2013-12-22 I believe that there are many persons who is really surprised to see the opening scenes and music, falling off a chair.

I am sorry in advance, because the topic of today is for the persons who know the following issues.

I read any works for Mr. Ishin Nishio.(I have only serried Katana-gatari, Monogatari).

Anyway, I ripped off some tips of the novels, and used in my works.

Would you please count up the tips and tell me the numbers? (I don't know it either.)

----

I believe that there are many persons who is really surprised to see the opening scenes and music, falling off a chair.

Uh---, I see. I got it!!

At this late date, I could reach the understanding of the original novel. I was shocked that my reading comprehension was really low. I was about to read it thoroughly.

I'm afraid I'm past it. I was taught from the anime opening song.


2014-12-22 I can summarize my activities in this year, like "Madoki-Magika".

Last week, I was asked to do speech for raising a glass at the year-end party by the organizer.

Ebata:"What kinds of speech do you want to ask me?"

Organizer:"Please you as you like, Mr.Ebata"

-----

"Ignorance is power"

He was a fresh person, so he could not understand what I am.

The draft I had made at the day, was described a description as follow.

I can summarize my activities in this year, like "Madoka-Magika".

That means,

"It started in hope, and, ended in despair"

----

In fact, I hesitated to this speech because they were not drunk yet.

I didn't want to change the party with all-night vigil over a body.


2015-12-22 My family says that my voice with hostile attitude is not better than scare.

The Ebata's has a policy of telecommunication, I have decided.

That is

"Conclusion, first"

The reason why I have decided the above is in the URL page.

-----

In addition, there are several rules about using "family phone" in the Ebata's

(1)Nobody should take a call if the phone number is not shown at the display.

(2)Except for the (1), the head of family( it's me ) can handle it.

(3)At the scene of the (2), I start to talk with fighting trim.

-----

But

my senior daughter had told a friend of her about the above the Ebata's phone policy, and the tragedy became to start.

- Miss.A who is her friend should have contact my daughter as soon as possible because of an emergency issue.

- But the cell-phone of my daughter is out of order because of power luck.

- So Miss A found the Ebata's family phone number from the paper of emergency contact network and decided to call her.

And,

By a stroke of bad luck, I was in my house at time of the day (coming back earlier)

Well, Can you predict what's going to happen ?

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

I tool a call from Miss A, and start to talk with the maximum alarm and hostile attitude.

Ebata:"May I have your name, please?"

My family says that my voice with hostile attitude is not better than scare.

-----

On the other hand, Miss A who noticed that a father of my daughter took the call, panicked and came to think

"I should talk the conclusion first"

"May I say "I hope to talk your daughter"?"

"But is it a conclusion ? "

"The conclusion is to explain the purpose of this call isn't it?"

On my side, I wondered why this girl was confused and heard her talk silently.

Before long, I could understand that she is a friend of my daughter, disarmed her, and behaved amiably as a gentle father.

It seemed to be late.

(To be continued)


2016-12-22 - fought back tears covering her face with her hands at touching scenes

(Continuation from yesterday)

I don't want to behave as an expert of plays, because I am afraid that I looked so painted.

Though even I am just a amateur, I was very impressed that every scene that I wanted to watch, was completed, and the stage direction that expressed the changes of each situation.

Needless to say that the stage was utmost, I also enjoyed the reaction of the girl of ringsider.

I guessed that she doesn't read the book of "Golden Slumber", and moreover she had not experimented to view a play.

I was watching both stage and her whom

- held herself ready to do action scenes.

- was surprised at stentorian voices,

- fought back tears covering her face with her hands at touching scenes

at the same time.

-----

Especially, at the scenes of

the hero's parents got a drawn in India ink, writing "Sexual molestations must die"

the hero was given a stamp of "very good" in his back of his hand

I could know quite clearly that she was with tears trickling down her cheeks.

----

I ws also close to tears at the scenes. However this time, I was impressed the performer'ss acts of

hero's father who lets out against the media's person

hero's senior who carts the hero's body by the truck

old men who try to give the hero the means and direction of escape,

Totally, I was moved by the old supporters.

(To be continued)


2017-12-22 "I wish the world were stagnant"

Today, new my column is released, so I take a day off.

"Over the AI(11) ---- beyond a reach of our imagination of AI"

Artificial intelligence that cannot make money ---- Cost-effective blind spot of AI

-----

If you are an engineer, I believe you have thought

"I wish the world were stagnant."

To such an engineer of you, the followings are Christmas presents from Ebata

Mr. Ebata's Small Talk "Stagnation Party Declaration"

and,

Making of "Collapse of stagnation party"


2018-12-22 "I have to continue failing again and again for learning"

The other day, the accident occurred in Hokkaido, that employees in an office tries to put liquid mass of spray pan and the gas exploded hugely with a fire of a gas feed water heater.

"I see. some people cannot make the image of the accident"

I watched the TV news program with thinking deeply.

-----

I have experimented that "I almost crashed my lodging house by the explosion of hydrogen chemical reaction.

However, I predicted the damage by the experiment before (To tell you the truth, the result was beyond my prediction)

To begin with, when I was a child, I created the following accidents,.

- boiling wax, the vaporized wax was exploded and our country house was about to fire.

- firing the liquid mass of spray can and playing with it as "flame gun".

- pitching th incinerator of my father's firm into \100 cigar lighter and measuring the height of flame.

- firing the electric wire by failing the electrolytic process experiment of salt water.

Anyway I repeated the pretty and childish play and made me terrible situations.

----

Thus, I would make my motto of

"Human being cannot learn anything without failing"

before I was twenty years. At the same time, I made another motto of

"I have to continue failing again and again for learning"

collaterally.

-----

Anyway, everyone who read my diary, have to watch me kindly,

"Ebata have a strong interest in learning with continuous failing"


2019-12-22 "They think that I am useful as a "handyman""

Sometimes, when I go back home, I get a mail from home.

"I'll pick you up at the station"

When such text comes in one way, it's usually when there's annoying something.

-----

The water in the toilet storage tank does not stop

The remaining hot water in the bath cannot be drained

Shower tube burst

PowerPoint font size cannot be changed

Unknown location of saved file

Wireless LAN does not connect

Printer does not work

Failed to set smartphone

"G" appeared

e.t.c.

-----

At that time, my family behaves very polite and respectful to me.

It's similar to the way I get painkillers and stabilizers from a doctor.

-----

"They think that I am useful as a "handyman""

I think so, however, I'm worried about after my death and my daughter leaving home.

When I scolds, "what do you do if you live alone?"

"I will just call you"

They said that.

-----

I am not a "handyman" but a "slave."


2020-12-22 It is now "sympathy"--or rather, what we call "atmosphere"--that has become the basis for "criticism"

I think I once wrote somewhere that "parents are relieved when their children are just reading a printed book".

So ,I think I also gave children some advice

"Children should pretend to be reading a print book, if only to reassure their parents."

In the first place, the idea that "young people are losing interest in print" is also quite spurious.

Even reading articles on their phone requires print. In the first place, social networking sites, where messages are exchanged in print rather than spoken, are difficult in their own way.

I believe that the younger generation is more familiar with the fear of trouble caused by printed matter.

-----

Yesterday, I was on the phone with this "rude junior"...

"It used to be that a man who could criticize another had to be intelligent and well-informed enough to do so"

It is now "sympathy"--or rather, what we call "atmosphere"--that has become the basis for "criticism"

We agreed that this is right (maybe).

-----

This is an unfortunate time for intellectuals (in a good way).

The "intellectual elite" have been defeated by the "you-know-who" who can read the "atmosphere"

There is no prospect of reinstatement for the intellectual elite.

"By reading a lot of books, you can become an intelligent person, and if you become an intelligent person, you can have a good life (education, job, etc.)"

This paradigm is already unreasonable.

Rather, people who live by their senses and intuition, without knowledge or intellect, sometimes seem happier.

If that is the case, one of the ways to become a winner in life may be 'not learning'.

2021-12-22 We laughed, we cried, and we fully enjoyed the stage performance of Caramel Box, which has never failed us.

Today, my whole family went to see the play "Singin' with Santa Claus" by the Caramel Box Theater Company.

When I got the call in May 2019 that they had suspended their activities, I was stumped, 'What am I going to do about our family's Christmas events now?'

Since then, we have been unable to find a replacement for Caramel Box and have been forced to suspend the Ebata family's winter theater events.

I was delighted when I heard that it was back after two and a half years.

-----

My wife asked me for my "preferred date and time" for this play.

'You don't care about my work. The time we get the ticket is my schedule,'

I said.

-----

We laughed, we cried, and we fully enjoyed the stage performance of Caramel Box, which has never failed us.

Yes, after all, Caramel Box plays are the best.


2022-12-22 "As usual, this troupe is good when it comes to space-time content..."

I went to see the Caramel Box Theater Company again this year.

This year it was "The Legend of Kronos Jounter".

Naturally, I've already read the original -- in fact, I was told about it by a reader of my blog.

The book is "Side Effects of Time Leap," a new perspective on time travel science fiction.

-----

The Caramel Box Theatre Company, which has become a Christmas event in our home, was shown on NHK's late-night TV program.

"The Time You Were There, The Time I Will Be There"

It all started when I remembered the name of this theater company after seeing a screening on TV of the

"As usual, this troupe is good when it comes to space-time content..."

I watched the play with great admiration.

After seeing the play, my senior daughter was thrilled to have her picture taken with the director, Yutaka Narui.

(Incidentally, Mr. Narui also directed "The Time You Were There, The Time I Will Be There")

-----

-- and she reminded me extensively to 'make sure to promote Caramel Box Theatre Company.


2023-12-22 It starts from the opinion that "He/She is getting carried away."

I am currently reading this book at the recommendation of my college professor.

In this book, a "switcher" appears.

Bullying is said to be a process of "verbalizing" one's dissatisfaction with a target, which builds up and cumulatively transforms into anger and hatred, which are then "justified" and "materialized."

It starts from the opinion that "He/She is getting carried away."

However, one of the "airheads=switchers" here can stop that function by "making an airhead remark."

-----

In college, I had difficulty getting into good conversations with my friends.

There were many times when I lost all confidence in myself because I was in situations where 'my comments made the place stop (or go blank).

However, I feel a little better today, knowing that there may have been occasions when my "lack of reading the air." was compelling.

-----

But, if I think about it, I have mass-produced many "columns that don't read the air.

Still, I know I am not a "switcher" or something cool like they call me.
