//s_M_B 000010:Uh…. Hello…? 000020:##013_10 000030: 001; I’m at a store here, and I think I see a familiar fruit... 000040:No… I’m sure you’re mistaken…. Please tell me you’re mistaken…. 000050:I have no idea why I did that yesterday…. I really hate alcohol... 000060: 000; 000070:## 000080:##005_120 000090: 001; Hey - did you enjoy the pitaya? 000100:Hey… I don’t remember if I enjoyed the pitaya…. 000110:Hah...this hangover is one thing, and that one was…. Haha…. 000120: 000; 000130:## 000140: 001; Are you feeling alright? 000150:At least I’m not dying… I think…. Haha... 000160:But my allowance for alcohol must have improved. I’m doing better than last time. 000170: 002; I think you need a trial. 000180:This is not even close to a trial, I’d say… Haha... 000190:I’ll get better in no time once I rest a bit… Haha... 000200:##013_10 000210:||##005_120 000220: 003; They say pitaya is good for hangover. I thought I should drop it to ya. Get it? Drop-it-to-ya? 000230:Did you fall asleep drunk last night as well? You sound a bit… Haha... 000240:What could be a good joke with pitaya…? Hmm.. 000250:Ugh..I can’t think of one. Maybe it’s because of the hangover. So I’ll pass this one... 000260: 000; 000270:## 000280:Which reminds me...I wonder when my professor finished his lecture... 000290: 001; Lecture? When it’s late? 000300:The thing is...my professor tends to give lectures when he’s drunk. The problem is that he gives lectures to a wall instead of us. 000310:He’s really a passionate instructor, so sometimes he tends to lecture overtime. 000320:But maybe class time isn’t enough for him. So he tends to lecture when he’s drunk. 000330: 002; Lecture? While drinking? 000340:I think it’d be better...when he does that while drinking.. But he doesn’t. And that’s the thing. Haha. 000350:He tends to give lectures to the wall when he’s drunk. 000360:I heard this from the other students, but one time the professor was too concentrated in lecturing. So they gave up trying to take him home and just took a seat to listen. 000370: 000; 000380:When he suddenly rises while drinking and starts for the wall, that’s when it all begins. 000390:When he goes like, ‘Making a movie is…’ then there’s no way out. Haha. 000400: 001; Pitaya and lecturing a wall… I have no idea which one is more ridiculous. 000410:Ugh… Not again… It looks like you really like pitaya. You didn’t save me as ‘pitaya guy’ on the messenger, did you? 000420:But if I have to choose one, don’t you think pitaya is better? At least you can eat it. Haha. 000430: 002; So what did he lecture on last night? 000440:Last night...it was on silent film, I think. 000450:Actually, I didn’t really pick up what he said. I was busy trying to stop him with my friends as soon as he started. Once it starts, it never ends. I would’ve never got back if we hadn’t stopped him. Hehe. 000460: 000; 000470:He used to make films himself. 000480:He wanted to make good films, but he couldn’t due to his circumstances. So I’m guessing he’s a little rueful that he had to be a professor instead. 000490:So I think that’s why he gives really practical advice for those who want to be directors 000500:and even give opportunities to meet people who are actually working in the field. 000510: 001; He’s a good person. 000520:He sure is. The only thing that concerns me is that he’s so fond of his students, so he tends to call us too often for drinks. Haha. 000530:But still, he’s the most popular instructor in the department. 000540: 002; So he must have helped you a lot, too. 000550:Yeah. Whenever there was something that bothered or concerned me, he never hesitated to approach me first. 000560:I’m so grateful to him. 000570: 000; 000580:Do you have any teacher you find memorable? 000590:Wait, first of all, I wonder what you were like during school. 000600: 001; I was a good student. 000610:Oh - since you said yourself that you were good, I’m guessing you at least didn’t miss a single class. haha. 000620:But do they still give awards for attendance these days? It’s been so long since I graduated, so I don’t know about that. Haha. 000630: 002; I’m the legendary rebel student. 000640:Wow - the catchphrase alone is more than interesting. Haha. Do let me know if you have any interesting stories. One day I’m going to jot that down in my scenario… Haha. 000650:When you’re filming about a school, a rebel student is a must-have character - 000660: 003; Just ordinary, nothing special... 000670:That’s the case for most students - Get to school, attend classes, have lunch and snacks, and get back home... 000680:But such boring life isn’t really my style. Haha. 000690:One day my teachers scolded my friends and me because they thought we’re plotting something bad. And we were really chatting about what to do for the day. Haha. 000700: 000; 000710:Ah...I think I need a break. The hangover was gone while talking to you, but now it’s coming back… 000720:Please don’t skip your breakfast. And have a lovely day! //s_D_N 000730:Hello? 000740: 001; I was wondering if you had a treat for the day. 000750:Not yet. I’m here to shop for one. Gotta celebrate! 000760: 001; You’re going to cook? 000770:Yep. I’m having some meat! Haha. 000780:I’ve been eating outside too often, so I feel like eating at home today. 000790:So I dropped by the market. 000800: 002; And you’re about to buy some meat right now.+#013s_5 000810:What…? @@... Are you watching me…? 000820:Haha. You got me. And I would’ve been talking while picking out vegetables if you called me 5 seconds earlier. Too bad - hehe. 000830: 000; 000840: 000; 000850:Hmm..what should I get…? I already tried that one before. 000860:The frozen ones are cheap, alright… But they don’t taste really good... 000870:Oh. Do you know the difference between frozen and unfrozen meat? 000880: 001; But do you have to go into that much detail…? They’re just meat. 000890:Come on, they’re not just meat - if both products are the same price, you should get the one that tastes better! 000900:I’d say that’s the courtesy the meat deserves… Haha. 000910: 002; One is frozen, and another one isn’t! 000920:Corr…..rong..?! Haha. I’d say that’s worth 50 points. 000930:Wait, no. Since you were so adorably innocent, I’ll give you 30 points as bonus. How about 80 points? Hehe. 000940: 000; 000950:You can tell whether the meat has been frozen or not by checking the edge of the meat. 000960:The frozen meat has a flat, clean edge since it’s been frozen, but unfrozen has a rough edge. Because you can’t make a clean cut with raw meat. 000970:Well? What do you think? 000980: 001; Have you ever worked in the livestock-related field? 000990:Actually, this program called ‘Fun Facts and Where to Not Use Them’ invited me as a ‘meat lover.’ But I declined. 001000:Sorry. I was joking. Haha. I don’t know how, but I somehow learned it. 001010: 001; You might as well have a doctor’s degree on meatology.+#013s_15 001020:There’s this certificate program for meat expert. You’d get your certificate after completion. 001030:And you can take the program with me. I’m the lecturer. For you, I’ll specially make it free of charge. Haha. 001040: 002; I’ll make sure I watch the program if you’re there! 001050:Whoa - now it feels like I’m a real superstar. 001060:But I hope to be featured as a film director than a meat expert. 001070:For programs on entertainment industry or films, you know? 001080:..Uh, maybe I shouldn’t go there yet. Hehe. 001090: 000; 001100: 002; Hmm… I don’t have to know that, do I? 001110:Come on - one day it’ll prove useful. When you go on a trip with your friends, you could try bragging that. Haha. 001120: 001; Ok. I’ll keep it in mind for now. 001130:I’m sure one day all those small tips will be really useful. 001140:And when that happens, please think of me and say thank you with your heart. Then it will reach me. Haha. 001150: 002; But do I really have to brag..?+#013s_25 001160:Come on - when you show them what you know, it’ll be fun. And you’ll have something to chat about. 001170:And knowledge is might, you know? ...Though that doesn’t sound the most perfect thing to say right now. Haha. 001180: 000; 001190: 000; 001200:Anyhow! While we’re at it, let me give you one more tip. 001210:When you have leftover meat, you can store it after adding olive oil or grapeseed oil. Something from vegetables. 001220:That you can stop the oxidation process. And that will keep the meat juicy. 001230: 001; I thought I was listening to a cooking program. 001240:Uh...yeah. I actually picked that up from a cooking show. It was good to watch over dinner. 001250:But whenever I watch a show on cooking, I think that maybe I should try featuring at one. 001260: 001; Meat isn’t the only thing in your fridge, is it? 001270:Shh - ! It’s just between you and me... 001280:Just kidding! Of course it’s not the only thing in there! For example...there are vegetables to go with meat? Haha. 001290: 002; If you do feature one of the shows, what kind of dish do you want to have? 001300:Hmm… Something with meat? Haha. 001310:But I’m used to simple barbecues, so I’m hoping it’d be something luxurious. 001320:You know, something with fire roaring and fantastic decorations. Haha. 001330:Uh, maybe I went too far. And I didn’t even get an invitation. Haha. 001340: 000; 001350: 002; %%... Why, you’re the real deal… 001360:Heh - don’t you think I’m good enough to get an honorary degree from national meat association or something? Hehe. 001370:But if I do get one...it might be kind of embarrassing. Haha. 001380: 001; You might get a plate of the best meat in the world if you be a VIP. 001390:Whoa...that sounds like a good privilege…. Should I really try to get a degree? Hehe. 001400:Uh, but if I get too involved with theories, maybe I might not be able to enjoy meat with my whole heart. 001410:So I’m going to be happy with hidden master of practical meatology. Haha. 001420: 002; You should keep your degree as your family treasure. 001430:‘This degree is the proof of that your grandfather, passed away 30 years ago, was the world’s greatest expert in meatology. Keep it well…’ 001440:Eew - that sounds too weird! Hehe. 001450: 000; 001460: 000; 001470:Wow… I just got in line to pay, and there are so many people. Is it because it’s dinnertime? 001480:But luckily, it started to get crowded after I got in line. I think I’ll be done very soon. 001490:Since I’m at a market for this phone call, it feels like we’re shopping together. It feels really new. 001500:Oh, my turn already. I’ll call you again. Very soon.
