晚上去了the Kong，但太晚了，只吃到一碗面。于是第二天中午抓了酒友又跑过去一趟，要蝎子碗。老板娘看我们求酒如渴，觉得蛮好玩，用港式普通话向我们公然挑衅。

“要不要再来一碗？有能力的话可以再来一碗？”

有没有能力？。。。。于是就真又来了一碗。

问题是酒友把上一碗剩下的倒入了新的一碗里。冰块数不胜数。像冬天喝冰水一样。搞地喉咙疼，不得不睡了一天。

长篇电视剧和小说的一个通病是虎头蛇尾。

不幸又遇到。

前几篇感觉北京贫嘴新鲜、好玩。中间学到了很多东西，对人生有所领悟。后半部则变了，让我在肉麻和恶心中度过。人物的真实感像流星一样一闪而去。要是编剧觉得80后的人真实的是这样，太可悲了。陆涛是个混蛋，是个不负责任的混蛋。向南是个懦弱、愚昧、长不大的小市民。北京贫嘴用在别人身上是幽默，用在向南身上让我抓狂。华子，华子，被哥们抢了未婚妻还跑出去和人家拥抱的华子，还不忘友谊万岁的华子——我要问：你丫是男人吗？

前两天期望值太高了。看完十分失落。

记得前年我看了剪刀石头布，一个台湾偶像剧，看的也很投入。虽然女主角长的并非沉鱼落雁，不过她的气质、声音和好强完全让我不能自拔。但看完了，这场剧对我的影响也结束了。整个故事像一个神话，里面的恋情不是日常生活中的恋情。

奋斗看了一半了。故事也是一个神话。真实生活中没有几个人能在大学刚毕业突然碰上一个家财万贯的老爸，也没有几个学生能靠着小小业务员的工资在北京又买房子又买车。

但奋斗与偶像剧不同。

奋斗更像是一个寓言。借神话说人的语言。

几个主角代表了几种典型的性格 。陆涛打了为了其他人的旗号不停的奋斗，却不仔细听其他人的想法。说他的奋斗是自私和野心的体现，是对的。女朋友夏琳对男生为他买东买西没兴趣，她所喜欢的是自己的成功，她所喜欢的是能为男朋友买东买西的付出。在这两人身上不用细想就可以看到熟悉人的影子。

徐总告诉陆涛不要为女人改变，不要失去自我，这样才能掌握自己的恋情和人生。没人告诉夏琳这句话。她为陆涛暂时失去了自我。但她并不情愿，最终为了找回自己离开了他。似乎为爱情改变确实不容易。

哓芸和向南的问题截然相反。向南懒的奋斗，安于现状。晓芸小事上很精明，第一次恋爱，脑子一热，嫁错了人。不过即使这样，向南偶尔脑子开窍时买盆最贵的花，足以让她满意一阵子。精明的小女人啊，其实是太糊涂了。

可爱可怜的米莱：活着就得折腾折腾。

还有一句忘了谁说的：你是真天真还是假天真？

曾经看到其他人物的问题都不以为然，自信自己头脑清醒、非常无害。大点了才知道人们碰到的问题大种类不多；得人生经验的捷径是要从别人那里学。看电视方能共鸣。

Here is proof that Shanghai has the world’s best metro.

The right side of one’s brain is supposed to be the creative, artistic part.  An opportunity to develop mine came about when I could no longer tolerate my own handwriting.  It is only natural to consider killing two birds with one stone:  learn handwriting with the left hand.

After a couple of practice sessions, I am still unable to draw straight lines or circular circles consistently, but I’ve seen some improvement.  Sore muscles in the left arm indicates that physically my body is adjusting to the left-handed heavy lifting.  Training will take time, but multi-tasking alleviates the time problem.  For example, last night, while watching a DVD, I drew a full page of the alphabet “a.”

I am admittedly amused by my determination to succeed at left-handed writing, that rather random goal.  I am using my left hand as much as possible in daily life—the only exception being operating the mouse, which online websites say even left-handed people use with right hands.  I have ordered three boxes of ruled paper for training grade school students handwriting skills.  A little too late?  Maybe.  But better later than never.

Every simple thing can be made complex. Take t-shirts for example. A cursory look at CustomInk.com reveals a lot of options.

The most basic distinction is between unisex jerseys and girly jerseys. According to Lara:

the standards are like your regular guy tshirt right
and even the small sizes are kinda big for girls
plus girls like to wear shirts that are a little tighter fitting

Fair enough. Now what about sleeve lengths? Besides the short sleeve and the long sleeve, there are raglans with 3/4 sleeves, also called baseball sleeves.

The most subtle differences are the materials. Tees can be 100% cotton. Cotton can have weights commonly ranging from 4.3 oz (lightweight common for American Apparel) to 6.1 oz (heavyweight, beefy). Furthermore, cotton can be preshrunken, combed, and ringspun. That particular combination is just tee talk for the best kind.

Blank tees are surprisingly inexpensive. Entry-level brands can be had for two to three dollars. At the higher end, getting a custom-printed American Apparel tee is no more expensive than buying a comparable stock tee retail.

Thin, asian girls can only wear size small, even if they are really a little taller. A corrolory is that every Asian girl at the law school wears the same size.
