二手～

I’ve just come back from the Green Apple, San Francisco’s well-known bookstore. They handle both new and used books. I bought 5 used books on theater arts. I can’t wait to read them and impress my teacher. As I was walking back, I thought that though I do not “like” theater (the subject), but I have respect for its comprehensive content, which basically includes all forms of expression. The Green Apple had limited amounts of criticism and production of theater, but they stored plenty playwrights. I consciously seized the ones that contained acting theory and tips on settings. 5 used books, $48~~~ Joy~~
There was also Lao She’s Rickshaw Boy for sale, $2.
A guy was buying bundles of books by their weight. My mom saw the book Amelia recommended me yesterday—The Secret Life of Bees—and asked the man how much it was. He just said, “Take it”, and we were still wondering about the price. When we asked the cashier, she told us casually that the man already bought it so he gave it to us for free. There were also bins at the doors, giving books out for free. I took A Russian History Outline, my mom took an Amy Tan book.



Albert Camus’ transcripted notebook was a thrill. His actual notes, seemingly unedited, were in English. I loved his comments. But the book was $27.95.
I gaped at the Beatles recorder’s book on Beatles called Here There and Everywhere, thinking of buying it for Dufake. There was also Chuck’s new book, Snuff. But that was a new book, so I didn't buy it.
I have refrained myself from the temptations of the cheap books--some I know I will never read again once I bring them back home. The price of the book sometimes have a mental negative effect to reading it.

All in all, I loved that bookstore.



We set off for the museum after an abundant breakfast. On the way, there was a rose garden with many different kinds of roses. We lingered around for a bit. There were all kinds of people settling around the congenial atmosphere. I was mostly occupied on taking pictures rather than enjoying the flowers themselves. I hid my camera once I saw another Asian girl taking pictures…
Then, we went into the museum, which had an exhibition of Chihuly. More pictures later.
After that was the bookstore. then I chatted with Dufake. I miss him more than ever with his voice alluring me.

Today my mom and I drove to Claremont. We struggled up at six thirty and ate scrambled eggs. We took their white car and drove the highway for 1 hour and 10 minutes, just as long as the map estimated. Cali drivers are indeed crazier than average Americans… I looked at every driver at my right. Usually the Latino truck drivers always notice my attention and glance back with curiosity. There were lots of trucks in the morning but not in the afternoon. There was abundant advertisement on cars and billboards. I also saw a helicopter crossing the sky, intersecting with my view plane.

We took some time finding Claremont McKenna once we got to Claremont. But we made it. The info session was lead by a milk chocolate easy-going man. He had SAT vocab all over the place of his speech. His body shape was the apotheosis of 牙签穿枣…… Their teaching style is similar to the IB teaching style. The Claremont College system was adapted from the Cambridge system. I like it. And it’s the richest college that’s younger than 100 years old, it meets all financial needs. That’s because 1/8 of the alumnus are among the highest post of any organizations. Sounds pretty creepy. The speech man had a humorous of emphasis on the free-food opportunities provided by CMC. There were 4 talks every week made by famous, prominent people provided for CMC students .Such as Rushdie, Bono and Bill Clinton (don’t recognize the other ones they mentioned). I NEED TO GO TO CMC!!!!!!!!!!!

The speech man talked for 1 hour with high speed and no difficulty. The speed could be considered as filter that: if u can’t understand then don’t come…
He also made an interesting comment, “Don’t show me what you want to be. Because when your school counselors tell you to be ‘unique’, you’re all gonna be ‘unique’ the exact same way!”

We then took a tour around the school, with another few kids and parents. The tour guide was an low-fi Asian kid. I think rarely are prep-college kids enthusiastic enough to come on their own… Parents’ pressure is integral.

Not only are the courses taken by the different college students (among the five), the campus is shared between the colleges as well. It takes a ten minute walk from one end to the other. The trees are very Californian, with their easy-to-come-off bark and height.

Pitzer has desert plants around the campus, because those plants fits with the environment given, so the college wouldn’t need unnecessary water sprinkled. They also had a community garden that had vegetables planted by the students. Anybody can take fruits from the garden and anybody can help out. They also add their combustion for the success of husbandry. The principle is to take what they needed. Just like free printing in Claremont McKenna, as long as you don’t abuse the trust, everyone would be benefited. Also something interesting about Pitzer is that, since founded in the 60s, it comprises a hippie school spirit. Though the tour guide said its way more modern than what it was in the 20th century (“I wouldn’t tie myself to the tree if it was gonna be cut down.”), signs of hippieness are obvious on the campus, such as the wall paintings.

学生娱乐的地方……


There were also many signs on the dorms saying “I support queer rights.” There was only one other student on the Pitzer tour with his mom. He was another react-to-nothing person. His Tshirt message was DEEP, “Being a mime means never having to say ‘I’m sorry’.”
我觉得，英文有些东西翻译过来为什么就没意思了，因为中文有些字眼就扼杀了笑话本身的笑点。『作为一名哑剧表演者意味着你永远不必道歉』。可能“小丑”比较好。

The tour guide showed us his dorm, which had a Dutch door (really cool!!). He had a Killers poster inside as well, hanging contiguously with his abstract paintings. I did not pay much attention to this tour since I was much more inclined to get into CMC. Yes, I know, I’m so reliant on prejudice. Whatever…

“四季”

Between the two college tours, we went to have lunch at a sandwich bar. We shared a steak bun. I liked their raspberry lemonade.

I also saw a mini cooper parked behind us.

My mom filled gas at Shell before we headed back.
Then we went to the hideous Mandarin Buffet….><

Then I wrote this diary…

Jeanie:
Ahh yeah, that’s right baby
Girl, tonight we're gonna make love
You know how I know baby?
Cuz its Wednesday, and Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Tuesday night is the night that we go and visit your mother, but
Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Cuz everything is just right, conditions are perfect.
There's nothing good on TV, conditions are perfect.
You lean in close and say something sexy like " I might go to bed I've
got work in the morning." I know what you're trying to say baby.
You're tryin to say "Ooh yeah, it's business time, it's business time."

Chorus (Both)

It’s business, it's business time!
J:That’s what your trying to say, your trying to say lets get down to business
its business time.
Its business its business time

Jemaine:
Thats what you're tryin to say, you're tryin to say lets get down to
business it's business time! 

Jemaine:
Ooh, Next thing you know were in the bathroom brushing our teeth.
That's all part of it. That's foreplay.
Then you go sort out the recycling, that's not part of it but it's still
very important.
Then we're in the bedroom. You're wearing that ugly old baggy
t-shirt from that team building exercise you did for your old work,
and it's never looked better on you.
Mmmhh, team building exercise not tonight. Oh you don't know
what you're doing to me. I remove my jeans but trip over them
cuz i've still got my shoes on, but then I turn it into a sexy dance.
Next thing you know I'm down to just my socks and you know
when I'm down to just my socks what time it is. It's time for
business. It's business time.

Chorus (Both)
Its buisness, its business time
J:You know when I’m down to just my socks its time for business,
that’s why they call them business socks

Jemaine:
You know when I'm down to just my socks it's time for business
that's why they call it business socks

Chorus

Jemaine:
Ooh, makin love, makin love for two, makin love for two minutes.
When its with me you only need two minutes, cuz I’m so intense
Two minutes in heaven is better then one minute in heaven
You say sumthing like “Is that it?”
I know what your trying to say, your trying to say “Ahh ya that’s it”
Then you tell me you want some more
Well im not surprised, But im quite sleepy.

Chorus (Both)
Its business, its business time
J: Business hours are over, baby
Its business, its business time.

再加几句“诗”

昨天13号线上  想的  爱情真是创作灵药～

～

地铁的上辈子是不是一条水蛇？

负责每站关门的健壮年轻人
曾是个刽子手
心狠手快

带“治安”肩章的大妈
以前绝对是年老的修女
迫害欲十足

窗口后卖票的妇女
当过肉铺子大娘
四个现代化前  要肥给瘦
经济发达后  要瘦给肥
凶神恶煞

每个疲惫的乘客
上辈子都是谁？
他们在意么？算命么？
渴望过去么？希望投胎么？

那么着急忙慌地赶路
就算是投胎吧

I Hope You Die，有几段不明白，可是明白的地方让我和小熊各自有了极端的反应……

dufake版本：
我希望这首歌能强调出来
我希望这首歌能说得明白
我是多么希望你丫去死

我希望，你的室友拿自己当尊神
结果被CNN称为“保龄球袋子BOB”
两次因为玩尸体入狱
而且这次丫玩的是一匹clyde马的尸体
丫会看着家畜的照片手淫
还伴着基督教摇滚歌走了一“沉默的羔羊”的舞
边吃屎渣子边从Deliverance里摘句子
还跟丫幻想中的小朋友Vince打架

死吧 死吧 死吧 死吧 死吧 死吧 死吧

我希望他的笑容宛如Jack Nicholson
而且丫还逼着你玩“下巴上的蛋”
玩这个之后的事，你就什么都不知道了
但你会记住，fist也可以是个动词
当你终于又恢复知觉后
你正被塞在婚纱里
号子里的所有保安都对你视而不见
因为您那牢友前几天刚操飞了一只鸟

（有人开始和我抢生意了T-T~~~）
