Well, think me up with a cup of coffee…

The fugitive’s name is Chip-chan…Go get her!

As I wrote about it before, I have a female chipmunk named ‘Chip-chan’. I clean up her cage once in a week. I did it yesterday. There had been an accident at the time.

You’ll know what exactly is ‘Something like a crowbar’ like

The 22nd Canary English Rakugo Recital was held on Saturday, March 23, 2013, in Oedo Ryogokutei, Tokyo.

(I’m so glad that guests from other countries laughed at my story very much.)

I, this time, told the guests a new rakugo piece ‘Something like a crowbar(バールのようなもの in Japanese)’, which was written by a novelist, Shimizu Yoshinori and was arranged by a professional rakugo story teller, Tatekawa Shinosuke.

The enjoyable English RAKUGO stage with kindness in Yokkaichi

The third OKEY-DOKEY YOSE was held on Sunday, March 10, 2013, in Mie prefecture. The organizer, Kanta-san, gave me a chance to sit the stage.

Almost 70 people came all the way to enjoy our RAKUGO stories.

Dual monitors provide me with a soothing air

I wrote an article about my room before, at which I installed a monitor stand and an iPad holder on my desk. I got new stuff on the desk this time: another monitor stand and another monitor.

I’ve been thinking that I have so many tasks, such as writing journals, gaming, and watching films, at the desk. One monitor of the computer seemed too small to deal with the tasks. I came up with an idea: the use of an extra monitor that I hadn’t used for a long time. I, therefore, bought another monitor stand initially, and then, I installed another monitor.

This year is coming to a close

This year is coming to a close. I nearly missed posting new year cards. Now I’m sitting at the desk and looking back what I did this year.

How was your 2012? Me, as for my work, I was under extremely deadly situation. Because of my terrible mistake, a lot of people became burdened with serious damage, which drove me crazy and withdrew into myself. Thanks to someone’s help, I had a narrow escape from a tragic censequence. Thanks.

Let me confess something. I just escaped from the grim reality of a vicious circle and hid behind something called ‘English language’, like a child sobbing behind his/her mother. Ironically, I had a bunch of valuable experience through the ‘escape’ and had wonderful friends who came from other countries.

One more thing, I’d like to tell you about my achievement at a contest in Osaka. I won the first place! I attended a local festival as an interpreter until the previous day of the contest, which was a tough but fruitful task for me. I was a bit exhausted, though, I visited Osaka and enjoyed the contest.

In December, I was given to have a chance to sit on the stage in my town as an English rakugo storyteller. This was my first time to show my rakugo alone. I’d like to get another chance to show more rakugos at a lot of places.

As for an English speaker, it looked wonderful. I do hope I’ll have a more incredible year and write a magnificent article saying ‘it was a great year’ at the end of the next year.

Thank you for dropping by my blog and reading my article. May your 2013 become wonderful and fruitful.
