A Little Bit Easier

I'm not a politician or a political guy and not interested in politics, but watching West Wing regulary these days. Interesting? I don't know. It was quite good at first, but now a little bit boring. It is because, instead of enjoying it, I'm studying it, I think.

One of friends once recommended it as a good text for the spoken english. According to him, a lot of phrases, implications, metaphors, satires and twists(?) were there, even though I'm not sure they really are. Moreover, conversations(actually quarrels) are too fast for non-native audience like me to be easily understood. So it takes quie long time and effort to watch one episode. Became somewhat a boring job.

By the way, I found a very interesting scene yesterday in episode 1/season 4. . Josh and Tobby met a normal mid-age gentleman at a pub, who was travelling with his daughter to look around the university she would go now. The gentlemen said, he never thought his and his wife's money would be short for supporting their kids. He said, the life should be a little bit easier. Easier to support kids to go university, and easier to enjoy life itself.

I totally agreed it. It was not a complain. It was not a grumble. It was a sort of inconvenience or missing, I felt. And we need to try to make it easier. ..

The last summer was not helpful for making my life a little bit easier. The weather was not helpful at all.



The hammer was broken by the heat, I thought, while I was trying to pull off nails from the wall for repapering. The joint of the tripod was broken by the heat,too, I though, while I was trying to adjust it for making a nice angle for photos at Vivaldi Park.

The season is changing right now anyway. The cool breeze in the morning, and the chilly night air say so.

I'm waiting, no, longing for much more colder days now.. And hope a little bit easier life.

What's West Wing?

The more I think about I'm a poor,
the more I feel life is hard.

The more I think I'm happy
the less I think about money.
