Finals week = book reading week
不是那些教科書哦
是, 用我外婆的說法, "野書"
這週真是procrastinate的好時間啊 =)
List:
1. 三城記小說繫列 (上海, 臺北, 香港) - 推薦, 特別是臺北篇 (想知道為什么嚜?)
2. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- 沒有one hunder years of solitude好看
- 人名太多+ 故事節奏不夠緊湊, 但是定義了他對愛情的看法
3. 上海美眉 - 如果對上海女生沒有興趣的, 請跳過本書.
說真的, 上海人也的確沒有什么interesting的point,特別是女生
4. 看世紀末向你走來 - 龍應臺 (為什么我們永遠是在同一時間癡迷同一個作傢呢)
5. A life of Flannery O'Connor (讀她的傳記絕對想不到她會寫出如此一針見血的文章)
- 美國南方人+虛誠的天主教徒 = 充斥冷血暴力的短篇(?)
以上至少在一周內看完了.
我到底在復習什么功課啊?!

Hunger (2008)

This is a review on the movie I saw...1 hr ago.
Hunger (2008 version)
I haven't really watched a movie for a long time....
its more like..I will put a movie on and do whatever along the side
But this movie hooked me.
The photography is sadly gorgeous, and every little details are symbolic
The movie is brutal, uncompromising, and most of all
sobering.
Morality, death, political ideal...all are questioned and presented for the viewers to interpret
Special point: it has a 15 minutes single-shot scene, the longest, I believe, in cinema history.
Not your Friday night movie, but a must, eventually.
Best News of the Day
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
If I love forever21, then I looooooooooooooooooooove topshop
All I want to do now is drive to NYC and get my hands on everything in that store
google topshop and you will understand why I love them so much

5 fashion things I can't stand (and their alternatives)
Sure, I don't live in NYC, but I am far away from Cali where all you need are shorts + flip flops
Going to college in Boston, the quintessential "college town",
I expected to see young & hip fashion (not too stuck up but well put together)
And I go to Wellesley = 2500 talented women = some fashionistas right?
Nope.
Sure, there are some well dressed ppl on campus, but they r mostly from Europe
(aka the girl in my econometrics class w/ the cutest red ankle boots hv delicious russian accent)
Below are fashion items I saw most often in the States & HATE HATE them.
Pls do not wear them or I am afraid we can't be friends anymore
(lol..jk..but i will hv to force u to go shopping with me)
1. Crocs vs. Marc Jacobs

They make me speechless. Yes, they are comfortable, but fashion always rank above comfort.
Besides, there are better alternatives that are equally comfy, below
Perfect for summer on the beach! Adorable <3>
2. Ugg 2. Ugg vs. Tokidoki

They just don’t look good on anyone. And they are not even useful, not rain/snow proof Just get those rainboots with popping colors instead.
Aren’t these so much better Looks familiar? Yep they collaborated with LeSportsac to create one of its best collection ever.
3. Longchamp vs. Longchamp (haha)

Everyone has this bag. EVERYONE. What’s so great about it? The materials aren’t great and it looks so….boring.

So I was doing some research to find an alternative bag that will be great for school. Originally I was thinking: YSL downtown. Then I thought that its not fair because these two brands are not in the same range. So I went to check out longchamp website, and found this in their new collection. Very artsy + “don’t take me too seriously” vibe Just to show that the same brand can produce completely different fashion, if one is just willing to search for it.
4. Abercrombie vs. Forever21

I do not understand their ads. Is it because that their stuff is so unpresentable that they rely on showing nude ppl? I thought this is a clothing brand? Hello?? Overpriced + horrible quality

Hey look! Fully closed people, for a change. I love forever 21. The qualities aren’t great, but price is unbeatable. And because they copy a lot of top designer’s designs (bad for Lagerfeld, good for me), their stuff is always on top of the trends & updated daily I can always find amazing things in forever21 and not break my bank.

幻城
一位意大利年轻作曲家,有一次请罗西尼听他演奏新作。
罗西尼在听的时候,一连好几次把自己的帽子脱下戴上,戴上又脱下。
年轻作曲家演奏结束后,问他为什么这样脱帽戴帽的。
罗西尼回答说:“我有个习惯,每逢遇到老相识,总要脱帽招呼一下。”
讀郭敬明的《幻城》,讓我有同樣的感覺。
耶,古龍先生,好久不見哦
哈,你不是寫那個那個最近很火的穿越小説的作者?
哇,90后,非主流哦
可惜,故事情節沒有古龍的那麽扣人心弦
可惜,寫作風格比穿越小説還差(拜托,至少別人寫的還蠻搞笑的)
一句話總結:無病呻吟

- Sudden Fever (如果可以因為發燒而不用考試的話偶不介意哦)
- Lethargy (春眠不覺曉啊)
- Loss of Apetite (除了Chocolate外)
- Excessive Coughing (花粉過敏?!)
- Sore Throat (這個真的有點也。。)
- Diarrhea (no)
- Vomiting (no)

Sad...我好像沒有swine flu耶...明天繼續要mid-term >-<
不過大傢請註意哦,聽說Harvard/Mit傳出癥狀了
(為什么會有人要白癡到那這個做實驗呢?!)
偶不去Cambridge了~
