Perhaps I Shouldn’t Ask for Too Much More from My Life?

Image
In the end, I couldn’t rein in my excessive spending on PixAI or the money I was wasting on alcohol, so I reluctantly decided to sell some of my shares. Since they’re worth more than I originally paid, I suppose it counts as taking profits. (I didn’t buy them through a NISA account, so some of the proceeds will go toward taxes.) For the moment, I can rest easy because I’ve kept the money for my trip to Germany in a time deposit. Still, I can’t let my guard down when there’s no telling how much fuel prices may rise. I was born during Japan’s economic bubble, in a country that had remained at peace since the Pacific War. Even now, as the number of working poor continues to rise in Japan, people like us still maintain a reasonably high standard of living. I ought to give back as much of that good fortune as I can, but my own weaknesses make it difficult. Even if I tried to give back through physical labor, my mental endurance is far below that of most people. (If I were told to clear rubb...

My Complex Feelings About Shōsetsu Shinzui (The Essence of the Novel)

Image
Ever since it was published in the late Edo period, Kyokutei Bakin’s (Takizawa Bakin’s) Nansō Satomi Hakkenden (hereafter Hakkenden) has been widely read by people of all ages and genders. A major turning point came in 1886 (Meiji 18), when Tsubouchi Shōyō, who at the time was president of Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo), published Shōsetsu Shinzui (The Essence of the Novel). In this work, Shōyō advocated realism in fiction, arguing that “novels should focus on depicting human psychology.” At the same time, he went so far as to argue that didactic tales of rewarding good and punishing evil, such as Hakkenden, were outdated. From that point onward, the foundations of the modern Japanese novel in the Meiji era—including Romanticism and Naturalism—are said to have taken root, while Hakkenden came to be regarded as old-fashioned and gradually ceased to be widely read. As a fan of Hakkenden, I have complicated feelings about Shōsetsu Shinzui. On the one hand, I feel ...

Cooking By Own-63

I got up at 4:30 A.M. So I cooked again to releive my stress. This time was "The dressed salad of fried chickens and sausage" I also added mayonnaise and broccoli. So, as always, the taste was like melting. The taste of fried chickens was good. I've continued to spend my depressed days because I had wasted money for PixAI, liquor and so on. But by cooking, I could make my stress relieve a bit. For wasting money, I'll pay money by selling equities of Canon.

I got up at 4:30 A.M. again. So I cooked again. I wanted to make yakisoba, but noodle was nothing. So I decided to cook fried vegetables. The taste was light flavor. I wanted to add pork more. But such cuisine is not bad. And I have to lose my weight. As always, I'm feeling like worn out both physically and emotionally. I want to deal with it, but I've not come up the good method. Should I continue to cook I like? I often expect too much of myself, so I should be OK when I could just finish cooking.

To Relieve My Stress, I Decided to Take My Time Appreciating Requested Illustrations.

Image
Yesterday, I met peers of developmental disorder. But when returning home, I wasted money again, for both paying PixAI and buying liquor. So I became very depressed. I'm always thinking, I'm thinking that can I do something about these much wasting? Honestly, animations generated by PixAI are fun. Today, it just hit me. I often go to art museums, such as Miyagi Art Museum. But it's been rare that i appreciate arts, except Okamoto Taro, Pablo Picasso's opuses and so on. I go to other arts at once after I see one art I should watch arts more closely. I'm requesting illustrations to one illustrator by paying money. To relieve my stress without paying money, I have to watch his illustrations more closely. I love Nansou Satomi Hakkenden, and made him illustrate Hakkenden-related illustrations. I have to watch more closely. To relieve my stress, I changed wallpapers of my iPhone and PC. Of cource, the wallpaper was Hakkenden-related illustrations. I'm volatile and hot...

I'm very depressed, because yesterday too, I wasted money for PixAI and snacks too much. So to relieve this stress, I cooked again. This time was,  "Black Fried Rice with salmon". I added salmon, ketchup and mayonnaise into black rice. So it balanced both chewy texture of black rice and the taste of melting of mayonnaise I made it as breakfast, so I could make my father pleased. The filling was also sufficient. Somehow, I want to relieve my stress by cooking, reduce money for PixAI and liquor and invest more money for equities.

For a Long Time, I Thought “Oshikatsu/Supporting My Fave” Had Nothing to Do with Me, But...

Image
“Oshikatsu”—One of the Keywords in Today’s Japanese Market For a long time, I thought that oshikatsu—activities devoted to supporting one’s favorite person, character, or work—had nothing to do with me. That was because I rarely felt particularly passionate about a specific celebrity or fictional character. Apparently, however, there is a difference between simply being a fan and engaging in oshikatsu: While fans tend to support something passively, people engaged in oshikatsu actively try to spread awareness of their favorite subject’s appeal and activities through social media and other channels. In that case, since I want to introduce Nansō Satomi Hakkenden to people overseas, perhaps what I am doing can be described as “Hakkenden oshikatsu.” ChatGPT seems to agree. My ultimate goals, however, are to attract more international tourists to Tateyama in Chiba Prefecture and to use that as a stepping stone toward making Japan a major tourism-oriented country. When I asked ChatGPT about ...

By Using Seedance 2.0 VIP of LitVideo, I tried to generate animations, "'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' or 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' Are Walking to Here."

Image
I've forgotten to contract with LitVideo, another animation generating systems. LitVideo has Seedance 2.0 VIP, one latest anime generating system. So I tried to make animations, " 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are walking to here." Reference Illustrations were two below; The Result was, About Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi: All of 8 people appeared, but their weapons were a bit different from original. About Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi: only 5 people appeared. It seems, that even about Seedance 2.0 VIP, the system is immature to show 8 people with correct height and costumes. However, I expect evolution AI anime generating system. Actually, I want to watch animations, that Harem Protagonists and Garupan Captain Group, as Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors, are battling to enemies iercely with covered in blood. Casting of "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakke...

I Have Obesity and My Body Is Swollen, but My Soul Is Like Much Emaciated.

Image
I have obesity and my body is swollen, but my soul is like much emaciated. So I always want alcohol more. Yesterday, I went to obesity clinic, and was shown my blood test. All of AST, ALT and γ-GTP was high, in other words, my function of liver was bad. The result made me shocked, and made me drink alcohol more. So, in this morning, I couldn't sleep despite taking sleeping medication. What do I want now? I'm understand I'm very luxury, because people in Kumamoto are struggling catastrophe of earthquake. But what should I do to make me satisfied? Until now, I've written English in this blog to improve my English ability. Can I think just it's great? For now, I began to take a diuretic to lose my body swollen. But now, I'm struggling frequent urination. For it, my soul is like much emaciated. According to some books, it seems we need 40 million yens after retirement. I could reduce paying for PixAI somehow. But my cash is too little because I've been desperate...

I've told myself much time, "About Japanese politics and economy, it's not going to happen overnight. All I can do is just what I can do." However, I've noticed that I could do nothing until now. About much money prepared for equity investing, I've wasted them to PixAI and alcohol. Now, I'm nothing and I still can become nothing. It's exactly same to Itekura Byakuya in Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido Arc. To resolve incredibly frustrating from it, I cooked again. I made "The mayonnaise yakisoba." The taste of mayonnaise was very melting. The delicious cuisine made me vigorous once. But I have to think, "What will I do for what, as a pharmacist and an investor?" My rest cash is a few. I may have to bear and bear such as saving money and stopping buying alcohol.

It's Not Gone Well, that Generating AI Animations, "Gather Round of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors by Harem Protagonists or Garupan Captain Group".

Image
  I've gathered illustrations, "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi", by Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)). In next time, I'm thinking, "Can I make AI animations that 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' or 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are each gathered." But it's not gone well yet. Based illustrations are two below. By using PixAI i2v4 and Seedance 2.0 of DomoAI, I made animations, "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi or Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi are coming here shoulder by shoulder." But both of them were failure. These are animations generated by Seedance 2.0. In "Garupan Captain Group Version", Mika as Inumura Daikaku were gone. In "Harem Protagonists Version", the numbers were too exceed. These are animations generated by PixAI i2v4. In "Garupan Captain Group Version", their heights were about same. In "Harem Protagonis...

The Day I’m Depressed in

Image
Recently, I've continued to spend the depressed days. Because I still couldn't stop paying for PixAI, AI illustration and anime generating system, too much, and still couldn't stop drinking alcohol. In church, about this, I consulted to the foreign pastor, and he prayed for me. It's thankful I took alcohol too much, so today too, I did watery diarrhea and depressed emotion. I went to the gastroenterology, and decided to take endoscopy and colon examination in November. My colon is likely to be hurt too much by alcohol. I should have had many things that I want to do, such as  "I want to watch various things of Japan and the world" "By investing, I want to contribute the society." "I want to inform Japanese culture such as Hakkenden to foreigners." However, like Myojin Yahiko in Rurouni Kenshin, it's true, "For it, I've done nothing" "For it, I've built nothing." Now, I don't have sufficient cash to invest...

Recently, I couldn't Make Liver Rest Day.

Image
Recently, I couldn't make liver rest days. My father recommended me to skip alcohol repeatedly. But I couldn't do it. I've thought it's disadvantage if I make my brain inferior by alcohol. But I can't skip alcohol. I've been consumed by suspicion to my parents yet, so I'm always likely to run away from the fact by alcohol. At first, I have to wipe out this suspicion. Yesterday, I could finish a report about the medication, so it should be going well to me about my job. But I can't have sufficient confidence, so I run away from the fact by alcohol. I want to stop taking alcohol completely, and I use more money to invest equities instead. What should I do?

In this morning, I cooked again. I had to think about nutrition of cuisines. So I made, " The Salad of sausage and broccoli". After taking photo, I added mayonnaise into broccoli. The taste was mild. But I and my father could take both protein and dietary fiber. I could reduce my weight from 103kg to 100.5kg. At this rate, I have to lose my weight. In august, I'll meet an old friend when we were pharmaceutical university students. I have to lose my weight as possible.

What Is an “Illustration Request with a Strong Theme”?

Image
I keep paying that person to fulfill my illustration requests. I once heard somewhere that people say: “Neither illustrations nor novels are any good unless they have a strong theme.” In other words: “When requesting an illustration, the request itself also needs a strong theme.” In my case, I hope the themes with the greatest impact are: “Harem Protagonists as the Eight Dog Warriors/Hakkenshi” “Girls und Panzer Commanders as the Eight Dog Warriors/Hakkenshi” —in other words, my Eight Dog Warriors/Hakkenshi series. According to Google Gemini, a “strong theme” is: “In art and creative works, a central subject with such a powerful message that it strikes deeply at the viewer’s heart.” In the context of art and creative works—films, novels, music, and so on—it means the message or idea that the creator most strongly wants to convey through the work. Meaning: It presents a universal subject, such as “love,” “war,” or “human ego,” in a powerful and distinctive way. Characteristics: It deepl...

Recently, for about 2 months, I had been troubled to insomnia. But I got sleeping pill (Quazepam) from the psychiatry, I could sleep very well. So I got up vigorously today, I cook again. This time is. The pork saute with cheese. The taste of cheese was very melting, and made my father pleased. I like pork. It would be OK if I can expand variations of pork-related cuisine.
