(Translation of the original lyrics...) You cry and smile so frankly. Who can want more from passing time and blue sky. That melody, philosophy, and poetry are part of your nature. Just stay alive to keep me happy.
Found 2007 Moomin stamps booklet! I have pretty good stamp collections and have all the moomin stamps that Finland ever published. Didn't know they've issued one for 2007.
I sometimes talk with Sky about what brings fantasy up to the state of art. And we both agree with the careful and deep sense of world setting does. He always brings up Lord of the Ring, which I've never read, and I defend Harry Potter, to which he is not willing to give some credit. I've been a big fan of Moomin Valley, but never thought about bringing it up to him.
Moomin Valley is written by Tove Jansson and illustrated by her younger brother Lars Jansson. Majority of the stories take place within a small beautiful valley, in which Moomin Troll, his friends and family are peacefully hanging out. Highly philosophical concept, unique characters, and beautiful description of nature have enchanted me since I was little.
先日母と長電話。思うところがありまして翌日 Little Tokyo の紀伊国屋に走り、TOEIC 過去問なるものを購入致しました。さて何点くらい取れるものなのでしょうか？？？ふむ、Listening100問、Reading100問マークシートというえらく単純な構成です。CDから始めるのも億劫だったので Reading から取りかかりました。せっかくですからキッチリ時間はかっていきましょう。
Q: Who's working on revising the report? A: a) Not before the holidays for sure. b) I don't know if it's been assigned. c) Yes, he's a good reporter.
と流れ、c) を聞くなり Who is HE? って余裕でツッコミ (だって日本では今夜M-1...) してましたが、そのような単発問題も呑んでかかると意外と辛かった。後半の長文リスニングだと一文落としても埋め合わせできますが、
What Why When Where Who How (5W 1H) をするっと聞き落とすとその問題はアウトです。Is ...? Are ...? Do ...? Does ...? も落としてしまうと選択肢が結構嫌らしくてカンでは修復不可能。電車の出発駅 通過駅 到着駅ばっちり抑えて... さて何線の電車だったでしょ～うか！ Σ（゜д゜）嘘ン?! Readingではわからない問題があっても、うん、これはわからん。しょうがない。捨て問だ。いいな？と自分を説得してから次へいけますが、Listeningでそうやって哀愁にひたっているとドミノ式に次の3問が狂います。シッカリ開き直って、Question ### to ###, refer to the following speech... と出題者が言っている3秒の間に、落としたら負けの 5W 1H Questions があるかだけを確認してしまえば残りのジェネラルな設問には焦らず答えられます。
Finally finished the last studio for me @SCI-Arc. I have been pretty productive over last couple of weeks. So I'm feeling great, having three parties in a raw on this weekend. Anyway, David and Ian just graduated. For the rest of us, another thesis semester to go.
OMG! Can't be better. I found the perfect site for my up coming thesis just down the street from my apartment. The other day I just drove by the site with Sky, thought very interesting. So I went back today to see what's going on.
The building looks beaten up. Many windows are left shattered. But people kept come in and out actively. I found that the building was once a hospital and abandoned, now is open to filming. Walked around the building a bit, and even got the floor plans.
Hollenbeck Park right across the street. It will be a nice nursing house x kinder garden renovation project.
Yes!!!!!! Finally simplified down to SIX INPUTs instantiation!
This Digital Project Model was to imitate (sorry, just looks...) the model Sky made. He made cuts into layers of thin material so that it stretches and permeate diffused light.
