Hawkins who isn't a scientist...

I went to ABC Mart at Shinjuku this afternoon to get a new pair of business shoes. I was shocked that everything was so expensive... But, I found some slightly damaged items were sold in a particular corner. "I don't care," I said to myself. I got one pair. It wasn't too bad and it was much cheaper.

By the way, I didn't know "G. T. Hawkins" is a British brand. I might be a little bit too far away from what's in.

A man who cannot get married will get married.

The Sankei Shimbun reported that Hiroshi Abe would get hitched with a 28-year-old office worker. He became very popular because of the TV drama named "A man who cannot get married." But, he will get married.

Already the fourth? I still haven't seen the other three...

I remember my previous roomie recommending this series. But, I have been busy to do other stuffs. I got suprised that they made already four. I gotta see the other three first.

The B-word that rhymes with "witch"?

According to CNN, there's an argument about the fact that John McCain said "an exccelent question" responding to a woman who called Hillary Clinton "b*tch." I am not interested in talking with this issue politically. However, I wondered how many times the anchorman said "the B-word that rhymes with 'witch.'" This phrase really caught my attention.

Few Japanese people would concern much about rhyme. However, it plays a really important role in the English language. Phonics is somewhat relevant to it. And kids will play with it. Maybe one of the reasons few Japanese people hardly master native-language fluency in English might be that they don't try to think it is important.

What's in?

It seems like Yui Aragaki is gaining more and more popularity. But, I wonder why her nickname is "Gakkie," which isn't as easy to pronounce as her first name.

I'll take a nap 'coz that's the way of my life.

Sometimes I wonder why every is in faste so badly. And to be worse, I feel myself in haste at times. I want to be able to say that life is just a waste of time, relaxing and doing nothing. But, it doesn't seem to happen to me so soon. I envy Nobita.

Are the winners happy?

I just found this quote on today's International Herald Tribune:

"I enjoy sitting on nice beaches and hanging out with my girlfriend and playing with my dog, but that's three hours a day. What about the remaing 18 hours I'm awake?"

This is a word of Max Levchin who sold Paypal and made a fortune. Sleeping 3 hours a day? Well, I choose to be poor and have more free time. That's why I'm a loser, maybe.
