十顆星

Life in this little school really can suck up all my anergy. Why there is always something need to do? I no longer think a break can satisfied me, I need more, I need a day-off.
Please someone just shoot me in the head and do me a favor end my miserable life.

11月7日晚上7點在電影院的第7廳看NANA-ナナ- 感覺還不壞哩.
這是我能給的最高限度,雖然我很喜歡這個故事,但是也沒辦法給超過一星.看完之後只有一個想法,'看漫畫就夠了'.
當然這裡面有些不錯的地方,像是道具和場景都很寫實,台詞大多數也都和漫畫一樣,可是啊,就是演員都太醜了,太太太醜了.
ナナとハチ是主角當然問題還不大,美嘉真的算是很像ナナ,妝很濃.ハチ本就沒啥特色,只要有中等以上程度的可愛就ok啦.宮崎あおい勝任愉快.最讓人意想不到的是演岡崎真一的那個傢伙!!!!我的老天啊,他一出場馬上在座就響起一陣陣倒抽一口氣的聲音,接下來就是此起彼落的咒罵聲'哪裡像啊?'...'去死啦!'..."離美少年太遠了吧!".......唉...真是說到我的心坎裡了,這個傢伙離'美少年'三個字至少有13億光年遠!!
 
除非你是一個理想與現實分得很開,對於美的事物要求不大,對矢澤愛的崇拜如黃河一般滔滔不絕,幾個醜男女影響不了你對教祖大人的忠誠.否則...不要輕易的挑戰自己的容忍限度,你會發現你的極限很快就到囉!

I found this website while I was looking for Kissinger's speech yesterday.
http://www.historychannel.com/speeches/archive1.html
Where you can hear the voices of presdent J.F.K, Howard Hughes, and James A. Baker.
They are very important to American history, and the speeches have great influences even now.
And you can hear them read to you.

Henry Kissinger – Acceptance Speech*
As the Laureate was unable to be present on the occasion of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, December 10, 1973, the acceptance was read by Thomas R. Byrne, Ambassador of the United States to Norway
The Nobel Peace Prize is as much an award to a purpose as to a person. More than the achievement of peace, it symbolises the quest for peace. Though I deeply cherish this honour in a personal sense, I accept it on behalf of that quest and in the light of that grand purpose.
Our experience has taught us to regard peace as a delicate, ever-fleeting condition, its roots too shallow to bear the strain of social and political discontent. We tend to accept the lessons of that experience and work toward those solutions that at best relieve specific sources of strain, lest our neglect allows war to overtake peace.
To the realist, peace represents a stable arrangement of power; to the idealist, a goal so pre-eminent that it conceals the difficulty of finding the means to its achievement. But in this age of thermonuclear technology, neither view can assure man's preservation. Instead, peace, the ideal, must be practised. A sense of responsibility and accommodation must guide the behavior of all nations. Some common notion of justice can and must be found, for failure to do so will only bring more "just" wars.
In his Nobel acceptance speech, William Faulkner expressed his hope that "man will not merely endure, he will prevail".¹ We live today in a world so complex that even only to endure, man must prevail - over an accelerating technology that threatens to escape his control and over the habits of conflict that have obscured his peaceful nature.
Certain war has yielded to an uncertain peace in Vietnam. Where there was once only despair and dislocation, today there is hope, however frail. In the Middle East the resumption of full scale war haunts a fragile ceasefire. In Indo-china, the Middle East and elsewhere, lasting peace will not have been won until contending nations realise the futility of replacing political competition with armed conflict.
America's goal is the building of a structure of peace, a peace in which all nations have a stake and therefore to which all nations have a commitment. We are seeking a stable world, not as an end in itself but as a bridge to the realisation of man's noble aspirations of tranquility and community.
If peace, the ideal, is to be our common destiny, then peace, the experience, must be our common practice. For this to be so, the leaders of all nations must remember that their political decisions of war or peace are realised in the human suffering or well-being of their people.
As Alfred Nobel recognised, peace cannot be achieved by one man or one nation. It results from the efforts of men of broad vision and goodwill throughout the world. The accomplishments of individuals need not be remembered, for if lasting peace is to come it will be the accomplishment of all mankind.
With these thoughts, I extend to you my most sincere appreciation for this award.

相聲瓦舍-留聲雞
沒想到南投還是有好是會發生的。這次的星期六剛好文化局演藝廳有表演，更沒想到是瓦舍的表演。
那天很幸運喔，位子很好，是第二排，真的是有史以來聽相聲最前面的一次了。開心到不行，也沒有沒水準的觀眾，至少我的附近都沒有，可以很專心的聽完一場表演的感覺真的是太美妙囉。
 
先是宋少卿出場，介紹了一個新人，御天。我個人不喜歡他，總覺得他的調性和瓦舍不同，原來他是倪敏然的徒弟。這個叫御天的他有一種很不自然的語調，很假的京腔。得了吧，大家都知道你不會是北京人，別再強迫自己耍那什麼兒話韻啦！還說了一段稍短的貫口相聲，『A片』。可能是我比較老派，大概是我從小是聽魏龍豪，吳兆南兩位先生的相聲長大的，對於這樣子的題目，其實我心裡是有點生氣，總覺得有點不入流，雖說食色性也，但是我這老八股聽相聲還是喜歡一些有典故的，夾點政治的也都可以接受。什麼『A片』我可就敬謝不敏囉！
第一個段子是『綠帽子』，這一個呀，我已經聽過了但是之前幾次從沒聽到最後的結局，這次算是一償心願。
第二個段子，就是中場休息之後，『黃鶴樓』，嘿嘿，這一個段子可是大有來頭。這個也是吳.魏兩位先生多年前的老段子。對國劇多少有點認識的人都會覺得這個段子非常有趣。好像之前有改編成『張飛要出來了，別害怕』。原來宋少卿跟馮翊剛也有過和我一樣的時期呀！聽前輩的段子，連內容都還一知半解，就把劇本都背起來了。哈哈哈，記得國一的時候在陳老師的班上我和梁麗卿原本要表演的也是魏吳兩位先生的『樹沒葉兒』。

Yesterday, I went to Taichung with my friend, shopping, of course. It was hot, and we were waiting for the bue beside the road, but no bus stopped. That drove me crazy, so I called Taichung City Hall for the Transfer and Traffic department to

How can I discrabe my life here in Nanto but busy and boring. That is so true. I work 8 hours a day but I worry about it for another 4, so it will take me 12 hours to thing nothing but the work. Always something waits for me to do, always someone wants me to do better, always some place needs to go to.

 
 A cheeta and a boy, what kind of friendship is this? This movie can show you.

I own this place, and I am not really owning this place.
There are things I want to do with this place, 
but I don't have the ablity to actually do with this place.
It looks like I control this place;
however, I don't have any power over this place.
Truthfully, this plcae has the power over me.
This place actually manipulates me.
It manipulates my opinions in its favor.
 

Released in 1996
This is a real old film, but it will be a classic someday, maybe it already is now. Barbra Streisand, one of the most talented actresses in the world, who can sing beautifully, and act like the way that no one does. I first saw this film when I was in the HFU, freshman, in the video room of the library, and it was not a VCD or DVD, it's a LD. God knows how long it has been. I can't hardly remember how many times I have watched it, but I am sure that must more than four times. I remember that I watched it with the English subtitle at lease twice. It helped me to learn a lot of new words, very difficult ones, and barely useful ones, though.
