The 39thforgetfulness
The movie "IT" is now showing. It is based on the novel by Stephen King and is divided into two parts, the first part and the second part. The first book published in Japan was also divided into two parts, and was much larger than the original book, which was published in a larger size than a 46-size book, making it more powerful.
I remember buying and reading it as soon as it was released. I forget, but I think the price was quite expensive.
A friend of mine in an editorial department where I worked on it caliphated me. Well, that's how books are supposed to be.
I haven't seen this second part, because I'm kind of slammed. As a Jessica Chastin lover, though, I have to go.
I saw the last movie in the cinema. And I remembered how the original story was. After all, I read it when I was in my twenties . It was a long time ago.
When I was reading the story, I wondered if people forget their childhood memories like this. After all, I am young and have rather vivid memories of my childhood at the age of 5 or 10 years old . . so I couldn't understand why everyone's memories were so vague during the story. Well, I guess I understand the reason at the end of the film.
. this is my memory of "IT".
Now I am getting reasonably old. Fortunately, I still have my hair, but not a few of my classmates have a lonely head of hair. When I see them, we talk about their health or their parents' graves. Aging is fun in its own way.
And the most exciting stories are the failures that come from decline. Of course they talk about how stiff they are and how hard it is to take the stairs, but they are most sympathetic to the decline of memory. Incidentally, every time I hear such stories, I think of "IT.
I know the face, but I can't remember the name. This is an everyday occurrence. I'm up to my throat, but I don't know, so when they call on me, I just go along with the conversation. It's a kind of survival technique.
It is natural that people's names do not come up in conversation. It would be strange if they did. . you know, in that movie, in the U.S. military, in the Middle East, etc. . . During the conversation, an association game begins.
I tend to rely on Dr. Google, but I hear that this is not so good for the brain. I try my best to remember while roaring to connect the synapses, but I can't hold a conversation if I do that.
. Everyone forgets things like this as they get older.
If that were all, there would be little damage. In my case, however, I have been losing more and more things recently.
I lost my J&M Davidson belt, which I have mentioned in this column before, in a locker at a golf course. . It had not been that long since I bought it, so I was saddened. I called the golf course to look for it, but was told that it had not been received as a lost item, so I gave up in tears. But who would take it? It's a sizeable item.
. and forgetting your bag on the way out.
The other day, after a recording session as a guest on Inter FM's "Tokyo Culture Story" presented by Beams, I left my sakosh at the studio. I left my wallet, keys, and all my important things in it. I only realized it when I got a phone call from a staff member on the other end of the line in the car on the way back to the office. . ah, how embarrassing.
I am a person who has a good sense of things, but, well, I have been forgetting things like this since I was young. . and now it is getting worse.
The other day, I was going to prepare noise-canceling earphones for a business trip on an airplane, but they were not there. I looked everywhere, but could not find them.
This is something that is on the top of my list of travel essentials, because I get tired very differently without it. I try to remember the last plane and hotel I used, but I can never remember what I did.
But I am sure I must have left it on the plane because I would have noticed if it was not there on the way back.
Fortunately, I noticed it the day before my business trip and decided to buy a new one again. I had bought it a long time ago, and when I went to an electronics retailer to buy the latest version, which had evolved, I found that this model had stayed the same. Noise-canceling headphones have been evolving, but the inner-ear type has remained the same.
The choice is this one, as headphone-type headphones are too cumbersome in the narrow seats of airplanes, so it must be an inner-ear type, and a wired model is necessary to watch movies, etc. on the plane.
Well, it hasn't evolved, but I have no complaints at the moment.
The only thing that has changed is that the color has changed and the case is stiffer.
I have to be careful and not lose it.
