Houston Go Go

今天的比赛赢了，但还是很危险，幸亏最后Landry的封盖，不然真不知道什么结果，不管是回光返照，还是比赛的转折点，希望火箭好运，也希望McGrady找到应该有的感觉。看比赛的时候还是有点紧张啊～

NBA.com对这场比赛的评价是huge victory，的确，在爵士主场赢比赛比容易，赢两场更加不容易，加油加油。

Air On The G String

Johann Sebastien Bach：Air On The G String

今年的人文课选了‘西方音乐史’，由于种种原因我到了第十周，也就是上个礼拜才去音乐厅上了第一堂课，但仅仅一堂课足以让我领略到一种我以前没有体会到的音乐的魅力。这首G弦上的咏叹调就觉得很好听，其实以前听过，就是不知道是叫什么名字或者作曲家是谁了，我觉得这个课很好，就像上个学期学的‘欧美戏剧赏析’一样，我学到了很多东西，我知道了王尔德，田纳西，等等，所以我决定以后每堂西方音乐史都去上。

Something Political

ZiNG — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:42:14 +0000

最近中国不太安定，我一向对政治不感兴趣，但这次反响太大了，觉得应该说一点了。

中国正在向超级强国转变，这是一个十分微妙的时期，就如鸡蛋中蛋黄慢慢成为小鸡的过程，很多事物正在以超乎想象的速度变化，有许多不确定因素，一些事件是难以避免的，我们所要作的就是冷静的看待，顺利度过这个时期。

很多时候我是一个对政治不是很关心的人，当我听到家乐福的什么什么捐钱和法国支持那档子事的时候，我觉得有点不太可信，因为我以前一直觉得法国还是一个不错的国家，至少不至于和中国对着干。但是前几天金融课上老师的话还是分析的很有道理的，现在世界几乎每个角落都有中国人的身影，他们为什么要和中国人过不去？原因很简单，中国人的聪明和勤劳显然已经影响甚至威胁到当地人们的生活，当地国家的经济。遍布世界各地的中国移民已达3500万人（2007年数据，通过这里），这里说，中国自2002年以来每年出国留学人数都超过10万人，这样的状况如果其他国家不加以限制的话，中国人肯定会以另外一种方式实现侵略。所以像抵制家乐福地址法货这种事情我觉得没有必要（这个和抵制日货不一样，日货，被日的骚货，小日本深深伤害过中国人民的感情），毕竟家乐福也提供了不少就业机会，这可是好多同胞的生存保障。

今天去超市买东西，买了两大袋吃的，觉得花钱感觉真爽，至少比放在银行等着通胀强。金融老师说物价早在十年前就应该涨了，中国经济增长的很快，美国人喜欢来插一脚，我觉得美国人这一脚插的越厉害，说明我们对美国的威胁越强，让他们插去，我们干我们的。

最后支持一下这个活动。还有这个。

Just Drop A Word

今天学校开始本科教学评估了，感觉学校里每一个领导都紧张得不得了，下午去图书馆的路上经过一个叫文化素质教育基地的地方，以前没见过，估计是新装修起来的，油漆味还没有散去，真他妈的悲哀。

昨天花时间把自己用的theme修改了一下，加宽了一点，今天中午做了一个head image，theme是要选好，但是自己修改修改出来的效果也不错，我喜欢这个TarskiTheme，很整洁结构很好，也很好修改。下午看了GRE单词，觉得有点来不及，是很来不及，不管了，到时候看着办吧。在犹豫五一放假要不要回家，车票买卖很烦呐。

Watching Rocket Sucks

ZiNG — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:26:28 +0000

突然发现今天已经是四月20号了，也就是火箭碰爵士的第一场比赛，结果是火箭惨败，一点脾气都没有，虽然很喜欢麦迪，但是麦迪关键时候的表现是无法令人满意的，去年的苦战七场最后失败的情景还依稀记得，估计今年连七场都拖不到。也正是由于火箭关键时刻的梦游表现，我现在支持的球队变成了活塞，这样比较让人放心，不会再比赛的时候特别窝火或者失望，看Kobe或者Lebron的比赛其实也很放心，至少他们不会再最关键的时候一分都得不了。

It Just Sucks

昨天去图书馆翻几本摄影的书，在书架旁边翻看的时候发现有一本人体摄影，不由自主的拿起来看，虽然说里面的内容有点少儿不宜，但是确实很美，我就一页一页的翻过去，没想到才翻到第三页，发现很大一块被人剪掉了，真是很气愤，学校里居然还有这种家伙，更气愤的是我发现一本书几乎三分之一都被剪掉了，看来学生的素质还是有待提高。

拿了一本John Hedgecoe的The Manual of Photography，看了景深和光圈的一部分，有点不太懂，以后还要研究研究。

A Nice Color Pattern

我很喜欢德国的设计风格，看到一个页面很nice：exhero.de 。尤其是配色，有种很好的感觉，很清楚。

Triviality These Days

最近几天，很无聊，每天睡到九点多起来，每天都是上午两节课结束了就开始玩，上上网，玩玩游戏，昨天晚上和人聊天聊了一个晚上，之后做梦又梦到和妈妈关于两条鱼吵架。生活不能这样，否则会腐烂。去学习了！
