这两天忙坏了

去加州圣地亚哥开了个会。虽然有带我的大相机但没有机会用，只是用手机拍了这么几张。

San Diego Lo Jolla Cove



一个水边的Park，就在路边，非常美丽。 从地理位置上看应该是Glorietta bay park。 在左上角还能看到那座奇特的拐弯的大桥。

Cop

忘了贴这一张。我可是冒着生命危险拍下这个正在给我们开Warning的帅哥小警察。他眼睛非常尖，我们从他车旁边开过，他就看到我们开的车的inspection过期了。

Austinites

Austin是音乐之都也以Keep Austin Weird引以为豪。每年春假之际，全国各地的音乐人，记者，和爱好者都会聚集到这个小城度过为期一个多星期的SXSW （south by south west)音乐节。今年的音乐节更是增加了Interactive media这个蒸蒸日上的新媒体形式。虽然音乐节的门票贵的买不起，但是并不难感受到它给这个城市带来的活力。无论是餐馆、酒吧，还是河边都是人群。周末还是40F下的寒风料峭，周一周二已经回归80度了。利用去机场前的半个小时游玩了一下Downtown 附近的Zilker Park，用手机拍下几张：

这个女孩从一座"no jump from here"的桥上跳到河里。应该有七八米高吧。

巴黎先生

巴黎的甜点不错，巴黎的eyecandy也是可人。在美国乡村待多了，到了巴黎只有感叹帅哥真多的份儿了。巴黎的男士们穿着不想美国一样保守，他们会毫不犹豫地选择显露身材的衣服，戴stylish的眼镜，穿trendy的鞋子（在我的老土眼光里）。尽管有时候不得不挤地铁或者排队买票，有了他们，拥挤等待也变得不那么枯燥了。可惜胆子不大，仅仅偷拍若干次，成功率也不是很高。看有没有喜欢的？

Out There!

Our gay vice mayor addressed attendents

Listening to the speech at History Center

Listening to the Mayor

June 28th welcomes the first pride festival in our town. So i decided to pull out my camera and get a sneak peak of what is going on there, and hopefully unnoticed. Well, first i was in the wrong place. There is another cultural festival at downtown. Fortunately, the LGBT people set up a table at the cultural festival. As I started scanning the material on their table, the guy told me that the pride festival is two blocks down, like he knew what i was looking for. On the way there, i prayed that i won't be seen by any acquaintance and mentally practiced what if i am seen. "i can pretend i am there just for photography." "if i am confronted, i will just politely end the conversation without addressing the question."

Luckily, there were no serious accidents except two episodes: first, i met on the way there, an acquaintance who was accompanied by her husband. we said hello to each other without stopping. I hope she did not realize that i was heading to the pride festival (she was not). Second, i met a fellow/friend who i have suspected lesbian on site. I can tell she looked at me astonished, and probably thinking, "is he ...?". But she is much senior than me and has a record of being friendly to the young. So i am not so afraid of coming out to her, especially that she was there herself with her partner, who i thought was a women (but a second sight seemed to suggest otherwise... i cannot really be sure).

Well... the festival was really what a festival should be. I can tell people were very happy, like in a festival. I am also very thrilled to see a blend of age, gender, race, and body types.

While the festival showed a liberal side of the town. I also realized the general intolerance of homosexuality. I searched the news on the pride festival. The only two comments I saw there, "since when did being a pervert become something to be proud of?" "I'm glad I wasn't in Lexington today with my children. Their often public display of affection is disgusting." Needless to say, these moral judgments are refutable. As most fear are caused by lack of knowledge, so is homophobia. Those who have LGBT among their friends/relatives are much more comfortable with homosexuality; this is exactly why such pride events should be there -- it lets people know who we are in real life.

assignments and winnings.

Zz has asked me to write about attraction (mmm.... secrets to a man's heart). I have decided also to write about maturity and youthfulness, inspired by a conversation with G.

Zz finally made a visit to his blog, and pleasantly surprised by a message left by an adored blogger (the owner of Absolut Barillius).

I have taken a bit of excuse from work and went to cemetery again with friends. Here are some of my winnings.

春天到了

不用多说，看片片吧。

Badminton Boys

跟indiana大学打羽毛球比赛的时候，有幸偷拍了对方几枚小帅的照片。照片中的红衣男生是对方的第一双打。最帅的穿A&F的第二单打居然没好意思拍，后悔死了。也学这些男孩们平时并不出色，但如果他们穿上漂亮的运动短装，再打一首漂亮的球，就让人刮目相看了。还有另外一个大学的老外，挺阳刚的，但被崽崽认为胡子拉碴地看上去不大干净。也拉出来充数吧。
