TV every night

I'm looking forward to watching some tv programs this week.
The first one is tonight 'Wild life' about
gorillas' life in the forest. I'm very interested in homo sapience, the roots of human beings. We will learn from the natives how to live in the future.

The second one is tomorrow, 'Cosmic Front'. Dr.Harking will explain our planet from the birth of the Universe.
I've heard that learning astronomy will reduce wars on the earth because we can know our world is still young and tiny in the history of the Universe. No need to fight or kill each other for little things....I'd like to feel how small but important our life is!

The third is after tomorrow, Tameshite Gatten, the topic is very attractive.
' How to remove forgetting' it is saying that there is an effective medicine to make people stop forgetting..really?

Anyway there are my expecting tv programs. But I don't force you to check it. I'm telling just my favor.

Madam Butterfly

Today, I watched the TV program ' Madam Butterfly', which was produced based on the book by Shinichi Ichikawa who had passed away just before the program was broadcasted for the first time last year.
This is the third time on air and I happened to get a chance to watch it today on Sunday morning.
The Madam Butterfly is famous and well known for a tragic heroine on opera music scene.

In its drama, I took a notice of this phrase.
' Love of the greatest is one of secret which can be patient.'
This is from Samurai spirit 'Hagakure', one of the strategy of hiding in the leaves.
The Madam Butterfly was said to be the last samurai spirit daughter and the symbol of Japanese nostalgia.

Reminder for a long life

I found good reminder for a long life at my senior's house who I pay respect.
It says that

You should know if you want to live long, mind of those things...

If you were welcomed at 70 years old, say ' I'm busy with work '
If you were almost picked up at 80 years old, say ' too early! '
If you were announced to go to the heaven at 90 years old, say ' I'll come a little later.'
If you were told to be off at 100 years old, say ' I'll come after the meeting with association of the long life.'
This is what you should remind if you live long.

It's funny and easy to live without worry. Long life would be more excited.

Soba lunch

I like eating noodle and can eat every day. I also love every kind of noodle, ramen, udon, soba, spaghetti and so on. But recently I care for the health so I choose the one of the healthiest ...that's it! Soba is healthy food if you don't have allergy.
I ate three kind of soba pots, mountain plants and grated radish and yam in it with a dish of tempura.
This is a reasonable price for ¥997.
Why don't you try?

A forgotten reservation

I've got a mail from the city library which I had made a reservation of a book about half of a year before.
I almost gave up borrowing from there and already forgot about the book.
The book had a big reputation when it had published and I was interested in it but not enough to buy it because the new publishing books are hard covered , heavy and expensive...that's why I don't buy new books at once until being republished into small sized soft covered.
I seldom buy hard covered ones except 1Q84 3 volumes, I bought them soon after it had published. But I don't possess them any more.

I have to read the hard covered book after winter holiday...
I wish I could have read it during the holiday.

aloneness vs loneliness

'Aloneness is different from loneliness'.

It's remarked by Dr.Pillay in his book.
' In my practice I have noticed that high-achieving people always find ways to enjoy themselves --- that is, they enjoy literally enjoy being with themselves, rather than focusing on loneliness, they focus on how their success will attract people to them. Simply put, becoming an expert requires practice, and practice requires spending time alone.'

It reminds me of runners as well as all of athletes are alone, possessing high potential for their goals but not lonely.

Shape of the cloud

I saw unique cloud long vertically in the sky. It seems like smoking from the chimney. But it could be seen as someone walking.
Seeing the sky makes me think a lot.
