Cut and altered

Unfortunately the list of questions which I had sent last Monday to the client and I had thought I had written very well was cut and altered by the client very much.

Studying every day

Today I studied through trial and error how to capture portrait photographs with deep background well-lighted, using myself as a model in my house.

Left rice

I noticed a little while ago that I had left a five-kilogram pack of rice I had bought yesterday in the front basket of my bicycle over 24 hours.

Wrote a list of questions

This morning I wrote a list of questions to be sent to a major life insurance company before the interview I am going to have the next month. I flatter myself that I wrote a very good list of questions.

Analog clocks

The only analog clock I have in my house is left about fifteen minutes fast. So I sometimes misunderstand analog clocks I see on the street are also about fifteen minutes fast.

Complicated

As a preparation for production of an advertisement article of an IT product, I am trying to grasp the full picture of the entire IT system of a major life insurance company.

Mainframe

I received an order from an IT system company to produce an advertisement article of its product for mainframe computers. This is the first time for me to produce an advertisement of a system for mainframe computers. I had thought mainframe computers were dying out. I was in a hurry to learn about mainframe computers.

The real spring has come

It was so warm today that I needed no jacket in the daytime.

Picturesque surroundings

My neighborhood has a plenty of spots where flowers and trees are picturesquely beautiful but I can seldom photograph them for fear of being thought of as an odd fellow by my neighbors.

Noir

Today I practiced taking shady portrait photographs using myself as a model.

Given a share of energy

Today I interviewed two young enthusiastic female employees of an investment company. I was given a share of their fresh energy.

The ability I don't want to lose

Even when I get old I don't want to lose the ability to be aware that I am boring someone whom I am talking to.

The importance of belief

These few days I think over how important it is to believe I can do something from the bottom of my heart when I learn to do it.

Epoch-making

If the concept of the "invisible hand" were not known by humankind, the pursuit of profit would be considered immoral much more than it currently is considered so.

A fine and beautiful day

It was a fine and beautiful day.

Still cold in the night

These days the difference of air temperature between in the daytime and in the nighttime is great.

In anxiety

The anxiety I have before an interview with photo hardly ever decreases however many times I experience.

Voting day

It was the voting day for the election for the prefectural governor and the prefectural assembly. No held up policies I could positively approve of.

Unbalanced time allocation

Recently my allocation of time is unbalanced. I want to restore balance of time allocation after I finish an article I am writing since the end of the last month.

Which is the majority?

Sometime I wonder which is the majority; those who have never become aware of justice of an argument which has seemed to them to be completely an injustice, or those who have.

Professional writer

It is not unusual that a professional writer seems to be being able to be a professional because he or she is able to write anything thinking almost nothing.

Abnormal weather

It was chilly this morning. Rain fell mingled with snow even after the full-blown cherry blossoms had begun falling.

Minor characters

I am now absorbed in accumulating mentions about minor characters in Atlas Shrugged. I am now absorbed in accumulating mentions about minor characters in Atlas Shrugged.

Doubled joy

A good handy camera doubles the joy of full-blown cherry blossoms.

A good habit

Since last month I keep a good habit to finish entering both account books for business and household as soon as I get home.

Inconsistency

When a person reviles someone as a utter villain, the reviled also reviles the reviler as a utter villain, and both stories are inconsistent.

Fell fluttering like snow

It was  cloudy and windy in the daytime today. Petals of cherry blossoms fell fluttering like snow.

The sound of "April"

The sound of the word "April"  sounds to me unsuitable at all to the beauty of April in Japan.

A little pain in the lower back

I have a little pain in the lower back these few days, probably because I kept sitting for too long a time, being absorbed in translating articles about Atlas Shrugged into Japanese.
