タイヤメーカーのマシュマロみたいなキャラクターが際立つあのミシュランが作ってる三ツ星とか二ツ星とかひとつ星とかのランキングが有名な赤い本。
2008年から発売されて今年で3回目。発売開始した2008年から、東京はずっと世界一ミシュランの星が多い美食都市になってるという(多分)とてもすごい結果が表れている本。日本人ってほんと基本どんな国の料理も食べるしね。
まあ、その本がそろそろ発売開始になるのだけど、去年から出版記念パーティー(と記者発表)にブロガー記者を招待していて、ちょっと話題になってた。
で、今年はやっぱりTwitterに注目が集まっているようで、ブロガー記者の他にTwitter記者なるものが設けられているそうな。
…いいなあ…
そんな公募をスルーしていたら、なんと@nsekiさんがつるっと応募していてしかも当選してた。いわゆるTwitterで記者発表や会場の様子を中継する「tsudaり」をするわけだけど、tsudaった後はパーティーでおいしい料理が食べられるわけだ。ずるい!平日の昼なのに!
ただ、Twitterで中継する(tsudaる)のはとても臨場感があって面白いんだけど、困るのがタイムラインがそれで埋まってしまうことと、後から見返すのがかなり面倒なこと。
ということで、中継内容をまとめるために@nsekiさんがこんなブログを立てた模様。当日を心待ちにしている様子が分かって心底悔しい>< キー!当日は絶対見るもんか。Twitterも3時間くらい見ないんだから!
と思っている気持ちを察したのか今日会ったkikukenさんが「これお土産だよ!」ってミシュランの対抗本のザガットサーベイ2010のサーティーワンアイスコラボ本をぽんとくれたので、悔しい気持ちをぶつけるべく、一番初めに広げたページに掲載されているレストランで一番豪華なところに行ってやろうと(妄想だけど。大事なことだからもう一度言うが妄想だけど。)ガッと広げたらものすごい評価コメントに驚愕した。

…絶対行けないわー!(いろんな意味で)無理!

で、その流れで子供の頃コーラアップが好きだったことを思い出す。コーラ味のグミね。姉妹品でオレンジアップもあって、プラスチックのプレートからグミを引き剥がして食べるのが面白かったんだ。
食べたくなったので、「コーラアップ食べたい」とTwitterでつぶやいたらtai-tetsu 太鉄さんがちょうどコンビニで見つけたようで買ってきてくれた。
…!
俺の好きだったコーラアップはこんなバタくさいんじゃないっ!しかもコラーゲン入りとか大人の菓子になってる。
調べてみると、やっぱり同じことを思っている人がいた。しかも図解まで!そうだよこれだよ、これが俺たちのコーラアップだ。
復刻版とか出してくれないのかなー…
After going to the dentist today, to replace some fillings, I went to the 79 New Montgomery building of the Academy of Art University. There I obtained my ALUMNI ID. They've been handing these out for the last 2 years. This will enable me to enter Academy buildings, attend workshops, and other ALUMNI events. Seriously. I put a lot of money into that school, this is time for PAYBACK! I really want to attend some workshops because well... models aren't cheap!
This made me think back on my days at Academy. People ask me if it is a great school. Personally, any school is great as long as you make the best of it. No one is going to hold your hand and make you great. I do like the fact they usually have the most updated technology. That is a plus considering it is located in San Francisco. You need some kind of edge when you are competing with other art schools. I did consider going to a NY school or even a foreign art school. IF I had the money of course. Since I did not have the money, nor the smarts to attend a real college I chose Academy. Plus I was able to get grants every year. GO ME!
Most of the teachers there don't have a teaching credentials, but they have worked in the industry. Some were great, some were average, and some were just a waste of time. BAH! There was this one teacher, whom I've told people about many many times, who wanted to fail me. He would say, "You give me this? You don't want to get paid do you?!?!?!" It was my storyboarding class. He wanted all our storyboards to look super sexy like the MATRIX storyboards. Then he would shoot down any ideas I had. He couldn't critique anything well and was soo bitter about being a "teacher" and not an employee at a company. BAH! He also couldn't remember if my friend did his homework, which he didn't, and just marked an A where his supposed grade would be!!!! He would say, "Oh, oh yeah! I think I remember now." ... Inside I was screaming... "YOU LIAR!!! AHH!!!!"
I just hope they are not there anymore!!! Haha! But seriously, it was a wonderful experience and I connected with a lot of professionals while I went to school there.
Thanks AAU!
Him in recovery, crystals have been removed from his bladder, he'll probably get to come home tomorrow afternoon with drugs and the cone of shame.
Thanks for the thoughts.
HRTortie had a great night yesterday, being on FDaddy's lap all evening, sleeping on Mommy's electric blanket, and cuddling with me early this morning. I was under the covers with her, thinking about all the stuff I needed to do and worrying about TK, till I realized that I couldn't do anything about any of those things at that time, so the best cause of action was to go back to sleep petting the warm floofy purring tortie. The Zen of Floof got me another 4 hours' sleep.
