在芝加哥拍這段影片時,並不知在台灣的妹妹將在家中投下一顆威力有如强大的原子彈的震撼消息。幸好爸媽身經百戰,很快地就調整好腳步,從震驚中恢復。
"我們當下所做的每一個決定,決定著我們的未來。"(蝴蝶效應)- 這些年的經歷,明明白白地印證了這句話。
回顧這一年,起起伏伏。願來年大家平平順順,有個如意年。
---吃飯自己來,真不錯啊。
When I play movie, I need to check theater each show. I need to check the screen and make sure the film shows properly. I have to look at the screen, despite what type of movie is showing.
I don’t like to watch scary movie. A couple weeks ago, “Saw VI” was showing. I have no idea what the movie was. When I did the screen check, I saw the most disgusting killing scene. I feel sick when I was out.
Anyway, I have never been a Michael Jackson’s fan. But I do think his MTVs are outstanding. When “This is it” came out, I wasn’t plan to watch it. However, I saw bits of the movie from my screen check. He is so professional in each scene, which made my wanted to see the whole movie.
So, I went. And this is a great movie.
Watching his dancing and singing, I forgot he was 50 years old. His every movement is so attractive on the stage. I don’t think any future singers are able to achieve his achievement. It's the first time I feel that he waste past 10 years not to perform on the stage. it's a waste of his talent and a loss of audiences.
It is the first time, I agree with “kind of pop”. He is a truly artist.
因為辦公室和圖書館很近,上個月董仔托我幫他還一本很大本的書。我一進大廳,一個年青人看到我手上的書就知道我是來還書的。我還沒開口,他就指了一個櫃子說,投入即可。以前我在UCM時,借還都得用學生證。想不到十多年來,NAU的借還書系統還是沒變。真方便啊。
結果,前天上班時,董仔急急來電問我有沒有還那本書,我真是丈二金剛摸不著頭緒,什麼的什麼,已是八百年前的事了,現在怎麼在問?
原來,圖書館找不到那本書,直指董仔借書不還,在e-mail中不止現罰30美元,還說如果再找不到,我們要賠那本書,要一百多元。最糟的是,董仔正在做的研究需要跟圖書館大量借書,圖書館現在要凍結他的戶頭,不能借書一個月。
蝦米!!這豈不是欺人太甚?!董仔一聽不能借書就要昏倒了,我一聽要賠書,火氣就來了。他們把書弄丟,就叫學生賠,有這麼容易的事?那我也要開圖書館!
我問了書名,直接到圖書館去。櫃台小姐看我的臉色很難看,一聽那個書名,就知道怎麼回事,沒等我說完,就說她要請經理來跟我講。
那最好。我等經理到了,劈哩啪啦解釋了我親自還書的經過,並且跟她强調,如果學校的借書系統不能被信任,那就不能讓學生這樣還書。我跟她說,我決不為他人的過失承擔責任。我叫她去查那天上班的表,看是誰的錯。那位經理開始時還在解釋,後來也沒話說,只說她會去查,會再努力找找看。
等我下班回家,董仔說,那位經理寫了封信給他,說"你太太很生氣地來找我…”。董仔說,一看到這句,他嚇壞了,想說我不知怎樣去得罪人。
我沒看到那封信,但是現在那30美元的罰金已經取消了,董仔也能借書。看來,她相信我的"說詞"(獅吼)。只希望他們快快找到書。
這真是烏龍一塲。
