In my online English classes at the start of the week, I’m usually asked about my weekend during free talk. But since I spend most of my free time watching Timelesz Project, I never have much to say.
At the start of the year, I learned about the passing of someone who had been a great help to me, and I couldn’t focus on anything during the three-day weekend. If it weren’t for the sumo match I attended on the last day, I think I would have been even more down. During their life, she once advised me, “You should get a colonoscopy,” speaking from her own regrets. This year, I’ve decided to take their advice and get one for the first time.
A sumo-loving friend from my neighborhood invited me to a live sumo match, and it was my first time watching in person! To my surprise, we had masu box seats! It’s a four-person seat, but we watched with just three of us. My friend, being a true sumo enthusiast, gave detailed explanations, so even as a beginner, I had a great time. I’ve heard it’s really hard to get reservations these days, so I’m so thankful for being invited to such a special experience!
At the end of last year, we had a year-end party at Ma-chan’s place, and I brought my iPad to make everyone watch Timelesz Project on Netflix. By the time I left, I even got them to say, “Let’s watch the next part together next time!” The 5th round of auditions starts , January 10th, at 10 PM!
I bought Uniqlo’s Heattech fleece-lined sweatpants for the first time to wear to the gym during winter, and they’re so warm that I’ve been wearing them all the time, not just for the gym. Sweatpants for women are usually too short for me, and men’s ones are too wide and make me look bigger, which I don’t like. But these women’s sweatpants with a longer length fit nicely without looking too big. Plus, they look good enough to wear outside without feeling unfashionable. Uniqlo just keeps fulfilling everyone’s wishes… it’s almost scary!
This New Year, I didn’t make many plans and spent most of my time relaxing and watching Netflix and Amazon Prime. I also didn’t send out any New Year’s greetings, so it was nice to see who thought of me. Thank you! My cats will turn 14 in March, and I’ll be 50 in May. We’ll make health our top priority this year!
M-1 was so much fun! There were some duos I didn’t know, so I tried to avoid looking up any info before watching, but Batteries were hilarious! The way everyone watched over Ace-kun as he uncovered the truth… it felt familiar somehow. Then it hit me—it’s just like the dynamic between a mascot and the onii-san on educational TV! I wonder if anyone else feels the same?
I go to the gym. The manager, who looks like Matsujun, seems to be a fan of Chiikawa. When I wear Chiikawa goods, he gets excited and says things like, “That’s Hachiware, right?” It’s so cute. In my mind, I think, “You’re the real Chiikawa!”
I heard the overnight training is at a hotel in the snowy mountains, and I’m worried about a murder case happening. If I see a little boy with glasses and a bow tie, I’ll be on high alert. This week is super busy, so my next update will probably be on Friday…!
