Hi, ladies!!
It has been a warm and comfortable today, and Golden Week has already started. Will you have a nice plan during the week? I hope all of you are enjoying a wonderful holiday.
My husband is going to take a day off tomorrow, and we’re planning on going to the movies. At first, he seemed to be reluctant to go, because he doesn’t like a place where many people gather, and prefers to spend holidays just sitting around at home. But while I kept saying that we’d better to try something good, he accepted with bad grace.
Then I asked him what kind of movies he wanted, but he had no idea. So, I gave him a choice between okuribito and Slum dog millionaire, both of which got an academy award this spring. He was concerned about its too serious story, and hesitated for a while. Oh, he really likes an entertainment…
After all I decided to watch Slum dog…, and made a reservation at the
Miyoshi Movix Theater, which is the closest from my house. I'm looking forward to
watching it.
So, see you next. Have a nice holiday!

Hello. How are you?
How was the movie? Did you enjoy it a lot?
Last night I watched Nothanger Abbey written by Jane Austen in her juvenilia. I thought an abbey meant only a place like a convent. In this story, the abbey is a big house owned by a wealthy family.
What made me watch this movie was that I was reading about middle-class marriages in Family Fortunes by Davidoff and Hall. Amazingly, there was a coincidence between Austen's fiction and written evidence. Parents used to believe fortunes of two families should be balanced in terms of marriage. Some parents like General Tilney in Northanger Abbey hoped his son marry a rich lady. We have already knows such a simple plot might make a teenage romance which is less emotional than Romeo and Juliet. It bores us, doesn't it? Or should I blame the screenwriter for the boredom?
Well, excuse my satirical comment. The novel itself is a satirical parody of Mrs. Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho.
Have a wonderful GW!
Hello, ladies,
It is May 1st, fine. Today I went to Nagoya Boston Museum to see Gaugan's works with my sister. He was a successful stock dealer in France. Because of the recession and his dream to be an artist, he quitted his jobs and devoted himself in painting. In order to find new object of painting, he went to Tahiti. But his works were not sold well while he was alive. He died at the age of 54 in Tahiti.
Some of his works stored in Boston Museum in this exhibition have not be sent in other couties except France. Not only paintings but also wood engravings are energetic and splended. His theme of works is "From where we come and to where we will go". His message sounds profound and universal.
I went to Trurumai Museum and borrowed five books. I hope they can be a help to get new idea of essay writing.
Have a nice weekend!
Hi Cherry and friends,
It is May 6, raining on and off and a little bit cool.
Maybe some of you watched TV news about the passenger suspected of having the new flu, swine flu, on the plane from Detroit, U.S. I was on the flight and the girl was one of the students of the exchange program, which I joined as a chaperon.
I'm now at home finally. When we arrived at the Nagoya Airport at about seven last noght, all passengers had to stay in the airplane to be examined by the thermography if we had a fever. One of the girls of our group was found to have a fever and was diagnosed A-type influenza by taking a test. The examiners called an ambulance soon to take her to the hospital to have her take further test to find if it was swine influenza or not. She was loaded onto the ambulance directly from the airplane. All the passengers were required to stay in the airplane about three hours and then our group and five more passengers having been sitting near her were ordered to move to the seclusion room and had been detained for another three hours.
Then we moved to the hotel near the airport around 2 a.m. and each one was applied one room saying not to step out from the room until they found the result of her test was negative. Finally, this early morning, we were informed that the flu was not swine flu and told we could go home after the disembarkation procedures. All of us were very relieved.
It was a quite experience and long tired day.
Good night, my precious friends.
Hello, ladies!
It is Thursday, May 7. It has been raining on and off. Rose, you really had an unusual experience. I have not imagined such an epidemic arises in the world. I really hope it settles down soon.
Cherry, I hear you have a backache. Please make yourself relaxed and take care.
