修好了

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 10:53:00 +0000

感謝大家，手術進行順利，星期三已開始請假閉關修養，鼻子大多處於阻塞不通狀態外，目前除睡覺不能躺平、笑的時候鼻子會痛外，一切還好。

結果要開刀

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 04:16:00 +0000

今天去看醫生，醫生一看X光片就說Definitely broken 兩個選擇：1什麼都不作，鼻子以後會歪掉。2開刀。當然選2。所以星期三要去開刀了...

鼻子斷了

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 03:58:00 +0000

下午去打擊練習場，租了一個cage三個人輪流打，快要走的時候，興致勃勃拿球丟給Lan打，玩得正高興，沒想到一個球迎面襲來，當場鼻血就噴出來，感謝弘皓和君皖和Lan帶我去醫院掛急診，Ying也趕來急診室，照了X光後發現鼻子斷了，星期一還得跟專門的醫生約診去把它修好... 好險球打到我前有先彈到地上一次，不然應該會更嚴重，也還好沒有打到眼睛或其他地方，算很幸運的了。

Randy Pausch's talk

Today Ying introduced this video to me. An HCI professor in CMU gave his talk which is very inspiring. It is important not to forget or give up the dream we have.

第一次從博客來訂書

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Fri, 25 May 2007 03:29:00 +0000

好久沒有很痛快的看中文書了，每次到China Town的世界書局，看到那幾本舊舊髒髒書，選擇又少又貴到令人咋舌，買書看書的好興致就少了大半。這回從博客來一口氣訂了十多本書，應該可以擋一陣子了。雖然還是很貴，但真的很快，等所有的書到到貨就寄出，然後UPS「隔天」就送到了，真的是隔天哩！貴死人不償命的運費果然有它的道理。拿到書後，馬上這本也翻一翻、那本也翻一翻，感覺就像一夕暴富的窮人興奮得把鈔票拋上天。爽！要不是明天要上班，真想通宵達旦的看書呀。

The Science of Sleep (戀愛夢遊中)

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sun, 13 May 2007 04:34:00 +0000

I saw this movie on DVD today. It was awesome; I liked it very much. The director Michel Gondry was the same director as "Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind". I like the magical world and the romantic affairs happened between two creative young minds illustrated in the movie.

The Jaw-dropping Bill

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sat, 05 May 2007 10:25:00 +0000

The bills of going to the ER two weeks ago came, two bills total $2000. This is too much if one did not have insurance. The quality of hospital is great, but still a jaw-dropping moment for me when first seeing the bill.

Bought a sofa finally.

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 23:51:00 +0000

Letting the apartment be empty for more almost an year, we finally decided to buy a couch. We went to the furniture stores near exit99 and literally went into all of them. We decide to buy a $350 sofa bed, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Good~

Finally got my Devil's picturebook

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 02:45:00 +0000

After more than 40 days since I ordered it, my 'Devil's picture book' finally arrived. Together with 'Absoluted Magic' and 'Pure effect' that are already in my library, it made my collection of Derren Brown's work complete. I am looking forward to see it. I went to play basketball this evening with the TSA guys after a long time without doing any physical exercise. When I got home, I was exhaustedly tired...

生日快樂

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 16:19:00 +0000

生日為什麼快樂？生日快樂為了什麼?

我在公司帶一個Project，Team的成員包括在德國的合約公司的兩個工程師. 一月Oliver從德國來亞特蘭大出差三個禮拜，前幾天不經意聊到星期五(1/19)是他的生日。為了讓在異鄉的他高興，我偷偷訂了蛋糕，邀請了一些跟他熟識的同事給他生日的驚喜。

短短的十幾分鐘，大家都很高興，一起分享蛋糕、感染喜悅。

老闆和很多同事劈頭就對我說：Good job! good Team Building! The company can reimburse the cake.
當下我感到一陣反胃，什麼時候開始生日快樂不止是讓一個人擁有高興一天，讓別人給予祝福和分享他的喜悅?

過生日就過生日，Team Building個屁呀。

誰說沒人記得你的生日? 生日打開email一定會收到的一籮筐機器寄出的制式信。汽車公司、信用卡公司、會員卡公司...。
你會希望有人買了蛋糕祝你生日快樂滿腦子卻想著要把你口袋裡的錢掏出來嗎?

對我而言，記得一個人的生日，是珍重一個交情，是分享和祝福，是表達心意的機會。為一個人慶生，Team Building 最多可以算是bonus，但不應該是動機，否則就流於廉價虛矯。

我的生日願望是永遠不要變成看到有人幫別人慶生劈頭就說Good Team building 的人。

心情故事

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:52:00 +0000

牽手一輩子的浪漫會是怎樣?
這次旅行到了邁阿密, 夜晚十一點, 當大半的城市已逐漸睡去時, 海岸邊還有一群觀眾一個舞台還有一個樂團盡情地演奏拉丁風情. 觀眾熱情的回應, 舞台前很多小朋友大方的隨著強烈的節奏擺動, 舞台側邊不遠的地方一對中年夫妻吸引我的眼睛, 就著夜色兩個人旁若無人的相擁而舞親吻, 彷彿海風, 夜色, 樂聲, 人群整個場景都是為了他們而設計的.

想起小時後看到過的廣告, 廣告的產品是一種統一250 c.c. 鋁箔包飲料好像叫做心情故事, 印象中的畫面顏色調性是灰灰藍藍的, 從房內往門外看有郵差的腳踏車經過,配上女聲口白. 很有味道. 剛找了一下找不到影片了可是找到了口白文字:

自從爺爺去世後 , 好久沒看到奶奶那麼高興 . 每天下午 , 奶奶都興奮的在樓下等著郵差送信來 . 然後拿了掛號信後就躲在房間裡到很晚才肯出來 . 問奶奶是誰寄來的 , 為什麼每天都有人寫信給她 . 奶奶就是不肯說 . 昨天 , 我忍不住偷偷的到奶奶的房間 , 打開這些信 . 原來是奶奶把以前爺爺寫給她的情書 , 又一封一封的寄給自己 …

人人都有第一次

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 09:34:00 +0000

前一陣子太忙亂了都沒跟大家報告

我拿到出國比賽以來的第一張罰單啦

上禮拜從公司趕去學校的路上, 明明車很多, 大家都開差不多快, 一個上坡轉下坡很專心的在晃神的我, 完全沒注意到有一隻測速槍對著 (想說只是另一隻狗仔被偷拍也不是第一次), 其他人都超會演的馬上假裝開的很慢只有我雖千萬元吾往矣, 當場被逮個正著.

還不知道多少錢罰單上寫的是法院見
(也不一定要去啦如果願意放棄把黑的說成白的的機會就可以不用去), 據我同事說該警察的簽名至少價值三百元現大洋(當然是美金), 還外送保費提高好幾年, 真是...OOXX, 還好我過二十五歲了否則好像會更貴

回想起以前被開過的罰單

第一張罰單大學的時候才剛會開車跟爸爸借車就開上高速公路, 跟lyee等人去六福村玩在高速公路上拍了一張三千元的大頭貼, 拿到罰單還不敢講偷偷去把繳掉.

第二次好像是騎摩托車要跟跆拳道社/隊聚餐, 忘記是誰打電話給我, 我騎上人行道接電話再騎下去就被開張違規行駛人行道.
好像沒有了....

不過也好啦照很多人的說法, 我真的開太快了, 花錢買個教訓應該至少會有一陣子會開比較慢了

The Prestige

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 08:48:00 +0000

以魔術師為題材的電影很少, 今年竟然就出現了兩部, 兩部都推薦!
The illusionist (台灣還未上?)
The Prestige 頂尖對決

The illusionist 比較浪漫，片中有角色那種自以為很聰明的觀眾，讓人看了會心一笑, 個人很欣賞愛德華諾頓演的魔術師角色的氣質。

The Prestige的感覺佈局更為機巧，加入科學和魔術的reflection，講故事有記憶拼圖的味道(Christopher Nolan) 讓人看了還想重看一次，但是把魔術師講的太壞啦.希望不要有人看了之後而討厭魔術.

兩片的時代背景都不是現代，共同點是看完之後都會覺得魔術師心機很重. ;-) 兩部片裡面都穿插了一些魔術歷史裡的經典，像是橘子樹口接子彈等. 推薦一本書，對魔術的歷史有興趣的人可以參考: Hiding the Elephant. 作者Jim Steinmeyer就是設計自由女神消失的那位仁兄

後記：後來發現除了這兩片外還有伍迪艾倫的SCOOP，也很讚!

機場

noreply@blogger.com (Ang Lee) — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 21:16:00 +0000

在英國機場發生緊急事件的那天
一大早五點多開車到機場
用舊生的身分去接來念書的國中同學
這幾天，帶著他去買雜貨鍋碗瓢盆....
想當初...

兩年了耶~ 真快呀
轉眼到了已經可以"想當初"的時候了
我覺得在機場裡面接人和被接的感覺很好
就像在懇親會看到家人的感覺
腦海中浮現電影"愛是您愛是我"的片頭片尾

在機場入境大廳每天上演著好多故事:-)
