Hey, y’all! So, as y’all know I am a huge fan of live music and just music in general. Any genre of music, any instrument, guitar, you name it. Music is a very important part of life, I believe. It lets you express yourself through songs and be able to relate to artists who share the same thoughts as you do, or at least it seems like.
Last week I made a trip to Kyoto once more for a live show, and the artists coming all the way from Australia just to play some Japan shows. Their name is Camp Cope and the band consists of 3 girls who just absolutely rock! Their music hits very personally and I can relate to it very well, which is why I went to see them. They had an absolutely amazing show and had fun interactions with the crowd, regardless of their non-japanese speaking ability.

みなさんこんちにちは。
だいぶ寒くなってきましたね。体調管理に気を付けてください。
題名を見てこの時期にpool?と思ったかもしれませんが、泳ぐ方ではありません。ビリヤードのことです!
英語ではpoolとも言います。
寒い日は室内にこもりがちですが、ビリヤードは屋内なのでこの時期に友だちとよくやります。
と言っても1カ月に1回程度ですが。上手ではないですが、楽しめる程度にはできます!やったことがなかったらぜひ試してみてください!

I’m heading back to America during Christmas break, and I have to say that I’m quite excited. I’ll get to eat lots of home-cooked meals that I didn’t laboriously make myself, I’ll stay with my parents and my sisters and there will be much bonding, I’ll be able to see my beloved Mt. Rainier on the horizon once more, there’ll be trees everywhere and rain everyday, and of course, y’know, Christmas! There’s a lot to look forward to.
I think the biggest factor behind my anticipation is seeing my Niecey Baby, Missy Elliott. Missy does not like being restrained in any way; she’s got running around and walks and fetch and tug-o-war and licking-you-to-death-because-why-aren’t-you-playing-let’s-goooooo to do. As a result, she’s not fond of hugs. At all. She’ll tolerate it for, like, five seconds, mostly out of shocked betrayal that her beloved humans would torture her so. Stage two: she turns those big brown puppy-dog eyes on the nearest human, begging for rescue while they just coo over how cute she is in her misery. Stage three: squirming to freedom. It’s so cute. She hates it, but she’s so cute in her misery, that we all can only continue to torture her. And I haven’t been able to torture her personally in many months.
So I’m looking forward to it.

みなさん、こんにちは。
秋も次第に深まってきましたね。
この間英検二次試験の合否発表があり、
努力の末、見事合格した生徒たちからの知らせを聞くことができとてもうれしく思っています。
秋と言えば芸術の秋。
秋の力を借りてこんなものたちができあがりました。
ひとつはとっても小ぶりな干し柿です。子供たちの大好物です。

もうひとつはとても荒い仕上がりではありますが薪ストーブスペースのひじ掛けを丸太から自作しました。
桃の木を使いました。独特の風合いの香りの良い木です。
