聪明的客人
昨天晚上回家很晚,快3点了
见一只小猫从我家门口的沙发上仓皇逃跑
呵呵原来她每晚都觅到了如此软床哦
北京的秋天像我那条青色的裙子,总有种自矜却婆娑的姿态,我穿着小皮鞋,走得吭哧吭哧,内心里莫名的小喜悦,好像自己是隐姓埋名前朝的公主,看过了大起大落却从此布衣百姓满足于平常人家的幸福。
你们都在高处狂欢,我独自在沉默里继续下沉。
有时真的不明白,象回国这等事,真的是要放弃,有的人就是死心塌地的觉得这里好,那也好,不好骗自己也好,但是我这样两头颠倒的,却不知如何是好
好烦啊
printer坏了,饮水机坏了,眼镜坏了。。。。还让不让人活了
头巨疼,就想回家睡觉!

这日子没法过了啊。。。。
昨天想了半天,都没想出来中秋节这个词,竟然是月饼节,哎
快乐快乐,聊以自慰
来这里一年了,生活不紧不慢的发生着变化。我已经过了为这些变化而唏嘘感伤许久的年纪,慢慢的学会面对熟悉事物的离去和完全没有把握的不确定的未来。终于在经历了若干年的梦游之后,从很久以前回到了现在,将心和大脑解冻,开始新的旅程。 如果将生活看得很轻,就不会痛苦,但也不会有多少真正的快乐。 当生活变得沉重,会有压力,会depressed,但是也才会有生活的感觉,才会有值得回忆的体验,没有白活。
记忆中象过了很久很久,趟过了很多条河,翻过了很多座山,最惦念的还是我家小牛嘿嘿,
象这一晚轻松的聊聊天,上上网,看了很多有意思的文章,原来,阅读带给我的可以是长久以后浅浅的微笑,而不是愁思苦脑。虽然可能心上的欢欣是不一样的哦
比如一篇book review中的一句
Ming is quiet, bookish, idealistic and exceptionally sheltered while Yan is worldly, jaded and tossed to and fro on the waves of impulse.
很久就喜欢上了book review。我常常听的review节目好多,如narcy pearl大妈的,bwt the lines中的女声很好,偏偏就是我喜欢的那一档,但是就是有妖婆的感觉,npr的books很中庸,一个男人总让人觉得过于僵硬,不过内容满丰富的。。。
我还喜欢一个fabvalley的论坛,从不对bbs感冒的我却能在那儿 流连很久, 只是没有那么多时间,而瞅瞅众恶人们堆建的小谷还真是让我明了了到底论坛可以好到哪去,hoho
下午的时候坐定给老丁写了一封信,向madam汇报了最近走路不左顾右盼,低头不看闲书,吃饭不含糊的状态,怕她老人家被我擅长的confused能力所忽悠,遂总结陈词道心情还好,就是太累liao
不行太困了。。。。
Book Review: February Flowers
Filed in: Stuff ‘n Nonsense
I recently read February Flowers, a first time novel by Fan Wu. The book was exceptionally well written, which in and of itself is impressive, but even more so with this book because the author is not writing in her native language. Her command of English paired with her fluid, poetic way with imagery and detail make the book a joy to read, as the reader is bathed in the world Wu creates.
The novel begins as college students Ming and Yan form an unlikely friendship. Ming is quiet, bookish, idealistic and exceptionally sheltered while Yan is worldly, jaded and tossed to and fro on the waves of impulse. The book is set in modern China, which creates many challenges and difficulties for the girls as they struggle to escape the classism and societal expectations that they face.
It is evident that the two girls are metaphors for old and new China. Both struggle in their newfound roles, one brazenly barging ahead in any way she can manage and the other quietly, almost with regret leaving the tradition and consistency of the old way of life. They take insight from each other, but neither is willing to concede that the other’s way of life is superior. In many cases the girls are both jealous and ashamed of each other.
Although this is a coming of age story, it seems to leave the reader unsettled, wondering if Ming ever truly arrived. Bythe end of the book her innocence has been shattered, but she clings so tightly to her childlike idealism one has to question whether or not she has completed her journey. Her earlier, almost unbelievable naivety has been erased, however, her roots provide such a grounded perspective for her that although she accepts, she cannot embrace the new ways she has learned.
February Flowers is a thought provoking read, and I give it a thumbs up.

小王同学说我不是学习学多了
而是正事做多了,不习惯了
好吧
希望是阶段函数
恩看人生儿育子我还挺羡慕的注意都是子呵呵
还有举重若轻,和举轻若重这两点都特别象我。
提前贰拾玖天写好的
有人说20/30/40都要分别用色彩和光圈留住生命不同阶段的闪亮火花,也有人说“每天我都会拍一张照片,验证自己是如何老去的”,这其中有纯白色系爱好者,又不少烟熏感金属人,而有人依然固执地只爱原色。
无论停留在哪个阶段,或许很多时候,活得认真期待美好并不能真正带来幸福的云朵,但还是请一定要让自己广阔起来,心情好的时候把自己宠成小孩子,培养浮游在空气中的无压力感,哪怕几分钟;灰色的时候,不要和绝望走得太近,也不用故意试图把自己拉回来,看看忧郁的海和星,承认世上仍有另一个自己跟随陪伴着你,习惯和它谈话。
也许你曾经很努力地想做到100%并摆好了POSE,却总有突发事件让人措手不及,如这张影相里的弄堂自行车一般烦扰场景,可是偶然的事物都有其必然,既然身陷某一概率中,不如接受它,承认它,生活的本身就是一场跌宕起伏的戏剧。
如果可能的话,尽量自然些洒脱些,有时,或者就干脆一笑了之吧。
让自己保持一定的忙碌度,发现并分享周遭的点滴事物而不是漠视或扮酷。
最后,每天都要祝福自己,选择对自己温暖。
–献给即将到来的生日季中的自己和JMS–
其实我觉得不尽然
比如我明显 没那么暴饮暴食,而且嘴一点都不谗,看到别人吃都丝毫提不起兴趣,可能这就是我为什么还不那么胖吧
而且我好像也没那么的理性,也不象个天平,倒象翘翘板呵呵 恩有这个说法,优柔寡断。。。
天秤座的女人
在我的好朋友之中,天秤座的女子不算少数。由于她们个性随和稳定,而且本身又很喜欢交朋友,因此,往往都是人缘绝佳的典型。我喜欢跟我的天秤座女友们一聊天、出游、逛街,甚至于讨论些“正经事”。唯一不愿意找她们的,就是“诉苦”、“发牢骚”。
很多时侯我们会很情绪化的,对于周围的人、事、物,有着一大堆的抱怨。很想找一个会跟自己“同仇敌忾”的人吐吐苦水。这时侯,你最好别去烦一个天秤座 的女人。因为,理性而公正的她是不会跟你一个鼻孔出气的。蟹座或是鱼座的女人或许会完全感染你的情绪;白羊座的或狮子座的女人可能会想个办法帮你出气;瓶 座的女人可能一言不发地静心聆听。而天秤座的女人呢?她会把事从到尾替你整理一次,然后告诉你,有哪些地方是你的不对,哪些地方是对方理亏。接下来应该如 何应对,办法一…办法二…。她是不负责处理情绪的,但是,她的确可以帮助你处理问题。因此,遇到了疑难杂症可以找她,莫名的情绪就另请高明吧。
如果你想追求一个天秤座女子,这是你该有的第一个概念。
天秤座是出现美女机率最高的一个星座。事实上,天秤座的女人多数都能拥有着一种优雅的气质。她们几乎可以说是“男人”和“女人”的综合体。在外表上总 是掌握了优雅精致的女人味,而思想上又有着丰富逻辑观念的男性智能。更理想的是,天秤座女人很少会有抢着出风头的表现。她们往往懂得把自己的智能隐藏在怡 人的女性温柔之后,绝不让它尖锐地刺伤男性的自尊。因此,无论是对同性或是异性而言,她们都是不可多得的好伴侣。
至于该如何才能赢得芳心呢?当然,首先你得是个很合乎逻辑的男人。太过于固执、偏激、情绪化的人,都不是天秤座女子心目中的好伴侣。对于大多数的天秤 座女子来说,人生第一重要的事莫过于找个“好伴儿”。“孤单”是她的第一恐惧。所有美好的事物都因有人分享而真的有意义。可想而知,天秤座女人对于选择她 的“伴儿”尤其是终生的伴侣,该是多么严谨啦。
你最好是有着高尚品味的男人,因为多数的天秤座女子都是对于“美感”极有鉴赏力的。穿着红毛衣绿裤子,戴着紫色小帽的男人恐怕会跟天秤座的女人缘分薄些。生活习惯不佳、油头垢面的男人机会也不大。当然,风度翩翩、文质彬彬的男性,肯定会是天秤座女子的最爱。
再者,如果你是一个不喜欢女人说话的男人,那你恐怕也不适合天秤座的女人。我绝不是说她们喜欢吱喳个不停。事实上还真的很少有天秤座的女人会给人聒噪 的印象。只是几乎所有的天秤座女性都拥有着天生的辩才。她很会说话,很喜欢与人讨论,分析事情条条有理。而且很多时侯,的确能给你一些帮助。因为,她往往 喜欢从各种角度去分析事情,找出一个客观而公正的结论。
天秤座女性不喜欢太过情绪化的人,当然她本身也绝不是爱闹情绪的人。因为她是那么的“讲道理”。她喜欢跟别人讲道理,更时时刻刻跟自己讲道理。但是人 总归是有情绪的,而世间的事(尤其是感情的事),也不是每一样都有道理说得通的。在这样的时侯,天秤座女子的秤臂就大幅的摇摆起来了。你不必紧张,更不必 不费唇舌的跟她讲道理(那可是她的专常)。多一点温柔体贴,多些甜蜜爱意。很快的,她就会恢复原本的均衡美感了。
很多天秤座女生在情绪不稳定的时侯,会有暴饮暴食的倾向。我有个天秤座女友,经常在我们之间扮演婚姻爱情顾问的角色。她的理性客观深得我们的信赖。没 想到有一天她竟然爱上了一个朋友们都反对,而且客观条件确实大有问题的男人。我们的劝阻,自然没多大用处。因为每次辩论起来,大家都不是她的对手。所有的 缺点都能给她说成优点。不料,半年之后,那个男人竟突然弃她而去,娶了个富家小姐。刚遭到这个打击的时侯,她沮丧的样子,让朋友都担心她会从此消沉下去。 大家都自动轮流陪在她身边。两个月的暴饮暴食,她胖了十三公斤,但心情却渐渐平静了下来,不久后认识了现在的“他”,一切的一切,包括身材,就全都恢复 了。
对于面对多变的人世,天秤座的女子有着极佳的平衡感。几乎任何情况之下,她总能找到让自己心里平衡的办法。这一点,对于她的男伴来说,实在是不可多得 的优点。也正因如此,许多天秤座女性在婚后都能成为丈夫事业上的好帮手。我说过,天秤座女子极为重视“伴侣”的观念,所以,她们不论在生活上,或是在事业 上,都致力做一个好的合伙人。而且,天秤座女性绝不会跟你抢着做董事长。
如果你在事业上并不需要她的协助,我仍然建议你让她在婚后自由发展她的事业。一来,单纯的家庭主妇生活,对于聪明的天秤座女人来说似乎太无聊了些。她 恐怕会需要更多的玩伴来排遣她的孤单感。而且,把你自己变成她唯一的辩论对象,显然有点自讨没趣。二来,天秤座女人通常都需要“足够”金钱,去满足她追 “美”的欲望。我不能说天秤座女子一定有些挥霍。但我肯定绝大多数天秤座女子的品味都不“便宜”。所以,让她能够自给自足,你会轻松不少。更何况她们确实 都是很有工作能力的。
她是个以夫为重的女人。她可以做一个温柔可爱的小妻子,也可以是陪你共创事业的哥儿们。她可靠而不自夸。给你最好的建议,却永远不抢你的风采。她的稳 定性很够,没有许多女人任性、骄纵、不可理喻的缺点,她是许多丈夫们又敬又爱的妻子典型。只要你偶尔有耐性,听她振振有辞的训你一小时(这种情况,凭良心 说并不太多)。当有人使她的秤臂强烈摇摆的时侯,给她温柔浪漫的安慰,尤其她在大吃大喝的时侯,你就该意识到,这是你该有所表现的时侯了。对她来说,你的 耐心关怀就是万灵丹,只要适时服下,她立刻就能恢复原本均衡优雅的形象。难怪有好多人说说,能娶到一个天秤座的女人,真是“褔气”啦!
今天有饭缘。连走在路上都被人喊要不要吃BBQ chicken呵呵

租5次,出了4次问题。哈哈
还说我象个小天使,每次都捧束花,或者捧个书
笑死我了
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. "I believe that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child."
Then he told the following story:
Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you think they’ll let me play?" Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.
Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could pl ay. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We’re losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."
Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.
At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay’s life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.
The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.
Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman’s head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball … the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman’s head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"
Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third!"
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, "Shay, run home! Run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.
"That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world."
Shay didn’t make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
May your day, be a Shay Day.
"Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me." (Ruth 1:16)
The Imperfect Traces Left by Human Hands
I am a child of the digital age, but I believe in analog.
I love the hiss and pop of vinyl, and the black splotch in the corner when a movie changes reels. I enjoy the hushed, uneven ticking of a windup watch. I love handwriting.
I believe in analog because it captures the imperfect traces left behind by human hands—smudges and echoes that can’t disappear with the touch of a delete key.
I didn’t always feel this way. In 1985 my sister returned from Germany with a CD player, the first any of us had ever seen, and I marveled at the slick, featureless disc. I officially went digital in college when I bought my first computer. Mine was a Macintosh with two floppy drives and no hard drive. My boyfriend bought me 1 MB of RAM for my birthday and presented it to me in a jewel box.
Some years later, I found my husband on the Internet. It was 1997 and we were in the vanguard of the cyber-dating scene. We swapped e-mails for a whole month before meeting, which most people found outlandish. We were on the cover of a book. I went on Oprah. We married in a year, left the city and found a house on realtor.com.
But something was changing in me. As the world went digital and the Matrix movies played to packed houses, I found myself drawn to fountain pens, clothbound books and bargain-priced LPs.
One night the fuses blew and my husband and I had to choose between light and music for our one remaining outlet. We opted for music and sat close together in the darkness as the worn out needle brought Art Pepper back from the dead, his saxophone weaving cracked tapestries of sound.
Today I am a food writer. I live in the realm of the tactile, which could be the last stronghold of the analog world. I think that taste, smell and touch are like the armies of the resistance, hiding underground while their flashy audiovisual siblings take the world by storm.
Sometimes, my husband and I hold hands and scan the sky for constellations, roughly sketching the seasons as they pass overhead. “Is it November already,” we ask each other when Orion rises into view. It’s a way of keeping time, inexact at best, but it’s a better reminder than the digital alarm clock that wakes us each day at 5 a.m.
When my husband and I first met online a decade ago, we were digital, virtual and filled with instant certainty. But today, our actual lives are analog by nature. We live in the country, where dial-up is standard and sometimes progress just puts its feet up and takes a nap. We live our lives based on his best guess and mine.
Maybe the digital revolution, like an irrational number, will never come to an end. But for me there will always be a place for the whisper, the crackle, the shades of mottled gray. For the sake of my own imperfect soul, I believe in analog.
没有把任何人block,那不是偶光明磊落的风格,hoho即使是追求公平的天平座,
只是觉得有点 不爽,呵呵,反正我还是有自己的博的,我并不是爱show off,爱添油加醋的人,我的快乐是我自己感觉到的,不愿意和任何人相提并论,也不需要任何人judge我,羡慕我,也许关了这里很好, secrets make woman woman. a woman’s heart is the deepest sea of secret.
我始终觉得我活着不是给别人看的,也不是自圆其说,我容易快乐,没心没肺,爱睡觉,还有很多缺点,但那都是我
还有最近我突然发现我爱上了research呵呵,大跌眼珠子吧,想着其实写写proposal看看paper挺幸福的,觉得很充实,满足,虽然还挺累的,只是不知道是不是有继续下去的能力
但是是的,但是我爱着急,ameng说做research要有好的心态,看到别人怎样了不能眼热,这个我都不会的,我最是荣辱不惊的人了,范前辈说不以物喜不以己悲么,但是我爱着急,好奇心太强了。。。
不过怎样,我决定既然ignite了兴趣,并执着的 努力一阵子好了,
怎么总是看到别人的缺点呢不好不好
但是我发现我也有工作狂的潜质
而且现在真的很enjoy做研究,很bt吧hoho,然后开始鄙视别人
但是我今天发现我一晚上还是写不完ppp,腰疼!!!
一直在想Jay到底是怎样想的
他说的话。。。
唉
希望一切都好~
不知道是自己变坚强了,还是变的会自我安慰
anyway rock the new semester! learn english在新学期开始时,发现自己在一年里还是有了点进步,竟然是在这个暑假的尾巴上得到的,
至少不那么讨厌research还大多觉得很有意思
也终于明白了一些道理,学术的 ,生活的
比如要积极要agressive的去push老板,为自己争取。。。生活好像不再是每天无目的的了哈哈
仿佛是一下子悟到的似的,很奇妙
希望生活中少一些distraction,也更没心没肺一些,我有时真的觉得想的太多好累啊,不能受干扰,不要凡事都weigh up
我还是喜欢简单~
新学期了,希望自己能有更大进步,好俗哦~
好好学习,真本领hoho
怎么跟小学生作文似的啊,唉
文字水平退步太明显了
