独居的好处就是自由，除了要定时上班练yoga以外，其余的事情想什么时候做就什么时候做。但是独居也有坏处，就是你得时刻留点神儿，不然就会做些莫名其妙的事。
比如，某天我明明记得在trade joe's买了四个李子，红扑扑，圆滚滚的四个。可是回家收拾好了蔬菜水果就没再见过它们。百思不得其解。半个月后，我清理冰箱冷藏室的肉肉们，赫然看到四个胖子坐在三文鱼肉上，还嘻嘻哈哈呢，都冻硬了。
昨天早晨吃了最后的一点cheerio, 晚上没来得及买，于是睡前煮了四个鸡蛋做今天的早餐。我订了时的。我的新炉子非常好，定时17分钟正好能煮出我喜欢的火候的蛋。17分钟够我洗澡，刷牙，熨衣服，查天气预报，再看一分钟希腊神话。然后炉子的定时器招呼我去关火了。我开开心心关了火就睡觉去了。留着一锅水加四个蛋在那里守夜。早晨，我捞出一个蛋，在冰箱上敲了一下，流水。水的密度明显不对，拿近一看，蛋是生的。第二个还是那样。
我严肃的思考了各种可能。一，可能我其实把火开到了最小而不是最大。二，半夜里邻居家的老鼠们来做客，饿了，吃了我四个煮好的鸡蛋，又还了四个没煮的在锅里。
I have been waiting for Pluto's switch for more than four months. And still waiting.
It is the notorious switch problem for lots of PT Cruisers after 40,000 milage. At the beginning, I was able to make the switch to left turn after shut off Pluto to keep the fog light off. I kept doing that for two months. Two incidents happened during that time. The first one was bearable. I forgot to switch to left turn and went shopping in Natick Mall for two hours and ran out Pluto's electric. I called Miranda Gong for AAA's number. AAA technician helped to jump start Pluto. And I drove Pluto for one hour to make the battery safe.
The second was bad and happened just after I flied back from SF. I went to office directly from airport and worked till 3PM. I tried to relax and watched some TV shows until 7PM. Just before I glided into my bed, the security guard called saying Pluto's lights were on. He thought I forgot to turn off the lights. I went to Pluto. But this time I could not make the lights off no matter what direction I put the switch. So I called AAA again to ask help. A technician came. A kind of arrogant one since he did not listen to me. He jumped start Pluto and then gonna to leave. Of course, I stopped him. Pluto did not need any jump start! He was so start or energetic that was not able to close his eyes! Finally the guy understood the situation. He tried to take out the fuse. But he could not find the correct one. Then I told him try to disconnect the cable from the bulbs. He found it 10 minutes later. OK, anyway, both Pluto and I were able to close eyes and go to sleep.
Then after waiting for another two months, I decided to give another try. I called my dealer. The part is still nationwide back order. But he said he no somewhere might have and gave me the phone number. I called. They do have! But they asked for around $270 for a regularly $74 part. They said they spent a lot to get those precious parts. I don't want to take it. Well, the part guy is pretty nice. And tell me the fuse number to disable the fog lights. It is fuse number 8!
Fuse number eight!
Cingular gave me a 781 number which is so like a contractor's business phone number. I have been a 617 girl for 9 years. I really can't imagine the feeling to tell people my area code is 781. Bad, bad, bad! I will talk to Cingular upon getting my new phone. I am a loyal customer wanting to stick to 617!
吃得太饱了，坐在shuttle上迷迷糊糊。车行在brookline ave, 慢悠悠的。车上只有我和另外一个高大的business man。看得出又是IS那些西装革履的manager。manager和driver聊天。我继续迷糊，突然听到dreamweaver, 然后html, 再然后upload/download files都出来了。于是仔细听，发现manager居然在请教driver web development的问题。颇惊奇。
下了车，我和manager一起进了电梯。他问，你去三楼。我说，对。他说，太好了，我忘了badge了。我按捺不住我的好奇心，问，那个driver懂web development？他说，是啊。我说，how come? 他说，这个driver很amazing, 他懂好多呢，做driver开shuttle, 做网页，还有个小farm, 每周末卖水果蔬菜。
我一下子觉着今天真美好，不仅天气好，还见识到一个奇人。
这两天刘德华的诚信问题受到了质疑。
其实每个人都有选择自己生活方式的自由，刘偶像藏着掖着也无可厚非。他老人家确实够高标，二十多年零绯闻也不是所有人都能做到。但总让我觉着有点不对劲，这人莫非成仙了？
还是喜欢小谢大热天出来给守在家门口等着小芝生产爆新闻的狗仔送冷饮。那一句“回去吧，今天不生，天太热”透着好多温馨和调皮，让人忍俊。
