！<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58PzrfzFSI/AAAAAAAAC2g/QWkKfBifies/s1600-h/IMG_1292.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S58PzrfzFSI/AAAAAAAAC2g/QWkKfBifies/s200/IMG_1292.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449091454665430306" border="0" /></a>Happy Birthday, baby. :) I'll give you some wet food so hold on!<br />お誕生日おめでとー！（って書いてある間に悪さ一つ！）<br />せっかくウェットフードあげようとしたのにー。ぷりぷりっ！<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-8602905966215366297?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-31360697276577706662010-02-15T20:43:00.000-08:002010-02-16T00:22:16.484-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3owU-grRXI/AAAAAAAACyI/hj_SwjlL94k/s1600-h/IMG_0842.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3owU-grRXI/AAAAAAAACyI/hj_SwjlL94k/s320/IMG_0842.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438712636938863986" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">02-13-10 - 02-15-10</span><br /><br />My first Yosemite National Park was such a nice, pleasant experience to spend for the Valentine's Day. Not only Valentine's Day, the next day, 15th was my bf's birthday.<br />I enjoy and appreciate more to spend a special moment in beautiful nature lately.<br />I think it's more special, and memorable. And it's just nice to get away from the city anyway.<br /><br /><br />今週末はPresident's Dayに、バレンタインデー、それに彼の誕生日でもありました。<br />普通に綺麗な、おいしいレストランに行って、祝っても良いけど、最近はこういう特別な日は自然の中で過ごすっていう行事を好んでます。街から離れるっていう意味でもあるし、<br />こういう方がもっと特別に感じるし、思い出に残ると思う。<br />で、そんな週末をヨセミテ国立公園（ロスから車で５時間）で過ごして来ました。初めてだったし、雪も全然残ってて寒かったけど、ハイキング、自然の中でのご飯、ちょっとした観光...、楽しかったです。<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3o30wOvSfI/AAAAAAAACyg/soTtThDZPw4/s1600-h/IMG_0837.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3o30wOvSfI/AAAAAAAACyg/soTtThDZPw4/s200/IMG_0837.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438720879442741746" border="0" /></a>Yosemite Fall.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3o3z86xwvI/AAAAAAAACyQ/5n2NWV1SNy8/s1600-h/IMG_0819.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3o3z86xwvI/AAAAAAAACyQ/5n2NWV1SNy8/s200/IMG_0819.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438720865668809458" border="0" /></a>Half Dome<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3o32J53L_I/AAAAAAAACyw/SJf3QVB2ixI/s1600-h/IMG_0853.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S3o32J53L_I/AAAAAAAACyw/SJf3QVB2ixI/s200/IMG_0853.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438720903514370034" border="0" /></a>This is where we camped.

I don't even remember how long it has been. </div><div><br /></div><div>My friend took me to this one gun club in downtown, it's called Los Angeles Gun Club. </div><div>I didn't think there were so many people waiting but it was packed last night. We waited about 1 hour to get our station. </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, we got our turn, and he pulled out his Ruger P89 9mm and Colt 1911 45mm (is that right?). I have no idea about guns and I was already scared by the huge gun shot sound from other stations so I was a little bit nervous for whole thing. </div><div><br /></div><div>He taught me how to hold it, how to load the bullets, how to unlock the gun, and where I put my hands and my index finger (when the gun is already loaded, I need to put my index finger outside of trigger.). And... it's ready to shoot! </div><div><br /></div><div>I tried the 9mm one first since he said 45mm is so much powerful than 9mm. When I shot 9mm, it was still powerful for me but after I shot a few times, I got how the gun moves and I shot the target a bit higher than I wanted to. So I aimed a bit lower and I started to shoot somewhere I wanted to. Well... not quite but close enough. :P </div><div><br /></div><div>45mm WAS really powerful. I couldn't get any target point almost every shots. When I shot the first bullet, I think the empty shell(?) went in to my glasses. It was pretty hot... :( </div><div><br /></div><div>Over all, it was pretty fun. I was close and shot the target at every shot :) It's all about practice!! </div><div><br /></div><div>久しぶりにシューティングレンジ、行ってきました。この前に最後行ったのは父がロスに遊びに来てくれた時だったから2001年？結構前だから覚えてない...。</div><div><br /></div><div>今回行った場所はダウンタウンにあるLos Angeles Gun Clubっていう所へ友達が連れて行ってくれました。昨晩はすごい混んでて、１時間ぐらい待たされてやっと自分達の番が来たって感じです。</div><div><br /></div><div>銃声って音がすごくて、耳の鼓膜を保護するイヤフォンと目を保護（銃弾の残りが飛び散るので）するグラス貸してもらって装着。撃つ準備万端ですw 銃の持ち方、銃弾の入れ方とか、入れた後の指の置き方（引き金を間違って押しちゃったら大変なことになるからね...）とかも教えてもらいました。</div><div><br /></div><div>友達が持ってきた銃は２丁。Ruger p89 9mmっていうのとColt 1911 45mmだそうです。</div><div>9mm と45mmの違いはそのmmって書いてあるんだから長さなんだろうなって思ったんだけど、違うみたい...。ちょっと分かりません。</div><div>でも強さは45mmの方がとてもパワフルだそう。実際やってみたら、腕を固定するのが大変でした。9mmの方ももちろん固定するの、大変だけどまだやり安く、ターゲットをしっかり撃てる。それでも銃を撃つと腕の力よりも銃の方が強いからどうしても撃った瞬間上に行っちゃう。だから、それも含めるために、下の方を狙ったら結構ターゲットを撃てるようになりました。ずっと練習したらちゃんと撃てるようになれるのかもね！</div><div><br /></div><div>まー下手っぴでも楽しめるガンクラブでした。また行きたいかも〜。</div><div><br /></div><div>Los Angeles Gun Club</div><div>1375 East 6th St. Los Angeles, CA 90021 </div><div>213-612-0931</div><div>Open 7 days a week</div><div>Mon-Thu 3pm - 11pm</div><div>Fri-Sun 11am - 11pm</div><div><a href="http://www.thelosangelesgunclub.com/index.html">Website>></a></div><div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28liWDXZxI/AAAAAAAACxQ/FYeLjvbR7fo/s1600-h/IMG_0795.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28liWDXZxI/AAAAAAAACxQ/FYeLjvbR7fo/s200/IMG_0795.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435604547224954642" /></a>This is a collaboration with Oyie. </div><div>Some shots in his head, neck and center of its body. </div><div>友達とのコラボ。頭、首、体の中心に何発かw<br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28lhv_JMEI/AAAAAAAACxI/ihUbqgVbW8U/s1600-h/IMG_0790.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28lhv_JMEI/AAAAAAAACxI/ihUbqgVbW8U/s200/IMG_0790.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435604537006698562" /></a>へっぴり腰で撃ってる私です。</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28lhM0zZtI/AAAAAAAACxA/Q0WrMnY0Qvw/s1600-h/IMG_0787.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28lhM0zZtI/AAAAAAAACxA/Q0WrMnY0Qvw/s200/IMG_0787.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435604527568086738" /></a>その分、さまになってる友達。さすがだね。<br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28lgKjSS6I/AAAAAAAACww/nIFmdbUc-iE/s1600-h/IMG_0781.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28lgKjSS6I/AAAAAAAACww/nIFmdbUc-iE/s200/IMG_0781.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435604509777873826" /></a>This is how it looks like the other station.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28ooA4qZpI/AAAAAAAACx4/1fdgSdxWaNM/s1600-h/IMG_0799.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S28ooA4qZpI/AAAAAAAACx4/1fdgSdxWaNM/s200/IMG_0799.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435607943157016210" /></a>Bang bang!

I am also influenced by my bf who has a lot of passion towards to his hobbies. I thought I had a lot of hobbies too although when I thought about it, I really didn't have any hobby besides going to concerts (nothing's wrong with that!) .<br /><br />As soon as I saw a classified ad in Bridge (Japanese free magazine) about a Japanese pottery class in this early January, I immediately thought "this is IT!". I have been thinking about taking a pottery class for a long time but I just couldn't find a class who is taught by a Japanese instructor. I wanted to learn "WA (based on Japanese culture)" pottery. So, I invited a couple friends who were also interested taking a potter class as me, and just had a whole new experience yesterday. :)<br /><br />This Japanese-American instructor, Mr. Roy Kunisaki gave us a very oriented, easy-to- understand guide from the beginning which is kneading the clay. Of course, I have never done this before, so it was difficult to get it right at first, but slowly but surely with the instructor's detail explanation, I was getting it right.<br /><br />The class was held at a recreation park in San Pedro from 1:30PM to 4PM. The one-day trial class was $35 for each person (from 3rd person will be charged $30 for the group). He provides all the tools we need and clay. You only need to bring some clothes which can be messy such as an apron and a towel.<br /><br />The 2 hours and an half passed so quickly. It was very fun class which I want to take again.<br />My cup (I know it's kinda big but it's supposed to be a cup!) will be completed in a month (because of saving energy). I can't wait to get it.<br /><br />とうとう念願の陶芸のクラスを取って来ましたよ〜。2010年は絶対に何か新しいことを習うぞと目標を立てていたのですが、早くも叶うことになりましたw　多趣味の彼氏にも影響を受けて何かをやりたい！って思っていたし、私も結構趣味あるんじゃん？って思っていたのも束の間。良く考えてみたらコンサートぐらいしか趣味がない！と気が付いたんです。（別にそれはそれでいいのだ！）で、ブリッジのクラシファイド広告「陶芸をやりませんか？」を見て、「これだーー！」と思いました。<br /><br />友達何人かに声を掛けて興味ある子が２人ほど。一緒に昨日行ってきました。<br />陶芸のクラスは洋物だったら色んなところにあるんだけど、「和」の陶芸を習いたかった私は、なかなか洋の方は始められず、、、。ブリッジの広告を見た時は超嬉しかった。<br /><br />で、クラスの先生、ロイ・国崎先生はとても分かりやすく説明しながら、ハンズオンでビギナーの私達に教えてくれました。一つ一つの説明が分かりやすかったから、最初は戸惑って力任せに作っていた私も最後にはコツが分かって来て、なかなか良い作品作っちゃいました（ちょっと想像していたものよりも大きいけどねw）。<br /><br />クラスはサンペドロの丘の上のレクリエーションパークで。一日体験コースを取ったのですが、一人$35から。グループで３人以上になると３人目から$30になります。<br />道具は全部ロイ先生がプロバイドしてくれ、持参しなければいけないものは汚れてもいいエプロンとかタオルだけ。粘土もプロバイドしてくれます。<br /><br />２時間半のクラスだったんですが、とても楽しくてあっと言う間に過ぎて行きました。<br />私の湯のみは約1ヶ月後に完成予定です（燃費をセーブするため）。完成後見るのが超楽しみです！<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR-G4P5aI/AAAAAAAACvk/EOvOg9hF-xw/s1600-h/IMG_0734.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR-G4P5aI/AAAAAAAACvk/EOvOg9hF-xw/s200/IMG_0734.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433190496653534626" border="0" /></a>This is the class room.<br />教室内。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR9OogdEI/AAAAAAAACvU/aEwnmxT15Ek/s1600-h/IMG_0735.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR9OogdEI/AAAAAAAACvU/aEwnmxT15Ek/s200/IMG_0735.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433190481555125314" border="0" /></a>After I tried to make symmetrical for a couple times .<br />粘土の中心が均等になるようになるまで2−3回挑戦。<br />やっと均等になりました。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR9wbXHXI/AAAAAAAACvc/yBw9GrU-J04/s1600-h/IMG_0743.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR9wbXHXI/AAAAAAAACvc/yBw9GrU-J04/s200/IMG_0743.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433190490626792818" border="0" /></a>Left: Mine / Right: my friend's (she was getting it right from the beginning!)<br /><br />左：私の／右：まきちゃんの。まきちゃんは最初から感覚が良いと先生に褒められてましたw<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR-q60NJI/AAAAAAAACvs/JlgUjQ7Qh-Y/s1600-h/IMG_0744.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aR-q60NJI/AAAAAAAACvs/JlgUjQ7Qh-Y/s200/IMG_0744.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433190506327979154" border="0" /></a>It's supposed to be a Japanese tea cup... lol<br />It seems to be big, but after they put it in the oven,<br />it should shrink to 1/2.　(I hope it will shrink...)<br /><br />湯のみの完成〜。と言いたいんだけど、ちょっと大きい！<br />でも本焼きにした後は２分の１に縮むそうです。<br />（縮んでくれ〜！）<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-1332947200278575291?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-64720389377818832262010-01-31T22:20:00.000-08:002010-01-31T23:57:56.773-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2ZzQCVcmwI/AAAAAAAACu0/LnfEyAvMXn4/s1600-h/book_DavidWeidman_500.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 253px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2ZzQCVcmwI/AAAAAAAACu0/LnfEyAvMXn4/s320/book_DavidWeidman_500.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433156719811009282" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">01-28-10</span><br /><br />I always love the retro style, 40's-70's era cartoons / art work such as Hanna-Barbera. And this famous "Mr. Magoo", I used to watch it on the Cartoon Network a while ago when I had a cable in Pasadena. But I didn't know who created it until I bought this book "The Whimsical Works of David Weidman" by David Weidman. As soon as I saw this book at the MOMA book store, I fell in love with his art work. And I started to research who he was. He wasn't really well-known until he published this book... He is already 89 yrs old, and had worked as an artist since 40's.<br />I love his color schemes, subjects he picks, and layouts. His artwork just brings me to something sentimental, and nostalgia. I just appreciate old stuffs. :)<br /><br />I have been to <a href="http://www.weidmangallery.com/cgi-local/artwork_subcategory.cgi?s=13">his gallery</a> in West Hollywood, and they carry a lot of his art pieces. The smallest one starts from 8x8, and biggest ones... I don't know. They were pretty big. And I got something for a house warming gift who I knew she would appreciate his art as well. And then I found out Mr. Weidman was having a show in Pasadena the next day.<br /><br />I was so thrilled to meet Mr. Weidman in person at the <a href="http://www.dwr.com/">Design Within Reach</a> studio in Pasadena on last Thursday. I don't know him and his art well enough yet, although I was pretty excited just to meet him and hopefully I could get his autograph. I was also hoping I could buy one or two pieces.<br /><br />My impression of Mr. Weidman was same with how I feel towards to his art. He was very nice person and gave me a warm feeling with his humor. I think I want to collect his pieces whenever I can. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/ci_14248040">Pasadena Star News: Read here>></a><br /><br /><br />40年代から70年代に掛けてレトロなアニメや漫画が好きで、（かと言って色々聞かれても誰が作ったとかあんまり分かりませんがね）パサデナに住んでいた頃、よくケーブルの「Cartoon Network」というチャンネルで「Mr. Magoo」を含め昔のアニメを見てましたが、この「Mr. Magoo」を誰が制作したのかっていうのはDavid Weidmanだとつい最近知ったんです。知ったきっかけが最近サンフランシスコのMOMAという美術館で買った「The Whimsical Works of David Weidman」という本なのですが、もうこの本に出てくるアートが本当にかわいいんです。色使いから、コンテンツ、レイアウト、全部魅了されてしまいました。動物好きな私にとって動物の登場が多いアートは注目を引く大の理由になるんですけど（シャガールみたいにね）、これは本当にかわいい。レトロ調なのも大好き。でもこの本が出るまでそんなに知られてなかったアーティストだったみたいです。本人はもうすでに89歳。しかも40年代から活動を始めてるアーティストです。<br /><br /><a href="http://www.weidmangallery.com/cgi-local/artwork_subcategory.cgi?s=13">彼のギャラリー</a>には8x8のサイズから始まる色んなプリントがたくさん置いてあります。友達の新居祝いに一つ、絶対に喜んでくれると自信があった作品をピックし、お店の人と話をしていたら次の日木曜日に彼のショーがあると分かったんです。超興奮して、友達と早速そのパサデナにある<a href="http://www.dwr.com/">Design Within Reach</a>という家具ギャラリーへと足を運びました。<br /><br />彼の作品のこと、良くまだ分からないですがそれでも作品を見る度に胸がきゅーーんとなって、しかもその作った本人に会えるなんて、なんてラッキーなんでしょう。彼が出版した本とカメラを手に取って、「こんばんわ, David」と彼に挨拶したら、「Do I know you??」とジョークがすぐに返ってきました。作品に対するきゅーんが彼本人にもきゅーん。超かわいいおじーちゃんでした。写真も一緒に取ってもらって、サインももらって超満足です。<br /><br />作品を出来るだけ集めたいなーって思ってるけど、値段が、、高くなってます、、、。泣<br />でもそれでも少しずつ、集めて行きたいな。<br /><a href="http://www.weidmangallery.com/cgi-local/artwork_subcategory.cgi?s=13"><br /></a><a href="http://www.weidmangallery.com/cgi-local/artwork_subcategory.cgi?s=13">David Weidman Gallery: Website>></a><br /><br />David Weidman Art: <a href="http://www.weidmansart.com/">http://www.weidmansart.com/</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aGDcUdD6I/AAAAAAAACu8/fVlhPlrNFh4/s1600-h/IMG_0721.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aGDcUdD6I/AAAAAAAACu8/fVlhPlrNFh4/s320/IMG_0721.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433177394168795042" border="0" /></a>With Mr. David Weidman<br />アーティストと一緒に。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/weideman2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 203px;" src="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/weideman2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />(from <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/events/david-weidman-exhibit.html">Cartoon Brew</a>)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/weidman1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 220px;" src="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/weidman1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />(from <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/events/david-weidman-exhibit.html">Cartoon Brew</a>)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aH2Zkhq3I/AAAAAAAACvE/lt6nS_qB1V8/s1600-h/Mr+Magoo.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S2aH2Zkhq3I/AAAAAAAACvE/lt6nS_qB1V8/s320/Mr+Magoo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433179369115855730" border="0" /></a>Mr. Magoo<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mrmagooschristmascarol.com/">http://www.mrmagooschristmascarol.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-6472038937781883226?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-18733930999355855862010-01-21T21:35:00.000-08:002010-01-21T21:42:10.969-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S1k5PoEyZxI/AAAAAAAACuo/YjrIbOIPi0Q/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/S1k5PoEyZxI/AAAAAAAACuo/YjrIbOIPi0Q/s320/photo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429433766390163218" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />01-21-10<br /><br />I found this new flavor, Pina Colada Orbit gum tonight at the Target.<br />I love Pina Colada! Any type of food or drinks, if it tastes like Pina Colada, I just love it. And I don't chew a gum at home at all, but I just have to try it tonight... Mmm.. it's pretty tasty. But I think they change the quality of gum... It became a bit harder than before... I still think Orbit tastes the best out of any other gums though.<br /><br />今日、オービットガムの新フレーバー、「ピニャコラーダ」をターゲットでショッピングしてる時に発見！ピニャコラーダ味だったら何でも好きな私が気に入るでしょうか、、、。<br />家で一切ガムは噛まないこの私が今体験〜。ん〜おいしいね〜。<br />オービットガムはガム王国の中で一番おいしいと思いますw　ただ最近なんか質が固くなってきてしまったような気がするのは私だけでしょうか．．．。<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-1873393099935585586?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-57344970174821952192010-01-12T18:40:00.000-08:002010-01-13T23:45:37.357-08:00<object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i6N0sNMKFO4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i6N0sNMKFO4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">01-09-10</span><br /><br />I always love Rufus Wainwright and his strong voice structure, how he sings. I don't know when and how I met his songs in my past but I've been wanting to see his show for a long time.<br /><br />I thought I would see his show in Manchester last July since I thought I read an article he would be in the International Festival there however, he only produced the opera "Prima Donna", not himself in it. (I heard it is a good show though so whenever the opera comes, I totally want to see it) But, finally on last Saturday, January 9th, I finally got to see him, and listened to his great voice, and left the theatre with content, and amazed feeling.<br /><br />His voice is something you can't forget about. When you hear it, you know it's him immediately. He got operatic voice that gives me a goose bumps. It's just so beautiful, awesome and so talented...　Probably he doesn't even need microphone to sing because his voice is so strong. His instruments were only piano and guitar. No background orchestra or band to play with because piano and guitar was enough.<br /><br />Actually, he got a good sense of humor as well that it was also fun show. I have to see his show again. :) My concert year, 2010 just opened up with a great music.<br /><br />今年一番のコンサートへ行ってきましたよ〜。アーティストはRufus Wainwright。１月９日にロングビーチのテラスシアターという大きいな劇場で見て来たのですが、彼の声はこれまたすごい。彼にしか出来ない声の出し方であり、一度聴いたら忘れられないのではないでしょうか。<br /><br />彼の音楽にいつ巡り会ったかどうかはさだかではないですが、この日を待っていたんです！いつも彼のショーに行きたいと思いつつも何か用事があったり、ロスにいなかったり、、、去年の夏、マンチェスターにいた時にちょうどポスターで彼の名前を見て、ついに見れる！と思っても彼がプロデュースしたオペラ「プリマドンナ」だったり、、、<br />だから今回のショーは超興奮。あの素晴らしい歌声を生で聴けるのは本当に感動した。食いつくように、瞬きも忘れるぐらい、じーっくり聴きました。あーもう超満足。あの声はマイクもいらないぐらいの力強さ。使った楽器はピアノにギター。それだけ。超シンプルにオーケストラとか引き連れないで、これで十分だと思った。<br />しかも、彼の話も面白い。結構笑えるんです。他の観客（老若男女、ストレート、ゲイ、なんでもござれ！って感じだったな）も十分に満足してショーを楽しんでいたみたい。もちろん、一緒に行っためぐっぺとオイくんもね。<br />一緒にわざわざロングビーチまで行ってくれて嬉しかったよ〜。<br /><br />Rufus Wainwright: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufus_Wainwright" target="_blank">Wiki</a><br />Rufus Wainwright: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rufuswainwright" target="_blank">Myspace</a><br />Rufus Wainwright: <a href="http://www.rufuswainwright.com/" target="_blank">Official Website</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.longbeachcc.com/mainmenu.asp" target="-blank"><br />Terrace Theatre</a><br />300 East Ocean Boulevard<br />Long Beach, CA 90802-4825<br />(562) 436-3661<br /><br /><br />"Grey Gardens" - This is one of my favorite songs.:)<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cdvne96nrzs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cdvne96nrzs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />"Gay Messiah"<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SyUjk20fAHM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SyUjk20fAHM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />"Hallelujah" - a beautiful song<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mmbQEQltOwM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mmbQEQltOwM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-5734497017482195219?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-11063684338176782222009-12-21T20:20:00.000-08:002009-12-21T20:40:03.583-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SzBJUJvQFAI/AAAAAAAACt8/cWOnOHfcU40/s1600-h/photo%285%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SzBJUJvQFAI/AAAAAAAACt8/cWOnOHfcU40/s320/photo%285%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417910962287023106" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">12-21-09</span><br /><br />Every morning, I always fix my bed before I leave my house to get to my work or wherever.<br />But these few weeks, I started to notice someone makes his own bed around my pillow area and being comfy. Who is doing this?<br /><br />I think I found the "guy" the other day. He came out from the darkness when I came back home. The spot was still warm, and the another cat, Olive was sleeping on my desk chair.<br /><br />Nash knows how to make his own bed... :) And he loves to be warm in front of heater, in the sun, and... in my bed too now. What a cutie...<br /><br />出かける前に必ずベッドを直して仕事などに行く私ですが、最近、なんか枕周辺の辺りが丸くなって誰かが寝てる形跡を見つけます。いつも誰だろう、、、犯人は誰だ？？って思ってたんだけど、多分その犯人を見つけました。<br /><br />先日、暗闇からのっそりとナッシュが出てきて、ベッドを見るといつもの丸い形跡が。<br />オリーブかもと思って確認したら、オリーブはデスクのいすに丸くなって寝てた。ほほ〜、ナッシュだったのか、犯人は。ふふ。かわいいな〜。<br /><br />いたずら大好きナッシュも暖かいのが大好きw　ヒーターも好き、日向ぼっこも好き、そして私のベッドの中でも暖かいスポットを見つけたみたいだねww<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SzBNLonYryI/AAAAAAAACuE/PdfR89orX2s/s1600-h/photo%284%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SzBNLonYryI/AAAAAAAACuE/PdfR89orX2s/s320/photo%284%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417915214003220258" border="0" /></a>I love you, Nash! :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-1106368433817678222?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-3507527402463646982009-11-30T20:11:00.002-08:002009-11-30T21:30:49.709-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SxSYxkX7PPI/AAAAAAAACtA/oJcxcrIJj18/s1600/photo%282%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SxSYxkX7PPI/AAAAAAAACtA/oJcxcrIJj18/s320/photo%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410117029723847922" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">11-25-09</span><br /><br />We just had another exciting Simian Mobile Disco (British DJ - Electro House) duo night in Los Angeles. At this time, they held a great music at the <a href="http://www.clubmayan.com/web07/main.htm">Mayan</a> in downtown LA. The sounds was great, and their new album was awesome although the crowds were different from last time at Henry Fonda. It seems like we had more younger crowd this time. As usual, Meg and I were standing right in front of the stage to feel great energy of the artists however, we got too much energy from teenagers who were around us... Was it just because we are just getting old or SMD is getting really popular..? I think it's ... both... Sigh... I could had handle better if this was a year ago...<br /><br />"When you are in younger crowds, you have to know (or remember) what you'll get in to. If you think you can't handle it, just get out of it before you hurt yourself or hurt them..."<br />When I think of this, I thought to myself "OMG... I'm getting really old..." lol<br /><br />Anyway, the show was great. However, this might be the last time to go to electronica show, at least for this year. I would love to go and see any cool bands however I am not sure if I can handle younger ones anymore, sadly...<br /><br />シミアン、またロスに来ましたよ〜！今回はダウンタウンにある、マイアンシアターで行われました。ここは前回のヘンリーフォンダと同じぐらいの規模ですが、個人的な意見としては家からも近いということで、フォンダの方が好きかな。。。というか今回も超イケてる音楽で私達をノリノリにさせてくれたシミアンでしたが、今回の観客、若い若い！いつものように、めぐっぺと最前列陣とってたけど、若い者に押され、髪の毛振り乱された時にこっちの顔にかかるわ、足は踏まれるわ。。。で、途中まで踏ん張ってみたけど、イライラしながらショーを見るより、安全なところに避難して安心しながら見た方がよいとやーっと思い始め、<br />若い群衆から離れたところでほっと一息つきながら、ビールを片手に。。。<br /><br />なんか最近、「若者は。。。」という記事を書くようになって（恥ずかしながら）、これはもう年なんでしょうかね。。。ってか年だって気づけよ！って感じですけどね（苦笑）<br />１年前ぐらいまでだったらこんなのなんとも思ってなかったような気がするけど、最近はもう。。。多分エレクトロニカ系はこれで（少なくとも今年は）最後かなー。<br />気が向けばだけど、インディーロック系でこれから攻めたいと思います。<br /><br />まーこんな感想になっちゃいましたが、肝心のSMDの音楽は相変わらず素晴らしかった！やっぱり若者からこんなおばちゃんまでノリノリにさせてくれるからね。新しいアルバム「<span style="font-style: italic;">Temporary Pleasure」</span><span>もいいしね！</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/simianmobiledisco">Simian Mobile Disco: Myspace</a><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simian_Mobile_Disco">Simian Mobile Disco: Wiki</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.clubmayan.com/web07/main.htm">Mayan Theatre</a><br /><br />Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions　(it's pretty interesting video...)<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HIofSxwkkQE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HIofSxwkkQE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Simian Mobile Disco - Audacity of Huge<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ylu0ybj7DIg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ylu0ybj7DIg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Simian Mobile Disco Synthesise<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/k8J4Qzt7sso&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/k8J4Qzt7sso&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Simian Mobile Disco - It's The Beat<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TdPKYfvrxUQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TdPKYfvrxUQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SxSfuGs_i9I/AAAAAAAACtQ/UwrLkzn0qwM/s1600/photo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

And they even had a tour with the Shins in 2007 (I didn't get to go that one...). Because why don't I know this band?? I just got to know about their brand new song "Cousin" through MTV.com today... Shame shame shame... Somehow the vocalist got my attention by his interesting fashion and look, so I had to check it out. I'm glad I got to know them. They got some pretty good overall sound (indie pop) and a little of touch of Dance Punk sometimes. I like'em. If you like Arctic Monkeys or Foals (I know they are a bit different from each other), you probably like them too.<br /><br />Now they are coming to Los Angeles in January, 2010. I'm pretty sure I will check'em out. And their new album "Contra" will be released in Jan 12th 2010. I'm looking forward to it.<br /><br />NY出身Vampire Weekendというバンドがデビューしてから既に３年。The Shinsとツアーを2007年に組んでたくらい知ってていいはずなのに、 なぜか今日までこのバンド知らなかった。彼らの新曲「Cousin」が出て間もないみたいでMTV.comで紹介されており、このボーカルのファッションとルックスがちょっと興味を引いたもんで、チェックしてみたくなったという訳です。いつものごとく新曲、新バンドはMyspaceでチェック。むむむー、なかなか良いではないの！最初はちょっとKROQぽい音でメジャー受けしそうだな、、って思ってたけど（メジャー受けを狙う音は好まないです）、へ〜ちょっと気に入っちゃったよ。Arctic MonkeysとかFoalsが好きだったら気に入るかな（お互いちょっと違いますけどね、、、）。Indie Pop好きだったら絶対と思う！（そこまでプッシュしちゃう？）<br /><br />来年の１月にロスに来るみたい。なので、多分というかほとんど９８％行くだろうな。その時はまたレポートします〜。新しいCD「Contra」は来年2010年1月１２日に出るそうです。楽しみだ〜〜。<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/vampireweekend"><br />Vampire Weekend: Myspace</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_Weekend">Vampire Weekend: Wiki</a><br /><br />Vampire Weekend - "Cousins" (Official Music Video)<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e0u11rgd9Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e0u11rgd9Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Vampire Weekend - "Mansard Roof"<br /><object height="265" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JlgNFwoApec&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JlgNFwoApec&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="265" width="320"></embed></object><br /><br />Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P_i1xk07o4g&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P_i1xk07o4g&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-9084657032587927236?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-81076978075916822172009-10-10T11:32:00.000-07:002009-10-10T12:19:51.765-07:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LQOViWlIQoc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LQOViWlIQoc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">10-07-09</span><br /><br />My concert buddies, Meg, Gabu chan, and I went to Henry Fonda to see Fever Ray on this Wednesday. If you know the Knife, the vocalist Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson formed this band, Fever Ray as her solo band in 2009. She got very characteristic voice and unique sounds that she holds a lot of fans. And this night was obviously sold out.<br /><br />I am always curious the opening band as well to find out what's new, and who's hot for me. And Gabu chan sent me the YouTube link of Nosaj Thing. It was the opening band for Fever Ray. And this guy is pretty pretty good.<br /><br />I checked the songs before I went to the show, and as soon as his show started I was surprised he was an Asian guy. Since Fever Ray is from Sweden, Nosaj Thing is also Swedish too. (His name sounds Swedish too, no? lol)<br /><br />But all the music he mixes and plays sound sooo good. It sounds so pure, and beautiful.<br /><br />And I got a special bonus to myself. I found out Nosaj Thing is my friend's friend and I have hung out with him for a few times... I didn't know he creates music like this but I am very happy to find out a friend with a great talent is in a circle of my life. :)<br /><br />今週の水曜日、ヘンリーフォンダにてFever Ray と　Nosaj Thingを観に行って来ました。<br />The Knifeをご存知の方はお分かりかと思われますが、このボーカル、Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson がソロデビューし、ソロバンド名がFever Rayです。彼女の歌声にとても特徴があり、私はそれに魅了されて観に行った訳ですが、Fever Rayよりも興奮したのが彼女の前座、Nosaj Thing. いつも前座もチェックするのが私の楽しみで、良いバンドを発見できるので、興奮します。<br /><br />で、今回の前座、Nosaj Thingを見た時、ちょっと驚いたのが、Fever Rayはスウェーデンだし、名前からしてスウェーデンとかなのかなーなんて思ってたら、なんとアジア人。しかもなんかちょっと友達に似てる．．．んー、まさかねー．．．って思いながら見てました。彼が作る音、、、綺麗で、ピュアで、なんか切ないところもある。めぐっぺと二人でこちらのほうに夢中になりましたw　ごめんね、FeverRay.私はThe Knifeの方が好きだ．．．。<br /><br />で、後日彼を知ってそうな友達にまさかと思いつつ、訊いてみたら、やはりNosaj Thingは私の友達の友達, Jasonだった！あのおとなしい彼がNosaj Thingだったとは、超驚きだし、嬉しい。こんなすごい才能を持つ人が私の友達の輪の中に入っているということは素晴らしいことです。今度は彼のショーを観に行きたいです。<br /><br />The song above is "Aquarium" by Nosaj Thing.<br /><br />Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/nosajthing">Nosaj Thing</a><br />Myspace: <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/feverray">Fever Ray</a><br /><br /><br />Nosaj Thing - IOIO<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A31b46DJO4I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A31b46DJO4I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Flying Lotus - Camel (nosaj thing remix)<br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q7C3slwCNsE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q7C3slwCNsE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Nosaj Thing - Fog<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNV3oYIkepU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNV3oYIkepU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />This is Nosaj Thing<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a8TinehnrCo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a8TinehnrCo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-8107697807591682217?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-86782977344214922952009-10-06T00:20:00.001-07:002009-10-06T01:00:12.966-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Ssrv_n0VmRI/AAAAAAAACrA/muhHkoloNDw/s1600-h/photo%286%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Ssrv_n0VmRI/AAAAAAAACrA/muhHkoloNDw/s320/photo%286%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389383780401518866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">10-4-09</span><br /><br />I finally found Burrata cheese at my neighborhood super market, Gelson's.<br />Gelson's is kind of a luxury, high-end super market but I know I won't find it at<br />my local Ralph's or Vons...

He even made a pizza sauce from scratch! It was amazing.<br /><br />この間言っていたBurrataチーズを近所の高級スーパーマーケット、Gelson'sで見つけました。<br />最初、違うチーズを買うつもりで行ったのですが、目的のチーズの隣に似たようなパッケージのチーズがあるので、「あれ、これかな」と思って手にとったのが、運命！一人で「おおおおお〜〜！見つけた！」と自分に聴こえる程度で叫んでみましたw　超嬉しかったw<br /><br />実は今回は2回目で１回目はランチクラブで即席ピザでこのチーズを使用。自分の中では好評w。パートナーにも気に入ってもらえたら良いんだけど。<br /><br />で、今回は最近仲良くしているDaveと一緒にピザ作り。彼は結構料理を知っていてピザソースまで最初から作ってくれましたw　も〜どれもおいしい！なかなかの腕前ですw<br />ただこのピザに名前を付けるとしたら〜なんて言って付けてもらったのですが「Burrata Margherita Pizza」だそうで、、、そのまんまやないかいっ！<br />ピザの具はピザソースに、トマト、バジル（ここまでMargherita)、で、生ハムにBurrata cheese...　ん〜、もうちょっと工夫しようよ、、、って言いそうになったけど、「ま、いっか！」で流したよ、、、<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Ssrx3FbSerI/AAAAAAAACrI/nZoTgz0GmvQ/s1600-h/photo%288%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 218px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Ssrx3FbSerI/AAAAAAAACrI/nZoTgz0GmvQ/s320/photo%288%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389385832753953458" border="0" /></a>This is how it comes with in package.<br />こうやって売られてました。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Ssr1qqmj-AI/AAAAAAAACro/_hM5Dijm6eI/s1600-h/photo%2810%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Ssr1qqmj-AI/AAAAAAAACro/_hM5Dijm6eI/s200/photo%2810%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389390017441560578" border="0" /></a>This is the 1st casual pizza.

I am not sure but I know it's really hot for end of August. My cats they don't have an appetite. Poor things...<br /><br />I put 3 fans basically for cats.

I just don't have enough time to write about my trip in Europe... But I know some people are waiting for me to write. So I just decided to write one by one. I was trying to write whole thing, that's why I gave a pressure to myself. No good.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anyway, back to Europe trip. One of events I really wanted to do during the stay in London was to see Banksy's street art. I love his concept, his sarcasm (not in all of them though), humor and twisted mind. I don't see much street art which impresses me but his art is different.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">His art exhibition in Bristol (It takes about 2 hours to North West from London by train) was free to enter, and he provided a LOT of art pieces. At the Bristol Museum, they had his art on 1st floor. And we thought it was it and on 2nd and 3rd floor, they had something else. However, as we forwarded ourselves to another floor, we started to notice something different, something that they seem like they don't belong there and it says "Local Artist" on tags. Hmm... Something doesn't look right... And later on we figured out the "Local Artist" WAS Banksy.</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> The reason why it says "Local Artist" was that's where he is from! :D</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> This exhibition will last til August 31st. If any of you are planning to go to London, please take extra trip to go to Bristol, and see his exhibition. You won't regret it!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">BTW, this city, Bristol was really cute little cozy town. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> We thought it was like San Fransisco. </span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.banksy.co.uk/">Banksy Official Website>></a><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://visitbristol.co.uk/">Bristol Tourism Website>></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">最近、毎日がめちゃくちゃ忙しいです。ブログにヨーロッパ旅行のこと超書きたいのに、そんな時間がない！！毎日毎日色んなことやらなくちゃいけなくて、目紛しいんだけど、ありがたい人生送ってると思います。忙しいのは好きだからねw</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">でもブログにこの旅行のこと全部書きたくてまとめて書こうとするからプレッシャーになって出来てないんだわと</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">思って、１個づつ書こうと思います。そしたら楽かな。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">まずは前回の続き。Blurのコンサート日の次の日、Bristolっていう街に行ってきました。Bristolはロンドンから電車で北西に向かって約２時間かかるところにあるんですが、ここには私の好きなストリートアーティスト、Banksyのアートショーがやってました。旅行に行く前にこのショーのことを教えてくれたじゅんちゃんに感謝！めぐっぺと超楽しんだよww</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">　(BanksyはBristol出身らしい。だからBristolでやってたのねw）</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">彼のアートの何が好きかっていうと、ちょっと反権力主義的にひねくれた考え方、ユーモア、リサイクルされた考え方（壁のシミを利用して自分のアートにしちゃうとか）でしょうか。普通のストリートアーティスト（グラフィティ系）かと思いきや、絵がめちゃくちゃ上手い！すごいです。目の前で彼のアートを観た時、結構感動しました。</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">しかもパンフ読んでたらメトロポリタンや大英博物館に無断で自分のアートを展示しちゃったりするゲリラ行為もすると書いてあって、超興味深いアーティストでもあります。（詳しくはウィキ読んでみて↓面白いよ）</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">このBristol Museum, 入場無料だったのですが、3階立てで1階に彼のアートがぎっしり。なので、彼の作品展示は1階だけかと思ってたら、2階にも3階にもちらほら。最初は気がつきませんでした。だって、タグには「Local Artist」しか書いてないし、周りのアートとちょっと溶け込んでいた感じのもあり、最初は結構スルーしてた。でも途中から「これ、こんなところにあったら絶対におかしい」というのを発見して。。。そこからというもの、彼の作品を見つけては笑ったり、感心したり。。。超面白かったです。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">もしロンドンに行く予定がある人はぜひブリストルも計画に入れてください。このショーは今年の8月31日で終わっちゃうけど、行ったら必ず楽しめると思う！後悔しませんよー。</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">超かわいいんだから！なんかサンフランシスコみたい。かわいいお店もたくさんあったり、ローカルの味がとても出てました。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">んー。。。どうしてもやっぱり文章長くなっちゃうわ。。簡潔にどうして書けないもんかね。。。</span><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.banksy.co.uk/">Banksy 公式サイト>></a><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://visitbristol.co.uk/">ブリストルの公式サイト>></a><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%90%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC">Banksyについて　ウィキ>></a><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SnKNg4H9LdI/AAAAAAAACpw/KH9XAX-Zejs/s1600-h/DSCF1972.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SnKNg4H9LdI/AAAAAAAACpw/KH9XAX-Zejs/s320/DSCF1972.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364505702112767442" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is the art we thought it was odd to see something we didn't expect it to be in art... if you know what I mean.. ;P</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">これこれ、これを観て、、、「ん？何かおかしい、、、」</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SnKExzmSbFI/AAAAAAAACpg/Q00o2C5n6V4/s1600-h/DSCF1910.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SnKExzmSbFI/AAAAAAAACpg/Q00o2C5n6V4/s320/DSCF1910.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364496097350937682" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Is that what American people feel towards to donuts???</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ドーナツ好きなアメリカ人ってこんな気持ちなのかなー。</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SnKAvNCUteI/AAAAAAAACpQ/46PdhDsGgno/s1600-h/DSCF1944.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SnKAvNCUteI/AAAAAAAACpQ/46PdhDsGgno/s320/DSCF1944.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364491654593295842" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It's like Millet's paiting. haha.

The main reason to be in Europe, especially in London was Blur concert. Since they were reunited and we got to know they were having some shows in London, we finally made a decision to go there. It was unusual but great trip that we decided to see a band first and got air plain tickets next...<br /><br />We stayed in London for 5 days. We did a general sight seeing such as Big Ben, the Parliament, London Bridge, Baker Street, Harrods, the Buckingham Palace, Fish n' Chips, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, blah blah blah. You will see some pics below... But the most memorable thing we did was of course Blur in Hyde Park and the street artist, Banksy exhibition in Bristol.<br />We love Banksy's art that we even walked in London and looked for the art. We thought we would find 2 of them, but we couldn't find what we were looking for. However we found some another art from him. We were so happy to find it!<br /><br />友達のめぐっぺと２週間のヨーロッパ旅行、行って来ましたよ〜。この旅行を二人で決心した理由は何て言ったってBlur。Blurが再結成、ロンドンでコンサートをする！という宣伝をめぐっぺが見つけて「ロンドン行きたいねー」とは言ってたけど、なかなか決心が付いていなかったその時、その宣伝を見つけてしまったという訳です。通常の逆、「コンサートのチケット購入」＞「ロンドン行きの飛行機チケット購入」を私達はやってしまいました。<br /><br />２週間といえど、とても短く感じられたこの旅行、お笑いもあり、感動あり、そして高い「学費」を払ったりなどなど、思い出深い旅行になりました。いつも皆が行くビッグベン、国会議事堂、ロンドンブリッジ、ベイカーストリート、ハロッヅ、バッキンガム宮殿、フィッシュアンドチップス、ストーンヘンジ、ウィンドサー城、などなど色々と行きましたが、やっぱり感動ものだったのはBlurのコンサートに、Bristolというロンドンから電車で2時間ぐらい離れた町でやっていたストリートアーティスト、Banksyのショかな。私達は彼のアートの大ファンで、ロンドンの街中でも見たい！ということで調べて探し歩きました、、、。でもやっとこさ、見つかったのはたったの１つ。消されちゃったのかなー。でも見つかっただけでも良かった！<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SmQSO5q0PEI/AAAAAAAAClA/oViE717hcX4/s1600-h/DSCF1491.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SmQSO5q0PEI/AAAAAAAAClA/oViE717hcX4/s320/DSCF1491.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360429503685606466" border="0" /></a>In front of Buckingham Palace with English Police men.<br />バッキンガム宮殿で警察官とw。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SmQYu1eOe9I/AAAAAAAAClI/FCRu7A6sObg/s1600-h/DSCF1475.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SmQYu1eOe9I/AAAAAAAAClI/FCRu7A6sObg/s320/DSCF1475.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360436649384639442" border="0" /></a>At Hyde Park.

I didn't know too much about this film but some friends of mine recommended me so my date (hehe) and I went to see it. It was amazing, magnificent film.<br /><br />Just in case if you don't know what the film is about (from IMDB):<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />"Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki) is a devoted cellist in an orchestra that has just been dissolved and now finds himself without a job. Daigo decides to move back to his old hometown with his wife to look for work and start over. He answers a classified ad entitled "Departures" thinking it is an advertisement for a travel agency only to discover that the job is actually for a "Nokanshi" or "encoffineer," a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and entry into the next life. While his wife and others despise the job, Daigo takes a certain pride in his work and begins to perfect the art of "Nokanshi," acting as a gentle gatekeeper between life and death, between the departed and the family of the departed. The film follows his profound and sometimes comical journey with death as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life and living." </span><br /><br />This film had funny parts here and there although it made me cry so much as well. Because of the death, because of the family bond, because of the love, because of the comprehension... I can't really describe in one word about this film...<br /><br />As I discussed about this film with my date, since he was an American, he saw this film in different direction a bit. He didn't understand why Daigo's wife and his friend treated Daigo's job as unclean and improper and wanted him to quit his job.<br /><br />Here is the part people needs to know a little bit of Japanese culture/history a bit. In our culture, we used to have the social lowest class who deal with dead body. I don't feel proper to say the particular word here since it sounds very discriminated however, the mind "to deal with dead body" = "unclean" still exists. But the time has been gone and our mind has been changed more liberal. I think this film shows this particular occupation from different point of view, and make us realize they are the one to help to relieve their death to another world in their best condition.<br /><br />People thinks and treats the death different which depends on how they were related to the person who died. However, I think no matter who they were or how they were related, death is death. They deserve to have a love.<br /><br />Over all, the actors in the film did a great job. I think every one of them got the perfect roll. I am satisfied with this film. (did you know the main guy, Masahiro Motoki used to be an idol? hehe)<br /><br />アカデミー外国映画賞受賞の「おくりびと」を昨日観に行ってきました。友達に勧められて、デートと一緒に観に行ってきたわけですがこれは泣けた、泣けた。面白くて笑ってしまう部分もたくさんあったのですが、家族愛、別れ、偏見から理解に変わる瞬間、色々と心に来るものがたくさんあって、号泣でした。<br /><br />あ、まだ映画を観てない方に。。。：ウィキペディア「おくりびと」<a href="http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%8A%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8A%E3%81%B3%E3%81%A8">あらすじはこちら>></a><br /><br />しかし、この映画について彼と意見を交わしていたところ、彼にとって分からないところが一つ。なぜ「納棺師」が汚い仕事なのか。なぜ偏見を持たないといけないのか。ここが分からなかったそうです。彼はアメリカ人でこっちでは死体を扱う仕事は別に汚い仕事としては考えていないそうで、日本の文化、歴史が分からないと主人公、大悟の妻が発する「汚らわしい」や友人が「もっとましな仕事つけや」などの台詞はその発した人物を悪者扱いさせると<br />言っていました。なるほど、、、考えなかった。観客のほとんどはアメリカ人でしたがその部分、皆同じこと思ったのかな、、、。彼の場合、結構日本の文化を知っている人なので、私が昔、差別的階級が存在していてそこから「汚らわしい」という考えが来てると思うと説明したら（まーそれだけじゃないけどね。臭いとかもあるし、、、）「あ、その階級知ってる」とびっくり発言。そこまでなかなか外人知らんぞ、、、。とま〜、面白い会話が出来た訳ですが、この映画、色々と考えさせられる映画で超気に入りました。もっくん含め、皆自分の役が超ハマっていたと思う。観て良かった〜。まだ観てない人はぜひ。<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SjX24-TKF1I/AAAAAAAACkw/63ErjZX8G4s/s1600-h/Picture+6.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SjX24-TKF1I/AAAAAAAACkw/63ErjZX8G4s/s320/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347451591228790610" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />FYI..

This indie rock band is based mostly on acoustic. Their melody coming from acoustic is so beautiful. I think I found them accidentally on my iTunes, and I was like "aw, I didn't know I had this song" and listened and fell in love. Luckly, they are coming to Los Angeles on this Friday at the Wiltern. It's sold-out show, and we got tickets kind of late so we got Mezzanine seats... :( I hate Mezzanine.. I feel like I am not included to the show being up there.. But I know we will definitely enjoy their live music. (After we got the mezzanine tickets, we found out they are also going to play at the Troubadour!

I knew you were gonna do some crazy show like every time! You did it again!! I told my concert buddy, Meg about my prediction and I was right.<br /><br />We were at 2nd row from the stage to see the craziness. But the craziness didn't stay only on stage. It happened on us too!! After she showed up with a mask and funky pink jacket on, sang one song. And next song (sorry, I don't remember what song it was), she walked, dived and walked again on us. That was crazy. Not only walked us, she spurted out some gore on us too.. I got some bloody ink on my T-shirt... eeeeek! I hope it'll come off.<br /><br />Because of the crazy start, it put some fire on the fans (excuse me... not literally). More people tried to come to front, people were dancing and pushing around... Meg and I were separated because of that.<br />I stayed at the front row but I felt like I was in the train on rush hour in Tokyo. I felt bad to the girls in front me because people pushed me, my body had to push them... And on top of it, I had to be pushed to some guy's armpit... and he wasn't smell... that good... Did he put any deodrant?? I didn't think so... :(<br />But.. I like this kind of craziness. haha!! Great songs, beat and good-crazy show, Peaches!<br /><br /><br />来た来た来た〜〜〜、The Peaches!! 毎回行くたびに驚くようなことをしてくれるPeaches. 今回で３回目か4回目ですが、前回は2階から突然の登場、今回はレスリングマスクとユニフォーム、そしてファンキーなピンクのジャケットで登場。そしてマスクの下にはいつもだったらカーリーな髪のはずがストレートになってチェンジしてました。そこで別に驚いた訳ではないんですが、ええええ〜〜〜！とうちらを驚かせたのがPeaches,うちらの上を歩こうとしてるでないの！ちょっと歩いて立ち上がったと思ったらうちらの群がりにダイブ！これでファンは大盛り上がり、大興奮！！もっと見たいという人達が前へ前へと押し寄せてきて、私と一緒に見に来ためぐっぺははぐれるハメに。。。どこにいる？？と頭をくるりと後ろに向けるような状況ではなかったです。まるで東京の通勤ラッシュ。私はもう本当にステージの前にいたから<br />後ろからどんどんと押される押される。。。前にいた女の子をも押す形になってしまって、申し訳なかった。。。しかも私が押される目の前にはちょうど良く、頼んでもいないのに、男性の脇が！しかも脇から汗のにおいまでしてくれちゃっています。。。あ〜〜ん、これはひどかった。。。<br /><br />そして驚きはダイブだけでは終わらなかった。。。血糊を吹き出したり、股間周辺にストラップを付けて何をするのかと思ったら、いきなりLEDの光がぴかぴかなったり。。。<br />他にも色々あったんだけどまー色々な人が読んでいるということであんまりここでは書けないっす。Peaches=セクシャルとだけ書いておきましょうか。。。そんなのがたくさん起きた訳です。笑<br /><br />最後、ぐたーと疲れたけど、こんなパフォーマンスを見せてくれるのはPeachesぐらいしかいない！こういう楽しいクレイジネスなのはいつでも大歓迎！！<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sixby9dHmSI/AAAAAAAACkY/7RIRAx1wHZI/s1600-h/DSCF1233.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 187px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sixby9dHmSI/AAAAAAAACkY/7RIRAx1wHZI/s320/DSCF1233.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344747788830218530" border="0" /></a>All of the members showed up with Wrestler masks and uniforms.<br />全メンバー、レスリングのマスクとユニフォームを着て登場。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sixay__binI/AAAAAAAACkI/dXJenVTIcC8/s1600-h/DSCF1247.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 189px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sixay__binI/AAAAAAAACkI/dXJenVTIcC8/s320/DSCF1247.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344746689999374962" border="0" /></a>This is Peaches aka Merill after she took her mask off.<br />Peachesことメリル。マスク取った後ね。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sixay-hAlyI/AAAAAAAACkQ/42J2Wrww3-E/s1600-h/DSCF1252.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 187px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sixay-hAlyI/AAAAAAAACkQ/42J2Wrww3-E/s320/DSCF1252.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344746689603344162" border="0" /></a>She sang one song from the new album "I Feel Cream" .<br />新アルバム「I Feel Cream」から最初の１曲目。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SixaIiFC_sI/AAAAAAAACjg/fWHsuq_r7Z0/s1600-h/DSCF1254.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 187px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SixaIiFC_sI/AAAAAAAACjg/fWHsuq_r7Z0/s320/DSCF1254.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344745960415362754" border="0" /></a>Holy sh*@!

It's ok, I'm getting extra cash and save some money for the next trip.<br /><br />Since my dad asked me to make some shirts, I went to my friends' house in vallery who has those equipments and printed.

Uhh, nice! I found a new band again!! :D I was reading "News" in their website, and found out such a cute illustration which is a re-creation from the album cover. The winner</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> of the competition was Irene Nicholas. Very nice! I love the illustration a lot. <a href="http://www.fanfarlo.com/news">Read the article>></a><br /><br />Can't wait till they are coming to Los Angeles!!</span><br /><br />今日またthe Sixty Oneを聴いていたら、ロンドン出身の「Fanfarlo」というバンドを見つけました。なんかArcade Fire と少しClap Your Hands Say Yeahに似てる感じのインディーポップバンドです。なんか歌い方が素朴でいい感じ。こういうの大好きです。<br />ウィキを読んでたら、なんとこのバンド、今年の２月にデビューアルバム「<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_%28album%29" title="Reservoir (album)">Reservoir</a>」を出してるじゃないですか。ほほ〜〜、また新人バンド発見！！るんるん♪いいね、いいね〜。<br />しかも、こんなかわいらしいイラストもサイトで見つけた。アルバムカバーのre-creationなのだそうだ。これはコンペから勝った優勝者の作品らしいです（Irene Nicholas）。なんと素敵なイラスト。。。これまた好き！バンドの音に合ってる〜。<br />早くロスにも来ないかな〜〜。<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanfarlo">Wikipedia: Fanfarlo>></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.fanfarlo.com/">Fanfarlo official website>></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/fanfarlo">Myspace: Fanfarlo>></a><br /><br />Fanfarlo - Harold T.

Well, I downloaded the template from <a href="http://wordpress.org/">Word Press</a> but I wanted to install into my server, re-modify the design a bit and create my own. I am not familiar with PHP program but finally I made it!! Woo Hoo!! I am happy I accomplished something. :)<br /><br />As for contents... I will see how far I can go with it. I would like to put some inspired design (not only about web/print graphic design), some code/design technique + information that it will be helpful someone out there and myself, and notepad type of thing for myself.<br /><br />What a nerd I am... Spending week nights, and some weekends to create my own blog.. lol<br />Hey, if you noticed anything on my blog, please let me know (like error page etc...).<br />I am still trying to figure some parts out but any of your help will be appreciated!<br /><br />やっと！！自分のデザインブログを作ったよ。あまり大したことはありませんが、、、だって色んなテンプレートの中から自分が気に入ったテンプレートを<a href="http://wordpress.org/">Word Press</a>っていうブログ会社から探し出してダウンロードしただけですからね。でもダウンロードした後がちょっと試行錯誤。自分のサーバーに入れて、デザインなど自分の好きなようにするにはカスタマイズが必要で、、、汗　管理人ページの中ではまだまだエラーページが登場します、、、えーん。<br />でもまーここまで出来たからね。嬉しいよ〜♪<br /><br />内容と言えばですが、、、自分で良いなと思ったデザイン（ウェブとかプリントデザインに関係なくね）、自分のための勉強になるようなコードテクやデザインテク（他の人のためにもなれればいいな）、他は、、ま〜メモパッドのような役割もきっと果たすことになるでしょう。<br />他の人にはつまんないけどね。<br /><br />でも平日もたまには週末も出かけないでこんなことしてる最近の私、、、。大丈夫かね〜。笑<br /><br />ま〜つまらんブログですが、これから宜しく☆ まだまだ建築中なところもありますが、何か気がついたら教えてね。<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yukoshiozaki.com/blog">http://www.yukoshiozaki.com/blog</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-456537240047744130?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-65212151636064183502009-05-02T13:11:00.001-07:002009-05-02T14:02:03.803-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SfypyFAaMOI/AAAAAAAACgI/7zMMxEHWNjo/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 275px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SfypyFAaMOI/AAAAAAAACgI/7zMMxEHWNjo/s320/Picture+4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331322736702271714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">05-02-09</span><br /><br />I have found this website it's called "The Sixy One" <a href="http://www.thesixtyone.com/">http://www.thesixtyone.com</a> quite a while ago, but this website is becoming my route/source of indie music (very indie sometimes) now. I find bands from who just made their debut the other day to some bands that I already know about and have been known quite sometimes now which I think it's very cool (ah, did you know to use "cool" is not cool anymore? Those "hip star" peeps use "deck" instead of "cool". "Cool" is dead now! lol) and I'm pretty stoked that I met this website.<br />You can find almost any type of music too. Like Alternative, Electronica, to Hip-Hop, or Pop.<br /><br />The other day, I found "<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.violamusicclub.com">Viola</a>", "<a href="http://www.myspace.com/133439871">Fresh Body Shop</a>", and "<a href="http://www.myspace.com/codesintheclouds">Codes in the Clouds</a>". I think they are pretty good. And I can't forget <a href="http://www.myspace.com/stateshirt">State Shirt</a>....<br /><br /><a href="http://www.violamusicclub.com/">Viola: the Official Website</a><br /><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Codes+In+The+Clouds">Codes in the Clouds: last.fm</a> (I love "Fractures")<br /><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Fresh+Body+Shop">Fresh Body Shop: last.fm</a><br /><br />They have fun functions too. If you like the song, you can give a "heart" to the song/artist so then the reputation of song/artist goes higher and more people will notice them. So in the way you are supporting the artist you like on this website too. I like this site! (oh, one of my favorite, Coconuts Record is here too)<br /><br />先日といっても結構前ですが、The Sixty Oneというウェブサイトを見つけました。これを最近毎日使ってる私に取って、このサイトは私の音楽情報の源というか宝庫と言うか。。。すごい気に入ってます。インディー音楽（たまにめちゃくちゃインディーものを見つけます）でもロック、エレクトロ、ハウスなどからヒップホップやポップまで色んなジャンルが見つかるんですよ。この間アルバムデビューしました！っていうバンドもいたり、結構名の知れてるバンドやアーティストなどもいたりで毎日の発見が嬉しいです。<br /><br />最近「お！いいじゃーん！」って思ったのが、<a href="www.violamusicclub.com">Viola</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/133439871">Fresh Body Shop</a>, そして <a href="http://www.myspace.com/codesintheclouds">Codes in the Clouds</a>です。もしかして、そんなん、有名だよ！って言われるかも知れないけど。。。でもこのバンド達いいわ〜〜。特にViolaいい！リンクは↑にあるよww <a href="http://www.myspace.com/stateshirt">State Shirt</a>も気になる。。。<br /><br />それにこのサイトには面白い機能があって、気に入った曲、アーティストには一つ「♥」を上げられるんです。１日に上げられる♥は決まってるんですが、この♥を上げるだけで評判も上がり、もっとたくさんの人がこの曲に注目するっていうシステムになってます。ある意味、自分の好きなアーティストをサポート出来るということで、自分は気に入ってます。<br />まだまだこのサイト、知られてないのか登録されてるアーティストの数はまだまだだと思いますが、ここでちょくちょくチェックしたいと思います。<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-6521215163606418350?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-74724488139827244742009-04-26T15:38:00.001-07:002009-04-26T15:54:17.677-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SfTidxGDm_I/AAAAAAAACf4/aWLoU5S7uPg/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SfTidxGDm_I/AAAAAAAACf4/aWLoU5S7uPg/s400/photo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329133260108962802" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >04-26-09</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Today was such a nice day! Perfect weather for Sunday. My friend, Gabu chan and I went to a gym and worked out (Turbo Kick Box... too much steps and too hard for us! lol), and stopped by a Farmer's Market on Selma + Ivar Ave. I haven't stopped by and shopped at Farmer's Market for a while. They got a lot of fresh vegies, fruits, flowers etc.. I got this "Organic Certified Fuji Apple". It was $3 for a pound but it is <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">SO SWEET</span>! Wow. Unbelievable. I don't like apples much but Fuji is exceptional. :) But I think this kind is different if you compared from regular Fuji. You have to look for "Organic Certifed".</span><br /><br />今日はめちゃめちゃ良い天気。友達のがぶちゃんとジムへ行き（ターボキックボクシング。。。私達向きではないことが判明。ダンスみたくステップありすぎ。。。）、汗だくだくながら気持ちいい運動を終えた後、目の前にあるファーマーズマーケットへ行ってみました。新鮮なお野菜、果物、お花たーーくさんある中、私のヒットは「オーガニック証明付き（？）フジアップル」。なんか黄色くて熟れてないように見えるのに、超甘い！！！すごい、これ。<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">普通のフジよりめちゃくちゃおいしーー！</span>１パウンドに付き３ドルでした。<br /><br /><a href="http://www.farmernet.com/events/one-cfm?venue_id=587"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hollywood Farmer's Market</span> >> </a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hour: 8am-1pm</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">on every Sunday</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Place: Ivar + Selma Ave.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SfTkkxImF6I/AAAAAAAACgA/r1FB-uvEoys/s1600-h/photo%284%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SfTkkxImF6I/AAAAAAAACgA/r1FB-uvEoys/s200/photo%284%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329135579401951138" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-7472448813982724474?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-52585033924404341392009-04-22T21:10:00.000-07:002009-04-23T08:31:45.792-07:00<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.danielnester.com/uploaded_images/creative-intelligence-mustache-choices-785093.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.danielnester.com/uploaded_images/creative-intelligence-mustache-choices-785093.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >04-22-09</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">My latest keyword to look for in men is well, actually I have 2 keywords: Mustache and Gray Hair. I find men are very sexy with these 2 looks (well, not like grandpa gray hair....). I've been telling my friends for a while if they have either mustache or gray hair (well, both will be PERFECT!), that will be the one for me (well, there are more things to look into though). :) I feel very manish, strong and sexy from them.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Today, my friend Midori told me that to have mustache is a very stylish to do for hip star guys. Hmm... really... ? I haven't seen that many guys with mustache yet... But the mustache has to look good on them otherwise I won't consider them "sexy". Uh huh!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hmm.. let's see who got great mustache...? I searched on Google who got great mustache.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well, I even found American Mustache Institute (AMI!)!! hahaha Who knew there is an institute for mustache existed!</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.americanmustacheinstitute.org/Default.aspx">American Mustache Institute Official Website >></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">They even have their own Mustache song and "Mustache for the Month".. haha</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So I found 2 styles of mustach I love: Chevron and Walrus</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Like Tom Selleck, Lt.

This time was at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. One of my favorite venues!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">They came to perform with Hockey (from Portland, Oregon) and this band is not bad at all! I love their sound.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I thought Friendly Fires showed us more powerful performance this time than last time at the Spaceland. They sung, danced (Ed - vocalist- was shaking his butt really good lol), sweated, spitted while singing and blew snot like a crazy. haha My friend, Gabu chan and I were so close to the stage that we thought we would get Ed's sweat and spit all over on us... You had to be there to see this crazyness.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We had a lot of fun and got to listened and enjoyed the new version of "Paris" too.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I can't forget about Hockey. I posted their official Youtube page. You should check the song "Too Fake". It's pretty good. You shouldn't miss out this band!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Friendly Firesがまたやって参りました！！今回のベニューは私の好きなWest HollywoodにあるThe Troubadourです。本当に私はここが大好き！結構小さいベニューだし、アーティストが自分の横でビール買ってるみたいな！普通に友達とリラックスしてるみたいな！ボーカルのEdがわっせわっせ仲間のためにビールを運んでる姿見て、一瞬話しかけたかったけど、一生懸命な顔してたからテンパってるのかも。。と思い、止めておきました。ちょっと残念。でもそれだけちっちゃなベニューなんです！</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">いや〜、今回は前回のSpacelandよりももっとパワフルにエネルギッシュなパフォーマンスをしてくれました。腰ふりふりダンスあり、汗びっちゃり飛び散りあり、つばぺっぺあり、鼻水まで飛ばしてましたからね〜。迫力があって驚き、ちょっと引き、、、つつ、、やっぱり良いからノッちゃいましたね。ふふ。最後まで楽しかった〜！</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">しかも、「Paris」の新しいバージョンをお披露目してくれました。途中からいつもCDで聴いてるのと全く違く、、、でもいいーー！ビデオで録画してればなー。お見せできたのに。。。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">オープンニングバンド、Hockeyも超いい！これはめっけもんです。ぜひぜひ聴いたことのない人は聴いてみて！（"Too Fake" 好き！）ボーカルの歌い方がStrokesのJulian Casablancasとか若い時のRod Stewartに似てるって思うのですが、、、私だけ？ショーの後でファンの人とおしゃべりしたり、サイン上げたり、、、このバンドのサービス精神も◎！Friendly Firesのショーもちゃんと最後まで見てました。このバンド、注目したいです！</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.myspace.com/friendlyfires">Friendly Fires: Myspace</a><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.wearefriendlyfires.com/">Friendly Fires: Official Website</a><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.myspace.com/hockey">Hockey: Myspace</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hockey Youtube Official Page</span><br /><br /><script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&amp;up_channel=hockeyband&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=390&amp;title=&amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&amp;output=js"></script><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQMUyth_I/AAAAAAAACeo/7-ioNMf3Jek/s1600-h/DSCF0954.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQMUyth_I/AAAAAAAACeo/7-ioNMf3Jek/s200/DSCF0954.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324820675849717746" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Before the show started, Ed was tuning up his keyboard.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ショーが始まる前にエドくん、キーボードのチューニング。</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQMlRbBKI/AAAAAAAACe4/r9xC8GlELIo/s1600-h/DSCF0960.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQMlRbBKI/AAAAAAAACe4/r9xC8GlELIo/s200/DSCF0960.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324820680273495202" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Shake shake shake!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">腰ふりふりダンスを披露するエドくん（エドばっかりや！）</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQML0oLoI/AAAAAAAACeg/uxcNfIg1338/s1600-h/DSCF0990.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQML0oLoI/AAAAAAAACeg/uxcNfIg1338/s200/DSCF0990.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324820673441836674" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Everyone got a gooood energy!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">大熱唱のFriendly Fires.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQMgEmXDI/AAAAAAAACew/Er62emo8Hic/s1600-h/IMG_0518.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SeWQMgEmXDI/AAAAAAAACew/Er62emo8Hic/s200/IMG_0518.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324820678877535282" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">They were energized as well.

I missed you guys! This is my 4th time to see their show and they never betray my expectation. :) However, if I can complain, I have to admit that the regulation of Hollywood Palladium sucked after their renovation... like Henry Fonda... :(</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We couldn't bring a camera, no pictures this time... :( , we were supposed to get a wrist band in order to see them closely or just being on the main floor (well, we were too late to get one..). So if anyone who has a plan to go to Hollywood Palladium to see a show, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >GET THERE EARLY</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">! and get a wrist band. ;)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anyway, back to Ratatat. This time, they played without the keyboard-the-poodle (look at my blog on </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://furrylunchbox.blogspot.com/2008/07/fulfilled-saturday-part3-part3.html">July 14th, 2008</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">) but they did good without him. They mixed songs evenly from both albums "Classiscs" and "LP3". That was great show. They were great on playing, and I felt so much energy however... not much talking. Maybe they said "Thank you!" for a few times and "Hold on sec. My guitar broke... I have to fix it...". I don't want the artist to talk on and on and on... but I want to hear a bit of them, you know? And if they don't arrange something much on their music just for the show, I feel like I should've stay home and just listen to my CD. :P</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But the whole energy that I feel at the floor from artists and audiences... this is PRICELESS. ;)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I love their music.. their sound is so addictive, I want to listen to them more and more. I don't know what it is but I just can listen to their music over and over. Probably they use a lot of mid-tone.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This word "mid-tone" is a huge keyword for me based on music. No matter what kind of music that is, I just love "mid-tone". Sharp, flat... half up and half down.. Those tones are awesome, and make me... um.. emotional.. hehe.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Ratatatがまた来ましたよ〜〜！今度はHollywood Palladiumです。改築してから初めて行ったのですが、綺麗になってました。でも。。。ルールが多すぎて嫌！！カメラは持ち込めないし（なので今回は写真なし。。。iPhoneでこっそりと撮ってみたけどぶれて何んだか分かんない、、）、メインフロアーでステージに近く行きたかったらリストバンドを早く行ってゲットしないと行けないし。。。うちらはそんなの知らなかったから10時半ぐらいに行ってもちろんそのバンドなし！泣　だから1階のバルコニーから見るはめに。。。悲しかったー。遠いんだもん。</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >なのでHollywood Palladiumに行く予定のある方は早めに行く事をお勧め致します〜。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ま〜ま〜、そんなこんなでもちゃんと楽しめたRatatatのショー。今回も良かった〜〜。今回は今まで一緒にやってきたプードル頭のキーボードプレイヤー</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">は</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">（</span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://furrylunchbox.blogspot.com/2008/07/fulfilled-saturday-part3-part3.html">7月14日のブログ</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">を見てね）いなくて、２人オンリーでがんばってた。でも「Classics」と「LP3」の両方のアルバムから均等に出す感じで熱演してました。他にもちらりと知らない曲が２曲ぐらい出て来てたんだけど、新曲か？？それとも昔のアルバムからで私が知らないとか。。。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">でもRatatatはいつ聴いても、何回聴いても癖になる〜。リピートを何十回回しても全然飽きないし、その反対にもっと聴きたくなる！これはどうして？？多分それは、、、半音をめちゃくちゃたくさん出してるからではないでしょうか。半音フェチの私としてはもうよだれが出るほど、これでもかこれでもかっていうぐらい半音を出しまくってる！しかもシンセエレクトロの中にちょろっとクラシックロックとフレンチポップのエッセンスを入れてみました的な音楽だからもっといいんですね。きっと。あ〜もっと生で聴きたい〜〜！Hollywood Palladiumはちょっと大きいな。</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The Troubadourみたいな小さなベニューでやってくれたら本当に最高なのにな〜〜。</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">また来てください、Ratatatサマ！</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/ratatatmusic">Ratatat: Myspace</a><br /><br />Since I don't have any pics, I will post some of their music here. :)<br />写真ない代わりにお気に入りの音楽をここに入れておきます〜。<br /><br />Ratatat: Lex<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c0VAkPjrnWM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c0VAkPjrnWM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />Ratatat: Shempi<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kLUthOxfpMo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kLUthOxfpMo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />Ratatat: Mirando<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fk8qcGOtBFw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fk8qcGOtBFw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />Ratatat: Seventeen Years<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r82hSQfcIOY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r82hSQfcIOY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-8029604715870954758?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-88017591958468381442009-03-31T22:30:00.001-07:002009-04-01T10:26:39.330-07:00<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SdL8ZpmfL0I/AAAAAAAACeA/lD1lYeMAtrw/s1600-h/IMG_0479.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 377px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SdL8ZpmfL0I/AAAAAAAACeA/lD1lYeMAtrw/s320/IMG_0479.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319591627472187202" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >03-27-09</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It has been... um... Hmm..? I didn't even write about this band "Gliss" last time I saw them at the Spaceland in February...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I think how I found this Los Angeles based, local band, Gliss was just really coincidence... I was looking up for another band, it led me to the Echoplex Myspace page and then I found Gliss there. I fell in love with it and passed the link to Meg as usual. Their sound reminds me of My Bloody Valentine, in early-90s era. I love this sound.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Actually, the vocalist of Gliss, Martin sounds like sometimes a girl... (hehe, sorry!) As I listened to the songs from Myspace, I started to like those couple songs and I was waiting to hearing them at stage which sounded like female vocalist was singing. I totally thought another member, Victoria's voice.. and I expected her to sing at night, but she didn't. I was dissapointed and when I bought their 1st CD "Love the Virgin" and met Virginia at bar, I told her what I thought of the night. She was such a nice lady but she didn't know what I was talking about because all of their songs were sung by another member, Martin! haha</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This time they promoted their new CD "Devotion Implosion". I like both of their CDs but I may prefer this new one . I like their beat and easy to remain in my head. Very catchy too, I think.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">All of them were pretty cool people. They gave me some casual chit chat with us, and autographs. And we got to know they might be in London when we are going to be there. I am very excited if I can get to see them in overseas!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ロサンゼルスベース、ローカルバンドのGlissをまたSpacelandにて観に行って来ました！「また」と言っても前回の書いてない！このバンド、どうやって発見したのかあまり定かではないですが、確かthe EchoplexコンサートベニューのMyspace ページを見てた時に発見したのかな。。。色んなバンドの中に混じって１曲だけ入ってて。。。そんな感じで知って、フォールインラブです。そしてリンクをいつものごとくMegに渡し。。。といういつものパターン。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">彼らの音は９０年代初期のMy Bloody Valentineに似てるかな。この辺の時期のブリティッシュ系インディーロック、私は大好きですから、もうすぐに聴いてぞっこんです。は〜なんていいんでしょう、このギターの音。ほれぼれします。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">しかし、このボーカルの声、ハスキーな女性の声にたまに聴こえる。。。男性２人(Martin and Dave)、女性１人(</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Victoria</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">)で構成されてるから絶対にこの女性が歌ってるのかと思ったら！全部男の声だった！もはや私はMartinが歌ってるって分かったからどの歌が女性の声に聴こえるか。。。って忘れちゃったけど、最初に初めて女性のメンバー（後に</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Victoria</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">と分かる）と話した時、「あなたの歌聴きたかったー」って言ったらきょとんとされたの覚えてる。。。笑　</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">今回は新CD「Devotion Implosion 」のプロモーションでライブ。またその新CD買った際、サインもおねだりして。ふふ（お前いくつかよ！）ボーカルのMartinもきさくで色々と話してくれ、終いには私達が今夏ロンドンへ行くと同じ時期に彼らもいるということが発覚！ちょっとちょっと〜〜！これは会えるんではないの？るんるん♪　写真はまたiPhone。。カメラがどこに行っちゃったか分かんなくなった〜〜。。。（後で超デスクの横にあったこと発見。。てへっ！）</span><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SdL8aIVscYI/AAAAAAAACeI/9MQRhTfs02g/s1600-h/IMG_0486.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 186px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SdL8aIVscYI/AAAAAAAACeI/9MQRhTfs02g/s320/IMG_0486.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319591635723252098" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is the vocalist, Martin.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I love his fashion sense too!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">彼がボーカルのマーティン。超おしゃれさんでもあります。全部デザイナーものに見えたな。。。</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SdL8au8hBNI/AAAAAAAACeQ/6WPeQzRCJBg/s1600-h/IMG_0488.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 178px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SdL8au8hBNI/AAAAAAAACeQ/6WPeQzRCJBg/s320/IMG_0488.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319591646086628562" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I got everybody's autographs. hehe</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">皆のサインもらったよww　<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.coolhunting.com/images/gliss-album.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 238px;" src="http://www.coolhunting.com/images/gliss-album.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is the "Devotion Implosion".

I've never been to such an awesome, unbelievable show ever in my life like this...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I can call their show "Amazing, Best show 2009!" Well, 2009 only has been 3 months but... hehe. The </span><span id="ota" style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span id="otq">Synthesizers</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> that they brought was so different from other DJs I've seen also.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">You have to check out the Youtube below but they said that they brought their own mixer,</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> synthesizers, keyboard etc... all the equipments from their studio to the stage. I couldn't see what was going on there even though I was at the 1st row... I see they are playing with keyboard, and some back of the PC-ish thingy... I was like "what are they doing with it...?". They are turning around the table so then they can take turn and play different installment/equipment in roll.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> Now I know what they did on the stage!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But the sound they created were so simply amazing. I was waiting for them to come to Los Angeles for a long time, and now they have. They totally satisfied my needs, desire, and expectations. I give 100 thumb-ups! haha </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The only thing I didn't like was Henry Fonda theatre/venue... All of the sudden, they set up some weird Fire hazard regulation because the fire marshal randomly came and warned them last Saturday (they had to cut middle of the Cut Copy show! I would be soooo mad if I were there!). When I stepped out for bathroom, the door was closed. I tried to go in and the security said 'Sorry, you can't go in right now because of the capacity. When some people go out, some of you can go in!" Huuuhhh??? WTH are they talking about? We already paid for the ticket. You know how many people are going to be there. The number of capacity is over means SOLD OUT show! They've never done this type of thing before. Luckly, someone came out from another door which the security wasn't watching, so I got to sneaked in... otherwise, I couldn't see the SMD show at all!! One of my friends didn't get to go in, and had to watch from 2nd floor... sucks.. Some mad riot could happen! They need to do something with this stupid regulations. </span><br /><br />Simian Mobile Discoのショー行って来ましたよーーーー！これは最高中の最高です！２００９年、まだ３ヶ月しか経ってないけど、ベストですね、これは！これを越えるショーは多分ありえんと思う。めちゃくちゃ良かった！何が良かったかというと、通常自分のラップトップ、キーボード、ドラムなど持ってくるDJって多いけど、こいつらは色んな種類のシンセサイザー、自分のスタジオにある機械をぜーーーーんぶ持って来ちゃったんです！（って、知ったように書いたけど、めぐっぺが送ってくれたYoutubeに載ってた。てへっ！）音楽のMIXの仕方も面白かったし、もうノリノリの音楽をずっと提供してくれたよ。あーーー！もーーまた行きたい！月曜日の夜だというのにめちゃくちゃもっと観たかった。結構首を長くして待った介があったわーー。次回はまだ先まで来ないのかなー。<br /><br />でもね。。。このベニュー、Henry Fondaは今回最悪だった。。。この間の土曜日ここでCut Copyのショーがあったんですが、いきなり抜き打ちテストで消防署が来たらしいんです。<br />で、思いっきり規定を守っていなかったFondaは罰金を食らったらしく（しかもショーの途中で中止。もーー！Cut Copy来てくれなくなっちゃうよ！）、そこからまじめに守ろうとしてるのは分かるのですが、その守り方があほ！手際悪いし、うちらチケット買ってもうすでに中入っているのにも関わらず、定員人数いっぱいだからといってアーティストがいる会場に入らしてくれない。。。はーー？？ちょっとちょっと。。。定員人数いっぱいってことはチケットがSOLD OUTになった時じゃないの？？ちょーあほだよ、これ。私もトイレ行った時に閉め出されそうになってドアの前で音楽がなってるのに５分ぐらい待たされ、運良くセキュリティーが見てなかったドアからこっそり入っちゃいました。これでちゃんとショーを見れたのですが、他の友達は2階で優雅に飲んでたりしてたから閉め出されたままでショーを目の前で見れず。。。Riotが起きそうになった！って言ってました。。。この規定ってやつ、もうちょっと上手く守ろうよ。。。<br /><br />This is the equipments what they used... It's sick!<br />これがショーで使われたシンセなど。すごーい！<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1OSDab1_Gc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1OSDab1_Gc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />I couldn't attach the Youtube Video here so.. there are some links..<br /><br />Simian Mobile Disco - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzNTCxOJK3g">Hustler</a><br /><br />Simian Mobile Disco - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZPXgQSPm8A">It's the Beat</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/simianmobiledisco">Simian Mobile Disco - Myspace</a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtrQb1kaI/AAAAAAAACcM/SymBzDwtdgU/s1600-h/DSCF0822.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtrQb1kaI/AAAAAAAACcM/SymBzDwtdgU/s200/DSCF0822.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314438518954889634" border="0" /></a>It's pretty with different colors.<br />色んな色できれーー！<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtrbmvzfI/AAAAAAAACcE/KPMaPdOrImg/s1600-h/DSCF0811.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtrbmvzfI/AAAAAAAACcE/KPMaPdOrImg/s200/DSCF0811.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314438521953439218" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtq4oektI/AAAAAAAACb8/5-7_Vot9Z7M/s1600-h/DSCF0814.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtq4oektI/AAAAAAAACb8/5-7_Vot9Z7M/s200/DSCF0814.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314438512565457618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtr9-i3KI/AAAAAAAACcU/7jD-fa0ARBU/s1600-h/DSCF0815.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtr9-i3KI/AAAAAAAACcU/7jD-fa0ARBU/s200/DSCF0815.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314438531180059810" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtq3SUWxI/AAAAAAAACb0/KCrlZyphwNY/s1600-h/DSCF0862.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/ScCtq3SUWxI/AAAAAAAACb0/KCrlZyphwNY/s200/DSCF0862.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314438512204077842" border="0" /></a>This is the machines.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-4132493712974815609?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-43737217586791377742009-03-15T12:41:00.001-07:002009-03-15T14:48:01.238-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sb1aFtVeUiI/AAAAAAAACbc/y8hEZqPeT0I/s1600-h/photo%285%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 343px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/Sb1aFtVeUiI/AAAAAAAACbc/y8hEZqPeT0I/s400/photo%285%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313502189482562082" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">03-14-09</span><br /><br />Don't know why but I got this urge to get a Pink Panther Cartoon DVD last night...<br />I just remembered I watched it with my family when I was a kid.<br />Before I went to Arclight to see "Coraline", I stopped by Amoeba to see if they have<br />any. When I was there last time they didn't have any, but I found a complete collection this time. :) I love 60s-70s cartoon and just make me feel warm to remember my family and I laughed together while we watched it.<br /><br />なぜか昨晩アニメ版のピンクパンサーが見たくて映画「Coraline」を観に行く前にレコード屋アメーバに行って探しちゃいました。前回、アメーバで探した時はなかったのに、今回はあった、あったww　しかもコレクション版。　このピンクパンサー、良くうちの家族と一緒に笑いながら観てたよな〜。懐かしい〜。最近のアニメとかあんまり興味ないけど、こういう60−70年代のアニメって大好き。<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-4373721758679137774?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-1429144150171275362009-03-14T18:31:00.000-07:002009-03-14T19:06:45.719-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SbxbHTPgsUI/AAAAAAAACbM/4n5ja-bo96c/s1600-h/DSCF0752.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SbxbHTPgsUI/AAAAAAAACbM/4n5ja-bo96c/s400/DSCF0752.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313221841372885314" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">03-13-09</span><br /><br />We (ahh.. of course it's Meg! lol) went again to see the Twelves now at the Avalon Hollywood. <a href="http://furrylunchbox.blogspot.com/2008/12/twelves-dragonfly.html">The last time at Dragonfly</a> was their first time, but now their fan/audiences got much much bigger. They played from around 12ish to 1:30am in the morning... For whole an hour and a half, they played such a great mix for non-stop!! My god, our legs were tired but it was worth it.<br />They just really know how to make us dance with up beats for all night! I just love them so much.<br /><br />We talked to them before the show (we talked to one of the left in the pic), he was really friendly and he was like "hey!" and hugged us! We asked if they have any CDs out. Their answer is... "NO"! Ohhh come on, Twelves! You have to have it by now. They said it's ok to have their music for free online so then it's easier to spread the words (for now...). They are such cool people to talk with too. :)<br /><br />またまた来ましたよ！The Twelvesが！！<a href="http://furrylunchbox.blogspot.com/2008/12/twelves-dragonfly.html">前回はDragonfly</a>というところで初ライブだったけど、今回はもっと大きいベニュー、Avalonでライブが行われました。もっとファン、観客が多くなってロサンゼルスでもThe Twelvesの人気が急上昇中というところでしょうか。<br />彼らが１２時頃から朝の１時半までの間、ノンストップでめちゃめちゃノリの良いミックスを掛け続け、最後、私達の脚はもう。。。棒のよう。。。でもこうも調子の良い音楽を掛けられたら踊らずにはいられないよ！！<br /><br />ライブの前に彼らがステージに向かって歩いているのを見つけて思わず話しかけちゃいました。超フレンドリーで「Hey!!」って友達のようにハグまでしてくれてww　嬉しかったです。<br />CDは売ってないの？の質問に彼らが答えたのは「まだCD出してないんだよね〜。でも今オンラインでフリーで音楽聴けるからそれが僕たちの良い宣伝になってるんだよ」。<br />なるほどね〜。うらちみたいにお金出してでもCDを買いたいという人達がいるっていうのにな〜。でもまーこれも彼らなりの戦略方法なんでしょう。ライブが終わった後も話そう！なんてめぐっぺと言ってたんだけど、結局疲れてとっとと家に帰りました。また来いよ〜！<br /><br />The Twelves Black Kids - Boyfriend (The Twelves Remix)<br />This is the most popular Remix. これが一番人気のあるリミックスかな。<br /><br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEc5bQTOiLQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEc5bQTOiLQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SbxbHp-N5GI/AAAAAAAACbU/LJwtM6ZvNDM/s1600-h/DSCF0764.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 257px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SbxbHp-N5GI/AAAAAAAACbU/LJwtM6ZvNDM/s400/DSCF0764.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313221847474365538" border="0" /></a>Meg took me a interesting pic.<br />メグッペが面白い写真を撮ってくれた。<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-142914415017127536?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-15992723708944333732009-03-12T22:50:00.000-07:002009-03-13T00:30:56.337-07:00<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3345488493_77b47654b4.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3345488493_77b47654b4.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><br /><br />03-06-09 - 03-09-09</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />Hawaii... here I come again! hehe. Around the same time, I was in Oahu for my friends' wedding last year. And, this time again... I was in Kauai island for another good friends of mine's wedding. Out of all the islands in Hawaii, Kauai the one has so much rain, especially March... Why now..? But March 8th is very very special day for Diffenderfers. And I was so happy to be there to witness their special day.</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />I arrived in Kauai with my friend on the Friday night, and stayed until Monday morning. We got a lot of rain unfortunately. EXCEPT... on the wedding day! :) It was beautiful day. I feel blessed, and I was amazed how much the Sunny Girl, Jun affected the weather. She was the lucky charm. On top of that, as soon as they are done with ceremony and we were about to move on to the reception, it started to rain again HARD! Wow... I felt really a bless. I am not religious but I had to thank to God... :)</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />Over all, the Kauai was much more on country side like I saw chickens walking around in town all over like a stray cats or dogs. And top of that, all the animals I wanted to see such as Dolphins (Na Pali Coast), Whales (Na Pali Coast), Wild Goats (Na Pali Coast), Sea Turtle (Poipu Beach) showed up for us.</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />The most important part of this trip: Diffenderfers' wedding was beautiful, fun and a lot of laughs. It was just perfect. I've never had a fun wedding like this. I guess good people gather at the same place, good energy comes in naturally and we can naturally have a good time. I was so content even though this trip was super short...</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ハワイにまた行って来ました。去年の今頃もハワイ、今年もハワイ。すべて結婚式です。</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">去年はオアフで、今回はカウアイ。カウアイはハワイの島の中で最も雨量が多い島だそうで、、、。降られました。結構降られました。友達と金曜日の夜に到着し、月曜日の朝までいた訳ですが（最短旅行、、）、結婚式以外雨ばーーっかり。でも式の日は朝からずーっと晴れていて、式が終わった途端、ざーーーーー！と再び雨が、、、。晴れ女じゅんちゃんの力はすごい！これは本当に恵まれてるなーと信仰心があまりない私はめずらしく神様に感謝せざるを得ませんでした。でも感動する式だったし、披露宴もめっちゃめちゃ楽しかった〜。たくさんの笑いあり、良い人達に会え、良いエネルギーがたくさん集まったパーティでした。</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">カウアイは初めて行ったけど、にわとりが町中歩いてるぐらい田舎だった。でもこの田舎さがいいんだわ〜。野良犬とかいるかな〜とも思ったりしたけど犬はさすがに見かけなかった。そこまで田舎じゃなかったみたい。。。</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">せっかくなんだからと出かけたNa Pali Coastクルーズ（雨降っていたにも関わらず計画続行、、）ではくじら、いるか、山壁にぴったり張り付いて模型にしか見えなかった山ヤギも見えたし、Poipuビーチではあざらしにウミガメにも会えちゃったし。ヘリコプターに乗ってカウアイ島全体見れたし。とても楽しくて楽しくてロスに帰りたくなかったで、結構満足な旅行だったわん。また同じメンバーでハワイ行きたいな〜〜。<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3344/3345482045_d7b251bf48.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 302px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3344/3345482045_d7b251bf48.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">With beautiful bride, Jun.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />超綺麗な花嫁さん、じゅんちゃんと。</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3410/3345483665_c772f4a516.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 296px; height: 222px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3410/3345483665_c772f4a516.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A bit nervous groom, Jed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ちょっと緊張気味ぽいかな？ジェドくん。</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3308/3346300976_bfb9cc504d.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 219px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3308/3346300976_bfb9cc504d.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The Best Saimin Noodle in town.

Vanilla, Strawberry Vanilla Strawberry... hehe If you know which songs I am talking about, you'should think this is funny! lol</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This time Meg and I went to the Echo to see Fujiya &amp; Miyagi who is from Brighton, England. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It was a good show, however unfortunately we had to realize we really like their sound but after all we had to think their sound is all same over 20 songs.... Lyrics from every songs fits to one sounds. Their beat is about same, the vocalist sings in same style... Their sound is not bad at all and actually I loved it when I listened their 3rd album "Transparent Things". But 4th album "Light Bulbs"... Hmm...? I have heard this sound before... And I had to think a moment, and realize the sound is similar to "Transparent Things"! </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">You should listen to "Photocopier" (Transparent Things), and "Ankle Injuries" (Transparent Things) and "Knickerbocker" (Lightbulbs) . They are all same. I am pretty sure Fujiya &amp; Miyagi reads won't this article, but in case if they did read my article, I have to say "Sorry!" but this is how I felt... I like each songs individually though! :D</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">One of the opening band, Pop Levi was pretty cool except the vocalist plays like Jimmy Hendrix-ish...

And my projects are not single-person task, so of course it takes the team to work the project running. It wasn't the case for this particular project... I was frustrated, and irritated and seems like I feel this way at the end of the day "always". And I didn't like that at all how I felt... well who does, right? But I just don't have time to chit chat during work hour and I just carry the frustration over to home. And this happened repeatedly. Can you see how much frustration I have now?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">One day, my friend invited me to a dinner to have some soon tofu with her, and </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I spilled my frustration at work out to her over the dinner. I guess I needed someone to talk to and she was a perfect person. :)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It's not that I needed to complain about this particular situation, I was also frustrated that I am not strong enough to accept these type of envitonment. I know I can't change the person, so, I need to change myself so then I don't have to feel frustrated much. What can I do in order to be strong?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">So my friend took me to this Meditation workshop in Santa Monica last night. The regular teacher wasn't there, and some substitute who teaches you ZAZEN there. I was surprised I would do this in United States. I haven't even done this in Japan!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Anyway, I learned a bit from Zazen, I think... When I stared a white wall in front of myself (he told us not to close eyes because you WILL start thinking so many things. By opening your eyes and staring at blank wall, you won't have much disturbance during the session), millions of things came up in my mind, but also I started to learn to let them go since I knew I wasn't supposed to "think" anything. And it gave me relaxation, and calmness since I didn't have think anything. All the stuff which frustrated me on that day just discharged from my body which means it went back to ZERO point and I can start a new day next day. That was a great feeling to have at the end of Zazen. :) I think I will go back there again to attend Meditation workout next Monday...</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://global.sotozen-net.or.jp/eng/how_to_do_zazen.html">About Zazen >></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">最近仕事にやられてる気がします。思うように事が運ばない、、、。毎日（いつも午後あたりから）こんな調子でしかも忙しいから喋ってる暇もなく、休憩も取らずに仕事をずーっとしてることが多い感じ。この「喋る暇もない」っていうのがやばくて、イライラしながら家に帰り、また喋ることもなく次の日を迎えるということもざら。だからストレス溜まってた。</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">この間、ちょうど友達がご飯一緒に食べない？って誘ってくれたから、その夕食時に溜まってたガスみたくバーーーーーっとそのイライラ感というかこういう状況をどう変えられるか、どう自分が強くなればこの状況を乗り越えられるか、みたいなことを一気に話したら、この友達、超いい解決法みたいなことを提案してくれた。</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">で、、、メディテーション（瞑想）のワークショップがあるから行かない？って誘われてサンタモニカまで昨晩行ってみました。瞑想のクラスではなく、座禅のクラスだったけど、これがまたなんか気持ちよかった。座禅なんて日本にいた時もやったことないし、そんなに知識ないけど、とにかく目の前にある白い壁を目を開けたまま、みつめなさいという指示に従って、30分間座禅を組んでみました。座禅＝無ってことになると思うんだけど、これがまた難しい！でも「無」をトライして、まだ何か頭に浮かんでくるからまた消して、、みたいなことをやってるといつの間にか、何も考えなくなる。さっきのイライラ感もどっか消えたし、仕事のこともどっか消えたし、なんかゼロに戻って次の日新しい日を始められる感じだった。座禅を組む事によって、体のバランスも脳みそのバランスも素に戻るからこれも気持ちいい。ちょっと何か習ったような気がします。一緒にクラスを取った人達も同じように精神的に強くなりたいっていう人達だったからクラス後話していてちょっと仲間を見つけたような、、、。また</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">来週行ってこようと思います。（変な宗教とかそういうんじゃないから、ご心配なく）</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.geocities.jp/daisindou/zazentowa.htm">座禅について＞＞</a><br /><br /><br /></span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-3156055858169352415?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-14175478199203663692009-02-25T08:06:00.000-08:002009-02-25T21:42:02.498-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SaVsfygt3zI/AAAAAAAACZk/rwSeqSuD2XI/s1600-h/photo%282%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SaVsfygt3zI/AAAAAAAACZk/rwSeqSuD2XI/s400/photo%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306767029316738866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">02-25-09</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Wow, it's been for a while since I wrote something last time... I've been lagging, and somehow I just didn't feel like doing anything lately... I don't think I'm depressed but maybe I am... who knows...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anyway, I found this sign at the metro station I always use in the morning at Hollywood &amp; Western. I thought "Let exit others before you board the train" is such a big common sense already even before you mention on a sign like this. Maybe I think that way because I grew up in Japan and used train all the time. We already have the common sense naturally. But I'd always surprised when those people who don't let others go in who wants to exit. Or they put their legs up on the extra seat in front of them even though there are so many other people standing. I feel like some of American are selfish.</span>　<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well, I shouldn't say that though... Los Angeles is such a huge multi-cultural melting pot. I am pretty sure each of people got some common sense of their own culture. But before they mix those different cultures well together, I guess some of those common sense don't make sense to others. Then those selfishness comes in... Mmm.. I know it's not that easy to say but that's how I see it... </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When you try to consider others, those "common sense" will naturally come in to you. And I need to work on that part sometimes also. People are not perfect, and neither am I. I would like to grow more even though I am already an adult. :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Additon: Don't get me wrong. I've seen many other people who are nice too. Especially a lot of Hispanic guys try to give their seats to women, no matter if she is young or old. And to older/ill/pregnant people too. I thought that's nice. I think the rate of giving seats in general is much higher than Japan.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">今朝、いつも使ってる地下鉄のエレベーターの前にこんなサインがあった。</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">「電車に乗る前に降りる人に出入り口を譲りましょう」</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">一瞬こんなサインがわざわざあるのに驚いた。でもこの地下鉄を使う人達の中で結構譲らない人って多い。私はもちろん日本で育ったから電車を頻繁に小さな頃から使ってたし、こういう常識ってものが自然に身についていたんだと思うから驚いたんだと思うんだけど、やっぱりこういう風に書いてないと気をつけない人って世の中多いんだな。アメリカ人の中でも常識ある人も多いけど常識ないも人多い。結構混んでいる電車の中で目の前の空いてる席に平気で足上げてたり。人のこと考えて思いやりながら接していたら自然にそういう「常識」って生まれるんじゃないかなーって思う。ロサンゼルスって多国籍な街だから各人は常識あるかもしれなけど、国籍が違うと常識も違ってくるからお互い学び合ってうま〜く調合するんじゃなくて、ぶつかりあって自分は自分になっちゃったのかな。それとかお互い理解できなかったとかね。悲しいね。ま～私も自分のこと、棚に上げてる場合じゃないけどね。自分勝手なところたくさんあるし…。こんなサインを見て、我が身を見直した今日でした。<br /><br />追記：常識ない人多いって書いたけど、そうでない人もちゃんといます。誤解されないように書いておかないと．．．。男性、特にヒスパニックの男性は年老いた女性、若い女性関わりなく席を譲ってくれる。もちろん年寄り、病人、妊娠してる女性などなど、席を譲る人の率って日本よりも多いかもな。<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-1417547819920366369?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-36974423382121353192009-02-11T15:04:00.000-08:002009-02-11T15:22:24.156-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/livenation_ticketmaster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 138px;" src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/livenation_ticketmaster.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">02-11-09</span><br /><br />I got this news today from Meg... that there is a possibility that Live Nation and Ticketmaster are going to merge in the near future. As I read the headline at first, I was about to be excited and thought the monopoly of Ticketmaster will be end soon... but I was wrong... As I read the article further, after they merge, one of their ideas to sell concert ticket on bidding base... That means... those popular concerts have high chance to be soooooooo expensive and those poor people like me will never gonna have a chance to see those great musicians!! Man, my love = music life will be over?? This is really sad IF this news is bad enough to be true... :( Is there any place I can protest????<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/10/ticketmaster-and-live-nation-conduct-25-billion-merger-create-live-nation-entertainment/">To the Article >> </a><br /><br />今日、めぐっぺから渡されたリンクを読んでいたら、なんと「Live Nation とTicketmaster合併」の記事が…。最初この二つの会社が合併したらTicketmasterのチケット販売独占ビジネスに終止符を打つか！と思ってちょっと喜びながら記事を読んでいたけど、それは、、、ぬか喜びだった、、、<br />「もし」その二つの会社が合併したらなんと人気アーティストのチケットはオークション制にするという案が出ているそう。っつーことは！！めちゃめちゃ人気だったら、私みたいな貧乏人にはもう必ず見れないというアーティストも出てくるっつーーーことじゃないの！！えーーー！ぎゃーーー！！ちょっとーーー！！えーーーんっ！これは悲しすぎる…。私の音楽人生は終わりか…？この噂、本当に噂で終わって欲しい（というか、、まーメジャーアーティストを最近全く見ていない私にとってそんなに痛手じゃないと良いけど～）。Ticketmasterのチケット販売独占ビジネスには誰か、どうか誰か止めてくれーーーー！って感じだけど。どこか抗議するとこないのかなーーー。<br /><br /><br />Live Nationとは＝コンサートプロモーションに力を掛けてる会社<br />Ticketmasterとは＝コンサートチケット販売に力を掛けてる会社<br /><br /><a href="http://jp.techcrunch.com/archives/20090210ticketmaster-and-live-nation-conduct-25-billion-merger-create-live-nation-entertainment/">その記事を読みたい>></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-3697442338212135319?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-64699031177225170252009-02-04T15:19:00.001-08:002009-02-04T22:30:15.687-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SYoipN9fraI/AAAAAAAACPg/oQbKBy54er8/s1600-h/photo%284%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nwsXCK7BWEs/SYoipN9fraI/AAAAAAAACPg/oQbKBy54er8/s400/photo%284%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299086003072380322" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">02-02-09</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">My friends and I wanted to go to this Funk/Soul Event in Little Tokyo "Shibuya".</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It is an once-a-month event at </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.blogger.com/www.chopsueycafeandlounge.com">Chop Suey</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">. Chikara kun from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/giantpanda">Giant Panda</a> plays such a</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">cool 70's - 90's Funk/Soul and hip-hop music, and Jun chan's friend Omae san also got</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">some cool music collection. I don't like the popular hip-hop music I hear on radio, and generally, I don't listen to it at all, but I like Chikara kun's selection. I like 70's Funk too and I can't forget 80's - 90's either!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anyway, we stopped by </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.chinmayaoftokyo.com/">Chin-Ma-Ya of Tokyo</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> in Little Tokyo before going to Shibuya with girls, and we heard this Tan-Tan-Men(Noodle) was really good, so we had to try it.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And.... it WAS good! The noodle was perfectly el dente. I love the noodle perfectly chewy, and suit to the soup. The soup was spicy as the way I like (you can choose how spicy you want the soup to be), thick and flavorful. I loved it. I totally recommend this place.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Tan-Tan-Men was like $6.95.</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">And they have a happy-hour. Draft Beer is 99cent!</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">(5pm-7pm)</span><br /><br />昨晩はお友達のイベント「SHIBUYA」に行ってまいりました。リトル東京のChop Sueyというレストランの横に細長～～～いアリーがあるのですが、そこのバーで毎月1回、ファンク・ソウルイベント行ってます。お友達のちからくん（<a href="http://www.myspace.com/giantpanda">Giant Panda</a>)やおーまえさん達は70s、80s、90sのかっこいーファンク、ソウル、はたまたヒップホップのコレクションで盛り上げてくれます。ヒップホップはほとんど聞かないけど、ちからくん達がセレクトする音は好き。おっされ〜です。<br /><br />で、そのSHIBUYAに行く前におなかが空いたので、ガールズ達と<a href="http://www.chinmayaoftokyo.com/">Chin-Ma-Ya of Tokyo</a>というところの坦々麺がおいしいというので、挑戦！しかも、ハッピーアワーで生ビールが99セント！安いっ！（５時から７時までね）担々麺の方はといいますと麺にこしがあって、スープは濃厚、ぴりっと辛く（辛さが選べる）、味に深みがあっておいしーー！皆揃って「おいしーーーー！」の一言。ここはおすすめですー。<br />上の写真は担々麺、辛さ：ミディアム。お値段は6.95ドルぐらいだったかなー。<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">123 Astronaut Ellison S Onizuka St</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Los Angeles, CA 90012</span><br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" id="bizPhone">(213) 625-3400</span> <div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" id="bizUrl"> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yelp.com/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chinmayaoftokyo.com&amp;src_bizid=veuf_wTstBRXyViBh3tRBA" onclick="externalLinks(this);">www.chinmayaoftokyo.com</a> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6209056839787512949-6469903117722517025?l=furrylunchbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Furry Lunchboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982746286387550196noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209056839787512949.post-45320338687548372192009-02-02T21:35:00.000-08:002009-02-02T22:12:40.092-08:00
