I was trying to say something else. Anyway this is not an effective execution....

我早说啦，对女人的解放带动了对男人的解放。男人责任好重啊，一定要被解放出来！：-)

Thanks for the compliments, 81 and Maya. Drinking, have you noticed the skyscraper close to the sears tower decorated with, among other things, a piece of a Chinese commoner's tombstone? I always wonder why.

Wow, got praised by Maya and Adagio, grinning ear to ear... Don't scare me, adagio, I am just a housewife from a redneck state, never wrote a single English poem until 3 days ago. New Yorker is waaaayyy too uptown to me.

I am glad you like it, Ashan and Hanson. I was hoping it was more than just a comic piece. I can't change the title though, because you can't apologize to the chicken because she is already dead. You can write a letter, but you can't deliver the letter of course because since she is dead she's got no address.

谢谢玛雅鼓励。 笨笨，那是我写的，脸红ing

Wow, hold it hold it! Too much pressure already! Just enjoy your life without children for a while, Ah-shan. :-)

晕，是the house of flying daggers. 飞镖会？ 七格终于去搞电影了，快拍一部出来吧，我们终究是在和时间赛跑。

看起来同性恋和异性恋的界线是模模糊糊，糊里糊涂的。按今天的标准，古代社会恐 怕有一半人都得算bi-sexual.

FIRE AND ICE Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would Suffice. Robert Frost, 1920

谢谢文摘和阿珊。 看了旅行介绍，觉得还是castle比较有趣

照这样说，男人的人生选择更少。没结婚时的有限资源可以自己花，结婚后就要受老 婆管。女人可以选择在家带小孩，男人若作此选择社会舆论的压力就太大了，还不 是要老老实实把自己卖给混蛋老板？许多男人起初也是有搞艺术的梦想的，到头来 还是向现实低头。

bottle feeding不一定就是“不让孩子与自己有充分肌肤之亲”吧？我就觉得现在breast feeding被炒得太过分，搞得母亲们都神经兮兮的。 这个心理学家更有趣的实验是让铁丝猴虐待小猴，小猴一靠近她就遭弹簧打甚至电 击(此举遭到动物保护者的批评)，但是小猴还是愿意一次又一次靠近“母亲”，一 点不吸取教训，尽管在别处也可以得到食物。在此之前人们不理解为什么受父母虐 待的儿童还对父母有依赖感，这个实验证明他们实在是天性如此。

七格怎么突然歌颂起婚姻来了，不是说结婚就完蛋了一半吗？你一定没看玛雅的杂文 “享乐的人生”，专门批判这个童话故事的。 年轻时旅行和现在旅行的感觉真是不一样的，那时真是充满期望又无所牵挂。

赋格，fucking不是动词也不是现在分词，是形容词：他妈的John Wayne. 诗人们不知道John Wayne是谁？ -------------------------------

Ahem...这个SUSAN不是我...:-) 阿 姗 为 人 太 善 了 ， 要 是 换 了 我 ， 哼 哼 。 。 。

Here is my reflection on this 道 thing: To achieve 凝神忘我, a lot of times we need nothing more than a clear conscience: free of guilt. Guilt comes from deception; deception comes from avoidance; avoidance comes from procrastination; procrastination comes from fearing to realize what an incompetent idiot I actually am. Yet chances are, however incompetent you are, you may be the only competent one for the job. So my prescription is --- gripe. Don’t be afraid to be a crying baby. Give it all y

此乃印度教基本教宗。 反正就是这东西本身，就是我，就是影子，就是什么也不是。反正就是就不是。哈哈！好玩儿！这个世界真好玩儿。这个世界就是我。我真好玩儿。哈哈！

Maya, you finally got it! :-) If you've decided to marry a rich old man you'd better put some effort into it. Make it the goal of 2004!

adagio 的话好chilly啊！

Snowbaby, Here is my take on this. There are 3 things involving sexuality. Sex: the physical difference between men and women. Gender: the expectation of a society for men to behave like men and women to behave like women. Sexual orientation: the preference of the sexual partner. These 3 things can be independent from each other. Feminine is associated with Gender: how a society define what a woman should behave. It is not really the same as sexual attraction, many times it is quite the opposite. In
