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。
    ZeemanSlower
  • 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。

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

I’ll cover you

I’ll Cover You

I’ll Cover You (Reprise) from Rent

Live in my house. I’ll be your shelter
Just pay me back with one thousand kisses
Be my lover, and I’ll cover you
Open your door I’ll be your tenant
Don’t got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I’ve got to spare
I’ll be there and I’ll cover you
I think they meant it
When they said you can’t buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease, you are, my love, on life
All my life I’ve longed to discover
Something as true as this is yeah.

So with a thousand sweet kisses
I’ll cover you
If you’re cold and you’re lonely
With a thousand sweet kisses
I’ll cover you
You’ve got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I’ll cover you
When you’re worn out and tired
With a thousand sweet kisses
I’ll cover you
When your heart has expired
Oh lover I’ll cover you
Oh lover I’ll cover you

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand seasons of love

I will cover you

活到这把年纪也该明白

// April 12th, 2006 // 7 Comments » // Academic, Life, Music & Show

这学期一开始老板就开始更严重的直接push,上周他发现我对超真空系统还不熟悉,于是开始采用小羞辱的方法帮助我进步-_-。其实也就是问我一些问题,就像口头考试似的,只不过他问的方式比较intimidating,有时和他对话不容易插进什么话。而且有时我大概和他有些不同意见,虽然我在国内时觉得我更喜欢实验,出来之后发现,其实我还是挺喜欢理论的。他就基本上认为实验室总是有事情做的,我应该尽可能窝在实验室鼓弄这个鼓弄那个而不是呆在隔壁办公室看paper。两个师兄也一个比一个刻苦,刻苦的夸张!我已经过着朝九晚九晚十晚十一的日子,可他们都还比我走的晚来的早。尤其那个美国大师兄,晚上9点回家都要加上一句”I’ll be lazy and take off”,也常夜里12点以后收到他新鲜出炉的关于某项实验的update。其实我本科时也有更厉害的时候,早晨9点到实验室,然后中饭晚饭都是某一个人去打然后在实验室吃,然后一直做到晚上12点,不过那时是快出成果,也就持续了不到两星期。而我们现在还不到什么太关键的时候,实在无法现象等要出成果前要忙成什么样。说回老板,面对面小羞辱后,又邮件说我需要继续提高实验技巧甚至说俺要提高common sense-_-,然后预告我这周要开faculty meeting讨论二年级研究生所以要和我谈谈,我就一直等待着这个阶段性总结性羞辱。嘿,谁知我似乎这几天的表现让他满意,今天下午的谈话倒一点羞辱都没有了,主要就是告诉我这是我换课题或者换导师的最后机会。其实虽然我嘴上说老板太push,虽然我是觉得在这个实验室工作时间太不健康,但是老板确实是个难得的好老板,每次被羞辱完,都会迅速的学到不少东西,而且他确实是在很用心的培养俺们,很明显他会努力的为我们寻求出路。而且他其实在学术上还是很厉害的,毕竟他还有他老婆还有一个教授的加盟可是让达摩物理排名飚升了几十名。还是跟着他吧!不过还是有件可怕的事情,老板和师兄都提醒过我,实验室现在就我们仨学生,再过个一年多,两个师兄都要毕业,我就要成leading student了。除了需要在这一年多掌握他俩的技能,到时候我就没角落可躲,得拼成什么样啊。。。。

上面这段实在胡诌的乱七八糟,这学期除了实验室任务加重,还有门不简单的课和挺麻烦的助教,还被老板要求参加这月底graduate students appreciation week的poster session,咳,我身心疲惫思维混乱也正常了@_@。

顺便来首歌吧,Tizzy Bac的You’ll see。厉害的歌手/乐队就是要能霸道的把某种元素变成自己的标志,现在对我来说,小钢琴弹奏就被Tizzy Bac暴占了,听到类似的歌都会觉得,啊,好tizzy bac!这首歌就非常tizzy bac,歌词也说的不错:“在这匆忙的世界里 失去什么 受不受伤 都一样”,“活到这把年纪也该明白”。是啊,也该明白。

You’ll See

Tizzy Bac – You’ll See

我看着站在远方的你依然如此美好如往昔
But you know,有些话就是不能明说~

我看着站在眼前的你依然如此美好如往昔
But you know,有些话就是不能明说
多年时光 都温柔经过
那么多人 来了又走
但也许我们只能远望不相逢

一个人渐渐成熟 就会笑着泪流
总有些遗憾要学会放开
活到这把年纪也该明白

But I say you’ll see, I’d make you see
Every detail of this damning life
I say you’ll see, I’d make you see
You’ll see

在这匆忙的世界里 失去什么 受不受伤 都一样
But you know,只有你是如此决对不同
不奢求哪天 我不要人懂
总在心底偷藏起这小美梦
这样的温柔就已经足够

一个人渐渐成熟 就会笑着泪流
总有些麻烦是人躲不开
活到这把年纪也该明白

But I say you’ll see, I’d make you see
Every detail of this damning life
I say you’ll see, I’d make you see
You’ll see

我不断听你说 说着他的美好 说着你们的梦
这一切真的很重要 请你相信我
我真的什么都不要
到底怎样才能算是爱 请不要靠的太近
我背后柔软的伤痛 不想让人触摸
但在你转身瞬间
泪在心底成了河流

Rent [3/5]

// April 2nd, 2006 // 4 Comments » // Movie, Music & Show

Rent Stage这部百老汇传奇的音乐剧改编的电影对我来说,就是那一首歌。最早在完全不知道Rent的背景时,就是预告片里的这首歌吸引了我。在知道Rent的辉煌背景后,看完电影,感动我和留下深刻印象的还是开场的这首歌。电影开场,8个人站在舞台上,灯光打下,唱起这首Seasons of Love,我窝在黑暗影院的座位里,恍惚中好像他们就站在台上唱着。这首歌,我非常喜欢。

Seasons of Love & Seasons of Love B

电影8个主角中有6个都找回1996年音乐剧首映时的original cast来演,虽然这会增加一些纪念意义而且这些演员确实演的都不错,但毕竟10年过去了,他们的年龄已经不符合角色的情境了。Rent无疑是一部优秀的音乐剧,改成电影确实不容易,这部电影也做的不太好,也许有些音乐剧就应该保留在舞台上。如果还能有机会,我会再看音乐剧的。故事背景大概可以用其中一首歌的名字来概括,La Vie Boheme (“the bohemian life”)。感兴趣的看wikipedia的介绍吧。

Seasons of Love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love

Seasons of love. Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

It’s time now to sing out,
Tho’ the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!

Oh you got to got to Remember the love! remember the love,
You Measure in love know that love is a gift from up above Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love Measure measure you life in love.

Seasons of Love – B

In diapers, report cards, in spoke wheels, in speeding tickets
In contracts, dollars, in funerals, in births.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes –
how do you figure a last year on earth?
Figure in love
Figure in love
Figure in love. Measure love.
Seasons of love. Seasons of love.
