「増田とまったりおうち時間〜なんでも雑談会〜」の開催が決定!
開催日:2020年5月24日(日)
開催時間:17時〜(約60分予定)
日曜日のため,将棋のAbemaTVトーナメントと重ならず,よかったです。

本日の将棋棋戦

王将戦片上大輔七段vs黒沢怜生五段の対局,
後手番の黒沢五段が勝ちました。角換わりでしたが,
19手の3六歩が悪手でそれ以降,悪くなったようです。
ただし,途中,88手の7四桂打があまり良い手でなくて,
すこし先手番に触れたようでしたが,なんとか逃げ切りました。
昨日も書きましたが,緊急事態宣言以降,淡白な将棋を指す
棋士が多くなったように感じます。

『美食探偵明智五郎』第6話

今度の日曜日から中断ということで,気になって,TVerで見ました。
志田未来さんの役,途中見ていなかったのですが,
証拠不十分で,大丈夫だったという設定なのかなあ。
思っていたよりも恋愛要素が入っているんだなあ。

bare the musical in Seoul, 2020

5月29日(金)開幕に向けて,プロモーションが続いています。
"Epiphany"と"Confession"の稽古風景ですが,韓国版も
なかなかいいですね。
とはいえ,やはり"Epiphany"は日本の演出の方が一枚上かな。
"Portrait of a Girl"もオーソドックスな演出のようです。
"Plain Jane Fat Ass"が顔芸なのは笑ってしまいます。

prompted predictions of the demise of in-store shopping and the
contentious label "apocalypse," which connotes widespread disaster
