GWおわりましたね。
今日は久々の学校、めっさ疲れました。。。
今日めっさ寒かったです!!
・・・5月だよね!?
朝ブレザー着ようか、とっても迷ったあげく、
持って行って大失敗。
着たら暑い。
着なければ朝寒い。
なんと人間は自然に脆いのか。。。
いや、当たり前だけどね。
今日はこれぐらいでいいかな?
ネタを出すのにだいぶ苦労したわ。。。
5月6日、振替休日
GW最終日ですね。
昨日、河合の全統マーク模試を受けたんですが、
英語で少し気になる英文があったので、書いてみようと思います。
Researchers have made an interesting discovery about modern-day men --- they spend a lot of time and money on their appearance. Today, global sales of male grooming products bring in billions of dollars a year, and the industry is not expected to slow down. Is this a sign that the modern man is becoming increasingly concerned about his appearance? Some people might think that fashion-conscious men are a new phenomenon, but a look through history reveals that men have actually been concerned about their looks for thousands of years.
The first documented cases of fashionable men occurred around 10,000 BC in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians stressed the importance of good hygiene and health. Men applied oils and creams to their skin to protect themselves from the hot sun and dry winds of the desert. In addition to the perfumes they wore, men also had their own makeup boxes that contained special jars of colored makeup which they applied to their eyes, lips, cheeks, and nails. All of this was done not to impress others but rather to keep their ancient gods happy.
The ancient Greeks also valued male health and beauty, but in contrast to the Egyptians, the Greeks' use of cosmetics was for purely aesthetic reasons. Greek men applied flower-based oils to their skin and quickly adopted Egyptians oils after the Greek king Alexander the Great took over Egypt in 332 BC. Alexander was the man responsible for making the use of oils common practice in daily Greek life. During his conquests, he would take plant cutting and send them to
Athens, where they were grown and made into perfumes and various skin oils for men to use before and after bathing. Alexander felt so strongly about cosmetics that when he defeated King Darius of Persia, he even threw away the king's makeup box of ointments and perfumes as a symbol of victory.
Around 100 AD, the Romans took men's grooming products to a whole new level. Like the Greeks, Roman men used skin oils before and after bathing, but they were also passionate about the beauty of their face and hair. They used a combination of sheep's fat and blood on their fingernails for nail polish and frequently dyed their hair blond to make themselves appear younger. They had their own versions of eye shadow, blush for the cheeks. and powder for whitening the face. For the Romans it seems nothing was off limits in their search to make men more attractive. Vanity did not have a negative connotation, but instead was viewed as a natural consequence of health and beauty.
In 16th-century England, the emphasis on male beauty was directly tied to financial status. Rich English men would use face-whitening powder because they believed a pale face was the sign of wealth. Keeping their skin healthy was elaborate procedure that consisted of bathing in wine, applying oils to the skin, and using an egg and honey mask on the face to hide wrinkles. On formal occasions, men further enhanced their appearance by using lipstick, bleaching their hair, and wearing wigs.
It is often said that history repeats itself --- trends come and go as people's beliefs and values change over time and cultures interact with one another. Modern man's interact in grooming and cosmetic products is not a new phenomenon. The eye creams, facial masks, and moisturizers that men are buying today are simply different versions of the same idea, one that began 12,000 years ago. The history of fashionable men shows that the more things changes, the more they stay the same.

5月4日、みどりの日。
GW2日目ですね、EMONGA830です。
今日は一日家にいました。
そして、先日借りてきた「ブレイブストーリー」のDVDを見てました。
あんな感動的で、メッセージ性のあふれる映画だったとは・・・!
めっさ感動しました!!
ここ最近、TSUTAYAでDVDを借りて見てます。
この前は、映画けいおん!を借りましたね。(この時は無料チケットがあったからでしたが)
TVで見るのとはまた違いますね。
TVだと、CMがあったりして感動が半減してしまいますよね。。。
2時間、じっくり見るのも、悪くない。
そして、「ブレイブストーリー」を見終わったあと、ぱっと地上波をつけると、
「阪急電車」がやってました。
今度、借りに行こうかな・・・?

5月3日、憲法記念日です。
今日は、
FUNKY MARKETに行って来ました!!
どういうイベントかというと、
ざっくり言うと、ラジオ局が主催するフリーマーケットです。
そこにアーティストのライブがあったり、公開生放送があったり、DJさんたちと触れ合うこともできる、イベントです。
僕は2年ぶりの参加でした!!

そう、この写真を見ての通り、場所は万博記念公園!
・・・やたらと交通の便が悪い!
一応10分に1本来るんだけど、
4両編成のモノレールだから、すぐいっぱいになる。
まぁ、愚痴はこれぐらいにしておいて、
僕のお目当ての店は・・・

ちょっと見づらいけど、そう!ROCK KIDS 802ブース!!
ほぼ、このために行ったようなものなので、
他のショップでは商品を買いませんでしたwww
(まぁ、けいおん!のフィギュアを買おうか迷いはしたけどね)
そして、ずっとオチケンさんの追っかけをしてましたwww
ほ、他にも追っかけしている人がいたんだからねっ!!
あっ、バーターのほうがいいのかな?
オチケン軍団の結成の時でしたwww
そして、twitterでも上げましたが、
最後にリスナーのみんなで記念写真を撮りました!!

最後までおってよかった。。。
もちろん、オチケンさんのサインや2ショット写真も撮りました!!
本当にオチケンさんありがとうございました!!!
ということで、今年のFUNKY MARKETのレポートは終了。
後日、放送でFUNKY MARKETの時に録音したものがROCK KIDS内で放送されると思います!!
P.S.
