Fire TV Stickを使いだしたので,出来る限り,英語に触れる機会を作るために,
リビングに居る間は,英語ニュースを流しっぱなしにしています。
ボストンの住民気分:MITやHarvardに留学しているつもり(笑)で,
FOX系テレビ局BOSTON25のLIVE streamingを流しているんですが,本当は,
リベラル系テレビ局を見たいんですわ。ウエッブ上でおすすめとして,
よく出てくるABC系WCVBがデバイスから検索してもヒットせず,
視聴することができません。残念ですわ。
あと,結構,エラー出したりしていて,24時間安定して視聴するのは
難しいのかもしれません。

本日のウィンブルドンは男子の準々決勝4試合。テレビとiPadのパラレルでの観戦予定です。
『刑事7人』は録画します。フェデラーvsラオニッチ戦は昨年の準決勝カードの再現。
フェデラー選手にリベンジして欲しいところですわ。ジョコビッチvsベルディヒ戦,
ベルディヒ選手を応援します(笑)。
