I like it, Adagio. I always wanted to ask you if you've received any training in humanity and liberal art? It just seems that you are very well trained... I have a poem in my mind that is related to spring. It also contains a lot of "a thousand". :-) I was unable to finish it for quite a while: can't find the right word. I will see if I can finish it over the weekend.

笨笨，这篇的确是很有力气！：-) 可以讲一下你在写这篇的时候心里想的是谁吗？

我还想笨笨怎么好久没见了，原来是美得人没了力气！：-)

Since when "亨利八世则掉了脑袋"? :-)

I like this one A Shan. It is long but never boring. It is not just about JoAnne but also about yourself. Hope to see the whole series.

大部分同意SUNLOVER的说法。其实我很吃惊报社把剽窃者的个人信息给杜大姐，他们其实是没有权利这样做的。这有点一推六二五，让你们自己打去。 我觉得法律上应该是严格的杜大姐VS.报社的做法：报社澄清错误，报社道歉，要赔钱的话由报社赔钱。至于剽窃者如何是报社和她的事。 要剽窃者经济赔偿，否则公布姓名的做法是不行的。一来报社不是法律执行机构，它没有权利这么做，二来在法律上这也形成了敲诈(BLACKMAILING)。几年前BILL COSBY有个私生女向他要钱，不给就要将身世公布于众。结果虽然她的确是COSBY的女儿没错，还是以敲诈罪被捕。 很支

七格的文章怎么那么多性别歧视。。。 I，ROBIT 在美国没什么反响，我还是很喜欢的。也喜欢里面涉及的哲学思考。THE MATRIX第二，三集为照顾女观众而加的三角KISS(连三角恋都不算)就很差劲了，简直是在侮辱广大女同胞的情商。事实上自从MATRIX从虚幻世界的小游击队反抗演变到真实世界的大规模武装斗争，这戏就算毁了，一点悬念都没了。所以我只喜欢几个零星片段：在OFFICE CUBICLE里逃难的NEO；在厨房里烤饼干的ORACLE；在空荡的地铁站等车的程序游魂。。。 另外TITANIC如果从爱情片的角度看那真是拍得很烂啊。

我不知道，但有点感想，觉得但凡比较真切的痛苦，总能TRANSCEND；但是好多现代艺术好像都在瞎痛苦。。。一问你在表现什么，十有八九都是痛苦，还没开始生活呢就先痛苦上了。。。

我前几年玩AGE OF EMPIRE，大约有一年，玩得回到真实社会中都觉得这个树该砍了，那个社区房屋规划不对。后来戒了。 今年年初玩了一小阵子SIM 2，太耽误事，让我狠狠心扔垃圾箱了。

玛雅同病，同病。春天生病天，易睡觉。 我生病时常幻想自己是画皮里的女鬼。比如现在，我把发炎的喉咙展开，铺平，在 桌子上固定好---一定会看到深深的红肿的伤痕。我在上面涂好什么速效消炎药，然 后隔几小时观察一次。到全好了，我就再把皮穿上。

笨笨的诗象线条简单，色彩鲜明的动画。我现在脑子里就是一大箭头。==> ：-)

Thanks stargazer, sometimes I think I am just taking the easy way out coz I can't really write English essays well so I'd just write shorter ones. :V)

del.

Adagio, this is basically the last step of furniture making (or in this case, repainting an old furniture), when you smooth out the surface of the wood, apply the paint and a protective polish. "Southern sun" doesn't have a particular meaning, other than that I live in the south and you need to let the paint dry throughly under the warm sun. Benben, thanks for the kind word. I don't read a lot of English poems myself coz I usually lose my patience after one page. :-)

我不懂宗教啊，插一小嘴：“天堂地狱皆烈火”，佛教似乎并不稀罕天堂并以此为奋斗目标。

Please take care of your baby.

看了张慧敏的求助信和文章。坦白说，她的精神病症状已经相当明显。这种事还是要靠专业人士，作家们不要自充医生，延误治疗，有害无益。

THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO EDGAR ALLAN POE THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution

替阿珊高兴！

I don't recall any women's day in the U.S. Don't know about Europe. Just reading Time's cover story "the real truth about women's brains and the gender gap in science". we will see about those "biological factors".

天啊，大家都在上学，我也要上学啊！我算了一下，上一个文科的硕士大约要先补7，8年左右的本科课(每学期业余上一门)。老天让我有钱和时间去上学吧。课程名单在我手里都压了两年了。我的壁橱里是一大堆的大学的class schedule,夜深人静时我就坐在里面看。

玛雅越来越有回国倾向，不好。 回去了说不定又会想念美国了。

我就喜欢竖排。英文的想竖还竖不了呢。 竖排的书一般也比较懂得留白。

Is Cafe Philosophi same thing as the Socrates Cafe? I've never been to one, but I like their concepts: common people gathering together discussing philosophies related to current issues.

the last samurai? ^-^

Errr.... because he is too old? and How? :) Heart failure.

Daddy --- by Sylvia Plath You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Daddy, I have had to kill you. You died before I had time ---- Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off the beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du. In th

I am glad you found it interesting Stargazer.

This shouldn't be the son of Pompey but the son of Mithridates, King of Pontus in Asian Minor who early on was defeated by Pompey. The son, Pharnaces, was making trouble against Rome during the time Caesar was having fun with Cleopatra in Egypt, so Caesar had to leave Egypt to deal with him.

Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky. Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die. Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime. Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name. Nothing in the world will ever be the same. Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more. Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before. Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever. Yes, love, love
