靜物攝影家：Olivia Parker (美國)

Olivia Parker 是一位美國籍的女性攝影家。即便在現代，女攝影師的人數還是明顯比男性少很多。這大概是父系社會中普遍的現象，也代表這些有成就的女性事實上需要更多魄力、機運與才能，才能浮出檯面。

她必須有自己獨創的一面：

事在人求 ( Michel Vinaver, 1970-1971)

此劇本共有30個片段，由四個人從頭到尾不間斷的對話而成立--- 一位是面試主管，其他三位則同屬一個家庭（父、母、女）。內容充斥著中年人找工作面試、家庭生活與少女墮胎等議題的零星對談。

Something to get by: TED Ideas worth spreading

很無聊或腦袋空空的時候，除了玩facebook、看pps、打打嘴砲call朋友之外，
又出現了一個偶爾可以振奮人心的工具：TED Ideas worth spreading！

黑人與狗的爭鬥 (戈爾德思 Koltès, 1979)

在我讀的中文譯本裡頭，首先讓人感興趣的是它的場景與人物的安排。場景是：

Die Arabische Nacht 阿拉伯之夜 (Roland Schimmelpfennig, 1998)

This is a rather interesting poster of the performance---  a dripping apartment. People and the events took in place are perhaps in the liquid state--- flowing between floors and shifting shapes accordingly.

Over Nothing At All (Nathalie Sarraute)

Over Nothing at All is a play Sarraute wrote in the 80s.

It's about 2 characters (M1 and M2--- not exactly from the Star Trek) having a conversation about something they can't really point their index fingers on.

 R2-D2 and C-3PO

In most cases people probably would refer such trivial things as "nothing"--- or as M2 put it: words we didn't "have". But in close relationships, this "nothing" can be deadly. Like you would never know what can put her/him off.

Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) /film script by Duras/

Marguerite Duras wrote the film script: Hiroshima Mon Amour in 1959.

Note 5: better body means better survival rate (PX90)

Note 4: how to survive the earthquake

Movie study: Zombieland (2009)

Hey guys! Here is a quick survival guide. But it only works when you are dealing with slow moving zombies. Oops!

Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

Many of you have already seen this, but it's still one of my favorite boosting up material:

Randy Pausch: Really achieving your childhood dreams

Note 2: The secret to a happy life.

The way leading to a happy or happier life is actually no secret. You have seen people doing it and talking about it a lot already. The question is: are you ready for the change?

zero point. motiv.

I am very weak, both physically and mentally. Actually I hardly stand a chance if things turn bad. I will just die in the first 5 minutes in the most embarassing and harsh way.

Note 1: Remember, no one will help.

 

The world is going to end anyway. 

電影: 宗教的荒謬 Religulous (2008)

Trust your God

It seems to me the key in religion is about trust.

Everywhere is as good as here.

I have that kind of small town syndrome--- "I hate this place. Let me get out of this shit hole!"

Everyday is a new day.

It's hard to get out of the bed and think positively because the "past" experiences make us predict the day is just another bad hang-over.

教育的癢處: 美國人有比台灣人聰明嗎?

MIT裡面有很多東方人.

一說到什麼MIT、哈佛、耶魯....等等美國金字大招牌，台灣學子普遍就先舉手投降，未戰先敗。自己摸摸鼻子宣告甘敗下風。

除了我們種族文化不像美國那麼多元，可以不停混血融合再進化外......若也除去國力的問題........美國人真的有比台灣人聰明嗎？
