Mraz In Town

我意外发现,歌手Jason Mraz就来我们这儿开演唱会了。喜出望外的我赶紧把消息传播给几个可能会有兴趣的朋友。嘻嘻,他/她们说很有兴趣也要去看。

Jason的I am Yours近来在收音机上频频播放,也是这段时间里面我最喜爱的歌手之一。在这首歌里,他吐字清脆,Wordy得可人(Cute),转呈起伏掌握的炉火纯青。



Life is wonderful: 比较深情的一首。




Nobody likes me: 这首歌让我回想起唱Starry Starry Night和American Pie的Don Mclean.



The Beauty In Ugly: a song wrote for the TV show Ugly Betty



Rainbow Connection: Jason用他自己风格来演绎 Rainbow Connection

无题

看小撒写了一篇关于昵称的文章,亦有同感。我给我以前
室友,一个很男子气的东北哥们,取昵称JuJu。大家觉得
反差很大,但就是觉得叫着好玩儿,于是乎室友现在
的官方昵称就是JuJu. 到现在都很自豪。还有一次更
奇,我一个好友的男友(现在的老公)鞍前马后像个佣人,
我说你家XX就好比是鲁宾逊漂流记里的星期五。她大吃
一惊,说你怎么知道我们家XX昵称叫星期五。我总结下
来冠名权就好象财产拥有权一样,能给人带来满足
的。所以又机会就多滥用一下这样的权利来满足自己
的私欲。

仔仔说弟弟早上越洋电话把他吵醒,原来是他阴历生日。
我说仔仔今年几岁了。仔仔若无其事地说三十X了。我说
怎么又老了?仔仔嘿嘿地笑着说,嘿嘿,还好有比比。仔仔的
泰然处之简直跟若干年前中年危机中“我怎么沦落到这么
大年纪还一个人”的仔仔判若两人。听仔仔这样幽幽地告白,
我觉得比被奉承了一番还要美。

新的一年开始了。

新年夜跟狐朋狗友们一起度过,先去吃Red Lobster,然后在家里K歌,唱到不行开始打牌。最后一把我把对家慷慨送上A,宣告一年的结束。“仔仔肯定睡着了”我想。只好发个短信。结果过了一阵子,仔仔居然Phone回来了。我们居然撑着惺忪的睡眼互相交换了new year's resolution才各自睡去。
第二天早上十点一过,我就订了下一次去仔仔那儿的机票,然后再殷切的把仔仔从睡梦中唤醒,卿卿我我一番,真幸福。

不知道为什么,狐朋狗友们本来也不是经常聚会,但是这个节日期间一聚再聚,是大家都怕了孤独,还是因为来年很多人要各奔前程?还好我不是很忙,所以我也乐得招待大家,跟大家一起度过一段愉悦的时光。

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?

突然间傻乐

11点半就觉得巨饿,就去买了一个大杯的咖啡和一个热的Subway。回来路上飘着零星小雪,我自己端着咖啡杯边走边想,不由地高兴地笑起来。我想到了仔仔每次都能分享我的进步和成就和由衷地为我感到高兴和自豪。仔仔跟我不一样的地方是我是完美主义者,看事情总喜欢持批判的态度,总是看不足之处。而仔仔却不是。所以在我自己认为自己做的不够好的时候,仔仔也持很positive的态度,鼓励和支持我。虽然我知道我不能生活在仔仔的恭维之词中,但一时之内还是很受用的,过了那一时我自己会给自己鼓劲的。

知道自己突然间傻乐是少有的好心情,不记下来就可惜了。所以就有了上面的文字。

Do not settle for civial unions

I saw this on NY Times "letter to the editor" section to see why exactly people are opposing gay marriage or supporting. I only find two letters opposing it.

To be frank, the argument forwarded by this letter can hardly stand a logical test. If tradition is what we should follow, how does the society make progresses? In tradition, blacks are slaves. This tradition has been long gone. Now another tradition is challenged. Those who stand lazily or blindly behind it should question themselves whether the tradition has to renew itself. About values, what about the Church value of love and tolerance and the societal value of respecting diversity?

Lastly, another letter suggested that "The solution to the same-sex marriage issue is to have the states issue civil unions to everyone, straight and gay, and to leave marriage to the churches." Since when marriage has become monopolized by Churches? Nonreligious people do not have the right to get married? I don't think so. I don't think any people, religious or non-religious, straight or gay, should settle for the term "civil unions."

“Gay marriage” is an oxymoron, plain and simple. One doesn’t have to be from the religious right to be offended by the concept. The tradition of marriage, the value of marriage to life and society, and a number of other factors not directly related to religion all stand against the idea of gay marriage.

Many of us who support the rights of partners in a civil union are against gay marriage and always will be.

Many of us who have been strong supporters of civil rights and the end of Jim Crow now find ourselves directly opposed to gay marriage. This issue really is different from other civil rights issues.

下雪了

明天就又可以跟仔仔见面了--以开会为名。现在外面已经下起了鹅毛大雪。周四的晚上最让人愉快,因为一个周末就要开始了。周末不仅意味着有自由的时间可以做一些事情,还意味着周五晚上痛痛快快地打上两个小时的羽毛球,再冲个澡,去中餐馆吃个饭,享受一下短暂的放纵。今天晚上要干点什么呢?
