还活着... 冒个泡. 。 Lupe Velez Lupe Velez，上个世纪三十年代著名的电影明星。进入四十年代，她的事业渐渐的开始下滑，人气一天不如一天。为了能够“永垂不朽”，她做了最后的决定。她认为如果不能因为自己出演的电影而被世人铭记，至少她可以让世人记住她惊世骇俗的死亡。她一切的愿望就是被世人铭记。然后，她安排了一个极度奢华浪漫的自杀：满屋的玫瑰，蜡烛，豪华的丝绸床单，雪白优雅的绸缎礼服，最流行头式，最艳丽的口红。接着，她服下了过量的的安眠药，躺在豪华的床上，被玫瑰和蜡烛围绕，想象着明天报纸头条在报道她死亡消息的时候，世人会为她如此浪漫迷人的死亡而永远铭记她。然而不幸的是她服下的安眠药和她最后一顿晚餐（enchiladas）引起了恶心的反胃与无止境的呕吐。她拖着孱弱的身体想到洗手间，却不幸的踩到了优雅的长裙。被绊倒的她一头栽进了马桶里。这最终构成了她生命的最后一幕。 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— 这是我最近听到的一个故事，希望能对那些面对人生突变而举足无措的朋友，或者正在为人生道路痛苦抉择的朋友有一点帮助。即使有时候人生并没有按照你安排计划的方向前进，这并不意味着世界末日，说不定人生会以一种让你出其不意的方式实现你的初衷。就像Lupe Velez终极的愿望就是被世人铭记，虽然她没能依预期的浪漫自杀被世人牢记，但她最终荒诞的结局又有几人可以忘记呢？ 老板被崇拜, 我也受益参加一个CSC会议, 我总是觉得意兴阑珊, talk没去听几个, 除了讨论很有趣, 还意外发现老板有个大粉丝.
在我做poster讲解的时候, 和这个大粉丝聊天, 他毫不掩饰对老板的仰慕. 几乎每句话里面都有赞美的词句, 说的连我都不好意思了. 正和他着聊天, 老板正巧路过, 可能也正是因为老板在旁的关系, 他对我project的形容从very good 升级到了great. 一阵对我们组黄河决堤似的赞美, 最后让老板也笑成了一朵花儿.
也可能因为这位大粉丝是poster评委之一的缘故(不明白具体是怎么运作评定的), 我意外的名利双收了一小把, 拿了一个poster presentation的奖. 最后晚宴之后, 他还跑过来, 满脸堆笑的和我握手说 Cong! I vote for you.
真是一个可爱的中年人(30左右). A nice motivational speech of Steve JobsSteven Jobs is the co-founder and CEO of Apple.
Dream & WishesDreams are nothing more than wishes, and wishes are just the dreams. U-pass 会不会通过呢？rt＝如题还是room temperature呢？

（排名部分先后） New Year's ResolutionDon't be lazy anymore. SensationSuddenly I feel hollow b/c of the sensation of friendship.
Crazy RantHow can I prove that I am alive or that I am living? Coldblood Me.The dad of my friend is getting sicker, and my friend is getting increasingly anxious. I feel sorry for him. What a son! His father should be proud of him. Back on me, I am so cold-blooded that I did not feel a thing when my father had a car accident. ( Shame on me!) When it comes to emotion, it is hard to say. But hey, that is me, a weirdo not a saint. Chemistry Highlights 2005For 2005, we've identified 24 developments.

One Episode of D.H.Good guys wear white hat and bad guys wear black. This is how children distinguish between good and evil. But they soon learn that bad guys don't always look so bad. In fact, sometimes they even seem down right friendly. That is , until you get to know them a little bit better.
It's not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. Sinners can surprise you. And the same tis true for saints. Why do we try to define people as simply good or simply evil? Because no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart, and that anyone is capable of anything.
These are the lines of 0209 episode of Desperate Housewives, which briefly summerized the hallmark, or to say "the main idea". I have a strong feeling that this might be the best-organized episode in season 2 of D.H.. It was not tedious, but filled with information and emotion and drawing audiences' attention to the original theme. Especially, the actresses performed like real humans, not affected, foolish and simple-minded cartoon characters, except Susan, the one who always had an unacceptable personality and was incredibly capricious. Back to the theme, I think the most attractive hallmark of the comedy is the closure to real life. Most characters in recent comedies seems too extreme, that is, the good ones perform perfectly from the beginning to the very end, like Grissom in CSI. But you know, everyone has a little dirty laundry. It is not a dichotomized world, and it takes all our lives to figure out what is good and what is evil... Toothache Is Killing Me!I finally felt the pain being lonely. I am sorry that I did not behave more considerate when you hurt your leg.
"Half" of My ThesisAfter ten days of working, I have got my thesis "half" done. If the authentication of my well-prepared material get passed this week, it is gonna be the really half of my thesis. Oh,yeah!
Yet my senior has been so busy with his paper to be published in J.A.C.S., and therefore I've got little guidance. Anyway, I finally made it through and learned a lot. The next week have another project -- translation of selected papers, though in the eyes of the senior it should be done this week.
B.T.W., I wanna purchase a handy vacuum to help me out of the cleaning stuff, which is time-consuming and tiring.
Forgotten Birthday.Oh, Jesus. I was so into myself recently that I did not think of Noah's birthday, the day I kept in my mind for 6 years. Now she refused to reply my message, maybe she was just too busy and under too much pressure of applying. I can do nothing of assistance for her. I hate myself being so helpless.
What should I do, keeping "annoying" her, or leaving her alone for a few days? God, please show me the answer. Publications & ThesisBeing with the senior for several days, I found myself thinking different about the publication and the thesis. In the past, I paid too much attention, or to say, narrowly focused on the Impact Factor of the publications and the quantity of one's publications, neglecting the things that really matter, that is, the research.
Certain days ago, the senior in my group told me that his work was gonna be published in J.A.C.S., but I felt not so admiring as I did in the past. Then when he told me that the work about my thesis wasn't gonna cost much time and if I continued to work this way, the thesis was gonna be finished in this year, I felt unsatisfied. I want more and something that can really improve me, even though he told me the work may be published in Langmuir, one fine publication of ACS. I was shocked by myself. After some quiet introspection, I am so proud to say that I am changed already. It happened secretly but in the good way. Maybe it came from the unhappy ordeal in OC laboratory; maybe it resulted from me getting tired and nauseous of people "inappropriately" using their publications; maybe it caused by the depression that I did even have one. Whatever. Now I was in different level, which I always appreciated. I was so into my research now, hoping it's gonna last ( I am pretty sure this time). DiscriminationLately, lots of stuff concerning on discrimination came to my eyes, the discrimination towards Chinese students and the discrimination of epidemic, AIDS. How come? Why can't people be kind to each other? Is it that hard to share the common points while reserving the differences?
First,there comes the discrimination of Chinese students in Yale. Obviously, Han, the Chinese graduate student, standing out to fight was quite brave and impressive. And it was much nicer to know our Chinese people stick together to fight for their rights. On the other side, if the discrimination gets to be known widely, or the accusation wins, Yale has to face the far reaching implications and its negative effect on Yale to get students from other countries. And don't forget that research and teaching of US universities is being done by these migrant scholars, but Yale, despite its rhetoric of globalization and reputation, has yet to recognize their rights and grievances without any discrimination.
And the other pattern of discrimination, shown in a great movie "philadelphia", is as impressive. The root cause of the dismissal of Andrew, one hotshot promising lawer, was his AIDS and sex orientation, not the ostensible incompetence, which was actually a set-up. I strongly recommended this movie, and I think it will make every viewer examine his bigotry and reassess his feelings about homophobic tendencies, and at least we could know how to react faced with discrimination.
I haven't encountered any discrimination in my life, at least I haven't known it was a pattern of discrimination. From the two issues, we could learn to be strong and brave in front of such terrible mistreat. One LyricJust a little love
Do not love exhaustively, love partially;
Others' is as deep as the ocean, my love is shallow;
Do not love exhaustively, love partially;
Others' is as lasting as the sky, my love is short;
Do not love exhaustively, love partially;
Others ogle each other, I just peek once;
It is a Chinese Lyric written by Ao Li and sung by Qixian Wu, and I just translated it poorly. I liked it very much since I cannot ever love in a partial, shallow, or short way, which I thought to be one correct way to maintain a long-tern relationship. Am I right? I can't ever prove it. It really matters? Who cares! I'm by it just like my attitude towards the Communism, theoretically true while lacking the truths.
