Pancake morning near Omotesando station.
I wouldn’t call myself a pancake person BUT these were the best pancakes I’ve ever had! A little expensive but worth it if you only go a few times a year 🙂

Is it a statue or a real cat? What do you think?
I posted a picture a few months ago of some cranes at work so I wanted to post an update. If you missed the first post, they’re building an indoor bicycle stadium in Chiba. It seems like it’s coming along well and it’s really cool to see it take shape.
By the way, what’s the best stadium you’ve ever been to?
To take shape; beginning to take a clear form.
Your Gundam model is really starting to take shape.
My Lego Tokyo Tower is finally starting to take shape.

Because Prime Minister Abe just stepped down I thought it would be a good time to share an Abe memory: when I met him!
ある夫婦の離婚と、その間で揺れる子供たちを描いた傑作『イカとクジラ』から本日はご紹介します。監督のノア・バームバックは最新作『マリッジストーリー』でも高い評価を受けました。同様に離婚を描いている作品ですが、こちらは自身の離婚体験をもとにしているのに対し、『イカとクジラ』は少年期に経験した両親の離婚をもとに描かれているそうです。思春期の兄弟の葛藤が、シニカルなユーモアを交えながら語られ、笑えるのにとっても切ない、素晴らしい作品になっております。
台詞は、父親派である長男が、仕事の上手くいっていない父を見捨てて家族を壊したと、母親を責めるシーンより。
Is it because Dad isn’t as successful as he used to be?
(父さんが前ほど成功してないから？)
successful
成功している
successful=形容詞/success=名詞/succeed=動詞
例：He is quite successful in business.
(彼はビジネスでかなり成功している)
例：The event was a huge success.
(そのイベントは大成功をおさめた)
例：Why do some people succeed and others don’t?
(どうして成功する人としない人がいるんだろう)
used to～
以前は～だった(今は～ではない)
used toの後に動詞の原形で、過去の習慣や状態を表します。
例：I used to go to gym every week.
(以前は毎週ジムに通っていました)
例：She used to be very talkative.
(彼女昔はすごくお喋りだった)
※似た表現で「be used to～」というのがありますが、こちらは「～に慣れている」という表現です。またtoの後は動詞の原形ではなく、名詞(もしくは動名詞)がきます。
例：I am used to getting up early.
(早起きには慣れている)

It was pretty good, My head was sweating!
A collection of Schwarzenegger Nissin ramen commercials. Funny stuff! Have a great weekend!
This scene from Tampopo is amazing. The English translations are a little different but pretty good.
Do you move the pork to the side for later? Do you tap the pork?
One fine day…
an old man and I
went out for a bite.
He’d studied ramen for 40 years
and said he’d initiate me
into the art.
– Let’s stop.
– Why?
Your stupid book’s
making me hungry too.
