More Snowfall
When I got back to my town it was snowing again. We had more snow on Monday and the train was late. The sun, however, came back this morning. But it was still cold. The heating system of the building was feeble. But the sunlight was strong enough to get the snow over the streets cleared away. The night has come and I am going back from work to my living place. 2006.01.23 Monday

Going Back
The weekend work is completed. Now I am on the way to my town. The bus is running in the dark. I am very happy to be with my family.

Uncompleted
It is a beautiful day but the wind is cold. I am going over mountains to a seaside town for business through the weekend, away from my family. Now I am on a bus, looking at houses by the road. Boy[s] and girls back from school are going on their feet. The bus is going away from town up into woods over mountains. 2006.01.19 Thursday
Winter Days
The first rainfall and warm wind had the snows on the road away. [The picture was taken at that time.] Then we had another snowfall and cold wind. This morning the face of the earth was covered again. It was very cold in the day but the sun was bright. 2006.01.19 Thursday
Natalie Goldberg: On Writing
Like running, the more you do it, the better you get at it. . . . All of you is moving; there's no you separate from the runner. In writing, when you are truly on, there's no writer, no paper, no pen, no thoughts. From Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within (11-12). 2006.01.18 Wednesday
Keyboards: Or, Making New Words
Words are sometimes like
men and women. They make friends, and two of them have a fall in[to] love with one another. The two who are in love go out and seen together frequently. When they are together regularly, they make it public that they have a strong connection. They even become a family and have a baby. 2006.01.15 Sunday
Animation
Motion pictures generally have actors moving and talking in them. Some of them are stars in the pictures.
There are another sort of motion pictures, in which you see no actors. Those players give voices only. The animals, boys, girls, men and women in this sort of pictures are made of painted colors and lines. They make moves, sometimes naturally and sometimes unnaturally but with a good effect. This sort of moving picture goes by the name of "animation." Animations, or animated pictures became noted by an American named Walt Disney and his men. He made animations chiefly for the young, from the 1930's to 60's. Japan, in addition to Disney, has had a number of men seriously making animations, like Osamu TEZUKA, Hayao MIYAZAKI, and so on. |
