May 10 五月看看上一次写的文字，竟然已经过去了快半年了，时光如梭...
最近的心情就像是多变的天气总是在阳光和阴霾中转换，有一些不适应，从来就想有一种简单的生活，看来简单的想法往往需要更多的心思去实现...
很多计划总是在各种干扰下搁浅，让自己无奈...
振作一下，毕竟现在已经是充满阳光的五月了,我充满信心。
December 31 告别2006今天是2006年的最后一天了，岁月的脚步感觉是那样匆匆，不知不觉中，竟然又一年从身边悄悄溜走了...
昨天局里还开会让每个人都总结一下即将过去的这一年，再谈一下对未来一年的打算，我也谈了一些个人的感受，虽然都是从工作的角度，但是还是有一些感慨。到这个工作岗位也有一段时间了，自我感觉虽然有些进步，对业务的掌握也提高了很多，但是觉得还是要用心去学习，还要不断的自我提高，希望这新的一年我能够做一个自己的学习工作的规划，让自己的生活能够更加充实，学习就是竞争力。
除了工作，2006年对我个人生活来讲似乎也开始有一些眷顾了，就像今天迟来的飘雪，带给我一些惊喜，一些欢乐....
好了，过去的留给记忆，未来留给我自己吧。
再见，2006
2007，我充满希望...
December 18 圣诞电影推荐还有5天，圣诞节就要来临了。很希望能够看到一个白色的圣诞，也不知道老天能不能让我如愿...
anyway,推荐大家一部不算新但是我个人很喜欢的影片，也希望你们能够喜欢，感觉是非常适合在圣诞节这样的气氛中去看，去体会真爱！
本来想自己写点影评，只是这几天心绪不太平静，而这部电影给我的感触也很多，一时间竟觉得难以下笔了。所以，偷懒一下，自己不写了。从网上搜索了一篇我觉得写得很比较入味的影评，和大家分享。但愿不要侵犯人家的版权，嘿嘿....
导演/编剧：理查德·柯蒂斯Richard Curtis 主演：休·格兰特Hugh Grant 阿兰·瑞奇曼Alan Rickman 艾玛·汤普森Emma Thompson 连姆·尼森Liam Neeson 科林·费尔斯Colin Firth 罗文·阿特金森Rowan Atkinson 劳拉·琳尼Laura Linney 玛蒂·麦克卡森Martine McCutcheon 凯拉·奈特莉Keira Knightley 类型：爱情/喜剧 片长：128分钟 发行：环球影片公司Universal Pictures 上映日期：2003年11月7日 官方网站：http://www.loveactually.com/ 这个冬天，寒流朝夕便至。我正好在非常冷的下雪早晨，看到这个电影红色的礼盒包装海报：英国最著名的喜剧明星们，在圣诞闪烁的小亮灯泡或者是纷飞的雪珠中间，温暖无比的微笑。好比清冷的冬季天空飞过最火红的蝴蝶，我们说，那是人间最美丽的物事：爱。 我宁愿使用“爱”而不是“爱情”，是因为这是一个出乎我意料之外的电影。我曾经幻想她可能是情人节一颗甜得化不开的糖果，但其实只是一杯不加奶和糖的英式红茶，温和而不缠绵，浪漫但不痴情，仔细回味，有一丝不易察觉的苦味，正好是我喜欢的那种电影：让我们，浅淡地说说关于“爱”的故事，轻轻的，不要用力，握握“爱”的手。 你是否因为工作原因高高在上而无法与爱人分享内心的寂寞；你有多久没有去看妻子憔悴苍老的脸边那滴泪，而被女秘书轻巧的红色晚装所吸引；你是不是发现最爱的人说了谎而逃到异地疗伤；你从看到她的第一眼起就爱上那个女孩子清丽的容颜，却眼睁睁看她穿了白色嫁衣，作了你好友的新娘；你总是偷偷幻想那个和你一起加班到深夜的同事，能成为自己英俊的男友，然而你从不开口；你爱取笑那个很多年与你朝夕相处的事业伙伴，但每次回头，他总会出现在门边；你不能忘记最爱的那个亲人的离去，但你同时需要给留下来的这个亲人爱和力量。。。。。。在圣诞钟声敲响的那一刻，让我们象电影里面的那个过气老歌星说的，圣诞夜，和所爱的人在一起。 电影散发的温暖，在圣诞的冬夜里深入人心。使我意外而感动的，是电影温和而适度的情愫。也许是因为每一个故事并不能充分展开的原因，那些爱的错失、背叛、无奈、淡淡的遗憾，都象不声不响的冬日太阳，仅仅留下浅浅的投影，之后真实却琐碎的生活，仍然可以假装没有波澜的前进。这种普通人平淡的爱的履历，在银幕上缓缓流淌。虽然是节日爱情喜剧，仍然可以给我们看现实的真实样子，显得尤为难得。 所以我为艾玛·汤普森在圣诞前夜的眼泪心酸，但我知道她最终的妥协却是因为对于家庭和孩子的爱；我为劳拉·琳尼得不到结果的暗恋伤心，但她的圣诞夜，给了神经病院的哥哥，那是她在千头万绪的生活中选择的爱；我也喜欢看电影中那个暗恋的年轻男人在圣诞的夜里走到他爱的女孩门口，用录音机和纸板来表达他的爱意，然后彼此在街头拥抱，从此放下这心中想念，重新开始生活；我还爱看“达西先生” 科林·费尔斯在宁静的葡萄牙乡间，和女佣人之间欲诉还休的爱，那爱情在生活中慢慢显现时候的微妙细节，真是最动人的地方。电影叫做“爱实际上”，据说省略了后半句，其实应该是“爱实际上充满我们的周围”，我却宁愿认为那十个故事里的男女主角，都是因为找到了生活中爱的实际含义，这“爱实际上”才有了尘埃落地的意义。 英国喜剧第一小生休·格兰特饰演的英国首相明显有现任首相布莱尔的影子。唐宁街十号里发生的爱情故事，很多细节在恬淡的爱情之外有另一种风格，那是英式微酸的幽默，和好莱坞典型的喧闹热情不同，透出一点点自嘲。那个比利·鲍勃·松顿客串的美国总统，见到漂亮女秘书的态度，不知道是否隐射风流的克林顿，而在唐宁街十号英国人的演出是这个老牌帝国对于美国复杂心态的流露。这些在爱的边缘之外颇有意思的细节和幽默的情绪，使得《真爱至上》并没有成为甜得发腻的圣诞点心，而是节日夜里爱你的人放在桌上的那杯口味醇和的淡茶。 影片里的爱并非是节日期盼的美丽细洁的初雪，她是飘散在空气中的熟悉气息，是生活路边我们经常忽视的不知名的花朵。而看到那些我们所熟悉喜欢的明星，在剧情的转弯或者连接处出现在某个街角的咖啡店，他们在圣诞夜晚遇见，匆匆互相倒声郑重再见，你是她或者他的家人、朋友、爱人，总是会有莫名的暖流和熟稔的感觉充盈心头。尽管这种集合我们早在港式贺岁片中屡见不鲜，影片清新的爱情小品风格还是让我们对每个角色的出现恋恋不舍。那个做狭的首饰柜台售贺员罗文·阿特金森（憨豆先生），那个唱着“Christmas is around”（改编自《Four Weddings And A Funeral》主题歌Love Is Around的这首电影的主题曲，在圣诞五色的灯饰里异常优美）的“大嘴”老牌歌星，都让我们有由衷的快乐。 电影的开头和结尾，导演对准了飞机场里拥抱的普通人。这是我们每个人在人生无数大小旅程中经常见到的擦肩而过的人们，母亲和女儿，朋友，恋人，夫妻，同事，短暂的别离，经年的重聚。机场大厅里面高调的明亮光线，让爱渐渐横溢出整个银幕，电影里的麻烦、苦恼、甜蜜、心动着的男女，是不是一直都在我们的周围左近？ 爱心昨天在青之驴的介绍下，我参加了新奇军青岛军区组织的的爱心助学的一个活动。
其实很早以前我就有这样的想法，总想在自己力所能及的范围之内，去做一些对他人有所帮助，对社会有所裨益的事情。也许有些人会不以为然，或者觉得事难为，一个人的力量总是很有限的，而我们的周围又有这么多需要去帮助的人，但是我总是觉得做总比要比不做强一些，如果每个人都能够去多做一点好的事情，那么我认为我们现在的社会风气也不会这么差。
扯远了，呵呵。并不是想标榜一下自己，只是有感而发。
昨天的天气很冷，因为有几辆车加油耽误了一些时间，本来预定的出发时间，又不得不推后了将近半个小时。所以当我们出发的时候，我们就必须尽可能的赶时间，因为那些孩子也早已经在寒风中等待了。我的TT也在这次旅程中，跨越了它的第一个千里。其他的军友的车都已经是早已磨合好了的，所以一旦路况允许，他们就把速度拉到了100以上，而我的TT从来还没有上过100迈以上呢，但是为了能跟上整个车队，不给大家拖后腿，让在等待的小朋友能尽快地见到我们，我也顾不了那么多了，一路狂奔，最高到了120公里...TT的这次表现还是相当令我满意的，稳重又不失动力，赞一个！
经过40分钟的车程，我们到了我们的的目的地，学校的校长，所在镇的领导，以及接受我们捐助的小朋友和他们的家长，都早已在教室里面等候了。没有过多的客套，马上从车上卸下我们带的东西，有文具，毛毯，羽绒服，东西不多，感觉自己真的又一下变得渺小了...
那些小朋友看到我们还是有些拘束的，怯怯的目光，是一种见到陌生人时所流露出来的自然表现。我们把东西分别送给了这些小朋友，然后又简短的说了一些祝福的话，然后又和他们合影留念，就匆匆和他们道别了。
这是我第一次参加这样的活动，有一点新鲜和激动，感觉组织的也还不错。但是我突然间却在质疑我们这种帮助方式是不是最合适的呢？这些小朋友在接受我们的帮助的时候，会不会同时对他们的心理有一些不好的影响呢？毕竟接受这种帮助的同学，是那种家庭条件比较差的，我们的这种帮助会不会刺伤他们这些孩子的嫩嫩自尊呢？...也许吧，但是我希望不会的，真的希望这些孩子能够快快乐乐的成长，希望我们的好心没有办错事....
写到这里，又不由得让我想起了我的童年，一样是在农村长大，一样的不富裕，但是在我的记忆中却依然保留着那个时候在乡村田野，和一帮小屁孩游戏玩耍的画面，而且依旧鲜明，闪在灰灰的岁月的尘埃中....
总会有一些经历，有一些回忆，让你觉得难过，甚至会有一些阴影在心里面，但是只要我们对生命充满信心，对自己充满信心，对家人朋友充满信心，我相信，再大的困难，再多的苦难，也不会遮挡住我们对生活的笑脸。
December 13 鸡犬不宁昨天去看了鸡犬不宁。
这是一部让人看的时候能阵阵的笑出声来，但是笑过后会在心里面回味着一些辛酸和苦楚。一帮才华非凡的豫剧演员，在面临着演出市场萎缩，剧团就要解散的危急的时候，所经历的种种不同的人生体验，让人玩味。
一直不是太欣赏徐帆的表演，感觉演的痕迹过于明显，相比之下，第一次触电的小香玉所饰演大红更让我欣赏。特别是那场大红的丈夫马三为了能凑够她去法国签证的钱而冒险去赌斗鸡，把大红辛辛苦苦攒下的钱全部输光的时候，大红表现出的那种从心里面的绝望和愤怒，在茶楼追逐马三，演得真的不错，不落痕迹，看出来虽然小香玉没有演电影的经历，但是深厚的豫剧舞台的功底也还是起了很大的作用。
鸡犬不宁描写的是平民市井的生活，没有好莱坞或者国内大片所有那种场面的宏大，服饰道具的奢华，但是这种电影往往更能够得到观众的共鸣，因为绝大多数的我们过的还是这样平平常常的生活，体验着这种平平常常的酸甜苦辣。
所以，我们在看他们笑的时候，感觉也是在笑自己，再看他们的辛酸的时候，也才倍感心酸。没有大悲大喜的情节，却令我们生出几多唏嘘，感叹。
昨天也让我重新回忆起来以前在英国时的生活，虽然苦了一点，但是感觉还是很值得，也是我人生的一笔财富。
回来一年多了，那一段的时光感觉已经离我很遥远了，但是当我一旦提及的时候，发现其实它还是那么清楚的在我记忆深处。
November 23 生命在于运动最近挺忙乎的...
前些日子办了一张健身卡，决定做些运动，以免老妈整天的说我懒。其实我本来也是有这个打算的。因为我以前总是有一种懒懒的感觉，虽然没有做什么体力活，但是时不时还感觉到累。也许这就是人们常说的亚健康吧？再说，我发现很多以前的衣服，竟然很多都小了，看来我的确需要运动一下了...
生命在于运动。这话真的不假，在做了两个星期的运动后，明显的感觉到精神气要好多了，虽然在做运动的时候，感觉到挺累的，但是当坚持下来，大汗漓的冲个热水澡，整个身体就有种说不出的舒服，走出去的时候都觉得整个人好像轻松了好多。
很好，我喜欢这种感觉。
而且这两天我也很惊喜地发现，腰带终于可以向里紧一扣了。哈哈
坚持到底！ November 10 旧的不去，新的不来终于决定要换钱包了...
我现在用的这个钱包已经陪伴我整整十年的时间了，从1996年到2006年，陪伴了我生命中最灿烂的岁月20岁到30岁。
这个钱包忠实的跟随者我，替我保管着每一样我塞到它肚子里面的东西，没有丢失过一次...
其实很早以前我就想把这个钱包换掉了，可是每一次摸到它伤痕累累的皮子时，心里面竟然有种隐隐的不舍....
可是，毕竟，它已经老了，
毕竟，总有一天它不再能履行它的职责，
毕竟，这个世界上，没有什么能够做到永恒...
所以，我也不要再强求，再坚持了！
换了吧，旧的不去，新的不来。
October 24 天凉好个秋！今年的天气真的是有点奇怪，夏天好像一下子变得好漫长，像是一块被晒化了的奶糖，粘在手上，怎么甩也甩不掉...我是怕热的，所以在我的心里总是盼望着真正的秋天快一些到来，能让我感到一些秋天的凉爽，可是谁知道，就在这两天，气温骤然下降，让我这种期待秋天的心情一下却迎来寒冬的感觉...
人生何尝不是呢？期待的结局总不会如你所愿，曾经美满的打算，也会在突如其来的变故中变得不知所措。
最近这些日子，心情总是在一种阴霾的氛围中徘徊，一如现在突然变凉的天，冷冷的让我发抖...
其实，冬天里也会有阳光，不是吗？？？ September 22 糊涂人总是要犯糊涂的时候，而且往往总是在你不想或者不应该犯糊涂的时候才犯的，要不然好像也就不用称之为犯糊涂的。
又有些糊涂是好的，比如说懂也不懂的时候，莫名的糊涂会让你少很多心事，也许就是郑板桥老先生说得难得糊涂吧？而有些糊涂是犯不得的，在正确的时间，正确的地点，和正确的人，犯了了一个不正确的糊涂，这就是很让人痛心的了，也会让别人很难受的一件事...
昨天又犯糊涂了,老糊涂..
糊涂，还是少犯为好 September 12 光阴的故事看看上一次写字的时间，竟然过了一个月了....好快
这些日子，我一下子变得很忙了，工作中没完没了的客户，没完没了的琐碎，害得我像个陀螺一样不停的转...
还有我的那些狐朋狗友，一个接一个的来骚扰，陪吃，陪喝，陪聊，陪逛....不仅是把我的精力陪的差不多了，而且钱包里的钱也以令人难以接受的心痛的速度消失，哭啊...不过也好，反正他们早晚也得来，现在都来了以后也省我的心事了，这样想来，似乎还略感欣慰了....
这一个月，在我的身边，在我的朋友之间发生了很多事，感觉就像是演戏一样，悲欢离合，悲喜交错，这就是生活？
一个已经订婚，照了结婚照，装修了房子，发了请柬的朋友，突然之间又宣布取消了结婚计划，散了....
一个我初中的好朋友，结婚好几年，儿子都几岁了了，突然告诉我离婚了....
一个我初恋的爱人，也悄悄的告诉我她有了一个千金...
一个我大学的同舍的大哥，也告诉我开始了希望工程...
。。。。。。。。。。。
似乎还有一些事情，但是我又无从想起，先这样吧,光阴的故事每天都在发生，每个人的故事都不同....
August 11 忘记带钱包的后果是不是天气让我热昏了，昨天到市里拜访客户的时候，竟然没有带钱包，没有带钱包意味着我没有带名片，意味着除了我手上的几份材料以外，我一无所有..
昨天中午，我迷迷糊糊之中坐上了开往市区的车子，谈笑间，突然发现自己犯了一个难以置信的错误，没有带钱包，我当时脑袋一下子就大了，怎么会犯这样的错误呢？我真的想让车回头，但是又不能为了一个人耽误其他同事的事啊,我的汗当时就下来了！晕死...
整个一个下午，我都感到十分的别扭，和客户要撒谎解释没有带名片的原因，然后还要让和我一起同去的美女同事一次一次掏钱打车，买东西,我想我的脸色应该很难看的...特别是最后我一个人在餐厅门口，看着眼馋的食物，听着咕咕直叫的肚子，摸摸空空如也的口袋，使劲的咽了一下口水，心中骂道：‘谁让你不带钱呢？！“
百无聊赖之际，给我的损友打了一个电话，寻求一点安慰，那个家伙竟然在美容，啊呀呀，穷富差别太大了，我这样的穷人连饭都吃不上，像她这种富人要花大把的银子做美容....我十分怀念我的钱包！！！
August 01 Bridget Jones's Diary （琼斯单身日记）推荐一部我很喜欢的电影 BridgetJone'sDiary，希望你们也会喜欢啊。
Bridget Jones's Diary 1
'Do you remember Mark Darcy, darling? Malcolm and Elaine's son? He's one of those super-dooper top-notch lawyers. Divorced. Elaine says he works all the time and he's terribly lonely. I think he might be coming to Una's New Year's Day Turkey Curry Buffet, actually.'
I don't know why she didn't just come out with it and say, 'Darling, do shag Mark Darcy over the turkey curry, won't you? He's very rich.'
Sunday 1 January
9st 3 (but post-Christmas), alcohol units 14 (but effectively covers 2 days as 4 hours of party was on New Year's Day), cigarettes 22, calories 5424.
11.45 p.m. The rich, divorced-by-cruel wife Mark—quite tall—was standing with his back to the room, scrutinizing the contents of the Alconbury's bookshelves....It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party.
剧情介绍：
布里吉特是三十出头的大龄问题女，原来在出版社工作，年消费5277根香烟、836瓶酒，胖嘟嘟肥得挺可爱，她这人也没别的毛病了，就是一见帅哥浑身发抖，是一个标准的花痴兼恋爱狂。
她没什么野心和抱负，唯一的一点点愿望就是能减轻体重以及寻找到一份真正的爱情，可这些对她来说依然是那么遥不可及——琼斯的感情生活似乎永远是危机四伏，男朋友换了几个，总也找不到跟自己合拍的人。还好有两个死党莎泽和嘉德陪在琼斯身边，在她需要安慰时及时发表一通虚伪的女权主义演说并免费提供廉价的澳洲葡萄酒，多少让她觉得好过一点；只可惜，有些时候两位好友的帮助反倒使情况变得更糟糕。总而言之，一直以来，琼斯的生活过得枯燥无味、让人垂头丧气。
于是，在新年到来的那一天，琼斯决定尝试一种新的生活，让一切从头开始。首先，她要做的就是开始记日记，把生活的方方面面都记录下来，让自己感到变化的喜悦。渐渐地，琼斯的日记成了一本最刺激、最浪漫、最疯狂的书，里面的内容从平时工作、周围的好友到锻炼、饮食、男人、性……琼斯的生活也随着她的日记翻开了崭新的篇章，所有的东西都在翻天覆地地变化着，她开始意想不到地受到周围人们的注目，其中也包括两个和她发生感情的男人：一个是像小说人物一样完美的丹尼尔.克里弗 ；另一个是一身毛病但很真实的马克.达西 。这两个人的出现叫琼斯又欣喜又发愁，她思前想后也拿不准自己该挑哪一个。看来，新的生活中依然有不少麻烦陪伴着琼斯，不过她却乐在其中呢。
影评及幕后故事
也许你看到剧情介绍就已经猜到，《BJ单身日记》一片多半是一部根据小说改编的作品。的确，本片源自英国作家海伦.菲尔丁（Helen Fielding）的同名小说，该书曾一度风靡英国，是一部很畅销的佳作。
从幕后制作及拍摄等诸多方面看，本片都有着浓厚的英国情结，是一部地道的“英式电影”（为什么要加上引号呢？你往下看就明白了。）。首先，据作者菲尔德自己说，《BJ单身日记》中展开线索的手法和人物细节的描写很多都是从简.奥斯丁的作品中借鉴来的，因为菲尔德本人是奥斯丁的忠实崇拜者，这显然奠定了影片英国化的风格和基调。
其次是片中的演员。休.格兰特这个“英伦情人”就不用多说了，他那儒雅、深沉而不失幽默的绅士风度，简直给任何一部他参演的影片都贴上了鲜明的“英国制造”标签。而本片另外一位男主角科林.菲尔斯则是特别要提及的，他同休.格兰特一样，也是英国影坛数一数二的人物。前一段时间在英国BBC电视台的热门剧《傲慢与偏见》中，费尔斯扮演的男主角迷倒了一大片观众，其中也包括《BJ》一书的作者。菲尔丁直言不讳地说，她这本书中马克.达西这个人就是为费尔斯量身定做的，除了他本人以外，谁也演不好马克.达西。再次，本片的外景拍摄全部是在《诺丁山》的外景地伦敦诺丁山地区完成的，该地那英伦风情画似的景色不但为影片倍添英国味，也是该片一大卖点。
说到《诺丁山》，《BJ单身日记》一片还真跟它有颇几分相似之处，或者，说《BJ》是《诺》的同胞姐妹也不为过。因为前者的编剧，就是曾写过《诺丁山》及《憨豆先生》《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》等片剧本的里查德.科蒂斯。此外，本片同《诺丁山》一样，都采用了“美国美女+英国俊男≈英国风格”的程式，这也是前文为什么要在“英式电影”上加引号的原因。
女主角蕾妮.齐维格刚刚凭借《护士贝蒂》中的出色表演获得金球奖音乐喜剧类最佳女主角，而且是角逐奥斯卡最佳女主角的大热门之一。蕾妮是在击败了包括凯特.温斯莱特、海伦娜.伯哈姆;卡特在内的英国知名女星而获得这次演出机会的，据说原著作者菲尔丁对这个决定十分不满，并以退出剧组表示抗议，媒体们也为蕾妮这个德克萨斯美人是否能演出正儿八经的英国味而忧心忡忡。
面对如此大的压力，蕾妮当然不敢怠慢，为说得一口正宗的伦敦腔，她早早地来到伦敦接受发音训练，体验当地生活，而为在外形上接近角色，蕾妮不惜增肥10磅，大吃特吃花生酱三明治和披萨。与其他人的观点不同，和蕾妮演对手戏的休.格兰特对她的表现十分看好，他表示：“蕾妮很有喜剧细胞也很聪明，她的英国口音也掌握得不错，我相信我们会取得成功。 八月桂花香今天是进入八月份的第一天，天气象是开了锅的水，又热又潮，十分难受。特别是对于一个像我这样特别怕热的人来讲，就更加得难过了。
但是，无论如何，工作还是要做的，活动也是无法逃避的，生活并不会因为你讨厌什么而有所改变，你只能是想办法来适应生活，或许是快乐。或许是悲伤...
July 21 时间的定义时间会不会感到孤独？在你觉得它特别的难挨，一个人无聊的时候？或者，时间会不会觉得忙碌呢，在你被一些喜欢或不喜欢的事情所围绕的时候？
时间是没有感觉的，有感觉的是我们自己，但是我们很多的情感都是随着时间而成长起来的，象爱，象恨，或者这些感觉又随着时间消失...
如果让你来给“时间”这个词作个定义，你会怎么写呢?
我很想定义一下，总是发现很难表达正确。
July 17 做饭的感觉我是金牛座的，据说，金牛座的最大特点就是喜欢美食，说到底就是喜欢吃。在别人身上是不是这样我不知道，但是对于我来讲，很正确!
我喜欢美食，喜欢各种不同的尝试，在英国的时候，我在THE KING AND THAI 打工的直接后果就是，我无以伦比的喜欢上了泰餐，而且对于开一家泰餐馆充满了向往和憧憬...
如果只是喜欢吃的话，我觉得还是容易给人家留下一种嘴馋且懒的感觉，但是我还是不只是喜欢吃的，我还比较喜欢劳动，下厨！
以前在国内的时候，很少有机会到厨房里去尝试一下，所以我还一直以为自己对于做饭是一窍不通的，但是当我到了英国，每天面对老英们的junk food，呼天天不应，叫地地不灵的时候，我终于决定要在厨房里苦练内功，目的很简单，能够把到英国减掉的20斤体重给找回了...
从最简单的炒洋葱，做土豆开始，渐渐的会做鱼香肉丝，蚂蚁上树，可乐鸡翅，清蒸鱼，红烧牛肉，还有疙瘩汤，烙饼，直到中国菜的最传统代表-包饺子！老外的菜样虽然单调，但是我还是学了几样，以备不时之需，像做pipe,pizza,fish and chips,steak,我也可以应付自如... 总而言之，到我离开英国的时候，我可以毫不费力的做招待10个人左右的菜，在两个小时之内完成，中西合璧，嘿嘿，现在都想列个菜谱...
那个时候，和中外同学聚会也不少，每一次我都是做饭的主力，因为我对做饭并不反感，甚至还是有些喜欢，看到自己作出的东西，大家都喜欢吃，我心里也很有成就感的。
不记得什么时候看过这样的说法，说做饭是要讲究心情的，如果心情美丽的话，做出的饭菜才会好吃，如果心情不好，就算是同样的用心去做，但是在里面，总会有一种淡淡的苦涩...
在英国的日子，我学会了很多种做菜的方法，谁知道到现在我却丢掉了做菜时最重要的条件---美丽而快乐的心情....

Download a copy here.] It comes with more than a dozen prefab widgets, which run the gamut from practical (clocks, stock tickers, battery and Wi-Fi monitors) to whimsical (a "werewolf" widget that displays the phases of the moon). But the real widget wonderland is Pixoria's site, where users contribute their own creations for free. Here you'll find traffic and surf cams, train schedules, radio and RSS tuners, meters that display the locations of the cheapest gas in your area, an English-to-Swedish translator, a haiku generator, a Shakespearean Insult Kit, and the unblinking red eye of the HAL 9000 computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey, complete with sound bites. And all that is just for starters. To add a new widget to your desktop, right-click the Konfabulator icon in your system tray and select Open Widget. To download more items from the site, select Get More Widgets. To view all your widgets at once, select Konspose. It doesn't get much simpler. Stardock's DesktopX 3 ($15) features 23 widgets, including a language translator and an applet that can fetch the lyrics of virtually any song you might have a hankering to hear. The Standard ($25) and Professional ($70) versions come with tools that let you build your own widgets or overhaul your entire Windows desktop. Another place to find free stand-alone widgets, from clocks and calendars to abstract art generators, is at the Freeware Guide. 37 Web APIs: Make the Big Sites Work for You Amazon and Google are more than just Web sites--they're gigantic collections of useful data. The application programming interfaces (APIs) that access that data have enabled developers to build other amazing sites, and you can too if you're willing to hack a little code. Amazon.com has more than 80,000 developers who use its API to build online shopping malls, as well as sites like Live Plasma, where you can search on a musician and view a groovy map showing related artists. "We invite developers to be creative and innovative," says Amazon Web services evangelist Jeff Barr, "to take our data and do fun things with it." It's not just Amazon. Dreamworks animator Paul Rademacher has combined data from Google Maps and Craigslist to create an interactive map that lets you find housing in markets across the country. FlickrPaper employs Flickr's API to let users build desktop wallpaper from Flickr's shared photo collection. First Floor Software used a Yahoo API to create an image search engine that displays results as a slide show. The Send to Smug Mug plug-in enables users of Smugmug.com to send pics directly to the digital photography site by right-clicking an image inside Windows Explorer. And that's just a tiny sample of what's available. To take advantage of a site's API, you need some knowledge of common Web programming tools. Google's downloadable API kit contains a manual on how to use it, along with sample Java and .Net code. Flickr provides a wealth of APIs, as well as code samples. You'll find documentation and more for Amazon's APIs here; Yahoo's is here. Even if you're not a code jockey, you can add Google or Amazon to your site. Simply copy a dozen lines of HTML code to add a Google search box to your home page. Selling Amazon products on your site for up to a 10 percent commission is nearly as easy. You'll have to sign up for the Amazon Associates program and copy some code to your home page. Then just wait for the money to roll in. 38 Be Your Own Shock Jock You don't need a mellifluous voice or wild hair to become a cybermedia star. All you require are some podcasting tools. To start, you need audio software, such as Audacity or IPodcast Producer ($150), that records MP3 files. (You can also use Windows Sound Recorder to record .wav files, and then convert them to MP3s using a program like Musicmatch Jukebox.) Once you've recorded your file, you'll have to enclose it in an RSS feed, and upload it to your blog or Web site. But for my money, the easiest route to podcasting is Audioblog.com ($5 a month or $50 a year). Here you'll find everything you need in one easy bloglike interface. For example, to record a podcast, you just log in and click the Audio tab, and then Record New Audio Post. Click Allow to let the site access your microphone or camera, followed by Begin and then Record. When you're done, click Stop and enter a title and description for your recording; then click Save. On the next page, click Publish Audio, and then select the blog or RSS feed you want to publish it to. It's that simple. In fact, you don't even need a computer to begin your podcasting career. You can dial a number, record entries via phone, and then automatically post them to your blog. And if you want the world to see as well as hear you, Audioblog can do the same thing for video files captured via Webcam. Stardom is just a click away. 39 Make $$ From Your Site Just because you missed the dot-com boom doesn't mean the gravy train has passed you by completely. Here are a handful of ways you can make your Web site pay for itself and maybe bring in a little bit of extra cash as well. · Text ads: Programs like Google AdSense let you carry text ads relevant to your site's content. Every time a visitor views or clicks an ad, you'll earn a few pennies. · Affiliate programs: Many online merchants depend on networks of affiliate sites to move product. Affiliate aggregators like LinkShare or Commission Junction let you pick from hundreds of affiliate advertisers, some offering commissions as high as 40 percent. · Subscriptions: Is your Web content worth paying for? You could charge users for access. But be aware that subscription management services like VisionGate or MemberGate can cost from a few hundred to several thousand dollars a month, depending on the number of subscribers. · Self-publishing: Aaron Gleeman, editor in chief of the Hardball Times baseball site, used a more traditional method of generating income from his hobby. He published a couple of books, including The Hardball Times Baseball Annual, through Lulu Press. The royalties allow him to pay his writers a small stipend and to make a comfortable if not cushy living. 30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet
30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet
The Web is learning new tricks every day. These surprising sites and services will help you solve problems and save time--and one might even make you a star. So you think you have the Web all figured out? Well, think again. Did you know that you could charter a private jet online, star in your own reality TV show, or download songs as you drive your car? That's just the beginning. You can tell your boss a few unpleasant truths without revealing your identity and sniff out trends before your oh-so-hip friends get wind of them. Using the right sites, you can give Google a face-lift, promote your products or bloviate about your blog, publish a novel, write a business plan, scan your PC for spies, and get free tech help. You can even use the Web to uncover government secrets and to predict your own demise. (Those last two activities will be unrelated, we hope.) Best of all, most of these sites won't charge you a dime. 1 Trend Buzz, Reality TV, and more... Go Back in Time Wonder what Yahoo looked like during the dot-com boom? Dial up the Wayback Machine, and you can view cached copies of popular Web sites dating back to 1996. For quick nostalgia trips, add a Wayback bookmarklet to your Firefox or Opera toolbar or Internet Explorer favorites; clicking the button will call up the archive of the site you're viewing. 2 Give Google a Face-Lift Google offers more than a dozen services, but most are hidden. The GoogleX interface makes all of Google's goodies--such as Gmail, Froogle, Maps, and more--accessible via a nifty Mac OS X-like toolbar. Originally designed by a Google researcher, the toolbar disappeared shortly after being posted on the Google Labs site (most likely due to objections by Apple), but not before some plucky Netizens saved a copy for your use. 3 Catch the Early Buzz on Trends Want to find out what the bloggers are talking about before it hits the mainstream? Just sign up for PubSub and plug in your search terms. This site crawls more than 9 million blogs, public relations newswires, and SEC filings for relevant entries, and then e-mails you the results. You can also install a sidebar applet inside IE or Firefox and view the results interactively. 4 Back Up and Share Music and Videos Using Streamload, you can upload gigabytes of music and video files (as well as Word docs, Web pages, presentations, and more) and share them with any other Streamload user you choose (provided you have the legal right to use the material, of course). You or your friends can stream or download media files to any computer, so you can watch your home videos even when you are far from home. A free Streamload account comes with 10GB of storage and 100MB of downloads per month; accounts with unlimited storage and from 1GB to 60GB of downloads range from $5 to $40 per month. 5 Check Your Inbox From Anywhere You say your ISP doesn't offer a Web interface for your e-mail inbox? Don't fret. With Mail2Web you can access any POP3 or IMAP4 account, read and respond to messages, and attach up to 10MB of files from any Web-connected computer. And don't worry, your mail will still be there ready to download when you get back to the office. 6 Find Uncle Sam's Hidden Files Hear that big sucking sound? It's thousands of documents disappearing from government Web pages--some removed due to national security concerns, and others for political reasons. But at sites like the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy, The Memory Hole, and Cryptome, you can find some of these missing files, along with other declassified but hard-to-find documents. 7 Create Your Own Reality TV Show Why should Paris Hilton and Donald Trump get all the glory? On ManiaTV you can submit your own 5-minute video clip; if it's picked, the site will devote an hour of programming to a video of your life. You can also send in clips from your mobile phone, or program an hour-long "mixtape" of your favorite video clips for broadcast online. This self-styled MTV (without the TV) claims 1 million unique visitors a month. 8 Travel by Kayak That's "Kayak" as in Kayak.com--a cool metasearch site that works like an in-house travel agency. A Google-like home page searches for flights, hotels, and cars from more than 100 different travel sites. Unique slider bars let you filter flights by time or price range; you can view all available airlines, airports, and hotel chains, or winnow down to just your favorites. 9 Tell the Truth in Secret Maybe your boss has bad breath, or a close friend is in serious need of an ego trim. You can slip them a word in secret using Sharpmail's anonymous e-mailer. You can send your message in plain text or HTML, or you can send an SMS message to someone's cell phone. (But don't even think about sending abusive or spammish mail, or Sharpmail will pull your free account.) Who knows? Maybe you'll receive an anonymous message taking you to task for your passive-aggressive e-mail tendencies. 10 Blog at Light Speed
When you have something to say right away, let Bubbler be your mouthpiece. This convenient blogging tool resides on your desktop, enabling you to post entries, publish images, and share files with just a few mouse clicks--no wading through multiple log-on windows or dealing with kludgy posting tools. Bubbler will host a simple text blog with 1MB of storage for free; paid options that allow you more storage space range from 10MB ($5 a month) to 4GB ($100 a month). 11 Free Tech Help, Parenting Skills, and more... Get Tech Help for Free If Windows is having another bad hair day, but you're unwilling to spend $35 to be aggravated by Microsoft support, the Tech Support Guy can help. Post your question to the site's two dozen forums or search more than 300,000 threads to find an answer. It's not as fast as a call to tech support, but it can be more fruitful and less frustrating. 12 Hone Your Parenting Skills Are your children driving you up the wall? For $30 a month, About My Kids provides unlimited access to a personal parenting coach to answer your questions. You can talk with a coach via phone, e-mail, or live chat about your kids, whether they're toddlers or teens. So the next time your 15-year-old comes home with a scary piercing--or a scarier date--you'll know whom to call. 13 Increase Your Web Site's IQ You tackle some meaty topics on your Web site. Now how are you going to explain all those arcane terms for the newbies? Answers.com provides a way to add definitions for any term. For example, to define the acronym "XML," add the link www.answers.com/xml whenever "XML" appears on your page. Simple, easy, and free. 14 Become an E-Marketing Mogul For as little as $15 a month, Constant Contact makes it a snap to create HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters, sign up visitors to your Web site, manage subscriber lists, find out who reads what you're sending out, and identify your most successful marketing campaigns. But don't even consider using it to send spam--Constant Contact monitors outgoing messages and will terminate your account at the first sign that you're abusing the service. 15 Never Take Another Boring Business Trip Why take your dog-and-pony show on the road when you can hold it on the Web? At GoToMeeting you can display your slides, host live demos, or collaborate on documents while gabbing on the phone. GoToMeeting costs $50 a month for unlimited meetings of up to ten participants--a fraction of the cost of other online conferencing services, and a lot cheaper than a cross-country plane ticket. An even cheaper option is Microsoft's free (if ancient) NetMeeting client, which lets you collaborate with other NetMeeting users. It's not installed in XP by default, so you'll have to search for "netmeeting" in XP's Help and Support and run a wizard to install it. 16 Compare Cell Plans Are you tied up in knots trying to unravel dozens of mobile phone plans? WireFly can untangle the mess. Just type in your zip code to search by carrier, phone, or plan. You can then sort your options by price, minutes, and type of coverage, and compare the plans in a side-by-side view. Charts include J.D. Power ratings for customer care and service plans, as well as WireFly's own rating of each carrier's market coverage. 17 Follow Your Money If you've ever wondered where all your money goes, now you can find out. Where's George literally tracks your dollars using the serial numbers on each bill. Whoever receives your greenbacks will have to log on to the site for you to track the dough, so you might want to write the URL on your bucks before you fork them over. 18 Unmask Spoofed Web Sites That Web site may look just like your bank's, but is it really? Find out by downloading Corestreet's free Spoofstick applet. It displays the real domain of the site in your browser toolbar, regardless of what the address window says--an invaluable tool for fighting phishers. The toolbar is available for both IE 6.x and Firefox 1.x. 19 Disinfect Your PC Is your antivirus software on the fritz? Don't despair, just stop by Panda Software's site for a free system scan. You'll have to download an applet, surrender your e-mail address, and use Internet Explorer (the scanner requires ActiveX). Panda detects and disinfects most forms of malware, and will alert you to (but won't fix) spyware infestations. 20 Design Your Own Business Cards Forget about schlepping down to Kinko's to order business cards. At IPrint you just choose a card template and start filling in text. You can pick fonts, colors, graphics, and paper, preview your work, and place an order with a few clicks. A box of 250 is $18 and up; you can also get matching letterhead, envelopes, labels, coffee mugs, and more.
June 27 不要老是拿和国际接轨说事近几年来，各种媒体，各级政府，大小官员，突然对和国际接轨这句话相当感冒起来...
感觉我们真的是被世界遗忘了很长时间，一切都不符合国际游戏的规则了，于是乎，国际接轨，铺天盖地...出了成绩，当然是按照国际惯例，有了问题，就是制度没有和国际接轨，在某些专家，有识之士等一干人看来仿佛我们国家的问题，只有和国际接轨才能都得到解决，国际接轨成了一剂可以医治百病的灵丹妙药...
之所以今天想到这个问题，因为今天看到了我们伟大的央视在解释为什么取消新闻联播之前的播放国歌的节目时，又把国际惯例这个大旗抬了出来，气势汹汹，理直气壮...我不想对央视取消这个节目的根本动机乱加猜测，但是我觉得用国际惯例来说事，就让我觉得很恶心了...
不反对和国际接轨，但是我很反感那些动不动就拿着国际接轨，国际惯例来说事的行为，很多时候，这并不是真的想解决问题的思路，而演变成对自己腐败无能，对问题遮盖掩饰的遮羞布，一句国际接轨或国际惯例就能为自己解脱，“这事不能怪我，没有办法，要按国际惯例来办，要和国际接轨啊..."
于是我总结，三种伪接轨行为：
1不做分析，不做调查，满口讲着国际惯例，国际规则，却对什么规则，什么惯例一窍不通，表面第一，口头痛快，该骂！
2 巧妙利用国际接轨这个概念，断章取义的拿来蒙骗善良的人们，而且很显得很专业，很敬业，很无奈，假伪道学，可怕，该打！
3 投降主义者，对一切带"洋”字的概念充满崇拜，恨不得推翻我们现行的所有制度，按照他心目中的国际化来建设，，为了迎合洋人的需要，为了和“国际接轨”，不惜出卖国家利益，还要装出一副高深莫测的形状，“你们懂个屁，国外就是这么做的...."表面爱国，实在卖国,该杀！
我们要清醒，不要老是拿国际化来吓唬我们，不要老是拿国际惯例来说事...
努力奋斗，等到以后我们的规矩是国际惯例的那一天，让洋人们也来和我们接轨，这才是真是.
June 26 似水流年前些日子，看过台湾歌手刘若英写的一本书，给我留下了很好的印象。很喜欢刘若英的歌，记得第一次听她的歌还是在98年的时候吧，就是那首很有代表性的<为爱痴狂>，但是当时我并不知道是刘若英唱的，只是觉得歌词很好，朴实中去给人一种很深的意味，旋律也是平和中流露着难耐的激情，从此就开始喜欢她的歌，欣赏她的人...直到最近，看到她写的书，更是看出点点滴滴中透露着对生活的细心体验和热爱，在现在这种浮华气氛中，刘若英却一路沉稳的走着，不容易...
为什么会写一些关于刘若英的东西，因为最近我在搬家了...是不是有点搞不懂了？刘若英写过的一篇关于搬家的文章，很有同感。搬家的时候，总会找到一些落满灰尘，堆在墙角床底的记忆，找到的时候，难免总有些唏嘘感叹，但是在你就要决定它的去留的时候，在心里又是怎么样的挣扎啊，尽管你这么多年都未曾动过它，也不知道以后会不会对你的生活有什么意义，但是，毕竟，那是一片记忆，代表着一段心情，如果这一次丢到，也许，以后就再也不会捡起来了...
但是，你要做出选择，就像刘若英说自己那样，要心狠的像一个屠夫，像一个罪人去丢到一些东西。于是，初中时收集的贴画，小虎队的磁带，手抄的文摘，还有青春萌动时，写下的一些青涩的语言，都统统被送入了垃圾桶，say goodbye forever...
我是一个容易恋旧的人，对于回忆总是感觉很难说再见，但是毕竟时间是无情的，如滔滔的洪水，不会因为个人意志为转移而停留它的脚步，滚滚的向前，带走能够带走的一切，包括欢乐，包括痛苦，直至生命...
似水流年....
流年似水...
June 19 骑单车的男孩女孩最近一段时间，在清晨上班的路上，我渐渐注意到有一对年轻的恋人，男孩骑着一部半新不旧的单车，不紧不慢的蹬着车，而在他的身后，有一个留着齐耳短发的女孩子悠然荡着双腿，或双手环抱着男孩的腰，或把脸紧紧地靠在男孩子的背上，一脸幸福的感觉。他们似乎完全沉醉于自己的世界，对于路上的人潮攒动，车来车往，完全不在意，只是这样走着....
衷心的祝福这一对行走在路上的恋人，希望那个男孩子会继续骑着单车，载着爱情，一路走下去....
一路上有你，苦一点也愿意.... |
