ちょうど私たちとすれ違いで本館に入ってきた外国人夫婦の奥さんは、“I came
here yesterday. But it wasn’t enough, I just had to come by here whenever I
find time. They are too beautiful.”と言っていた。
My boyfriend took me to the PIERRE HERME cafe at Omote-sando. My first time to have cake and drink in the cafe. A combination of chocolate cocktail and macaroon cake had a big impression on taste and stomach, but I assure you can feel something special out of this. Very suitable for birthday event.
I had a macaroon cake of raspberry. He had an caramel mille-feuille that is as twice bigger as my cake. Both are very good.
After we had a cafe, we happened to visit spiral building where held interesting exhibition. Look, aren't they cute? This art is created by Pip & Pop. We didn't have enough to look or talk closely but I took a picture. This is the moment when the photo techniques are required, at the sudden situation. I will train my self this year, and will learn about photography!
Watch situation: at Shinjuku Movie Theater after work on Saturday
On June 23rd,
I watched “We bought a Zoo” directed by Cameron Crowe. Today is July 13th,
so it is almost 3 weeks ago. As time goes by, my memory and impression are
fading down. I wish I had written this blog earlier but I was tied up with the work…
oh well.
In fact, I couldn’t
find any good contents to write about this movie. I’m not saying this movie is
not good, but it was hard for me to find something exclusive.
In the mean time,
I did a little research instead of writing. While thinking about what to write,
I find some assignment to do, such as improving my writing skills, improving usage
of English words, how to compose the paragraph, and finally, it goes to the
usage of “a” and “the”, then of course it goes farther to countable word and
uncountable word. Oh, it was a deep, deep, jungle. It takes certain amount of time
to master. I was glad to meet these agendas.
OK, now I can talk
about this movie. Actually, the most amazing part is not related to this movie.
In my research, I found that “Elizabeth Town” fell into disrepute. What??? It’s
my favorite movie!! Regardless of what other people say, I love this movie. Now
it became clearer not to trust the comments from the mass media. This was the
huge impact for me. Honestly, I love “Elizabeth Town” more than “We Bought a
Zoo.”
The theme songs
written by Jónsi are great. I love them very much. Of course the other songs in
the movie, I’m pretty sure that they are selected by Cameron, are maniac in a
good way, and teach us the greatness of the music.
In read in here, an interview with Cameron, he says that
he told all actors to make a mixtape of their favorite songs. He played them
while shooting. Scarlett’s tape was praised by Crowe.
Here is the quote:
Sometimes. With this one, the [cast] also made
mixtapes for me. Because I started to ask them to give me something. Scarlett’s
was great: like, Bob Dylan, some Tom Waits, old Rolling Stones. And Elle
Fanning made a mixtape that was very heavy on Florence and
the Machine. I’d play it while they were acting, and they would all have their
own kind of musical world.
What a cute episode! It will be great idea to
exchange a mixtape when we meet new friends or partner to work with. I used to do that when I was in high school
and college, but not any more like I did in those days. Cameron still take a
high advantage of the mixtape. Well it doesn’t have to be a format of a tape,
it could be a CD. Or it would be just fun to do that with a tape on purpose, I
guess.
I didn’t know the band which Elle choose, Florence and
the Machine. So here it is.
I like it. I
should get their songs. Thanks, Elle.
Well, it’s little
awkward to end today’s blog titled “We Bought a Zoo”, but I’m satisfied with my
research. It was a full of discovery. Digging something out of something is the
fun part of surfing on the internet!
