My hero

I love movies. Especially most of comedies are really matched to me. I also like comedians who always make my laughter with their funny acts. Here’s one of my favorite one:


Do you know who he is?
If you had lived in United States during 80s, you should recognize his egg-shaped face because he is a pretty famous American comedian!
The name is Chevy Chase. In America, there’s a city which has same name to him, but I believe that they have no connection anyway.
My favorite Chevy's movie is “National Lampoon’s Vacation”. It’s the funniest one I ever seen. In the movie, Chevy makes a lot of mistakes, and the mistakes make him very misery. But in fact, he never seemed as a stupid man at all. He is just a father who is trying to make their family trip successfully. He’s almost cool rather misery. And that’s why I like that movie.
Now I'll leave the trailer of it. It's a pretty old movie, so maybe you can't find a video at TSUTAYA. But if you really want to watch, I'll borrow you the DVD!:)

Book review 1-4

"Oliver Twist"
Written by Charles Dickens


The boy, who named Oliver Twist has never seen his families at all. Since he can remember, he was grown with other children with a minimum foods and ragged cloths in an old orphan home. One cold day, Oliver's companies suggested him to ask some more soup. As Oliver did it, the master, who runs the orphan home got very mad and decided to send him away to an undertaker's house. The undertaker was treating Oliver very friendly, but the wife disliked him. She didn't give Oliver a good place to sleep, and even hit him hardly sometimes. Oliver, the poor boy, was pessimistic about his life at the time. Some days later, Oliver had started to thinking about get away from the undertaker’s house. Soon, he had run to London to find a new, better life.
I read this novel because it is a famous one. It is kind of masterpiece. There are also some movies which based on this story. The newest one was made in last year. It was filmed by Roman Polanski who had filmed “The Pianist” also. Polanski is one of greatest director ever, but his own life is pretty hard one as Oliver. About forty years ago, his wife was killed by Charles Manson at home. Sharon Tate, the wife, was pregnant. That means Polanski lost his only child too. And ten years later, Polanski was arrested because of his illegal sexual intercourse. According to police’s announcement, Polanski was in bed with a minor aged girl at Jack Nicholson’s house. Soon he escaped from America to avoid the imprisonment and never comes back again.
If you are interested in Roman Polanski and his works, you should check the movie trailers first. Here’s one which I've found for you:

Lack of sleeping does more harm than good.

Today, I didn’t sleep very well because I forgot to shut the certain down. When I wake up this morning, my room was full of sunshine which was hindering me from sleeping. I could recognize the dazzlingly light even I make my eyes closed. Therefore I’m still crying out for sleep now.
Due to the rain, I couldn’t attend to the English service today. Next week I will.

$10 bucks if you don’t laugh


I just found this vid at internet.
Please look at the panda’s lovely face when she was surprised!
