今天见到亚当了

只有亚当和克里斯两个人的小型演唱会。每个人只唱了三首歌,再两人合唱了一首。我爽到翻,拿到亚当的签名照片,还叫他帮我照了一张我俩的合照。人生满足了。至少今天满足了。

我今年出去耍得少

觉得没咋个旅游,就去了几趟芝加哥,钱也就莫得了。没咋个乱晃,却连更新空间的时间都没有。晓得我在干些啥子哦。

但有了人生的第一次喝醉的经历,多安逸的。所以就又醉了一盘,还是多安逸的。发现我喝醉了之后是走搞笑路线的,好喜欢喝醉酒的自己哦。

来贴些简单的照片吧,耍地少啊。但是年底要去墨西哥!娃哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!

我有实力派演员的潜力

      上个星期整理照片的时候,又看了一下去年万圣节的照片。去年万圣节相当成功,连自己都不敢相信下面两张照片是同一个人,哈。所以我总结出来,原因是,我是一个具有多元化潜力的演员胚子。
      上大学的时候,我有一句名言:“我不可以很美,但是我可以很丑。”,就注定了我可以当丑角演喜剧。但本人内心与生俱来的甜美气质,又注定了我可以挑战类似蒂凡尼的早餐里面奥黛丽赫本的角色。
      看到这里,你大概已经大骂出口,幸运的话,我大概可以听到几声大笑。这又注定了我有当导演的才能。唉,盖都盖不住的演艺界才华啊。
 
      哇哈哈哈哈,没错,我很无聊。啦啦啦啦啦啦啦~

Too Many Social Networks

Yeah yeah I get it, 2008 was a year of Online Social Network. But there are just way too many! It's getting harder and harder to keep up with all of them, as well as all of your friends from different networks. Facebook, Myspace and such, are supposed to make our lives easier with keeping in touch with friends. But no, if you have pictures to share, you have to go through Facebook, MSNSpace, 开心网,校内网 to reach all the audience. Each of the network takes at least a half hour to upload and tag people. Thank god I don't have Myspace!
 
The New Year resolution of the social networks should be creating a platform that connects with all your networks: You only need to upload pictures and write blogs on this platform, and it will automatically appear on all your networks. Although Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft have been trying to gather everything under one roof within their networks, it doesn't really make any sense because no one would just use one network. Imagine cell phone companies, if T-Mobile can only call T-Mobile users, people would have to buy at least three phones to stay in touch with families and friends. On the other hand, Instant Messaging has already reached the point of hosting all vendors in one place, thanks very much to Meebo, Trillian, and Digsby.
 
Well, for minority groups like us having friends all around the globe, we will not only need a social network platform, but also a global one! This could be extremely hard, thus I'm not expecting it to happen within the next year, and just thought I'd leave my complaints here only for reference...
 
Anyway, this is why I haven't updated my msnspace for so long. Have been distracted by evil capitalism Facebook. I pledge returning here, very soon.

Upper Michigan 归来不看树

小杨,小辫儿(怀孕中),小农民,和可爱的花花一行四人疯狂的密北二日游回来,花了整一个星期才恢复元气。

星期五早上,花花6点起床,收拾东西上班。下班后跟同事吃饭,然后迷路,然后找到路,然后又迷路,迟到了半个小时赶到了同事的秀场,兴高采烈的看完同事表演音乐喜剧:你好,达丽!一路想着那个男生的裤子不错,那个疯婆子的手套不错,开到了兰辛。在车里等了5分钟。小农民把租的车也开回来了,后面跟着小杨和小辫儿。时间刚刚好。

星期五中午,小杨和小辫儿从芝加哥出发到兰辛。路上顶着大太阳堵了两个小时的车,开了5、6个小时才到兰辛。孕妇辛苦了。

星期五晚上,小农民发现租来的车不能放mp3碟,只能放CD,于是叫嚣着叫嚣着刻了4张碟。12点半,大家都睡了。

星期六早上,花花5点起床。大伙儿磨蹭完了在麦当劳买完早餐6点半出发。一路上放着快乐的小曲儿,十个小时一眨眼就过了。才怪!屁股坐痛了也没啥特别好听的歌挣扎着聊天讲笑话才到。还好一路上风景很美,雾蒙蒙的,像油画。十个小时之后,我们来到了野猪山。时间算计的很完美,休息一下就可以看到日落了。才怪!空气很冷,天空中乌云密布,还下着绵绵细雨,怎么可能看得到日落??抖抖瑟瑟照完相之后,四个人就溜下山了。太阳都看不见还看得见个屁的日落,赶紧的,找旅馆吃饭。于是又开了三个小时来到了巴掌大的喀伯港(Copper Harbor)。还好一路上风景很美,雾蒙蒙的,像油画。才怪!只美了一阵子,后来就天黑了,恐怖兮兮的。

星期六晚上,吃晚饭之后11点,小农民和花花怎么都打不开房门,外面又冷得让刚下肚的晚餐加速消化制造热能都还是觉得沁人心骨。来回跑了两趟还是小杨同学用蛮力帮我们把门打开了。小农民平日去健身房果然都只是去欣赏人文景观的,自身力量发展地相当缓慢。12点半,大家都睡了。

星期天早上,花花5点半起床。大伙儿磨蹭完了发现轮胎没气了加油站又还没开门,一路忧心忡忡地开上了山。在不相信自己的判断又相信了自己的判断的复杂周折之后,到达了山顶观日出的地方。已经有一辆车在旁边停着了,PT Cruiser,黄色的SpongeBob文化衫,蓝色的帽子,戴眼镜的小胖青年,单身。一行人为天边浓浓的橙色的日平线兴奋不已了5分钟,决定继续在外面挨冻的是傻瓜,于是躲进车里等日出。旁边开来另外一辆车,四个亚洲人,后来发现是四川人,但又冷又饿的身体状况导致害羞和冷漠占了上风,而对方唯一的年轻男性又有女友在身边,所以完全没有过去搭讪。等到日出的时间已经过了,还是没有看到红灿灿的那一陀蹦出水面。一转头,发现右边的天空是红色的。原来等错方向了。该死的SpongeBob蓝帽眼镜胖青年!被严重误导了。等我们跑到可以不被树挡住看到右边的天空的地方的时候,日出已经过了,只可以看到水面上云层间射下来的金光。死胖子。到目前为止,日落,失败;日出,失败。

于是照原计划绕着风景好的路线开了一圈。天气很好,太阳照在树梢上把红色显得更醇正,金色显得更耀眼,绿色显得更透明,还是像油画,但是笔触更细,层次更分明。让我想到,为什么中国画是中国画的样子,而油画是油画的样子:因为中国的山和水就适合中国画的画法,而西方的田园和森林就只能用油画来捕捉。反过来用的话,都不能表达出大自然的创造力。又说画人也是一样。中国人轮廓很柔和,皮肤也很细腻,所以是用国画那样圆润的笔锋来表现微妙表情之下的个人气质。西方人长得也像这里的土地,有棱有角,层次分明,所以也必须用油画才能记录每一条细纹下动人的故事。扯远了,总之风景很美,照了很多相。我们不是在枫叶最红的时候来的,也因此可以看到各个颜色同时存在,真是一种奢华的享受。约好以后来这里拍MTV了,还要拍一部电影叫做《秋天的童话》。哦?已经有一部戏叫这个名字了?那我跟制片人说说去,叫他把他那部名字改了,因为我想不到有比这更适合这里的名字了。

星期天晚上12点半,大家都睡觉了。可以想象之前回来的路上明明没有在开车却还是觉得一打瞌睡就会撞车所以不敢睡觉却又一直忍不住睡着的花花是一粘沙发就睡着了。

星期一早上,花花6点起床,开车去底特律上班。路上堵车的时候又差点睡着。下午3点半,接到要去看牙医所以提前下班的同事的电话:你车的防盗铃一直在叫。5点半的时候接到另外一个同事的电话,同样的内容。6点走去停车场的路上,200米远的时候就听见小黄愤青似的叫唤。真对不起停车场的叔叔阿姨们,听了一整天。开回家之后,还是一直叫。我怕同一栋的老人们集体心脏病发,于是开去dealership修车。当晚他不给修,要第二天白天才修,于是打电话给同事叫她来接我回家,下大雨。9点到家Heroes刚好开始,看完上网,11点半睡觉。超级累。

没人管

现在没人管了,把很早以前想做没能做的事情终于做了。锵锵隆咚咚!
 
先是换了窗帘,阳光就洒进来了,东坡肘子也做出来了。
 
 
今天下午突然决定去把另外一件事情解决了,就马上研究预约洗澡超速冲去把头发剪了。

听歌

昨天好不容易把Ipod搞动了,晚上才可以听音乐。正想着还是听音乐心情好啊,突然就听到《非你莫属》了。人生还真是时起时落,心情也一样。
 
唱这首歌的人,是以什么样的心情唱的呢?当他心里想非你莫属的时候,一定没有料想到自己有一天会对另一个人说非你莫属。或者说,等到可以对第二个人唱这首歌的时候,还是会天真地认为非他莫属吗?人都无法预知未来,所以只有任自己相信现在就是一切。所以才会认为忘记全世界的只有心上人的爱情就是天崩地裂,海枯石烂。一眨眼,就时过境迁了。也因为无法预知未来,所以不管喜不喜欢,我们都拼命地享受着现在。要将现在沉沦在爱情中的激动情绪表达出来,就有了非你莫属。所以我也不会说,只有经过一辈子考验还在一起的老情人们才配唱这首歌。
 
只是,听这首歌,仔细体会着歌词里的爱意还感动涕零的人,分开后不是很可怜吗?再一次听这首歌的时候,那股浓浓暖暖的爱意都还把自己拥抱着,睁开眼却只有自己和冰冷的镜子。
 
“爱我 非你莫属 我只愿 守护 由你给我的幸福”。 原来这也是有时限的。
“我心的缝隙 我想除了你 任谁也无法填补这空虚”。你想,你想错了。确实只有一个人能填补,但那个人却不一定是我。红色的补丁用久了再换绿色的。现在不也挺惬意的?
可恶的是,好听的歌大多都是伤感的。更可恶的是,每一首我都不自觉地对号入座。“我放手 我让座 假洒脱 谁懂我多么不舍得 太爱了 所以我 没有哭 没有说”,看吧!
 
继续听歌,听到麻木为止吧。

Traverse City & Mackinac Island 顺便露营

     所有人都不在密西根,在密西根的都不上道。所以只有我和潇潇同学两个人北上了。去了之后,灰常Happy,幸好没有因为人不够放弃。
 
     感谢我慷慨的跟我其实不熟而且已经调去芝加哥的同事,借给我野营用具。帐篷相当牢实,下暴雨也没进一滴水。气垫床密不透风,睡一晚起来还在空气上,不在土地上。还有折叠椅完全没派上用场,却给我们小小的营地增添了生气。
 
      感谢陌生老奶奶看我们没有带工具,用石头砸桩桩,好心的借给我们榔头,还帮我们搭帐篷,一改我们一边看说明书还不知道有些单词的意思所以只好用猜的或用排除法揣摩,一边笨笨的把杆子插进布里,的乌龟速度。
 
      感谢另外一位陌生中年妇女,也来帮我们搭帐篷,并在我们撤营的时候看到我们用车上扫雪的刷子扫帐篷上的土于是亲切地问:“你们要不要一把真正的扫把?”,进而借给我们珍贵扫帚。
 
      感谢两位对素不相识的我们雪中送炭,暑中送冰。如果你们是年轻小帅哥的话,我们就会跟你们多聊一会儿,并邀请你们去我们帐篷里坐坐了,真是对不住你们。
 
      Traverse City没有我想象中的无敌美。沙滩上玩水的人都很开心,水温也很合适,让我对可以下水活蹦乱跳的潇潇同学更加嫉妒。潇潇同学大概觉得最美的景色是跳水的年轻人,在沙滩晒太阳的年轻人,水边漫步的年轻人,和打沙滩排球的年轻人吧。
 
      Sleeping Bear Dunes....没赶上好时候,下次再来吧。
 
      Mackinac Island是座让人窒息的美丽小岛。没有工业,没有汽车,没有污染。带潮气的风里面参杂着马粪的味道,真香。斑斓的水,天空,和沙滩,看不见边际,让人瞬间心胸宽广,心情愉悦,忍不住要深呼吸,阿~马粪味。岛上有个非常奢华的酒店,Grand Hotel,暂且译为大旅馆。里面有画廊,好几个,大花园,大游泳池,大阳台,大柱子,剧院。装饰风格是怀旧的文艺复兴与明朗的欧洲花园式结合,很可爱。后来听说很多外国的小孩都在这个时候去岛上打工,好玩又挣钱。我之前怎么没听说?可恶。
 
      这次主要是去观光了,只有晚上才回帐篷睡觉而已。下次一定要至少整整一天呆在露营区,再烧烤烧烤,打打沙滩排球。嗯~~。野营还挺好玩的,进帐篷之后就变成小孩子了。

08 Trip to China

All the folks are still young. All the foods are still outrageously delicious. All the girls are still skinny.
 
FOOD:
Hot pot is never going away. This year the trend seems to be different themes of hot pot: loach, toufu, rabit head, fish head, chicken, frog, duck, you name it. My favorite was Qingmei Loach Restaurant. Of course the loach was good, so was everything else.
Spicy Lobster is hands down the best food in Beijing. It will lumb your lips, grease your fingers, spot on your shirt, but you still can't resist it.
 
KARAOKE:
The interior design of a karaoke house has to be luxurious, or you are out of business. The minute I walked into the building, 6 people yelled "Good evening! Welcome to XXX!" at me. That made my heart skip a beat, and I had goose bumps afterwards. The waiting area is huge, with lots of comfortable sofa, and live piano performance! After the long winding crystal stairs, and winding hall ways, I arrived at our room. It has three plazma screens, touch screen computer for picking songs and adjusting the sound system, a unique solo stage, and a 10 seats leather sofa, bathroom included in the room. The sound system is so good that even when you are shouting "I need to pee!" through the mic, it sounds sexy and rock n roll. No wonder people rock all the time. As a result, the drinks and plums that are good for your throat are sold at a rediculous price here.
 
SHOPPING:
The branded clothes are rediculously expensive. I mean, they are easily over ¥1,000 for no reason. The most obnoxious are the Korean brands that do not have a ¥1000 style, do not have a ¥1000 quality, and do not have a ¥1000 recognizable brand name. I was pissed at the price, and went to a free market. "How much are they?" I pointed at a pair of lovely sandals with a big blue flower in the front. "¥285, it's made of crystal". "...but it's just plastic" I mumbled to myself. "How about ¥20?" I was happy with my reasonable offer for a pair of plastic shoes. All I got was total silence. She didn't even care to talk to me. So I left with anger: "That was rude!" After 30 mins, I was back in front of the store again. Those were indeed very cute. So I smiled at her like a sucker:"How much would be the lowest price?" She asked:"How much are you willing to pay?" I thought for 5 seconds:"¥30!" She sighed, and said:" There's nothing under ¥100 in my store!" That ended the conversation. That's when I realized, what a change in the past two years.
 
So I left Chengdu for Beijing with total disappointment. But I found the shopping heaven, the best place to shop in the world, Xiushui Street. It's known to the world as the heaven for fake designers' stuff. Well I am not peacockery enough to go after just the brand names. But they do have great style, with good price! Next time I go back, I will spend a whole day and have a big budget for Xiushui, instead of running around in 1 hour with limited cash like I did this time...biggest regret in my whole trip!
 
OLYMPICS:
The city is totally clean. No air pollution threat at all. The architectures are phenominal. The ads are everywhere. The people are passionate. The mascots are marketed properly. I loved it, and am proud of it. Wish Beijing have a successful Olympics.
 
EARTHQUAKE:
The closer to the earthquake center, the sadder it is. Nature has the power to destroy everything, but man has the power to rebuild. It will take a long time and tremendous work to recover from the physical and mental damages. But the quick action taken by the government, the support from around the world, and the strong faces of the kids give me faith in people, in life.

The Heart-Breaking Facts In the 5.12 Earthquake

Where: Wenchuan, Sichuan, China

When: 5/12/2008, 2:28PM in China (2:28 AM EST in U.S.)

What: 7.8 quake, the worst in the past half century.

More than 12,000 already confirmed dead. The number is still counting.

 

            In a small town of 12,000 population, only 3000 survived, including tourists.

            About 10,000 people are still under the crashed building, waiting for rescue. 20,000 soldiers were sent to the disaster area.

            The whole town of Beichuan was destroyed with 80% buildings completely crashed.

            A young couple laid their body over their kid to protect him. They died, the kid survived.

            Crying moms are looking for their babies through the bricks and rocks.

            80 kids were sleeping in the kindergarten when the earthquake happened. 50 of them died.

            The main building of Exiang middle school crashed, 300 students died.

            Parents are still looking for their kids. Tens of thousands of people are injured. More people don’t have a home to go back to. They need help.

 

Thousands of people have donated blood. The Chinese Red Cross received over 17 million dollars, but that’s far from enough.

 

If you would like to donate, here’s the bank information (for donating from outside of China):

            Account Number7112111482600000209

            Bank Name: China CITIC Bank

            Bank addressChina CITIC Bank Beijing Jiuxianqiao Sub-branch

            Bank Code (Swift Code): CIBKCNBJ100

P.S. Please feel free to forward this message to your friends or post it on your blog.

 

UPDATE:

From Chad: "Also, I was looking around and in addition to donating directly to Red Cross Society of China with the information there, you can also use the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) website and designate the donation as being for the China Earthquake relief effort in the drop down menu (or for other disasters if you would also like to donate for those).

http://donate.ifrc.org/

(You can use credit card)

Also, there are numerous agencies that have set up relief efforts and started collecting donations for the Sichuan earthquake. One that I know of is Mercy Corp, which has a pretty high efficiency rating (about 90% of proceeds allocated directly to programs).

http://www.mercycorps.org/

(They have a blue box in the corner already default set to donating to the earthquake relief effort. You can also use credit card here)."
 
Thanks Chad!!
