    From the thursday of the last week, winter semestar just has begun at the university where I'm teaching. So, yesterday should have been the second day.

    But because of the typhoon from the day before yesterday, all the yesterday's lectures and lessons had been cancelled. The typhoon itself has been gone by noon, then I've got immediately a temporary free day.

    So I went shopping, and bought 2 pair of shoes. The one above is brand-new model from adidas by porsche design. Which is really classy and cool model. And the other one below is standard all-star model from converse but silver in color.

    Show me the last thing you bought.

    In the night of the day before yesterday, I watched "Full Metal Jacket (1987)" by Stanley Kubrick after a long time I didn't watch it. I said "long time", but actually it maybe a year or two. I love this film so much, since I watched at the first time when I was a 20 years old boy.

    On this time, I realized something stupid which is definitely outside of the screen, a backstage issue. In this film, sometimes USMC troopers are singing "Mickey Mouse Theme". However, this film was produced by Warner Brothers.

    As most of you knows that Walt Disney was in competition with Warner Brothers since 1930s at cartoon film market. And of course Mickey Mouse was the icon of the world of Walt Disney. Then, I thought how Kubrick could realise this cross-border lincence? I think it's impossible for today. Good old days.

    So, I'm back here, again. I was super busy, and still I am. But I passed the peak of business. Lots of people say that being architect has so much of creative life. I think it is true, and that's why I am doing this over 20 years. BUT. Most of our job is filled with tons of routine works, like silly calculations, negotiations, checking out law-books and so on. We don't have so much of real "creative" moments. We architects are doing such a lot of dull things, and very in the right at the moment when we're doing that, we have just a little shiny enlightened creative moment. When I found it from a project, I'm a happy architect.

    I cannot booth for a while. So, I put him in place of myself. And excuse me for no replying to any of tagging and comments.

    He is a potato-people. He came out as one of my potato-people project.

    To explain.

    One of my best friend in Zürich, is having annual party for his office one day between August and September. I am sending a new potato-people every year as the agent in place of myself, because Zürich is too far from here Tokyo to join. And he has been sent to there for this year's party.

    In this picture, he is saying :
    --- When do we change into shit in your stomach ?
    --- That is a biggest problem.

    I wish all you have a great weekend.


    しばらくBoothができません。なので、私自身の代わりに彼を置いておきます。それと、タグを打ってくれた方やコメントをくださった方々に返事ができていなくてごめんなさい。

    彼はジャガイモ人間です。彼は、私のジャガイモ人間プロジェクトの一つとして作成されています。

    説明します。

    チューリヒにいる私の最も良き友人が、毎年、8月から9月の間のどこかの日に、彼の事務所のお祝いパーティを開きます。私は毎年、新たなジャガイモ人間を代理人として私の代わりに送ることにしています。というのも、チューリヒは、パーティに参加するには、ここ東京からだとちょっと遠すぎるからです。で、彼が、今年のパーティに送り込まれたジャガイモ人間というワケです。

    この写真の中で彼が言っているのはこういうことです :
    --- いつ、あなた方の胃の中で、私たちはウンコに変わるのか?
    --- 非常に大きな問題です。

    皆さんがよい週末を過ごされますように。

    Having a tea break just after finished a little work.
    Today, I am drinking "TEKKAN'ON" which is top grade of Chinese OOLONG-tea. Tasty. The snack what I am eating is "UMERAKKA" produced by "MAMEGEN" in "AZABUJUBAN". This snack is made of Peanut with "UMEBOSHI" flavor. Not sweet. It is good for both of tea and alchohol kinds. "MAMEGEN" is a very long-established beans-snack company since 1865.

    仕事の区切りがいいところでお茶の時間中。
    今日は「鉄観音(てっかんのん)」を炒れて飲んでる。これは烏龍茶の高級銘柄でとても美味しい。お茶のあてに食べているのは、麻布十番(あざぶじゅうばん)の老舗「豆源(まめげん)」のスナック「梅落花(うめらっか)」。このスナックはピーナツを使った「梅干し(うめぼし)」の風味がつけられたもの。甘くなくて、お酒にもお茶にもあう。「豆源(まめげん)」は、創業1865年の豆菓子専門の老舗。

    "Nachtblauerhimmel"
    --- A German word which means "Night Blue Sky".

    Once, I have ever posted some images of sky which I took very early in the morning.
    http://dailybooth.com/u/gsk3
    Those picture were literally beautiful, and of course I like them a lot. But I like these images more than those.

    The beauty of these pictures are realized on some difficulties. These pictures are not black and white, but full color.

    I took these pictures in the night of very fine weather days, but not just pure blue sky days. Specifically on fine days with some fluffy clouds like this. In the night of such days, those clouds are still well visible, and the clouds reflect the city lights. And then you got these kind of view.

    The beauty of these images are much deeper by coming together with brightness and darkness, more abstructive like India-ink pictures, and still very natural.

    ## Thanks @wunderwelt for your correction of my German.
    ## And I apologize for deleting your comment.
    ## Because I wanted to exhibit these images with no interruptions.
    ## Thanks again for your understanding and correction.

    I got tagged by @kisswithatear . O.K. It's my honor.
    To be clarified, this game has been started by @alorena1 at ;
    http://dailybooth.com/alorena1/1033914
    So, this is the tagging flow ;
    @alorena1 ---> @gossipguy17 ---> @kisswithatear ---> @yoshihiro_horii

    Here is my random 5 facts.
    1). I have an older sister and younger brother. This means I am the middle child of my parents.
    2). I have my own web-server in my house since 2004. It is built on CentOS. I have been cracked once.
    3). I have never changed my e-mail address since I started using internet in January 1995. I think it's gonna be permanent.
    4). I used to love fishing. Especially trout fishing in the mountain. I would like to start fishing again...
    5). I used to be a very heavy smoker since 1989 to 2005. But I quit on June 6th, 2005. Quitting has been done very easily and quickly. In the night on June 6th 2005, I finished the last one of cigarette. I asked to myself whether if I go to buy new packages or quit smoking. It was raining. I took quitting. It's done. Over. Quitting smoking was that easy for me!!

    I tag @Piet @michaelaa_ @GrudeyWudgey @imhikaru and @hamfruitcake . Now, it's your turn!

    I wonder if I tag other people, but I just prefer girls to boys. Sorry for boys! I also wanted to tag @AliceClementine93 , but I know she doesn't want to booth until 2nd October, so I didn't.
