音時雨 ~Regentropfen~

❋ Melting snow != Spring is coming

Some boring stuff first

まさか月曜はマイナス17なんては信じなかった。でも確かおかしくはない、『この町』のことなのだから。正直、寒い方が気にいるんだが、こうしてつまった雪がだんだん融けちゃって、土に滲み、その雨の日にしかない土の香りが好き。ただし、風が本当にイヤだ。静電気も起こりやすいし、風の強い日にはいろいろ大変なのね。
ーーこんな私は、髪を20㎝ぐらい切る勇気があるのでしょうか。

It's kind of hard to really believe it was -17°C on this Monday. Yet it's not that surprising, in this city. Although I like the weather to be cold (=subzero), when the snow melts gradually and soaks through the earth, the pleasant smell still makes me happy the same as the rainy days. As long as there's no wind, which causes static and always gives me a hard time.
-- So do I really dare to get my hair cut by 20 cm?!
考えみたら、もし私を「ゼロ」の霊に変えるのなら、多分「三つ編みの乙女」のような説明文かなぁ。Σ(´∀`;)
「ゼロ」もいろんな意味ですごかったなぁ。ホラー(実はそんない怖くなかったが)だし、和風だし、主人公可愛いし、シャッター音綺麗だし、幽霊たちとの戯れ(?)も楽しかったし、ラスボスの霧絵ちゃんが一番弱くて驚いたし。
しかし、髪をあれほど切ったらもう三つ編みできないでしょう。だったら説明文に何にしようかなぁ…
↑ こんなこと考えてもどうしようもないからやめとこう…

Try to think about it, if I were a ghost in "Zero (Fatal Frame)", my description would probably be something like "Girl with plaits"
"Zero" is so fun: as a horror (not that scary though), with a pure Japanese environment, Miku is cute, the shutter sound is nice, having fun (?) with ghosts is a great experience, and Kirie the final boss is actually the weakest shocks the most.
But if I do the haircut I won't be able to make long plaits any more, so what kind of description would fit then...
↑ Thinking about it is just meaningless, I should stop.
ちなみに今でさえちゃんと覚えてるのは、自分の手のひらの大きさ。もう少し10㎝になると頑張って指を伸ばした昔の私と、指先の距離はなんともう少し20㎝じゃないかと今の私。そして、結構成長したなぁと感心する私。
Right now I still clearly remember the moment when I was little. Before, I tried hard to stretch my fingers so the distance between the fingertips of my thumb and index finger could reach 10cm. A few days ago, I noticed distance between the fingertips of my thumb and middle finger could almost reach 20cm. And then I felt how much I've grown.
None of the above is really important, so, next topic... ^^;

Mozart at work

As a super music looper, I was repeating Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 18 movement 2 for the whole day during work. So elegant and sweet and beautiful << I don't have a big vocabulary, but these simple word should be enough to convey my feeling. Purely as a listener, I feel that to write a slow melody would be harder than those being fast. The fast ones tend to be more catchy and thus impressive, while the slow ones are mostly less tasty. From classical to contemporary, this happens on any composer I know. But it's also one reason that makes great slow pieces greater, and that's how this Mozart piece stayed in my mind forever -- I personally enjoy it much more than his well-known No. 21's slow part (well, that's pretty sweet as well).
Speaking of work, recent it's making me cry (in a different sense).
According to MrBayes user manual, it's recommended to stop your run when the probability goes below 0.01, but for one of my dataset, in spite of I've been running it for months, it's still lingering above 0.01. Last time I iterated it for another 2 million times, and the result was: from 0.017 down to 0.013.
Conclusion: This dataset is hopeless, perhaps it's time to stop. (I believe if I keep adding more generations it will eventually go below the "good line", but I feel like the results won't show too much difference. u_u)

I'm (nearly) out of horror games, so back to recent music

There are also things happening that will make me happy, while making my purse crying...
>>>No.1<<<

KOKIA's 2014 orchestra concert DVD will be released very soon, together with her new album "I found you". People say someone will change a lot after marriage, so shall I expect some dramatic changes in KOKIA's newest releases? *w*
>>>No.2<<<

Mitose Noriko is having ANOTHER best album!! She's having way too much compared to release new song (I know she's busy with her lives, but at least release some live DVDs as compensation...), and the motif (?) this time is... astonishingly of love songs. I'm not having a good hunch and I felt so chilled when reading the news. Noriko will be great if she casts the darkest curse through her voice, but about love songs... just let KOKIA handle it would be safe and decent enough.
Yet I'm actually a bit looking forward it.. hope it can be better than previous "nostalgia" (remix isn't fun) and "round and round" (the band versions are kinda "flat").
And as usual to title my post is the hardest thing -- I write whatever came into my mind so there's no a certain topic each time. ~_~
