I worked early today. This morning, I attended an online meeting in English via. Facebook. There, we talked about what exercises we enjoy by using English. As I have written in this journal, I rarely use English in my daily life therefore this kind of opportunities are really precious. I could enjoy this meeting well, and learn a new expression "that's my line."
After that, I spent a certain time by chatting in English on Discord. Suddenly, I noticed that recently I rarely (or I should say I ALMOST NEVER) remember the fact that I had come from Waseda university - but, I can't see the reason why. I won't say Waseda days were too traumatic or terrible, because at there I could have learned English literature and also enjoyed a "campus life". So, this might come from any enigmatic reason...
Once (you might think you have already read this kind of miserable stories too much), when I was a heavy drinker, I could have tried to escape from this real state, this current situation. Therefore I could have recalled those past days' memories. About my past days, they could be 90s rock bangers (so many stars as Nirvana, Blur, Oasis, Radiohead...) and also various masterpieces of literature as Paul Auster, and also Tarantino's movies, etc.
I won't deny those memories of my youthful days even though they weren't so cool or sophisticated as "Chungking Express" and "Pulp Fiction". But, although I can't explain the reason why, I love this current life - For example, listening to various Asian post-rock on Spotify and chatting various topics on Discord and MeWe. Nostalgia has a certain power for us, but I want to choose looking at the things in front of me.
After today's work, I went back to my group home, and attended an online meeting with my friends. There, I enjoyed a lecture about comets. Can any comet ATTACK this earth near the future (as some users on X predict?)? We talked about this topic - and I have really impressed that the presenter actually keeps on updating his knowledges and senses. But if I praise this to him, he would say to me as "That's my line"?
