今天终于放假了!戏剧课看了《Thank God Your Here》的娱乐节目,逗死我了~~真的不是一般有创意啊~
后来闭幕典礼上,看了十年级男生跳舞…配合得特别有默契!!超帅。。不得不佩服一下韩国淫滴舞蹈神经
接下来是(大部分)女生合唱圣诞颂歌~ 本来我也该参加的,偷懒+生病+跑调,于是没开始就放弃。。
All I want for Xmas is u~
就是嘛…我们学校的人比Mariah Carey唱得好多了… 温馨呐…
不过好些人要走了~ 教我10年级电脑的Mr.Ross(南美),还有WY(韩国)。Deborah招呼也没打就走了(韩国)。还有十年级那傻大个,要去苏格兰。。他总是能让我想起《Heroes》里面的Hiro。。说话神情都超像=_=~
我+Emma、Megumi、Opp去了Cindy家 蹭饭~
A 他很喜欢那首《大海》呢。 B 是那首,“大海啊大海,就像妈妈一样”么? A 不是那儿歌啦。君子给我回信了。到厦门喽 见面倒计时开始~
带我们参观了房间,99%的家居都是IKEA的……
她很厉害的~ 做了辣白菜炒五花肉!她家阿姨也不错,朝鲜族的。
Cindy告诉我们,韩国那边看一个人饭菜做得如何,只用品尝汤和kimchi。这两样做好了,啥都能做了。
我就调侃+感叹,难怪我找不到韩国男人捏。。厨艺那么烂~
她家有一只又吵又丑的狗。。呵呵 Me酱提前走了,因为和那帮日本滴约好了唱K。
后来在她房间里聊天,听她讲故事(在内蒙古的时候她也跟我说过一些,真的都很传奇><)
给她们看了君子的照片。。开心呐。
Cindy还教我们怎么玩韩国的牌,我一头雾水。大小类似于麻将。 《我们没有明天》刚刚演过,她就提出来。。!她说老人家玩那个会防治老年痴呆症。。
然后翻她衣服(Emma提议。。) 第一次见到貂皮大衣。。
后来讨论着她的男朋友,他就来了 跟他又说了会话 他会韩文和中文,Opp俩都听不懂。所以我们谈话经常出现混乱
Cindy瞥到家里的Vodka,提议一起喝鸡尾酒kaluha。遂动身去小区超市,买了牛奶。Whipped-cream米有。顺便还有啤酒、M&M和蜜桃味Breezer。
恰巧碰到了10年级的小生。他只消两眼,就非常礼貌地问Cindy,“姐姐,你们是不是要喝酒?” Cindy笑而不答。。我们特乐。
回去后三下五除二,鸡尾酒出炉。味道还不错呢 暖暖的。
她家的碟子也超级无敌霹雳多。。我挑三拣四,说 看看《Love and Other Disasters》。不过最后还是成了Emma想看的恐怖电影《情人节》。一点也不恐怖。 吃了冰淇淋。
看完就和Opp、Emma打车到城铁站,各自回家了。 路上又唱了好多圣诞颂歌,一下一段对话。 A: Would u sing to ur boyfriend randomly?
B: No, actually.
A: Yeah, with the exception of KTVs.
B: nope, usually never.
A:....well I do.
C: 'cuz she's Wendy~~~现在,趁着还没进入放假的状态之时,进入下一本英文书,《The Bell Jar》。作文题目:“结合小说讨论:传统文学中,男性通常是主动,而女性多处于被动。”

最近发现,越来越多的好玩事情都发生在Econ课。。
经济课和数学课是人数最多的;然而Mr.G比数学老师Mr.F要送一些。
只有在经济课上我才能回温起在清华附中的感觉~ 捣蛋鬼如我
我们接二连三地往别人头上倒hole puncher弄出来的白纸末。。Gary这个是我弄得。。我也被别人弄。。哈

这原本是Rob的耳环。。经过了Gary的耳朵之后,他不怕脏也疼,就到处挂。。
之后还说,以后弄个鸡巴ring、奶头ring、腋窝ring……我们都发怵了。。其实真正有耳洞的仅此圭相一人。。我们都只是在YY。。。

这是经济考试的时候 无聊之余。。嗯 交之前擦掉了
还有一次周一,我刚从新加坡回来,前一天晚上才睡6个小时。
经济课小趴5分钟,醒来发现我的《飞越疯人院》被Gary包上了封皮。。特别搞笑
正面
如何甩掉一个疯子?如何约出一个疯子?乔治`布什著 =_=~ 果然是DT的学生。。就是比我心灵手巧~
哈哈哈~~还有昨天的dildo事件。。
特搞笑,圭相试着把脉动瓶子套手套里 没弄成
Robert抢过来,套上 我说是dildo。。然后他也心领神会,开始晃荡外加‘ziiiiiiiiiii~~’ 声
KS特别无奈 说,本来只是想做个鲨鱼形像。。。(手指处是鱼翅)
Emma就指责我们毒害青少年。。哈哈话说明天就要考经济了。。呜呜~~ 不过我扯淡神功 所向披靡~ 不惧不惧。

2007-12-09《搏击俱乐部》之《现实和身份》 - [~电影赏析~]

这篇影评其实有点违心。。为了迎合认识论老师的『真实』这一主题。。
有些地方写得不够煽情,也不够多。我其实特别喜欢这电影。看不懂的直接跳过,下面有截图和喜欢的台词~~
Reality and Identity
Fight Club’s protagonist (whose name was never pointed out), is an employee of a big car company. He suffers from serious insomnia. He alsohates his repetitive and boring life, but could not identify the problem. This makes him feel self conscious, full of hate and maybe paranoid about his environment. When pills did not help him with the sleeping issue, he went to groups where people had incurable diseases. That helped—people really listened to him, and he was able to be himself. Then Marla Singer appears in the groups, she is also a fake case and knows that the narrator is one too. He starts losing sleep again. One day on a business flight, he discovers Tyler Durden, acharming man who sells soap. Both of them get to know each other better as the narrator lives in with Tylerdue to the explosion of his condo. They find brawling with each other quite expressive and then formed a fight club. This club was underground, “First rule: Don't talk about fight club.Second rule: Don't talk about fight club”. But the club still grew bigger as time past. The narrator felt good about it, “It was on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Tyler and I just gave it a name.” The relationship between Tyler and the narrator got complicated as Marla reappeared in the wreck house they lived in. Then as the fight club grew bigger, things got out of the narrator’s control. Tyler was directing all sorts of illegal events skillfully under the name of “Project Mayhem”, they trains themselves asan army, to destroy modern civilization. The narrator finds out that Tyler “was truly born as a distinct personality when the narrator's unconscious desire for Marla clashedwith his conscious hatred for her.” “He tries to trace Tyler'ssteps, traveling all over the country and feeling a sense of déjà vu wherever he travels. Puzzled, he calls Marla Singer, and asks her to say his name. When she responds "Tyler Durden," he realizes the truth – Tyler is an aspect of his own split personality. Tyler appears in his room and explains that he is in control of the narrator's bodywhenever he is asleep. He tracks Tyler to the downtown headquarters of major credit card companies, which Tyler plans to destroy in order to collapse the consumerist financial system. The narrator, attempting to disarm theexplosives in the building basement, is confronted by Tyler, knocked unconscious, and taken to the upper floor of another building to witness the impending destruction. The narrator, who is held by Tyler at gunpoint, realizes that, sharing the same body with Tyler, he really holds the gun. He finds himself holding the gun and fires it into hismouth, shooting through the cheek without killing him. The illusion of Tyler collapses, with an exit wound to the back of his head. Members of Project Mayhem, who still seethe narrator as Tyler, bring Marla Singer to him and leave them alone, despite being shocked over his wound. Marla, who was warned to leave the city by the narrator, concernedlyasks what happened. The narrator explains that he shot himself and tells her,"You met me at a very strange time in my life." They watch as the buildings explode in a collapsing skyline outside the windows, standingside-by-side and holding hands.” (Answers.com).
What reality means to us mostly is we are who we are. What would happen if we don’t do whatwe think we are doing and think differently? What if we are not the person wethink we are? Doesn’t that make all the things in life a little bit different?
The narrator had problems with finding out that he was Tyler, or, who he was. The reason to that might be he lost his own consciousness of him as a person. He didn’t know who he was, what he wanted to do; why he stillworks for people he despises. The movie implied reality as a materialized and void. The narrator escaped from reality.
Opposing to the narrator’s situation of not sensing reality, the portraying of this story is pretty real. The monotone in the narration implies the theme of him having a monotone life. He was as normal as a man could be.
The lost of identification of the narrator was also due to lack of communication with people. People get to know themselves better by others. The narrator was the opposite. His boss never called him as his own name; neither did anyone else in the film. His only friend that he tried to talk to (other than every-day talk) was Marla, who chooses to walk away every time the narrator seems to have a fitabout him not being Tyler.
The narrator didn’t answer what name he had when she asked, “Rupert? Cornelius? Any of those stupid names you come up with?” He never introduced his name to the audience. Later on he used “Jack” as a medium to tell the feelings other than “I”, probably because of the book he read about this novel about an organ telling the story of Jack. (“There's a whole series of these! I am Jill's nipples!”)
"I am Jack's flamed sense of rejection."
“I am Jack's cold sweat.”
“I am Jack's wasted life.”
“I am all alone. My father dumped me, Tyler dumped me. I am Jack's broken heart.”
“Sir, in Project Mayhem we have no names.”This was also something about losing his control over his identity. All thepeople called him “sir”, and they never called each other by names. Tyler was only the Brad Pitt Tyler to the narrator; toothers, Tyler was the narrator.
When the big-tit Bob died, the narrator wanted to arouse their awareness about the seriouss ituation the people were fooling around with. “He’s not a piece of evidence!” Thenthe members come up with a rule that once a person in Project Mayhem dies, he “deserves”a name, as though a recovery of identity.
Fight Club gavethe lost people—including the narrator—an identity; or the reality: they were men. the men’s masculinity was aroused. They were people like the narrator—hadnothing to hold on to but materials. This was the reason the narrator was obsessedwith buying Ikea furniture, trying to find out “What kind of dining set defines me as a person.” Then again, Tyler points out that people end up being owned by their own possessions. To have a fight, they hadto get rid of shirts, rings and ties; which were objects that represented acivilized and material world. “When a fight was over, nothing was solved. But nothing mattered.” This was how the narrator felt. He started out thinking that “never having a fight in his life” would be a good thing. Now, the club really meant something to him.
As a conclusion, from the film the audience realized that it is important to keep hold of one’s identity even without the belief in a religion, or being obsessed with materials. Just as Tyler put it in the movie,
You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of theworld.
You only live inreality when you recognize yourself. Be sure when Tyler asks you, what you would feel like if you died on that spot.

2007-12-06关于老师·积淀已久的牢骚 - [~愤青不轻~]
经常听别人在说,上中国学校如何如何辛苦。
别忘了,你的老师每天每夜也陪着你辛苦。老师难当,好老师更难当(名、好老师更难当!哈哈)。
我上BISS,有个深切体会便是,我把中学老师的辛勤当作应该的了(took it for granted)。其实很多人都不知道老师的良苦用心。
不过我这篇主要还是批评俺们BISS老师,所以省略歌颂赞扬人民教师的数百字。以下是我和Emma一起总结的。这几个都是男老师 也是我跟Emma共有的几位老师。
1. 数学老师 经常不备课
经典场景:第七章,第一节课教了7.1.1;
第二节课直接跳过7.1.2和7.1.3教7.2,课后才意识到=_=
上第三节课 问我们,“今天第七章是不是教完了?” 这种问题超常见.虽然说十年级的Mrs.Ross资历不如他,但是备课充分且高效率。
2. 经济老师 作业判得慢
基本上是一周判完一份作业或考试。我还闲他上课慢悠悠的:第一天布置作业,回去读教科书;第二天一字不差地重复一遍,让我超级无奈 幸好我是基础级;要是高级班的话得急疯了
3. 生物老师 教得不直接
上课经常扯无关紧要的东西,然后不把全面的process交给我们。到了考试,比谁判得都严!这回才得5分(5/7)。。考试标准也不明确;像我们的化学老师(我再叹气惋惜一下)什么都很清楚,判下来的分让我们无话可说。倒是是生物老师,我们经常质疑于他。
最近还有个实验,让我们在他设计的method(步骤)里挑错,我挑了它不详细、不明确的错(因为我们有两个组都犯了这错),他说不是这种的。反正很没水平就是了!再次庆幸我是基础级的
而且这个老师还是我们的CAS调节员,他很不满意于我们最后一分钟才把本子给别的老师签字。Well, we are teenagers for god’s sake! 可挑剔了虽然说其他的老师还好,不过也经常要我们提醒这那的
例如今天发生一件非常冷的事情。我们英语考试,高级要3个小时,从1点55开始考试。基础级90分钟,应该是吃完午饭,1点40就开始。我、Gary、RobertZ、Gavrilo、Peter一行人在英语教室外侯着。
老师让我们稍等10分钟。
……………………我们又是调戏又是打闹又是侃大山的……………………
结果过去了45分钟(一节课),老师出来接水的时候才看到并想起来我们在外头。。
老师第一反应是,“要不要改日子啊?”结果是我们志愿课后留下来把考试做完。。
无奈啊。这种情况很多,即使是负责人的老师 也仅仅是负全责而不会负更多的责任;不会去帮我们判额外的东西。
也有一些体制的问题。例如IBO没有官方教材,我们就无法统一教材。还有,BISS很多钱都归老总而没有花到实际的硬件软件上,这点很恼人。
