其实已经很晚了  突然想写两句

又是战线拉得很长的一天 从早晨9点到学校 一直到晚上12点归来

上课自修加工作

好在资本主义的墙角还是很好挖的 或者今天的shift实在排的太好 house staff for movie night... 原本是6点半到11点半工作 结果是工作2个小时 用两个小时看了个叫Fantastic Mr fox的电影  其实挺无聊   然后不知道谁搞来蛋糕和饮料 于是边吃边喝看了一小时书 就赚到了5个小时的工资 临走前还拿了一堆活动搞完留下的itune免费下载卡...虽然在强大的迅雷面前 是基本没有什么用的

冰箱是基本空了 只有半箱杯面和半瓶merlot...

吃一杯 喝一杯 

踢把实况 然后睡觉    昨天搞来PES2010...  里面的欧冠很是不赖...

觉得生活似乎变得越发很简单 ...完全没有什么可以搬上台面所谓宏图了

最终无非是找个工作找个姑娘  然后可以有一个足够大的客厅放一个最够大的电视用来踢实况...

再然后就等着退休了...  我发现我是完了 完全萎靡的无志青年

祖国现代化和全人类的幸福就靠别人了...

扯远了...

明天还要早起送隔壁哥们去考托福...

下周还有second round midterm...

end of thursday, week 7

子时  夜半销魂，谁人歌

混乱中早出晚归忙碌徘徊

1 上课时候收到一条短信如下

BruinAlert:.

Police Emergency at Young Hall. Situation under control, suspect in custody. All persons should avoid Young Hall....

后来知道的确很严重...

2.这学校里干活的确是纯劳力 当牲口使 晚上连gym也省了去了...安慰一下的是有钱赚 虽然不多...干活的时候碰到一个有人讲中文的ucla extension项目 大叔们说是芒果卫视来学习的...还要我个电话..我第一反应是 难道不成又有个地儿去蹭饭了...

3.回公寓 楼下有人冰箱着火了...整个楼道烟雾弥漫 消防车来乱哄哄折腾一阵...

4.免费去领了一张周六在玫瑰碗对俄勒冈橄榄球票 发现那天的那个时间还要去工作...

5.去报了个Putnam exam 估计是去当炮灰了...

6.Bank of America 发信用卡的速度很快 办事速度很慢

7.萧亚轩新专辑还不错 可以听... 

8.future cookie里吃出来的小条上写着

   "Hold tight to your dream" 这话不假 每天早晨我都很不想起床...

鸡栖于埘，日沉坡

最近...

1. 假期过得太久了 很没有学习的状态 比较躁动...

2. 国庆很和谐.全国人民阅兵的时候我在做作业 看到一个很好的签名..全国人民mid-autumn, 我在mid-term

3. 每天去上课要翻一座山

4. 去各种地方混吃混喝...忙里偷闲穿着球鞋+短裤+T-shirt去各大公司的展示会 如此坐在大多穿正装急切要找工作的人们之中 原本觉得很迥 后来突然顿悟 自己也就剩一年可以简单的肆意了 明年找不到工作估计会更迥...

5. 找厕所 无意走到了走廊尽头 发现了神童教授的办公室 人貌似不在 照张相纪念瞻仰下  

一切基本进入另一条正轨 有地方住了 开始上课以及去学校里打零工 还有地方蹭饭顺便和一实中的学术大牛用太普吹牛逼...透来..流氓不可怕 就怕流氓有文化...

很庆幸能经历一个既阴又冷且潮湿的秋天...

至于一个已逐渐变得很陌生的寒冷的冬天...

仅仅属于奢望了...

日暮将至，归田园

GRE结课 没有丝毫解脱的释然 倒是仿佛像另一段或无聊或艰辛的经历之前的短暂前奏...万泉河101TR951这20天遇到的各种老师还是很不错的 段子和其他 都很好 ...考G这件事似乎远没有上课时周围的大多数那么纯粹...8月考作文 然后是10G...有时甚至还在飘忽不定的搞不清自己到底要不要去考...但是过去的两年一直认为自己失去了许多在国内大学里应有的各种琐碎的事 这20天突然有些许的安慰 一种混入革命队伍中的莫名欣喜 于是找到两个理由去完成这件事 1.对于过去两年以及将要到来的两年的天平的另一边那些永远不会体验到的经历的一种补偿 2.认真完成一件事 无论是什么 应该都会很爽 这个就姑且先算一件...

可是很诚实的说 估计现在也就1100左右的水平...的确任重道远...

昨天 看到这么一条很具我国和谐到极致的特色社会主义大无畏精神的高尚情操的通知...

XXXX物业管理处今天上午接到北京热力集团停热水通知，热力集团为了保证热力管线在国庆期间的正常使用，避免热力主管线出现漏水、崩管事故发生，给小区及社会造成不良影响，北京热力集团自7月28日23：00至8月15日对小区外热力主管线进行检测、检修，以保证热力管线在国庆期间正常运行。

于是意味着今后几天要洗冷水澡了...国庆这件事果然可以深入人心...再次对北京这个混杂的大农村表示同情和遗憾 作为一来自中部欠发达地区的外来人口 还是不得不承认这里的外来流动人口太多太杂了 怎么比我们那还多.. 于是又感到了咱家乡还是要和谐很多的... 我会很快的离开 带着滞留在这里数天所感到的歉意以及以后会尽量少来的美好愿望愉悦且忧伤的离开 努力为首都的和谐做出应有的贡献... 

人定归本，早安眠...

GRE一周  每天起着大早挤着公车 听着扯淡的笑话背着恶心的单词...按时喂鸟 清理鸟笼等各种鸟杂碎...有时候觉得很无聊 有时候觉得很绝望 但往往又找不到任何可以无聊以及绝望的理由 于是勉强概括为天气太热了..  北京这地方是很难令人有归属感的 各种混和杂 还有惨不忍睹的交通系统...的确不是很认同各阶层人民都往这里挤的这种极其不健全的社会现实...

最近很有一种空旷的错觉...或者说是自己站在一处太久了 以至于似乎周围的一切都在以飞快地速度奔向前...或者简单的归结为落伍...于是当以缓慢的步伐移动着 用陈旧的价值观去做出评价的时候 不免会显得很土...随后便开始莫名神经质地怀疑价值观这种东西到底可以维持多久 然后发现实在找不到答案 再然后就又无奈的去背单词了...最终就又回到了背与忘的重复...

Sorry I am droped far a way behind the time...Probably I won't  make any judgement, since everything is changing...or I don't care any more...

About two Hitchcock Movies...

Same screenplay writer (John Michael Hayes), same leading actress (Grace Kelly), and close release years (1954 and 1955), all of these make Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” and “To Catch a Thief” very similar. Clearly, both of them are typical Hitchcock style: a mystery, a hero, beautiful women and a Hitchcock appearance on the screen. On the other hand, the narrative structure of these two movies is very different, which ingeniously avoids spectator disenchantment, while watching two movies that share many similarities.

In both movies, the stories have the same theme: a hero who is trying to investigate a mystery. “Rear Window” is about a murder, and “To Catch a Thief” is about a series of jewelry robberies. During the mystery solving process, in both stories, a beautiful and graceful woman’s help is crucial and indispensable. Hitchcock makes this feature of his style even more prominent by using the same actress, Grace Kelly, in both movies. Additionally Hitchcock’s style is further validated by ,some trivial re-occurring themes as the policemen, in both movies, are the hero’s obstacle or problem.

Considering these two movies, we can say Hitchcock is really skilled at seeking differences while accepting existing common ground. The major difference in these two movies is the narrative structure. In discovering Hitchcock’s classic style in the common themes as discussed above, the narrative structure of these two movies reveals the diversity of Hitchcock’s movies.

In “Rear Window”, the narrative structure, to a certain extent, is an induction structure, because no one knows, including the hero, Jimmy Stewart, what the mystery is exactly until the last minute of the story. During the whole movie, Jimmy Stewart is trying to collect evidence to figure out what happened to the businessman’s wife, one of the tenants in his apartment building. He assumes it is a murder, but it is just an assumption. The accumulation of evidence finally leads to a concrete conclusion. Briefly speaking, the structure flow is from cause to result, keeping the audience in suspense until the last minutes, with the police catching the murderer after a fight between Jimmy Stewart and the businessman. The whole story could have been a misunderstanding, but instead it is really a mystery within a mystery, as no one knows what will happen until the curtain call. The attraction of this movie is edge-of-your-seat focus on the ending...

Compared with “Rear Window”, the narrative structure of “To Catch a Thief” is much clearer. It is more a process of deduction, because we know all about the jewelry theifts at the beginning of the movie. Throughout the whole movie, Gary Grant is believed to be the perpetrator as he investigates on his own to exonerate himself. Briefly speaking, the structure flow is from result to cause as Hitchcock show a series of jewelry robberies with some mystery about who the criminal is from the very beginning. Even though Gary Grant, a reform jewelry robber is suspect, his culpability is not clear. Generally, the ending is obvious and predictable: Gary Grant discovers the identity of the real robber making the process of investigation the focus of this movie. There are more attractive scenes in “To Catch a Thief” than “Rear Window”, such us the gorgeous scenery of the French countryside which contribute to holding audience attention until the very end...    

The different narrative structures allow these two movies to catch audience attention in different ways illustrating the genius of Hitchcock to leave his audience coming back for more. ..

Like a Rolling Stone...

像Green Day这种歌词向来写得帅气的乐队来翻唱Bob Dylan的东西还是很带劲的...

Billie Joe Armstrong 快要40岁的老朋客...似乎早已不仅仅是躁动了

虽然年纪已和音乐有几分的不协调 还好歌词依旧...

总比U2里那几个老男人不久前的烟熏装要来得缓和些...

很遗憾秋天就要从湾区搬走了...一直想到Green Day在Ockland的录音室去看看的想法是没戏了...

Like A Rolling Stone
Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you?
Peopled call, say beware doll, youre bound to fall
You thought they were all kiddin you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin out
Now you dont talk so loud
Now you dont seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Youve gone to the finest school all right, miss lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out youre gonna have to get used to it
You said youd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
Hes not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it aint no good
You shouldnt let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Aint it hard when you discover that
He really wasnt where its at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Theyre drinkin, thinkin that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But youd better lift your diamond ring, youd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you cant refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Youre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

最近...

1. 两三年之内第一次在国内进电影院...

变形金刚2原本是一部很震撼的片子 虽然被和谐掉了东方明珠塔...

但是由于电影院环境与技术的缺陷 除了屏幕大一些丝毫分辨不出与宅在屋里守着电脑看有何区别  

加之周围吵的吵　闹的闹　手机铃声响不断...

不过也罢 自己原本对这类科幻电影不是很感兴趣 对于变形金刚的热衷是出于年幼时的一些怀念...

似乎是我一直想要个超大的擎天柱...或者有一天我的Chevy突然也变形了...

变不成大黄蜂 变个绿头苍蝇也成...

2. 用杂碎的时间消遣完了韩寒的 "他的国"...

此前一直以为这哥们前一阵子手头很紧 写本书骗点银子

后来发现  估计是在手头很紧的时候顺便的思考了下我们和谐而混乱的社会...

他书中那些从复杂的社会现象中压榨出来的含沙射影破事 足以给人民群众以闲暇中的欢乐

当前形势下  我们的确需要他这种看似亢奋敏感 却又很不正经的近似边缘青年 

娱乐大众 人人有责...

3. Michael Jackson 死了 在UCLA Medical Center...

看了几个MJ过去的视频  只能感慨下 Life is a paradox  毫无疑问的wei人....伟人猥人各一半...

流行之王去了 令人欣慰的是 他应该是属于自己把自己整死的...

因此可以自豪的说他是其自己生命的主宰者...其实很好 

设想一下十年后他那张脸的模样将会是件很惊悚的事　rated R

这样至少可以在恐怖来临之前 远去...　　

Forever young．．． Forever Human beings

下学期如果去Medical Center 看个感冒什么的 顺便也去悼念下流行之王.... 

Each day's a gift and not a given right

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
