I kept Christmas with my family the day before yesterday and yesterday.
I ate and drank simple tomato sauce pasta, roasted legs, all sorts of colorful salad, Christmas cake, and chanmery...
We enjoyed the party.
My younger sister gave a book coupon to my father and gave CD and an Italian wallet to me as Christmas presents.
We also was able to keep Christmas without accident this year.
I woke up this morning between nine and ten o'clock.
I had a banana and water as breakfast.
I had a cellular phone and went to a nearby convenience store to buy food for lunch. I wanted to take a picture with my cellular phone when I found an interesting view, but I didn't find such a scene, so I took nothing.
My father went to a concert hall to listen to music this afternoon. I stayed at home.
I ate a thin, flat cake of unsweetened batter fried with various ingredients (お好み焼き)as one of my favorite food which I can't eat when my father is in home.
I was satisfied.
I did a general cleaning in the morning today.
My father cleaned a wall in our kitchen that oil stuck badly and I cleaned one of our toilets and our bathroom. Black mold stuck to a floor in the bathroom and it was difficult for me to clean it, but I did my best.
We finished cleaning!
I made miso soup with a lot of ingredients in, for lunch. Whenever I make it, there are subtle differences in ingredients.
I had supper some time ago. Now, I will make coffee.
Happy new year all!
I ate rice cakes boiled with vegetables on New Year's Day(ozoni).
My joy reached a peak on New Year's Eve, but when New Year's Holidays began, I was sunk in dejection.
Anyway, your continued support will be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day!
I learned in mixi news yesterday that Seiji Ozawa, a world‐famous conductor, was affected with cancer of the colon.
I was shocked.
I know that he is the person of merit for the world of music.
In Japan, good persons die early and rascals do not die easily? That is unfair too much.
"Columbo(刑事コロンボ)" is broadcasted as an American crime fiction TV series (starring Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo) on Satellite television once a week.
The real interesting of this TV series is the point that Columbo who cannot get on in the world and is an Italian‐American corners criminals of high birth without violence by only intellectual power.
I feel refreshed when I watch this TV series because I am the same poor person as him.
When I woke up in my bed this morning, my body felt heavy.
I went down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor.
I came in our living‐room‐cum‐kitchen.
I took in my hand a banana and drew a glassful of water from a faucet.
I ate the banana and water.
I got the banana caught in my throat sometimes when I ate it.
I finished eating them.
Morning time passed lazyly.
One of my mixi friends wrote about Noam Chomsky in her diary yesterday.
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, political activist, author, and lecturer. He is an Institute Professor and professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He is active not only as the linguist but also as the political activist from the point of view of anti‐power.
I have an illusion that I am an educated person when I think about Chomsky.
I'm glad that you know him. What do you think of his generative grammar?
A grammar book which I have says, "Chomsky developed a transformational grammar that differed considerably from earlier grammars." One of my mixi friends is a Russian linguist and she said, "I can't agree to Chomsky's syntax."
If you learn Chomsky's political activity, you may be able to know him deeply.
His activity from Antiwar movement on Vietnam War to now is wonderful and I respect that Chomsky who is a Jewish-American criticize the ironfisted policy of Israel, too!
