March 8, 2022: COVID-19 Booster Shot

March 8, 2022: I left my office before noon, and had a COVID-19 Booster Shot in Osaka. I did not have any side effects at all with the last 2 shots, so I'm hoping the same for this time.


I ate an American Hot Dog for lunch in front of the hospital.

October 5, 2025: Watched the movie "One Battle After Another" in Minoh, Osaka

October 5, 2025: On Sunday evening in Minoh, Osaka, I watched the movie "One Battle After Another." It was a fast-paced and entertaining film with a very distinctive atmosphere. I was quite surprised to see the karate kata "Heian Nidan" featured in the movie. After the movie, I enjoyed my favorite Osaka specialty, okonomiyaki. I watched the movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" two years ago. Both "One Battle after Another" and "Killers of the Flower Moon" star Leonardo DiCaprio and deal with social issues in the United States, but their styles are completely different. The former is fast-paced and entertainment-oriented, treating social themes lightly, while the latter portrays a historical tragedy with depth, delving deeply into moral and racial issues. Through both films, DiCaprio’s remarkable range as an actor truly stands out.

May 1, 2026: Watched "The Devil Wears Prada 2” in Osaka. It was a highly positive and enjoyable film that leaves you feeling energized and uplifted. Hearing Vogue by Madonna brought back wonderful memories, as it was one of the biggest hits when I was on assignment in the United States. At Starbucks, I ordered Miranda’s latte, a special collaboration drink inspired by this movie.

August 1, 2026: Breakfast, Weekend Movie, and Walk Through the Lush Greenery in Minoh, Osaka

Image
August 1, 2026:  After a Whopper breakfast at Burger King and the latest Spider-Man movie in Minoh, Osaka, I went for a walk toward Minoh Waterfall for some exercise. A refreshing breeze along the shaded mountain trail beside the river made the walk especially enjoyable despite the midsummer heat. https://tedsogo2021.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-1-2-2026-summer-weekend-in-minoh.html?m=1 It was my first Spider-Man movie, so I must have missed many of the connections to the earlier films. Even so, I enjoyed it well enough. In summer, Minoh Waterfall is a lush green retreat that is about 7°C (13°F) cooler than downtown Osaka. Hiking through the vibrant greenery while listening to the gentle sound of the river is one of the area's greatest pleasures. I had lunch at a charming soba restaurant along the mountain trail.
