[好日の素…Tシャツを選ぶこと。]　

　 一年中着る機会の多い、 好きなアイテムのひとつであり、 特に夏に活躍するのが、Tシャツ。

以前は じぶんに似合うかどうか、というより デザイン重視で購入することが 多かったのですが、 引っ越しを機に、一旦整理。 　 手放せなかったお気に入りと ここしばらくの間に購入したもの、また プレゼントでいただいたものなどを 日々選んで着ています。 　 シャツやブラウスのお話を した際には、 ストライプが多い、ということだったんですが、 Tシャツは、というと こちらはボーダー柄が多い… 縦ではなく、横、です（笑！ 流行り廃りがあまりないからでしょうか、 着ていて安心感がある気がします。 　 続いては、ロゴや文字が入ったもの。 なかなか出会えないのですが、 今密かに（って、番組で言っちゃったけど・笑） 集めているのが、 bonjourと書かれたTシャツ。 実は結構な人見知りの わたしにとって、勇気をくれるデザインです…！ 　 そして、この頃特に 注目して���るのは デザインより素材や機能を重視したもの。 父が生前着用していた マウンテンスポーツ用の素材のTシャツなどが 軽くて乾きやすく、重宝しています。 　 Tシャツにデニム、スニーカーという コーディネイトの ミドルエイジの女性を 「カジュアルおばさん」と 呼ぶ、なんて話も 小耳にはさみましたが、 年齢よりも 自身が着て心地よいものや 動きやすいものを選べば それでいいのではないかな、とも 思いますし、 そもそも好きな服を 選んで着られるって しあわせなこと。 　 きびしい暑さの夏を 着るものでもたのしんで 乗り切りたいな、と思います。

[日々是食べたい！… パンナコッタ ]

　 これほど長く 番組をお届けしているのに、 まだご紹介していなかったとは…と じぶんでびっくりしてしまいました！ 夏だけでなく、 なにかデザートを用意したいんだけど…と 困ったときに 真っ先に思い浮かぶのが、このパンナコッタ。 イタリアの伝統的なスイーツのひとつです。 　 1990年代には 日本でもブームになって 市販されたこともあるので 召しあがったことのある方も 多いのではないでしょうか。 　 材料はとてもシンプル。 パンナ（クリーム）、コッタ（煮た）の 名前のとおり、 生クリームと牛乳、砂糖とゼラチンが 主な材料。 そこに香りづけでバニラやラム酒が 加わることも。 ゼラチンをつかうので 加熱する時間も短く、 比較的手軽につくれるデザートだと思います。 　 伝統的な食べ方は、 何も添えずにそのままいただくのだそうですが、 フルーツや ソースが添えてあるものを よく見かけます。 わたしが特に気に入っているのは 桃やベリー類との組み合わせ。 季節によっては 栗のペーストを添えたりして たのしむこともあります。 シンプルだからこそ いろんな食材との組み合わせが たのしめる、ともいえます。 　 また、生地そのものに 紅茶や抹茶などを加えた アレンジ版のパンナコッタも 味わいが変わって、よいものです。 　 暑い日に のど越しよく、ひんやりした デザートとして、 わたしの中ではすっかり定番の一品です。

[twstgameplay]

Hi, I don't know if you guys can help me with this, but I would like to ask how strong Portfest Jack's healing on his M3 can get? I have it at lvl 5 (with Jack being at lvl 100) and it seems pretty underwhelming so far, so I don't know if it is worth the materials to max it.

Port Jack can get up to 5,532 HP in heals at Magic Lv. 10, Card Lv. 110.

Out of the current 29 SSR cards with heals, he's 17th.

Out of the current total 54 healer cards, he's 28th.

Out of the current 14 SSR cards with continuous heals, he's 5th.

Out of the current total 20 continuous healer cards, he's 8th.

Overall, while he is a strong ATK/POW card, he's fairly middling when it comes to healing.

Listen: Nas: Magic 3 Album Stream

Nas' Magic 3 is the last in a trilogy and was released on his 50th birthday (September 14th). Magic 2 came out earlier this summer; this is the second year he has two new albums. In 2021, King's Disease II and the first Magic album came out. M3 is his 17th album, making his discography even more distinct beyond his palpable rhymes due to its unusual length. He confronts his next decade by opening the album with the undauntable energy of "Fever," which embraces his new status as an official OG. Nas reminisces on his past life as most people do around their birthdays but he has plenty of joie de vivre for the future. The charmed life of a rap prodigy who was named a future rap king as an '80s teen now rapping about life at half a century is fascinating. Rap music still suffers from ageism and only a few Gen X male rappers are still making interesting music. Magic 3 shares the rare air that Nas breathes with Hit-Boy's soul-steeped beats that are chopped up dramatically enough to mimic the movement of a film score. Some of the most striking moments are when he remembers being 19 years old with a child on the way in "Sitting In My Thoughts." There is no longing to return to his youth, and he reflects on how the responsibility of fatherhood drove him in the pursuit of success. Nas' grown-man rap is new territory for the genre because music company executives, some rappers, and many fans never expected anything outside of youth culture. 

However, all of the songs are not about the sober parts of getting older because Nas still enjoys  the spoils of being a rap superstar on the romantically fickle "Blue Bentley." "Japanese Soul Bar" is a direct admission that it is probably time for his first biopic as he wonders who could portray him.  Lil Wayne is the only guest on Magic 3, and he drops 24 giddy verses in his unmistakable nasally flow on "Never Die." Nas is clear that reaching his fifth decade will be approached with the same coolness as his previous ones and he also says that he heard the '50s are when you get "really rich in all ways." 

The sum of seven consuming albums in the past four years has set a new paradigm for rap as it gets older. It feels symbolic that as Nas has turned 50 so has the genre and he still has something to say. He recently challenged his Gen X peers to follow him by creating music from the heart instead of following trends. LL Cool J, Q-Tip, KRS-One, Mount Westmore, and Shabazz Palaces already agree with him but it remains to be seen who else will add to rap's 50-plus legacy.

Seeing Kix's last ever live show Part 1- the rant

Gonna preface this post with the fact that there's going to be a lot of complaining and lamenting and it doesn't have a happy ending, so if that makes you upset then don't read it

in order to understand my mood throughout this entire event, I need to explain what happened in May first or you won't understand why I'm so devastated:

On the last night of M3, during Kix's performance, they announced their sudden retirement at the end of the summer, and announced their final show date as Sept 17th at the Merriweather again. The next day, I emailed Mark Schenker (Kix's bassist and PR guy) about potentially getting photo credentials for the final show. I figured what's the harm in asking, as Mark's been very kind to me over the past year and already got me photo passes twice. To my surprise, he said that I could, and that I should message him when the show gets closer. I even asked him what kind of ticket I should get for the final show, since I didn't know how the Merriweather handles photographers. He replied that he didn't know what types of tickets there were, and that all he knew was that they went on sale the next day.

This was the last time he ever spoke to me.

Last Sunday, I emailed Mark, reminding him about my credentials for the final show. All last week, I was obsessively refreshing my emails, waiting for that email from him to pop up, saying "you're all set" like always.

It never came.

Mark has always been a man of very little words in my experience, and he also always tended to respond at the last second (like the day OF the show hours prior to doors opening), so I kept my faith. I could just feel something was wrong, though- when at least 5 days went by and still just nothing. Every day I was looking for a sign that things would go okay, but by Friday I have to admit I started losing faith. I emailed Mark again on Saturday, simply forwarding my first email to him in case it got buried somehow.

I just had this gut feeling I wasn't going to be so fortunate this time around.

I constantly refreshed my emails. I did it at work. I did it while driving. I did it in the middle of the night. I did it in the rain. I did it waiting outside the venue. I did it after the box office told me they didn't have a photo pass for me.

Nothing.

By the time Sunday came around and I still had no word from Mark, I was essentially depressed. I was insatiably upset and lethargic. I wasn't even excited for the show anymore. I couldn't think of any way I could possibly enjoy myself, knowing that the biggest night of my photography career- the biggest gig I would ever shoot, the pivotal moment I had been waiting for all fucking summer (for FOUR MONTHS AND THEN SOME)- was all a fucking lie. I spent every day since May 8th believing I would be in the photo pit for Kix's last ever show. I told people. I made plans. It was everything to me.

My last gleaming bit of hope was when I was waiting in line to get into the venue. By some miracle, maybe there was a pass for me, and Mark just forgot to tell me.

Nothing.

I emailed him one last time in vain. I don't know why I did. The box office people told me to, so I guess I felt like I had to. I stood there in the rain for the next 20 minutes, again, obsessively refreshing my emails. I begged the box office people to contact Mark somehow, but they said they don't have that power.

That's when I officially gave up.

I began to walk back to my car in the pouring rain- a 6 minute walk- to put my camera back. I'd come all this way for nothing. Yes, I was still going to the show, but it felt completely pointless now. Over the past year, Kix and I have had this sort of love affair going- with my photographing them and emailing Mark, with Steve holding my hand and loving my artwork when I gave it to him, with me meeting all them (minus Mark).

All of that just over the past 11 months- and this is how it fucking ended.

I cried as I walked back, feeling like a fucking idiot for ever believing I would actually be in the pit for a gig that huge. I got soaked, I was cold, and I was absolutely, totally heartbroken. It was all over. It was officially proven to be hopeless. I couldn't move. I couldn't feel. I just wanted to hide away.

Once I got in the venue, I smiled sadly to myself, because the sight of Merriweather made me feel like I was back at M3- but everything felt wrong. M3 was at the peak of springtime, it was sunny and warm and bright and happy- whereas this was drenched, gloomy, cloudy, dark, and just all around sad. It was like I was in the Upside Down version of the Merriweather. Everything was there, but everything felt wrong.

I ended up getting a shirt and some other merch, downed an orange crush in under 2 minutes and bought another immediately after, and went to my seat. Uncomfortably numb at this point. I saw all the photographers getting ready right below me, as my seat was all the way to stage left and second row from the front where the entrance to the pit was.

I started crying when I saw the photographers gathering. I was supposed to be with them. I was told I would be with them. It was supposed to be me, too. It was a fucking lie. I didn't feel special at all; I felt like a spoiled fucking kid who didn't get what they wanted.

So in conclusion: I got my heart completely shattered last night. I am extremely angry with Mark Schenker. I cannot believe such a wonderful connection with a wonderful band ended this way- I'm completely shocked and utterly devastated. It was very hurtful and invalidating to me as a photographer, and incredibly demeaning to me as a person- not to mention embarrassing.

I don't know why Mark ghosted me, and I may never know. I was at least worth an email that said "no". How did all the other photographers get passes if Mark wasn't checking his fucking emails? He had to have seen mine. I did everything I was supposed to and more.

I'm grieving right now, and my confidence is just completely gone. And after all of that, I still had Kix's final show to watch.

Pont du Gard, France (No. 2)

The bridge has three tiers of arches made from Shelly limestone and stands 48.8 m (160 ft) high. The aqueduct formerly carried an estimated 40,000 m3 (8,800,000 imp gal) of water a day over 50 km (31 mi) to the fountains, baths and homes of the citizens of Nîmes. The structure's precise construction allowed an average grade of 1 cm (0.39 in) in 182.4 m (598 ft). It may have been in use as late as the 6th century, with some parts used for significantly longer, but a lack of maintenance after the 4th century led to clogging by mineral deposits and debris that eventually stopped the flow of water.

After the Roman Empire collapsed and the aqueduct fell into disuse, the Pont du Gard remained largely intact due to the importance of its secondary function as a toll bridge. For centuries the local lords and bishops were responsible for its upkeep, in exchange for the right to levy tolls on travellers using it to cross the river. Over time, some of its stone blocks were looted, and serious damage was inflicted on it in the 17th century. It attracted increasing attention starting in the 18th century, and became an important tourist destination. It underwent a series of renovations between the 18th and 21st centuries, commissioned by the local authorities and the French state, which culminated in 2000 with the opening of a new visitor centre and the removal of traffic and buildings from the bridge and the area immediately around it. Today it is one of France's most popular tourist attractions, and has attracted the attention of a succession of literary and artistic visitors.

This is Harry Hudec, a 508th HQ Parachute Infantry Regiment 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper who was a Regimental Boxing Champion during WW2.

Harry was born in Cleveland March 16, 1922. Hudec jumped into Normandy D-Day 1:30 AM and fought on the site of Hill 30 between Chef du Pont and Picauville.

He was wounded in the leg on June 15th and took refuge in a farmhouse where a family hid him in their stable and cared for him for four days until the farmer warned him that "the Boche were coming".

Harry hobbled down the road and was fortunate to meet up with other Americans who then had him evacuated.

Harry remained friends with the farmer and family over the years and visited the farm on June 6, 2004 during the D-Day Plus 60 observation.

He jumped again in Holland on September 17th and survived the fierce fighting in the Ardennes.

Ready for a combat jump, note that he is wearing a captured German canvas MP40 machine pistol magazine pouch for use with his M1A1 Thompson magazines. On his shoulder he has his Airborne 1st Aid packet strapped to his web gear and his parachute is the updated T-7 with quick release.

His combat uniform is the M43 OD set with rigger modified canvas pockets on his trousers. On his left jump boot his M3 fighting knife is strapped to his ankle in typical Airborne fashion and he is holding his M1C Parachutist’s helmet.

Harry was also a boxing champion, with an extraordinary physique for a paratrooper since he measured 2.07 m. (6ft 8inch)!

Harry passed away in 2007 at the age of 85 and is buried at the Memorial Park Cemetery

Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri, VS.

(This picture was most likely taken in April, 1945, Frankfurt, Germany, during practice jumps).

[日々是食べたい！… マカロン ]

　 今でこそ こちら富山でも 取り扱う洋菓子店や 専門店もあり、 コンビニでも見かけるようになったお菓子、マカロン。 わたしにとっては 東京に通っていたころに出会って 以来ずっと好きなお菓子のひとつです。 さまざまなフレーバーがあって 専門店のショーケースを ながめるだけでも その華やかさにうっとり、 食べてさらにうっとり…！ 　 手元にあるレシピ集の中にも 紹介されていたり、 一時期よくつくっていました、というひとの 話を聞いたりしていたので、 それではわたしも チャレンジしてみよう…となったのですが… 　 これは一筋縄ではいかないお菓子だ、と いうことが判明（笑… 　 個人的に 成功率の低いお菓子ランキングの 第2位だな、と実感しました… （ちなみに第1位は前出のクイニーアマンです） 　 ここに載せた画像は、そのチャレンジ後のもの。 15コ分のレシピで、成功したのが たったの3コ！ 生地のつくりかたや焼く際の温度など とても繊細で技術が必要なものだと痛感しました。 それゆえにハマる、ということも ありそうですが、今まで単���に おいしいおいしいと食べていたのを さすがに反省。 どんな食品にも言えることですが、 これからは 心して食べるべきだな、と思いました。 　

しっかり甘いお菓子で、また 食感が独特なので 好みは分かれるところかもしれませんが、 コーヒーや紅茶と一緒にいただくと よりおいしい、まさに ティータイム、コーヒーブレイクに ぴったりのお菓子。 いつかちゃんと 15コ分をつくれるようになりたい、 憧れの一品にもなりました…と言いつつ 当面は専門店に足を運ぶことに なりそうです（笑…！
