Can I rent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Amazon?

 Recently, my daughter asked me, “Can I rent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Amazon?” So we ended up watching it together.

It’s a 2004 movie starring Jim Carrey (famous for comedy films like The Mask) and Kate Winslet (well known for Titanic). I couldn’t believe it was made 22 years ago. I’m not sure if I had heard the title back then, but I vaguely remember seeing the movie poster.

On Valentine’s Day, Joel (Jim Carrey) suddenly feels compelled to take an impulsive trip to a cold seaside town. There, he meets Clementine, an eccentric woman who strangely keeps talking to him. They end up taking the train back together and promise to see each other again…

The movie explores an intriguing idea:
What if there were a technology that could erase specific memories?

It’s one of those films that leaves you wondering at the end:
“So… what do you think will happen to these two?”

The timeline jumps back and forth, which may have felt unusual at the time. Nowadays, though, we’re more used to movies and TV dramas that are a little difficult to follow and require you to piece things together.

Good memories, painful memories, memories we wish we could erase, and memories we want to frame forever — the longer we live, the more of them we collect.

Every little experience becomes proof that we existed, shaping who we are.

Who gave birth to us, who we talked to, what we saw, what we heard…

Day after day, life often feels repetitive.

Yet every day is slightly different. Things happen. We remember some moments and slowly forget others.

And somehow, that’s what life is, isn’t it?

Easy Tilapia Saute Recipe Tilapia is relatively cheap fish in the U.S. I found a good recipe from cookpad and I arranged some. You can use any fish filet!  1) Season fish with sprinkle of salt, white wine (about 1 table spoon) beforehand. Keep in the refrigerator about 30 min. 2) Dry fish with a paper towel and season with old bay or any seasoning you like,  then coat with flour.  3) Heat the pan and melt about 2 table spoon of butter or coconut oil. After pan is heated enough, put the tilapia until bottom is nicely brown and crunchy. 4) Flip the fish, brown the other side half way and add 1/3 cup (80ml) of white wine and cook until wine is evaporated. Done! Serve with rice / potato / vegetable and enjoy! PFOA Free Non Stick Pan with Lid! Luxury, but may be it worth it!

Going to Atami (Famous hot spring place)

Staying at Akasaka, Tokyo Leave Akasaka around 9:30 in the morning and head for Atami. Looking at the timetable in Jordan,　 https://world.jorudan.co.jp/mln/en/ it is 4390 yen per person for the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Atami, and it takes 37 minutes for the Shinkansen from Tokyo.  2nd option is "Izu no Odoriko" (Izu Dancer) train takes 1 hour 21 minutes and costs 4000 yen per person. 3rd option is Tokaido, the local train takes 1 hour 53 minutes and 1940 yen. Other friend families go by car. Since only 5 people can ride in the car, it is already over capacity, so we talked about going by train. I decided to get to Atami around noon, so I didn't hurry and my son had to pay an adult fee this year so I decided to save and go on the Tokaido. I thought that it would be possible to sit down during the daytime on weekdays, but it seems that there are many people thinking about the same thing. By the way, there is a reserved seat on this Tokaido, and it was 780 yen p...

Izu Grand Pal Park and Conveyor Belt Sushi

Image
The last day / third day of Izu. I woke up in the morning, took a morning bath without children with my friends (because kids were sleeping), ate breakfast buffet, and went to a place called Izu Grand Pal Park. The admission fee was once again reduced with a coupon, but I had to buy a separate voucher, so it seems a little expensive. . The weather on this day will be cloudy and it will rain. . The 13-year-old boys team ziplines while it is still not raining. In this park, there was a place where you could play without using a ticket, so I finally went there, but it started to rain. . . Even if it is noon at a nearby roadside station, it is closed on Saturdays. Is it because it was raining? ? After having bite in a crepe shop that was open, We decided to go to Revolving Sushi. I bought dried fish as a souvenir at Michi-no-Eki (roadside station). Just after this, I saw the news that dried fish were affected by the lack of sunshine due to the continuing rain. There ...
