The Merchant of Venice

I am watching The Merchant of Venice on TV. This movie is originated by William Shakespeare, so I would like to watch it with English sound and subtitle, but this channel can be switched English sound, but it can not be switched English subtitle.

I would like to write review.

No idea...

I should write my blog until January, but I do not have ideas and topics for blogging, so I will write about my hobbies.

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso

I watched Nuovo Cinema Paradiso. This movie is Italian movie. This movie is called Cinema Paradiso in English and New Cinema Paradise in Japanese. I watched this movie twice. The first time was when I was high school student. I was cried at last the first time, but I did not in twice.[53w]

My favorite book

I like this book "Neko no kyaku". I knew this book when I was junior high school student. I listened to this book as radio drama. The radio program was broadcasted Monday to Friday. A Reader read one book everyweek. The Radio program and reading was very good. I think the program was a greatest radio dorama program, but it was ended when I was high school student.
The author is Takashi Hiraide. He is a poet. He alive now. He is a professor of Tama Art school in Tokyo. Neko no kyaku was published in 2001. This book is early work of Hiraide Takashi. So the writing is not so good, but story is great. The story based on author's real experience in 1980s. My birth year is 1988. That is make the book entice. "Neko" means cat is in the title of the book. However this book is not for cat lover. The story is very daily. The story goes Hiraide, his wife and cat, named Chibi. I recomend this book very much. If you want to read it, let me know. I lent it you. I have two this book.[194w]

Dancer in the Dark

I watched Dancer in the Dark. Thi is very tragedy movie. I will would not watch this movie again. I knew the name of the movie when I was junior high school student. Maybe, the movie was out then. The star of the movie is Bjork. Do you know her? She is famous singer in Iceland. I know her name, but I do not know well about her and her songs. This movie was shot the way of Dogme95. Dogma95 is a way of shooting of film. This way uses hand camera, so if someone who do not know Bjork and actors, maybe he will think the movie is a document film.

I will not explain the story of the movie. The story is so tragedy, but in the play there are many musical scene, if the scene is not happy scene. That scene and actiong is very strange, and it makes more effective the scene. I recomend this movie, but you should prepare if you watch this movie I think. [171w]

Christmas

Yesterday was Christmas eve. I went to down town my high school friends. They are 4 people. One of them goes to KGU. However three of them goes to different school. One of them goes to Kumamoto university, the other goes Sojo university and last one lives in Canada now. He returned to Kumamoto to join Seijin shiki. He said he will back to Canada after Seijin shiki, and he will back to Kumamoto again next April. We planed to gather at 2 pm, but there was no one when I arrived. Everyone mailed to me they are late, so I walked around the down town. There were lot of people in down town. First I went to NewS and I saw clothes. I met one of my university's friend. She worked in NewS. I talked with her few minute, and I went out there. About 2:30, One of my friend came to down town. He is a one who goes to Sojo university. I and he went to Tower records in PARCO to see CD. He bought two Massmissile's CD. I wanted to buy e.s.t.'s CD album, and I inclined to do so, but the CD what I want was import CD. I would like to buy Japanese version. When I buy abroad CD, I make sure to buy Japanese version, because some Japanese version CD have bonus trucks. Few minute later, my friend the one who live in Canada, came. We went to 8th level of PARCO. In the 8th level floor has Shimamura music. I would have liked to see guitars. There were many guitars in the shop. I enjoyed see it very much. We went out of PARCO but we had no plan to do. I would have go to Karaoke, but my friends said want to play billiard, so we went to an Internet cafe. The Internet cafe is my work place. We got our seats, but billiard was full, so we played video games and read Manga books. I thought we should have go to Karaoke. About after one hour, my friend who goes to KGU came to there. At 5:30, last one who goes to Kumamoto university, came to down town. We went out to down town, and went to eat Koren food. It was so hot and so good. We enjoyed very much. [398w]

He sung songs, and he showed to people his new CD. People asked to sing his new song, but he denied. When Sally was on a break, she asked to back her work, Mr Parry said Zapp missed his CD. Zapp was angry. After few minute, the police came to Happy Hills and started to investigate. Sally saw the list of jobs for today.

Essay 2-6 Learning with computer

I often use computer everyday and people also do. I use computer in classes at my university. I often write report, surf Internet, send and receive e-mail, and create and edit my blog post. A computer is very useful tool for us. A computer helps us to get many information for our life.

It is very easy and helpful way use Internet to gather a lot of information, and it is easy to connect and communicate with all over the world. A computer and the Internet have a possibility to expand our world and actions. They have many good points, but it has some bad points and dangers.

It is easy way to gather information on the Internet. That is true, but it is difficult to find a collect information's, because there are a large amount of information. They are included wrong information. So we should have skills to make sure reality of information.

A computer have many soft wares, tools and devices. I often use Microsoft Word, Excel. I rarely use Power Point. Those soft wares are very useful. It is easy to make documents, and to print it out. We have many free charge soft ware and tools on the Internet. We can download that easy and quickly, but we must be careful to download and use them. There is a danger of computer viruses and spy wares.

To study computer is good, but sometime I feel it is boring, because that is a kind of messy. The first, to study with computer, I should sit down in front of a computer when I use a computer. The second, on the Internet, there are a lot of interesting sites and homepages on the Internet unfortunately. They bate and interrupt me, and in many time I lose it. We need a computer to use a computer. The third, to type a keyboard fast is not easy. If someone could not do that, it takes a long time to finish his works.

As can be seen, studying with computer have good points and bad points. [347w-840w]

Essay 2-5 Kumamoto! Kumamoto? Kumamoto!!

I live in Kumamoto for 14 years. I moved to Kumamoto when I was six. I do not well about Kumamoto and I do not think I am not being to Kumamoto, but it is OK. I will try to write about it.

Kumamoto is a one of the prefecture of Japan. It is in south of Japan. Summer is very hot and humid. Winter is very cold. Some time, snow falls. I live in Kumamoto city. My house is placed near down town of Kumamoto city. Kumamoto city is capital city of Kumamoto.

In Kumamoto city, there is Kumaomto castle. Kumamoto castle build by Kiyomasa Kato. He was a top of general and master of architect. He is said very good at building of Ishigaki wall. We can into the castle. In the castle, many staffs are displayed, such a Japanese katana sword and Shach hoko. You can go top of the castle and see view of Kumamoto city. In new years day, there are many people come to top of the castle to see rising of the sun. I have been to top of the castle once or twice when I was a child. I remember I cried. I hate high places. If you were lackey, you can see some ninja in the field of the castle.

I like more Kumamoto museum than Kumamoto castle. Kumamoto museum is near the Kumamotocastle. I used to go there many times when I was elementary school. Having school name plate, pupils could enter into the museum for free of charge.

In aso city, there is Mt. Aso. Mt Aso has great caldera. Its caldera is in kind of very big one all over the world. There are field which called Kusa senri in Mt. aso. That is a sightseeing spot I think. I have visited there three or four times. There are many shops, and cow and horses. You can ride horses if you pay charge.

Kumamoto people eat meat of horse. That is very famous. The low meat of horse is called basashi. You can cook horse meat many way. The horse of meat is very good I think. You should try it.

Do you want to go Kumamoto? I hope you like it.

Community

I am not in any clubs and circles in KGU, so I am in very few community. High school friend, university friend and part time job. I will show about the community of my part time job.

My part time job is Internet cafe in Kami tori street. I am in the community about one and half year. The community has members about 30. There are 4 shifts, morning shift, noon shift, night shift and midnight shift. I am in night shift. We have 5 members every shift, and 2 members work 7 pm to 10 pm. Other 3 members work 7 pm to 11 pm.
All of night shift members are 10 people including myself. Most of the members are university students from KGU, Kumamoto university, Kumamoto prefectural university and Kumamoto Lutheran university. The few of them are an adult. They have and do their own work on daytime.

Our shop has 2 level floors. We have 3 people in the store each every hour. 2 of them stay in first floor and 1 of them stay in up stair. Our shop has a lot of computers and comic books and magazines. Our job is to cleaning computers, computer desks which used customers, and rest room. Organizing comic books and magazines and we do payments at counter. Those works are kind of tough, but it is not so tough as noon shift. Sometime I used to in the noon time shift in last year, but it was so hard. In noon time shift, Customers turnover was very often and quick, so we also should do our work very quickly and efficiently. Noon time shift is so hard to me, so I hate it.

In my work, it is important to communicate smoothly for working quickly and efficiently. [298w]

BR 02-3 William Shakespear

I read William Shakespeare. I chose this book because I am interested in the Shakespeare. He was said the greatest poet in the world, now and then. I think most English people know about him and his play, and even most Japanese people also know some of his play such Romeo and Juliet. Name of my blog is the phrase which came from The Macbeth. I like this phrase, but I have never seen and hear T Macbeth. I would like to see it very much. Last year, I saw The Tempest in an English culture class, but I could not all of that.

A teller of this book is Toby who was friend of William Shakespeare. He was actor. He tells about life of William Shakespeare and about England in 17 century. The book was not bad. [138w]

BR 2-02 THE CHILDREN OF THE NEW FOREST

I read The children of the new forest. I chose the book because I was interested in the book cover. The story was so-so.

The main characters of this book are Edward, Humphrey, Alice and little Edith. Their were Beverley's children. Their father was a king's man. He fought to Cromwell's men for the king and he died. Their mother also killed, and their house of Arnwood was burnt. They had nothing, so their uncle Jacob took care of them as Armitage's children.

Jacob told them to taking care of plant, farming, cooking, hunting and many house works. The children were spent happy life, but only Humphrey was thinking want to fight for the king for a long time as his father. After death of Jacob, Humphrey decide to go soldiering. Hamphrey survived the war, and he married Patience. [144w]

Movie review 2-01 Mrs. Doubtfire

I watched Mrs. Doubtfire. I watched it 2 times. First, I watched it with English sound and English subtitle. Most English was good for me, I could understand, I could catch the line of the movie. Second, I watched it with Japanese sound and no subtitle. I enjoyed difference of languages. The movie was so good, the story was so touching. I liked it.

The main characters are Daniel Hillard, Lydia, Miranda, Chris, Natalie, Mrs. Doubtfire and Stuart. The actor of Daniel is Robin Williams. I think he is a very good actor. I like him very much.

In this movie, he played as an actor. Daniel is an actor. Daniel has a funny personality and his children Lydia, Chris and Natalie are crazy for him, on the other hand, he is so messy man, it makes Miranda irritate. Daniel and Miranda were conflicting each other about it for a long time, so they ended up divorcing. In a court, Daniel was determined he could meet his children only every Saturday. It was so hard for him. His children was his life, but he also got a chance, if he get a job and place to live, maybe a court will change the decision, so he got a job carrying can of films in a TV company. One Saturday, he knew Maria looking for house keeper for her children, so he thought up to camouflage be a old English woman and to be a house keeper to be with his deary children.

Daniel began to work as a housekeeper and Mrs. Doubtfire. Mrs. Doubtfire was a very polite woman not messy like Daniel. Her character is just opposite of Daniel's. Anybody did not sensed who she is, in his family. His children and Maria liked her very much. Through to be Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel touch more his Family especially Natalie. He did not like talk about serious things. Every time he made joke serious problems. He talked with Natalie deeply as Mrs. Doubtfire and he found what was bad for Maria and Daniel. He began to change. He cleaned up his room, learned how to cook and worked his real work harder he was liked by Mr. Lundy a big director of the TV company which Daniel works at. However one day Chris and Lydia found who she is.

On Maria's birthday, Maria and her children, Stuart Maria's old flame and Mrs. Doubtfire went dinner to Maria's favorite restaurant. However Daniel had a dinner meeting with Mr. Lundy on same day, same place. Daniel would like to cancel Maria's birthday dinner, but he could not. Daniel tried to acting to be Daniel and Mrs. Doubtfire, but finally his camouflage was worked out. His working effected bad to the judge of a court; Daniel must be along with supervisor when he meets his children. Daniel objected to the judge but it did not make anything, but finally Maria took care that, and Daniel could meet without any legals. The line what Mrs. Doubtfire said was so touching for me. It let me think about family. I like that scene the best.

Is there love in your family? Bye-bye.

My favorite place

Where is your favorite place? Do you have it? I have three favorite places. My favorite places are namikizaka, Hanazono library and Yakushima island. I will introduce about those places. I like quiet place and water very much.

Namikizaka
I would like to introduce Namikizaka avenue. Namikizaka avenue is a part of downtown in Kumamoto city. It is close to my house. The road of it is made of bricks. It looks kind of old and beautiful. Kumamoto city's down town has some main avenues. The typical streets are Kamitori avenue and Shimotori avenue. I like Kamitori so so, but I do not like Shimotori, because it is kind of dirty. On the other hand, Namikizaka avenue is so calm and quiet but the road is narrow so Namikizaka does not have big mall and stores, but It makes me so relax. I would like to walk around there much more.

Hanazono library
I go to Hanazono library sometime. It is in second floor of Hanazono community center. I have been to there since when I was elementary school. I often went to there, but I do not go there very much because I have no much time to read books. Hanazono library is not large as Kumamoto city library, but it is close to my house. I like to reading a book very much. Most of books what I read are lent at Hanazono library. If you could not find books what you would like to read, you can order order the books from Kumamto prefectural library. You can lend 5 books per one person.

Yakushima island
My distaff side grand parents and my mother's brother and many relatives live in Yakushima, they are so kind and interesting. so I often went there in summer by ferry, but I do not go there more 5 years because of conflicting of summer plan. My mother is little busy in summer, my older sister lives in Osaka, my younger sister is busy for school.Yakushima island is a island of Kagoshima prefecture in Japan. I like it very much, because it has many nature and many water places. I like water very much.It has the ocean, river and water fall. We can swim and do fishing, when we went to Yakushima island, we swim the ocean and liver everyday. The ocean is very close to my grand parents house. View of the ocean is so lovely. Especially I like night view. Yakushima's sky is so clear. You can see many shooting stars. If you are lucky, you can see egg laying or hatching of sea turtles on midnight. Yakushima has many kind of species. You can see beautiful nature, animals such as monky and deer. [458w-1186w]

Fall is my most favorite season.

I like to biking. Fall is not so hot and not so cold, so it is very good for me to go outside.
I like to eat. Fall is the season for good food! I also like to see fallen leaves and autumn leaves.[569w-646w]

Introduction
I will introduce this site "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species" http://www.iucnredlist.org/.
I chose this site bucase I like animals, plants and any kind of species, and I think dissappearing and threatening of species is very big issue for all life and the earth, so I would people think seriously this problem.

About IUCN
IUCN is a organization which do campaign and activity for protect threatened species and nature. IUCN is stands for International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. IUCN is established in 1945.
Sections of IUCN
IUCN is consisted by 111 government agencies, 874 nongovernmental agencies and 35 agencies. Japan is also member of IUCN. IUCN has 6 commissions of exparts. The biggest one is SSC (Species Survival Commission), WCPA (World Commission on Protected Areas), CEM (Commission on Ecosystem Management), CEC (Commission on Education and Communication), CEESP (Commission on Environmental, Economic & Social Policy) and CEL (Commission on Environmental Law).
The front office of IUCN is in Switzerland. They do action for keeping threaten animals, plants and nature by direct, indirect or making lows.

About website
IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesYou can see vivid red and bloody back ground and some pictures of animals on the top page of this site at the first.
You can see some links on this site. You can search animals in "Search" section.

If you link to "Help Save Species", you can donate online. You can credit card for donate.

You can see introduction of IUCN and its some sections at "introduction" section, and you can see many partners of red list and many organizations cooperating with IUCN; at "Partners and Credit" section. You can see lists of Red data books at "Categories and Criteria". You can see a lot of pictures of threatened animals, plants and seaweed were listed in IUCN Red list in 2006 and 2008.
We would see the pictures, those animals which are listed, they have rare or ugly figure, beautiful or vivid color, rare pattern and good quality horn or antler. The because of their extinction are so many. The most reason of aquatic life's extinction is comes from over fishing or water pollution.

I know Red data book and I think this is very good site, but this is not common I think. In this time the problem of environment is very big issue and we much interested in the problem. The disappearing animals and plants is just warning. I think this is turning point. We should recognize much more that we are choking necks of ourselves.[428w - 569w]

Book review 2-01 Elephant Man

I read Elephant man, because its book cover is so strange. In the book cover, a man is standing and wear sack on his head, it looks kind of creepy.

The story was interesting. This story is real story. I could not believe that at first, so I searched about Joseph Merrick. I found some photos of Joseph Merrick. Those look so... so poor. In our time, I can feel that is poor because I know many kind of sick are existing in the world. However, if I was living in 19 century, probably I think he is a monster.

I searched Elephant man on You tube, I could found movie trailer of Elephant man, and also found many poor movies, what about people who has anomaly of face or body cause of accident or inborn. Those were very, very poor.[141w]
