宅男

我不得不承认,我是宅男,是大门不出、二门不迈的那种。回想起来,其实我光荣加入宅男大军已有几年,把大好青春年华都浪费了。

但又想想,做宅男也是要有条件的嘛,几月后我再想当宅男也不一定成了。

2.4k versus marathon

A college friend of mine just emailed a GPS tracking of his recent marathon. It was a great feat, and I am very impressed by it. I don’t think our 2.4km times were that much different 10 years ago, but now look at us. He is running marathons and I am at least 2 minutes slower in 2.4k than before. Plus my fragile left knee will likely act up in anything more than 2.4k.

Maybe I need fancier shoes? :P

Bye bye chapters of my life

Two years ago I threw out all my JC notes I saved since 1993.  I felt like I had said good bye to my bitter-sweet pre-college memories.

Tonight I threw out all my grad school notes I saved since 2000.  I felt like I parted ways with my bitter-sweet college days.

During the house cleaning I came across some old photos.  I sure looked young back then.

抠门

最近发现自己好像有点太抠门了,而且不是所谓的“新抠门主义”,就是纯粹的“旧吝啬思想”。十五年前我好像不是这样的。当年还混学位、没收入的我可是常常拍胸脯乱哄“饮料算我的”或“I got ice kachang”的呀。当年的铁血青年为何失血退化成铁公鸡?是生活压力太大了还是蒜皮起价了?哎,归根结底又是社会的错。

温室中的草

唉,最近是不是没受到多少挫折,一点生活上的小事都能令我沮丧几天,感觉有点没用。当然我写这段并不是多要挫折或不顺心的事,只是想自我批评、点醒一下。

完了,老了

完了,老了,我正在看今年的春节联欢晚会录像,发现我现在竟然不介意观看“假音”歌唱和传统戏剧,这在五年前可是不可思议的呀。如今不但不介意,而且能选择性地欣赏。

为什么呢?是不是因为太多类似American Idol的节目老放烂人唱的烂歌,而让我更能懂得分辨好坏?

鬼祟的五星

《新上海滩》的主题曲目前我百听不厌,虽遭某某人严重鄙视为老土,但还就是喜欢。我也听过广东话的旧版,但总觉得普通话版的更含有韵味、气势、与苍伤。

土?五星照赏!只是欣赏的时候得偷偷摸摸地。

Landscape and macro photography

Landscape

I have always wanted to take great landscape photos. Unfortunately pretty much all my landscape photos suck. I see one obstacle between me and landscape awesomeness: my sleeping schedule. Every photography book out there says the best times to take landscape pictures are at dawn and dusk. Well, I go to sleep right before dawn, and I am normally at home at dusk. :(

Macro

Optimus PrimeMost of the pictures I took with my new Nikon D80 are macro shots. The Nikkor 18-200 VR lens is great for close-ups, except when it doesn’t get close enough to the photo subjects. What I need is a dedicated macro lens, but they are so darn expensive!

为什么茫然

朋友问我为什么茫然,我想应该是“人过三十 一茫然”吧。

茫然

茫…然…啊…
