My wife and I went to a park during Golden Week, and we saw a poster for “Stand By Me.” They were going to show the movie outdoors on Sunday night. My wife liked one of the actors, so we decided to go. The weather that evening was perfect, not too hot and not too cold. We sat in the second row of the outdoor theater. It was an old movie, but once it started, I forgot where I was. “Stand By Me” is about four boys at the end of their summer vacation. They go off on an overnight adventure which tests their friendship. They are funny, crazy, and sometimes violent, but all the difficulties they experience make their friendship stronger. This movie is 40 years old, but it’s still great! I won’t tell you anymore because I don’t want to spoil it for you.      (146 words) Jaremaga now comes out online

I have more than 200 CDs at home. When my last CD player stopped working a couple of years ago, I started using a streaming site to listen to music on my smartphone. It’s great! They have most of the music I like, and I can search for almost any musician I want to listen to. This year, however, I went to two concerts by local bands. Both gave such great performances that I bought their CDs. All of a sudden, I needed a CD player again. I went to a large electronics store, but they didn’t have any CD players in stock. I ended up buying a CD player online. Now I can listen to my new CDs, and I am listening to my old CDs again.    (128 words) Jaremaga now comes out online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Have you ever built a computer by yourself? I have built a computer twice. The first time was two years ago. The second time was last year, but I only changed a few parts of the computer that time. Actually, building a computer is not as difficult as you think. Do you need any special knowledge? No. Is it dangerous? No. You just buy PC parts such as a cpu, a motherboard, and storage, and put them into a case. The only difficult point is managing the cables. Building a computer by yourself is cheaper than buying one in a store, and it is a lot of fun. Why don’t you build your own custom computer?  (116 words) Jaremaga now comes out online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

When my children were young, they had a problem. They bought snacks when they went to the store with their mother. When they didn’t finish the snacks, they put them in the refrigerator. They were planning to eat them the next day, but late at night, the snacks would disappear. Who took them? My wife said that it was a mouse, but my children knew better. They knew it was me. They called me the brown-haired mouse. I told them that I thought the snacks were for everyone. They started putting notes on the snacks. They wrote in big letters, “Don’t eat this, Daddy!”    (104 words) Jaremaga now comes out online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
