at least one of them was fine

I probably did something stupid again when I put the film into my Diana+.
The film came out rolled up loosely and there was a light leak.
Doh.

It is interesting the only frame that was fine was the nicest(or the most decent) photo of all.

Actually the other photos turned out kind of cool too I think.

My blueberry nights

I hope any of you won't waste your time and money on this movie like I did.

I was expecting something better than a story of a girl with a broken heart in NY going for a soul-seaching trip across America and learning about love and live while working as a waitress at diners and then FINALLY coming back to the hot cafe owner who was waiting for her in NY.

Thats crap.

Norah Jones can sing but can't act.

Thank God, Jude Law was in the movie. His hotness was the only thing that kept me from falling asleep.

An odd-eyed cat

I love cats.
That is the fact.

When I see stray cats in my hood I usually try to feed them.
There are some cats that totally live off on me.

Last Saturday I found a stray cat near my parent's house.The cat was surprisingly friendly for a stray, which makes me think that he was a pet but was recently abandoned by its owner.
Poor cat.Well, I don't know. Maybe he went for a walk and just couldn't remember the way home. Who knows?

He has gorgeous long hair and is odd-eyed.
His right eye is blue and his left eye is yellow.I heard that odd-eyed cats are believed to be born deaf in one ear, but he seems okay at the moment.

I will take him to the vet sometime next week and have him health-checked and castrated.
After that he will most likely be the eighth cats that I have taken in and live happily ever after with the other seven cats at my parent's house.

日常を写真に記録するってことは、おもしろくもあり、恐ろしくもあり。

古いアルバムをめくると、旅行や、友人との再会、お祝い事のような”非日常”の出来事を記録する写真がたくさんあって、そこには撮る側にも撮られる側にも、必然性みたいなものが見える気がする。

特別な瞬間なんだから、写真に収めておかなくちゃね、写真に記録しておいてね、という必然性。
だから、覚えておきたかった一瞬が、キチンと切り取られている。

なんてことのない日常を写し出した写真には、なんてことのない一瞬が切り取られていて、そこには時々、ドキっとするような真実が写っているような気がして、少し怖い。

そこにカメラがなかったなら、この先ここまで鮮明に思い出すこともなかっったようなその時の空気や感情。

美しいものだけを残すことはできないのですね。
人生と同じく。

春うらら

たまには日本語で。

今年に入って、左足首の捻挫（まだ痛い）、左手小指の突き指、に続いて本日３度目の負傷。
自転車に乗ろうと思って乗りそこね、右足弁慶の泣き所をペダルで強打、その後両膝で地面に着地。
どんなに痛くても、痛みより恥ずかしさの方が先にくるのはなぜでしょう。
「大したことありませんから〜」といったい誰に向かってのアピールなのか、平気なふりをして何事もなかったのように再び自転車に乗り（今度は慎重に）、あくまでも冷静を装ってその場を立ち去る。

家に戻ると、青あざだらけの足に湿布を貼って痛みをこらえつつ、せっせとネガをスキャンする私。

厄払い、本気で行った方がいいのかなー。

週末を都会の雑踏で過ごした結果、ほんのり風邪気味。
精神的にも体力的にもアップダウンが激しい週末でありました。

Asakusa-Ueno

Yuko and I went out to Asakusa/Ueno on Sunday.
It was such a nice day and there was a tons of people out.

Getting drunk under cherry blossom trees must be fun I guess, but I would rather enjoy looking at them while walking around.

Oh we encountered a blue giraffe that day.
The visual evidence will be posted here sometime soon.
