Slice of life - Thursday, 16 May. 2019

Today I learned "Slice of life". It is a genre of anime. It is called "日常系" in Japanese.

This wording is interesting to me. I associated "onion slice" when I knew the words. But I think slice of life is just right.

By the way, I like slice of life animes. Most watching and favorite animes are slice of life.

Watching and favorite animes (unordered)

  • Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood
  • Yuru Yuri
  • flying witch
  • Laid-Back Camp
  • Gabriel DropOut
  • Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me
  • Comic Girls

If you know any good slice of life animes, recommend them to me!

Ten days holiday - Sunday, 5 May. 2019

The Golden Week is Ten days holiday this year!

Programming

I'm writing many programs on this holiday.

I've published three blog articles about the programs to my Japanese blog on this holiday.

I attended a programming language conference before the holiday. I got many ideas for new programs at the conference. So I've wanted to write programs, and I'm writing it.

Reading comics, watching anime

Recently I've started reading comics and watching anime. I like comedy because it does not tire me.

I also like Sci-Fi movies, but they sometimes tire me. Because I focus on a movie and I'm really excited by the movie. They're good things, but I will be tired after watching the movie.

In this season, I'm watching "ひとりぼっちの○○生活". It is a comedy anime. The main character is a student. She wants to make friends with all her classmates. But she is timid, so even greeting is hard for her. She makes friends, but she gets troubles.

I already read the original comic, but I'm looking forward to watching the next episode.

New laptop

I ordered a new laptop, and I got it on the first day of the holiday. But I have not used and set up yet. Because I'm pretty busy to write programs and watch animes.

Chocolate cake - Saturday, 2 Feb. 2018

Recently I baked a chocolate cake. It called "ガトーショコラ" in Japanese. The origin of "ガトーショコラ" naming is French. It is "Gâteau au chocolat". In Japanese, it is a kind of chocolate cake name, but "Gâteau au chocolat" equals chocolate cake in French. It is interesting for me. They have the same origin, but they have a different meaning.

By the way, it is the chocolate cake I baked. It was really sweet and delicious. But the top of the cake was burned. It is too bitter, but it became no bitter by removing the top. If I bake it again, I'll put aluminum foil over the cake to avoid burning.

I've started to watch foreign dramas - Tuesday, 18 Dec. 2018

Yesterday, I've started to watch a foreign dramas on Netflix. It is Lucifer.

https://warnerbros.co.jp/tv/lucifer/ ← It is an official page, but I do not recommend showing this page because it has a spoiler.

I like watching movies on Netflix, but recently I cannot find interesting movie from Netflix. Because I've watched too many movies, so I already watched most of interesting movies on Netflix. I'm also tired to watch long movies. Most movies are over two hours. It is 1.5 hour at least.

I didn't watch dramas almost, excepts Sherlock, so I can find interesting dramas easily. Dramas is shorter than movies. I can watch them only with short time. But I sometimes continue to watch series, so I spend too much time unfortunately.

Story

Lucifer retired king of the hell, and he lives in L.A. He met a detective, and he solves cases with the detective.

Focaccia - Sunday, 16 Dec. 2018

Today, I baked focaccia. Focaccia is a kind of Italian bread. It is flat, and is uses olive oil instead of butter.

Focaccia

It was delicious, but too oily to me. Maybe I put too match olive oil.

It goes well with prosciutto and lettuce. They reduce oily.

The recipe is https://cookpad.com/recipe/350529 (Japanese). The recipe is simple and easy.

I will bake it again because I have the flour still.

Playing Super Smash Bros. - Thursday, 13 Dec. 2018

Recently I'm playing Super Smash Bros. Special. It is the latest one of Super Smash Bros. series. I've played only Super Smash Bros. X. X was released in 2008, so I play the series after a long time.

I liked Lucas, Zelda and Meta Knight in X, but Zelda and Meta Knight's moves are changed in Special. I don't use them yet. I mainly use Lucas in Special. In the story mode, I almost use him. In the online mode, sometimes I use other characters.

Recently I've started to use "Rosalina and Luma" ("Rosetta and Chiko" in Japanese). They are for one player, but two characters. It is like Ice Climber. I think she is strong and interesting for me, but controlling her is difficult. Because I should control two characters.

I've lost a lot of time by playing the game. It's about time to go back to a software engineer from a gamer.
