“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.” - Chuck Close.
I was so thrilled when I got to see Chuck Close’s paintings in person a few years ago at @metmuseum. He was one of my biggest inspirations when I started exploring a career in art in 2013, and I was totally fascinated by his pixelated, fragmented portraits, the many penciled grids on his canvas, and the layers of colours painted on each small pixel. He created many paintings from his wheelchair with a brush strapped to his partially mobile hand after he was paralyzed from a blood clot in the 80s.
RIP Chuck Close. Thank you for the inspiration. I will still get back to work. x

☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) Wrong person to ask(聞く相手を間違えているよ)
=================================
直訳で「間違った人に尋ねる」となるこの表現は、相手の質問に対して、その分野における知識や経験が自分にはない、という状況で使われ、日本語の「聞く相手を間違えているよ」に相当します。一般的には“You’re asking the wrong person.”の形式で使われ、今日の会話のようにテレビを全く見ない人にオススメの番組を尋ねた時や、パソコンが苦手な人にパソコンの使い方を聞くような状況で使われます。
<例文>
I’m terrible with computers. You’re asking the wrong person.
(僕はパソコンが苦手なんだ。聞く相手を間違えているよ。)
I’ve never studied abroad so I don’t know what it’s like. You’re asking the wrong person.
(私は留学をしたことがないので、どんな感じなのかが分かりません。聞く相手を間違えています。)
I failed the Eiken three times in a row. I can’t give you any advice. You’re asking the wrong the person.
(私は英検に3回連続で落ちたので、何のアドバイスもできません。聞く相手を間違えています。)
=================================
2) Hype(誇大に宣伝する、話題となっている)
=================================
hypeは「誇大に宣伝する」を意味する単語です。特に新しい商品やサービス、映画やテレビ番組、イベントやレストラン、スポーツ選手などについてマスコミが大げさに報道したり、大々的に宣伝したり、SNSで大きく話題にして多くの人を引きつけ夢中にさせることを表します。「〜は大々的に宣伝されている / 〜について大騒ぎしている」は「There is a lot of hype about/surrounding ____」、「〜は期待通り凄い」は「____ live up to the hype」と言います。
<例文>
There’s been a lot of hype about the new ramen shop that opened up by the train station.
(駅前にオープンした新しいラーメン屋さんが話題になっていますね。)
That movie was awful. It didn’t live up to the hype.
(あの映画はひどかった。宣伝の割には大したことなかったね。)
Shohei Ohtani is the real deal. He lived up to the hype.
(大谷翔平選手は本物だ。彼は期待通りのすごい選手だ。)
=================================
3) Train(〜に乗っかる)
=================================
trainは「電車」や「列車」を意味しますが、日常会話では「ブーム」の比喩表現として使われ、「流行に乗る」ことを意味します。正式にはjump on the hype trainやjump on the bandwagonと表現し、話題になっているものに乗っかることを意味します。今日の会話に出てきた“Demon Slayer train(「鬼滅の刃」ブームに乗っかる)”のように、trainの前に具体的に流行っているものを入れることができます。
<例文>
People are quick to jump on the hype train.
(人はすぐに話題になるものに飛びつきます。)
He’s not a true Dodgers fan. He just jumped on the bandwagon because they won last year.
(彼は真のドジャースファンではありません。ドジャースが去年優勝したから、単に人気に便乗しているだけです。)
Demon Slayer is super popular in Japan. Everyone jumped on the Demon Slayer train.
(「鬼滅の刃」は日本でとても人気があります。みんなが「鬼滅の刃」ブームに乗っかりました。)
=================================
4) For a second(ちょっと)
=================================
for a secondは直訳すると「1秒間」ですが、日常会話では「一瞬」や「ちょっと」という意味で使われます。for a momentと意味と使い方は同じで、相手にちょっと待って欲しいと伝えるときや、「ちょっといい?」と相手に話しかけるような時に使えます。ちなみに、日常会話ではsecondを略してfor a secと言うこともよくあります。
<例文>
Can you hang tight for a sec? I’ll be right back.
(ちょっと待ってて。すぐに戻ってくるから。)
I thought I mixed up the time for a sec.
(一瞬、時間を勘違いしたかと思った。)
Do you have a second? I need to talk to you about something.
(ちょっといいですか?相談したいことがあります。)
=================================
5) Catch up(追いつく)
=================================
catch upは「追いつく」や「遅れを取り戻す」を意味する日常表現です。仕事や学校の勉強などの遅れを取り戻したり、録画していた好きなドラマやアニメのエピソードを全部見て、最新のエピソードまで追いつくような状況で使われます。
<例文>
I have to catch up on some work this weekend.
(今週末はたまっている仕事を仕上げないといけない。)
I’ve finally caught up on Demon Slayer. I binge-watched all the episodes yesterday.
(やっと「鬼滅の刃」の最新エピソードまで追いつきました。昨日、全エピソードを一気に見ました。)
I’m a little behind on my studies. I need to catch up.
(勉強が少し遅れているので、遅れを取り戻さないといけません。)

French Ridge track is the hardest tramp I’ve ever done. It will take you along a flat-ish valley for around 3 hours and the gruesome part comes after crossing a river where there’s another 3hours steep climb that requires full body workout. Always take enough water with you when you’re going for a long hike if you don’t wanna end up like me getting dehydrated halfway climbing up the ridge. It was really awful at some points I almost feel like I’m passing out.
Mt aspiring 🏔 is indeed a hidden gem that offers quite a lot hikes around and did not get enough attention.

Lyrics :
Santa Baby, just slip a sable under the tree,
For me.
Been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear, Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed.
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list.
Santa baby, I want a yacht, and really that's not
A lot.
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa honey, one little thing I really need,
The deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex,
And checks.
Sign your 'X' on the line,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's.
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me.
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Hurry down the chimney tonight.
Hurry, tonight.

All the Philadelphia 76ers had to do was win, and
home-court advantage was theirs for at least the first round of the
playoffs.
Instead, the 76ers had one of their worst first quarters of the
season and never quite recovered. Now home-court advantage rides on
the very last game of the season.
"I never thought it would come to the last game to decide our
playoff spot," Allen Iverson said after the 76ers lost to the
Chicago Bulls 115-106 Tuesday night.
The 76ers' third straight loss dropped them into a tie with
Indiana for third place in the Eastern Conference, and it also
clinched the Atlantic Division title for the New Jersey Nets. Both
teams wrap up their regular seasons Wednesday night.
A loss could drop Philadelphia to as low as fifth in the East.
"When you lose a ballgame, especially to a team not going to
the playoffs, and we're trying to get home-court advantage, that
opens the window to say a lot of negative things about your own
team," Iverson said.
Actually, nothing more really needed to be said. The box score
summed it up: The 76ers fell behind 35-18 in the first quarter,
when they shot 24 percent from the floor.
"That's about as bad a first quarter as we played," coach
Larry Brown said. ``We had no energy, and took awful shots."
Though Iverson matched his season high with 42 points,
Philadelphia shot 38 percent. Eric Snow was the only other starter
in double figures, with 17. The final score might have been even
worse if the 76ers hadn't gone 40-of-44 from the line, including
17-of-18 by Iverson.
They couldn't find an answer for Eddy Curry, either. Curry made
his first eight shots on his way to a career-high 31 points. He
might have scored 40 if he hadn't been in foul trouble.
The Bulls finished the season 30-52; Curry ended up shooting
.580 from the field, the highest percentage for the Bulls since
1982-83, when Orlando Woolridge put up the same figure.
Jamal Crawford matched his career best with 33, and the Bulls
shot 63 percent, including 10-of-15 from 3-point range. The team's
30 victories are nine more than last season, and just six fewer
than it managed in the two previous seasons combined.
"As a team, we just wanted to end on a good note and get our
goal of 30 wins," said Crawford, who also had eight assists.
"It's exciting for us."
The Bulls have Curry and Crawford to thank for this one. The two
opened the game with their own 13-4 run, and the 76ers were
overwhelmed. Curry had a monster first quarter, going 8-for-8 and
matching the entire Philadelphia squad with 18 points. He didn't
miss a shot until there was 6:30 left in the first half, and he
finished the half with 24 points on 11-of-12 shooting.
"When you are out of the playoffs, it is easy to come in and
not give your best effort," Bulls coach Bill Cartwright said. "I
thought our guys have been terrific and showed a lot of character.
They showed great spirit."
Philadelphia trailed by as much as 17 early in the third, but
Iverson scored six straight points to pull them to 94-90 with 7:24
left in the game.

It's no exaggeration, when you want to be careful, very careful, there's an awful lot you shouldn't do.
It's kind of like those people with severe OCD, who wash their hands countless times before leaving the bathroom, who check the front door is locked again and again before setting foot into the lift.
But it's not quite the same tho...
When you're looking after not just yourself but the baby growing inside you, there's a lot to think about.
Chinese culture of course involves Chinese medicine, which means there's a lot you can't eat and that we talked about that last time.
In Chinese culture there's also feng shui, which is something that's not so easy to explain. Maybe you can call it a way of living, but there are also loads of rules that you need to be mindful of.
Wouldn't it be easy if you could unhear things that people told you. That way you could live your life without having to worry about what people say.
Having said all this, it's all just a bit of light entertainment. You should always look into what people say, think about alternatives, research the stuff online or in books or ask experts... and decide for yourself!
