Time flies

There's an old saying - "time flies when you're having fun". For me, a better phrase might be "time flies when you have an interesting job." When I worked in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, a week felt like a very long time. Now that I am very busy teaching English to a lot of interesting people, even a month feels short.

When does time fly for you?

Mao Asada

Good grief, that was a painful-looking fall. It almost looked like she was going bowling... with herself.

Anyway, the rest of her program was beautiful to watch - it's really good to see a professional athlete who doesn't get worn down or stressed out over the occasional mistake!

Warmth

There are many ways to make nouns out of adjectives in English. For example:

This is a boring movie. The boringness of it makes me tired.

Adding "ness" works often, but not always. For the weather, we turn adjectives into nouns like this:

It's hot. The heat is melting me.
It's warm today. This warmth is quite comfortable.
There's a cool breeze outside today. The coolness of it is very refreshing.
It's too cold. I hate the cold.

Spring is starting soon - so let's all enjoy the newfound warmth!

Delicious=おいしい?

Most of the time, when you see English speakers eating, they don't say "delicious". They usually say "good". "Delicious" means "tastes very good". It's a very strong word, so you don't use it as much as "good".
