Vodka hour.
Margarita for me. Very sweet.
W taught us all she knew about belly dancing. Beautiful hands. Drop, drop, kick. Figure 8.
We are about to keep this as a tradition.

海这边的问候
一早看到有六个新的Gmail，心想，那么多老友想着我哪？一看，都是我不认识的人，还都是私人信件。从四封信件的内容我琢磨出真正的收件人十二天前刚刚有了小宝宝。友人们来问候，还有人要给买摄像机。好不热闹。
真正的收件人是谁呢？知道朋友们祝福她，她一定会很高兴。
四封信件有两封发自香港（hk)。我时不时收到发自香港的私人信件，有度假的照片，有毕业的论文，各种各样。搜索所有有hk的邮件，发现去年夏天有个小姑娘把给她表姐的信寄给了我。我告诉她寄错了，她还回了一封，提到她表姐的邮址前有email这些字母。会不会就是同一个人呢？
不管怎么样，祝福这个跟我有一样名字拼法的人。

Un Monde Parfait (A Perfect World)
A happy song to start a new week.
Artist: Très Bien feat. Ilona Mitrecey
Title: Un Monde Parfait
Ce matin, j'imagine un dessin sans nuage
Avec quelques couleurs, comme vient mon pinceau
Du bleu, du rouge, je me sens sage comme une image
Avec quelques maisons et quelques animaux
Ce matin, j'imagine un pays sans nuage
Où tous les perroquets ne vivent plus en cage
Des jaunes, des verts, des blancs, je mets ce qui me plait
Car c'est comme ca que j'imagine un monde parfait
Un oiseau, un enfant, une chèvre
Le bleu du ciel, un beau sourire du bout des lèvres
Un crocodile, une vache, du soleil
Et ce soir, je m'endors au pays des merveilles
Un oiseau, un crayon, une chèvre
Le bleu du ciel, un peu de sucre, un peu de sel
Un crocodile, quelques fleurs, une abeille
Et ce soir, je m'endors au pays des merveilles
Ce matin, j'imagine un dessin sans étoile
De toutes les couleurs, un dessin sans coutour
Quand ca m'plait plus, j'efface tout et je recommence
Avec d'autres maisons et d'autres animaux
Ce matin, j'imagine un pays sans nuage
Où tous les perroquets ne vivent plus en cage
Des jaunes, des verts, des blancs, je fais ce qui me plait
Car c'est comme ca que j'imagine un monde parfait
Un oiseau, un enfant, une chèvre
Le bleu du ciel, un beau sourire du bout des lèvres
Un crocodile, une vache, du soleil
Et ce soir, je m'endors au pays des merveilles
Un oiseau, un crayon, une chèvre
Le bleu du ciel, un peu de sucre, un peu de sel
Un crocodile, quelques fleurs, une abeille
Et ce soir, je m'endors au pays des merveilles
Un oiseau, un enfant, une chèvre
Le bleu du ciel, un beau sourire du bout des lèvres
Un crocodile, une vache, du soleil
Et ce soir, je m'endors au pays des merveilles
Un oiseau, un crayon, une chèvre
Le bleu du ciel, un peu de sucre, un peu de sel
Un crocodile, quelques fleurs, une abeille
Et ce soir, je m'endors au pays des merveilles
______________________________________
This morning, I imagine a drawing without cloud
With some colors, as my brush comes
Blue, red, I feel wise like an image
With some houses and some animals
This morning, I imagine a country without cloud
Where all the parrots do not live any more out of cage
Yellows, greens, white, I put what plait me
Because it is as Ca which I imagine a perfect world
A bird, a child, a goat
The blue of the sky, a beautiful smile of the end of the lips
A crocodile, a cow, sun
And this evening, I fall asleep with the country of the wonders
A bird, a pencil, a goat
The blue of the sky, a little sugar, a little salt
A crocodile, some flowers, a bee
And this evening, I fall asleep with the country of the wonders
This morning, I imagine a drawing without star
Of all the colors, a drawing without coutour
When Ca plait me more, I erase all and I start again
With other houses and other animals
This morning, I imagine a country without cloud
Where all the parrots do not live any more out of cage
Yellows, greens, white, I make what plait me
Because it is as Ca which I imagine a perfect world
A bird, a child, a goat
The blue of the sky, a beautiful smile of the end of the lips
A crocodile, a cow, sun
And this evening, I fall asleep with the country of the wonders
A bird, a pencil, a goat
The blue of the sky, a little sugar, a little salt
A crocodile, some flowers, a bee
And this evening, I fall asleep with the country of the wonders
A bird, a child, a goat
The blue of the sky, a beautiful smile of the end of the lips
A crocodile, a cow, sun
And this evening, I fall asleep with the country of the wonders
A bird, a pencil, a goat
The blue of the sky, a little sugar, a little salt
A crocodile, some flowers, a bee
And this evening, I fall asleep with the country of the wonders

姐弟恋
原来并不是什么新事物。司汤达的《红与黑》里年轻聪明的主人公，十八九岁的貌美的家庭教师Julien，就成功地引诱了年长他十岁的貌美多金又寂寞的市长夫人。这部发表与1830年的小说是第一部Modern novel，不说别的，就凭这姐弟婚外恋就已然意识够大胆了。
最近猛补世界名著，凑巧这两部都是法国文学，又都和婚外恋有关，怎么回事？
让我郁闷的是，昨天有人从中国百度“和大女人偷情”居然找到了我这里。我，就这么无聊吗？
百度，麻烦你不要联我，好不好？

March to Spring
It used to be "spring forward, fall back". This year the Daylight Savings Time begins early. Specifically it started at 2am this morning. Thus now it should be called "March to Spring". This energy saving bill was coauthored by the congressman of my district, Ed Markey. Congressman Markey does good things.
However, 3 weeks ahead of its usual time is bound to cause confusions. For example, my laptop still needs an update. It also confused my friend Q.
Q called me last night saying that we should have lunch together today, at 12pm. So I reminded her, "the new time 12pm, right? Time changes tomorrow." Q said, "yes!" "OK, I hope I can get up for it", I said.
So my smart atomic alarm clock went off at 8:30am this morning and I got up some 70 minutes later, and checked emails, surfed the web, had breakfast, sharpened my cleaver (for making a second batch of spicy Sichuan sausages -- 毫无疑问，我做的麻辣香肠，是世界上第二好吃的）, and did some cleaning. It's almost 11:30am so I should get going. I thought I should give Q a call.
"Are you on your way now?"
"What? It's too early. It's just 9:30am. We are about to have some porridge."
"OMG! You turned the clock back! It's in fact 11:30am now!"
Q thought that she gained an hour today. Wishful thinking :-)

Boston's Top 100
Classical Pieces of All Times
Counting down this weekend on radio.
I know about 82 of them. Still way to go :)
Here are the top 20:
1. Symphony #9 (Beethoven)
2. Four Seasons (Vivaldi)
3. Symphony #5 (Beethoven)
4. Canon in D (Pachelbel)
5. Symphony #9, New World Symphony (Dvorak)
6. Symphony #6 (Beethoven)
7. Adagio for Strings (Barber)
8. Piano Concerto #2 (Rachmaninoff)
9. Brandenburg Concertos (Bach)
10. Appalachian Spring ( Copeland)
11. Clair de Lune (Debussy)
12. Orchestral Suite #1 (Bach)*
13. Moldau (Smetana)
14. Symphony #7 (Beethoven)
15. Eine Kleine Nacht Musik (Mozart)
16. Symphony #1 (Brahms)
17. Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin)
18. Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (Rachmaninoff)
19. Water Music (Handel)
20. Meditation from Thais (Massenet)
Not a big fan of Handel, but I will crack Water Music to clear the top 20.
Just heard No. 90 Pomp & Circumstance by Elgar, a very fun piece. My favorite piece by him is Salut d'amour Op.12, which did not make to the 100. 喜欢这种柔情的作品好像感觉我的口味比较小资，当然我更欣赏贝多芬的英雄气概。他的英雄交响曲怎么才排第39呢？

My Influence
I successfully recruited another Canon DSLR user: V has just placed an order for a Canon 400D (in preparing for a trip to Machu Picchu).
Now I am really jealous, for multiple reasons.
