Angelina Jolie and sperm bank

一个朋友认为sperm bank是个下下之选。donor们的信息太简略,皮肤颜色,眼睛颜色,头发颜色仅此而已。不会因此判断这是个帅哥还是个丑男。除了相貌,还有许多其他隐形的后患,比如遗传缺陷,比如性格。这些完全不能了解也没有预期,全都是未来的surprise。



周六买菜check out的时候瞥见旁边杂志上赫然写着,Angelina Jolie confirmed two more babies are on the way。哈,我突然意识到为什么Jolie要把B陂得弄到手了。她分明就是把B同学当成一sperm bank啊。看得见摸得着的一个帅哥,应该也不傻,不错。

Welcome to the Earth

有一次有人问我,土星用英文怎么说;我答,earth。



又有一次,我顶着大风,冒着被漫天乌云的口水淹没的危险去box office买票。我为自己不畏天气恶劣努力提高古典音乐修养的精神而深深自得,于是昂首阔步完全没注意Miss Big帮我开了门。正在我用十足的耐心折磨box office小姐找全我要的所有concert票的时候,我的手机响了。Caller ID让我更加亢奋,我分明感到我乘着自己的猫尾巴腾云驾雾起来。但是接起电话听到的第一句话却让我魔法消失,立时摔在地上。这句话是,白痴啊,你向左看。



我不出意料的扭头向右,没人,再向后,还是没人。我只好让我的大脑袋逆时针回转二百七十度,眼前,猫二一脸鄙夷的看着我。



我继续折磨box office的小姐。猫二买了票,坐在一旁的长椅上。表情回复了以往惯有的具有欺骗性的乖乖猫神情。



你好慢,猫二说,同时乖乖猫稍稍隐去。然后我们逆风向西飞去。



没想到你都听两场了,猫二又说。我仔细确认了一下,乖乖猫还在。于是乎,我那个自我崇拜的小灵魂油然升起,在大风里神气活现的飘忽着。

独居生活

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。

物是以稀为贵的

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!

Oops! Let's fight

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!

牛人处处有

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。

八卦

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。
