「高給の仕事」。
The Sunday Age Magazineの記事、'The greed creed'から。
'But what was a supportable proactive in her 20s, when a high-paying job meant a decent dispersible income, has become a life-style cramping habit in her 30s; having started her own theatre-production business, Leigh's annual income has dropped to "maybe 20 or 30 grand. Unfortunately I don't really have the income to support my spending habits any more, but I still seem to manage to shop'
ちなみに、crampingは、形容詞で「筋けいれん」という意味がありますが、そこから転じで、「邪魔するような、弊害となる」。

'But after flipping through the whole of Tokyo Graffiti in the act of intellectual shoplifting called tachiyomi ("standing and reading"), Maggie and I -- blogger pirates both -- replaced the mag on the recommended shelf unbought, took a snap of the cover, and resolved to blog about it. Paper is doomed'

Click Operaのエントリー、'Post-internet print-and-paper'から。
'Tokyo Graffiti -- which features almost no advertising, though it may be doing some subtle product placement, for all I know -- is the ultimate vox pop magazine, and so far no blog can provide enough research, content, context and detail to endanger it'

'A City’s Specialty, Japanese in Name Only'という記事から。
'The phenomenon, now in its fourth decade, has roots in Asian immigration. (For a 2007 Seattle Weekly article, Jonathan Kauffman wrote that Toshihiro Kasahara, a peripatetic Japanese-born restaurateur, may have popularized the teriyaki sauce style now standard in Seattle when he opened Toshi’s Teriyaki Restaurant in 1976.)'
