Moonwalking

Death of a soap bubble (Pictures by Richard Heeks flickr links)

蓝天下,怀着梦想的肥皂泡


大都好物不坚牢


最后的瞬间


来处来,去处去


有的时候,心碎可以很平静


没有什么会永垂不朽


有人说,童年不幸福的人,会拒绝长大。是真的吗?这世界有多少人,每天,每个时刻,在每个角落,是我们所不了解的啊。从大家都能看到的舞台上,似乎,也许这是对的。什么又是童年的幸福?是安全的感觉,是被爱的信念吗?如果以为幸福过,可若干年后回首,却发现一切原来都是谎言呢?

Life is such a mélange, always have been, always will be.

不知所措的时候,什么才是让你安心的港湾?

The highest good is like that of water.

在这个炎热的,多事的夏天,在这个世界用最先进的科技注视星空的地方,月亮一如既往地沉默着。那里黑白分明,要么热情似火,要么冷胜寒冰。可是人却不能生存。

神奇的邻居

最近火大得很,下午在邮件里狠狠发泄了对某合作伙伴的不满,晚上又因为银行账号的一笔小错帐冲着客服嚷嚷。事后冷静下来都挺后悔的,不过,我觉得自己可真也是越来越烂人一个了。天将黑时出去溜达,沉着个脸,不过回想起来值得欣慰的是碰到走过对我打招呼的陌生人我都还知道回报问候。

一个比较神奇的事情是,公寓门前两块很小很小的地不知不觉中发生了翻天,恩,是覆地的变化。首先,是那棵著名的小辣椒,我从来没有操过心但是却一直忠诚地开花结果,只是断断续续死掉一两个枝杈的,突然有一天,她不见了!消失了!再过几天,那片曾经生长过辣椒,接纳过小米营养品的土地上,冒出了N棵植物。有瘦弱的小竹枝,有纤细的小芦荟,有几株叫不出名字的东倒西歪的阔叶绿苗。到如今还依然坚挺着的只剩下植物界的小强-仙人掌!另一边的土地,一两年前不知从哪里飘来一种紫色的小野花,从此茁壮扎根,生生不息。长得快活的时候,有一人多高,弄的门口象个小野丛林。小米在里面打过盹,还有其它的小猫,也曾经把那当作天然休息室。后来在一个事儿奶奶的多次唠叨下,我满怀委屈花了五个小时把野花草们锄干净了。之所以要这么久,是那种野花的根惊人得深,盘结错综,难除极了。记得从中午一直弄到天黑,室友不肯干,又不好意思看我干,最后使劲劝说我不用锄得太干净。结果呢,就是“春风吹又生”了。我还挺高兴,瞧瞧人家生命的力量!但是今天早上出门,惊讶地发现小野花又不见了,泥土散发着朴实的气息。而且不知道是为了表达劳动者一种什么样的情绪,紧靠大门的地方悄悄竖起了一座小木头房子!我简直以为会有小精灵什么的住在里面了。但是小心地用脚碰一碰,很轻,也没有东西飞出来,就是曾有精灵,也应该已经离去了吧。

从感情上,我觉得这是一片神奇的土地。只是终归,从理智上,我大概是有着一些神奇的邻居。

A somewhat eventful day

I actually slept for about 6-7 hours for the first time in two weeks and was feeling a bit better this morning. Then when I walked out of my room, locking the door behind... I realized that I locked the keys in... yet again! Without my keys I can't even get out of the apartment complex. And I do want to be able to come back! I tried prying the lock with a Randall's card. But apparently I don't have the skills... I really need to go to work!! So I started kicking the door, as heavily as I could. After several rounds, while the door remained its stable silence, my roommate woke up and got out of his room... I have to admit he's got a lot more talent, coz within 3 minutes I got in. I didn't have time to say thanks for 50 times before I rushed out of the house.

Then it was the lunch with my former lab. The occasion was quite sentimental, at least I think so. But people were not showing it, including myself. Sentiments give way to stressed present and future, as always.

In the afternoon I was supposed to show a research professor how to use the notorious eye tracker. I thought it was just one person, maybe two, and the whole thing should take about half an hour. Well I was more careless than I should be, as often occurred lately. Five people showed up, which made me a bit nervous, but not too badly. I'm glad reading from the other eye turned out quite all right. Man it looks like I'm currently THE expert of ASL eye tracker... but the real fun part is... 恩,五个人里面有个是。。。帅哥,很大的那种帅哥。几个月前在系里聚会上就见过,现在好像胖了些,略略遗憾,不过还是帅得熠熠生辉,小爽了一把。

总而言之,从昨天开始,情绪开始好转了点,没有那么万念俱灰了,虽然还是挺难受的。而且,过去的几天,把一个好朋友是肯定给得罪了,然后把室友也给得罪了。呃。就这样吧。
