Running Scared -- Highly Recommended
昨天去了北面的一个电影院看电影.这个要比我上次去的那个大很多.放映厅多而且大.我不得不坐到10几排,才看得比较舒服.看了两个片子:Final Destination 3和Running Scared. F片和前两部Final Destination相比,没有什么改进.不用看,也都知道是怎么回事情.只是,片中人物的死法更加血腥.我这里就不做任何描述了.总的来说,还可以.相比之下,我觉得R片就好看很多.人物塑造要丰满很多.从头至尾,保持了紧凑的节奏,有很多意想不到.粗俗的语言,演员精彩的表演,特别喜欢Oleg,最终的大团圆结局也都是我喜欢的.要是你喜欢看动作片,我强烈推荐Running Scared. 记得当黑帮老大炸死坏警察时模仿Mastercard的一句台词:a nike bag: sixty dollars; a nokia cell phone: 100 dollars; an ounce of semtex: 2000 dollars; killing a dirty cop: fucking priceless.
在电影之前,还看了MI3的片花.05/05/2006,期待无比.

鄙视一把
本来这事和我没有任何关系，只是最近比较不爽，拿来鄙视一下。今天，从UT 的email list收到这么一封email.
Hi all,
My mom is coming to visit next week. She is looking for a live-in nanny job in Austin area. She is young, cooks very good (better than me), does things very fast and cleanly. She also had 1 year nanny experience in America. If you are looking for one, please contact me.
Thanks

靠，老娘还在国内就给她找非法打工机会了。父母出来一次也不容易，不好好陪着，还要想办法赚钱。养了２０多年，还送出国读书，屁 没学到，就知道个钱。况且，据我所知，发信的还是已经工作的Ph.D. 奶奶的，太看不惯了。下回就要:

郁闷
最近整理了一下以前的research, 搞了篇paper准备投local的一个conference. 知道公司里麻烦,要经过层层审批.所以早早的在两个星期前就送给manager了.可是到了今天deadline,却还是投不出去.Legal Office说没有收到我的paper.只好自己当福尔摩斯,找问题出在哪里.Manager是当天就把我的request forward给了director.在和director前前后后发了4,5封email后得知他也当天就批了.然后是VP.这下就象断了线的风筝似 的,没有了消息.看来问题是出在这个环节上.VP啊,我也只能独自郁闷.又写了email给conference的chair,请求extension, 也没有动静.看来非得逼老夫使杀手锏.下午5pm,我会submit一个corrupt的文件,然后等待conference要求我重新submit.估 计这样能拖到下周二.其实这也是没有办法的办法.虽然明明知道肯定会被批准的,但是就是要等.哎,大大的打击了我的发文热情.郁闷啊郁闷.

周末
最近一直忙忙碌碌昏昏沉沉,也有没有什么心情写blog.昨天一个人去看了电影.还是去年的时候,公司里有卖折扣电影票,我就买了一些.可是,一转眼三个多月过去了,居然也没去看过.再不去,票子就过期了.于是,下定决心,昨天下午,驱车20迈去了Cinemark.本来是想看星期五上映的Firewall的.看了trailer,觉得不错,老福特宝刀不老.但是,阴险的敌人不允许用折扣票看新片.靠,气杀老夫,真是便宜没好货.最后还是得看,不然就浪费了,更是让敌人得逞了.结果看了Chronicals of Narnia和Syriana.虽说都是去年的老片,但总算没有辜负我,都还不错,看的人也不少.前者主要是孩子们,后者则以老大妈居多.看来美国大妈们的政治使命感都不弱,和国内居委会大妈们有得一拼.不过,我还是觉得两部片子都过多的渲染了所谓的中心思想,搞得象中学语文教材似的.看来还是帅哥美女的打打闹闹更适合我.C片过分Christian的说教,什么给Narnia带来Christmas啦,Aslan舍身取义又复活啦,比教会还教会.而S片赤裸裸的反对布什政府一切以美国利益为首的中东政策,整个片子太过沉重压抑.George Clooney在片中的表演更获得Oscar的最佳男配角的提名,让我着实惊讶了一番. 一个周末又快过去了,准备做饭.今天晚餐,霉干菜烧肉,滑炒猫鱼片,炒青菜.
