母亲节快乐,嗯。

小小的我

2006年5月3日流水帐

// May 4th, 2006 // 10 Comments » // Academic, Life, Music & Show

  • 8:30am经过6小时的睡眠后被闹铃叫起,还计划9:30am前到实验室,能在上课前假装干会儿活,结果昨晚的辣辣辣鸡珍造成了每一次都会造成的结果,于是凭空多花了不少时间在厕所-_-。
  • 10:00am勉强赶到教室开始上课,5秒钟后离开教室继续享受辣辣辣鸡珍的成果。
  • 11:05am下课,开车和未来新室友去west lebanon看房子。这次再找房子,决定找稍微好一点的社区,当然也提高了预算。今天看的这个Meadow Brook Village环境不错,有游泳池,相当有点高尚小区的假象,当然,其实只是硬撑一撑。房子挺大,唯二不好的一个是在一楼,视野不够开阔,另一个是我比较在意的,天花板感觉略低。再议再议,毕竟这个lease会需要在我现在lease结束之前开始,会凭空浪费钱。虽然我大概还挺想就这算了。
  • 1:30pm吃完饭回到实验室,开始干活啊干活,晚饭都没吃的一直到晚上10:00pm。中间偶尔继续享受成果,偶尔串门聊天,偶尔查信看小新闻。有一段时间,实验室的三个人,Michael, Andy和我三个人同时一起在干活,Michael说Isn’t it nice?然后我们放起音乐继续干活。咳。照片右前的东西就是今天我的成果了,实物只有一厘米的半径,很cute的。它将和左后前段时间做的白色物体构成冷却Li6的Zeeman Slower,希望一切正常哈。

  • 10:10pm离开实验室,走在取车的路上,听到诡异发现的王菲同学的一首我居然一直没听过的歌,虽然不是多么动听,但还是挺想念她的歌声,想应该放上来。歌词:我爱你王菲-我爱你
  • 10:40pm回到家和电话公司小姐进行友好的交谈,结果是感觉莫名的一笔$44.70的帐单我是需要付的,咳。
  • 11:00pm开始看Top Chef,中间抽空拿微波炉热了几条bacon以及惊喜发现的前天晚上的剩菜当晚饭,每天都这么晚吃饭,肯定会胖的啊。看完Top Chef又继续无聊的看了一个小时其他不同类型的无脑reality show。
  • 1:30am写完这篇文章,在想要不要开始批明天(今天?)需要搞定的学生作业。咳,又还刚拿到实验报告要批,咳。

嗯,就是这样,哈。

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong

// May 1st, 2006 // 8 Comments » // Life, Randomness

今天在English The Real Deal看到了Murphy’s Law。这条定律是在1949年从美国空军的Capt. Edward A. Murphy口中诞生的,到现在已经有了无数变型和引伸,但中心思想就是一句话:If anything can go wrong, it will。列几条比较基本的,用最近常见到的一个词来形容,这些定律非常死相-_-。

MURPHY’S LAWS
  • Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
  • If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
  • If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
  • If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
  • Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
  • If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
  • Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
  • Mother nature is a bitch.
  • It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
  • Everything takes longer than you think.
  • Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
  • Every solution breeds new problems.

还有一张poster,上面列的几条是相对更生活化的,当然也同样死相,比如The chance of a slice of bread falling butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet(面包掉落有黄油的一面着地的概率正比于地毯的价格)。上面还强调Murphy was an optimist。如果我们已经知道everything will go wrong,那么也就没什么好畏惧的了。所以让我们共同乐观对待这个美好的世界吧,禀承The Murphy Philosophy: Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse. lol

起床闹钟歌

// April 25th, 2006 // 27 Comments » // Life, Music & Show

我是一个赖床的人,所以闹钟对我来说非常重要,自然响起的歌也需要合适。上一个手机闹钟用的一直是品冠的《起床》,主要觉得名字比较契合,而且旋律很柔和。现在换了新手机也就趁机换首新歌。目前的主打是Kings of Convenience的《I’d Rather Dance With You》,稍微热闹一点哈,毕竟现在每天都需要比较早起,太柔和叫不起我了。KOC是我一直特别喜欢的indie小乐团,两个成员都各有特色,顺便推荐一下他们。

I’d Rather Dance With You

I’d Rather Dance With You

I’d rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don’t we just move into the other room
There’s space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune

Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven’t read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn’t like it at all

I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you…

The music’s too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I’ll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you’ll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing…

I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you…
I’d rather dance with you
I’d rather dance with you

没赢

刚从poster session回来,站两个多小时加上讲解真是累啊。给评审讲完后,才有功夫去要了杯红酒,溜达了溜达。虽然最后三个得奖者里没有我,我觉得其实讲的还是不错的,结果公布后一个评审还过来和我握手说我讲的很好,不过大家都很不错,每一组只能选一个冠军,我绝对算是最impressive的之一了,起码这句话可以聊以自慰。而且虽然我没得,至少我们实验室的一个师兄Andy得了,嘿嘿,按照老板的奖金分享提议,Andy已经开始计划周五的小庆祝午餐了。除了评审,还有不少其他人也过来问问题,整体都还不错的样子。今天正好属于英语水平波动周期中的上半部分,所以感觉水平还不错哈。

不管怎样,结束了。继续回来批作业带实验写作业准备期中考试顺便抽时间看电影了。
