Black Dream

It is really a long time since I posted my last article. It has nothing to do with my work or anything else, it is all about my laziness.

Opera is a great community where everybody, or at least everybody I met, is kind and warmhearted. I appreciate every comment you lovely people left, and read them carefully. However, I did not respond quickly enough. Of course, I will do it.

My girlfriend went to shopping today. She bought a beautiful sweater, a beautiful skirt, a beautiful pair of boots and a beautiful necklace. Everything was so beautiful that she was so excited that she couldn't help calling me for three times just to tell me how happy she was.

She was not only happy at shopping itself, but else at making a friend. She and her company have been workmates for more than one year without establishing friendship. This shopping, lasting from morning to evening, made them frinds quickly. They shared many things and exchange many thought. one of the thought they shared was that shopping companyed by boyfriend is boring and tiring because boyfriend is always hurrying you up.

what else can make woman happier? It is supposed that there are no such thing. But tonight I'm told that there are the one thing, the only one thing, that can make woman happier: credit paid by boyfriend.

I failed to finish my project which is assigned by my boss two weeks ago. So today I was called to his desk and was given a good, long, heavy lesson. Yeah, I am taught. I learned much, one of which is that you performance will never reach your boss's expectation.

One of my workmates complained that this is not a job for human being, and declared that he was thinking about quiting. I was sad to hear that. However, I myself won't think about it, anyway.

There are many stuff I hate about public buses in this city, the most unbearable is advertisement from the bus radio.

Every morning, when I take bus, there is a piece of ads saying "With Taijiang Hospital, it takes three minutes to drop your upset". Maybe my English is not so good, but what he said was definitely "three minutes" and "upset". And you know what it advertises?ABORTION!

I don't mean that woman have no right to take abortion. What make me angry is "three minutes" and "upset". It sounds that abortion is nothing more serious than curing hemorrhoids.

Life of a baby, althoug not grown to its shape, is destroyed, health of a young lady is hurt for the last of her life, respect for life are given up. All these stuff are done within THREE MINUTES, and everybody are not UPSET anymore. Yeah, great hospital! Every woman and man, adult and adolescent, boy and girl should know you. So you advertise every morning.

There are some women who are not afraid of abortion, but of pain coming along with abortion. So the advertiser emphasis that what they do is painless abortion. Three minutes,painless and no upset anymore, you know what it mean? Even a school girl can afford it. I think that this is what this disgusting hospital really want to advertise for.

Reading is a good habit I lost since I got a computer of my own. Internet to me is like TV to children, easy but not so much real content.

To get my good habit back, I decide to make a list consisting of books I should read. And they are:

1. Complete Collection of Work by LunXun,People Literature Publishing House.

2.TCP/IP Illustrated

About a month ago,David Blaine failed in bid to hold breath for more than 8:58, which is the current world record. He have held breath for more than seven minutes, however, which is also a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for ordinary people like us.

Recently, my girlfriend, who I call Baobao, found herself good at breath holding. For weeks, we went to swim pool almost everday. Swimming skill was so difficult for her that she gave up this sport finally and focused on her breath-holding show.

Yesterday she asked me to count time when she held her breath,with her body underwater and hair floating on water. She had told me that she could last one minute at least, I didn't believed it for I can't hold my breath for more than 40 seconds.

But she did it, 60 seconds passed and she was still underwater without any guesture suggesting an end. People aroud noticed her and stopped to watch her.

I got excited and ten seconds later, I shouted to her:"1 minutes and 10 seconds." She didn't response, and her hair was floating on the water.

I continued to count, and another 10 seconds passed, nothing new, not even a single bubble.

When it reached 1 minute and 30 seconds, there was no bubble yet, and Baobao had kept the same posture for 1:30. I felt a little upset, I asked her
"Hey?"
No answer.
"Hey, are you okay?"
No answer either.
I decided to pull her out, she refused, but I insisted, she gave up and I told her"You have held your breath for 1 minute and 40 seconds,man."

Until I my second installation of Firefox, I was kept with the wonder why such a plain browser so popular with so much ITer. IMO, it is no more than a browser consuming lots of memory and having trouble with many many sites, especially with Chinese sites. So I saw THOSE GUYS as nuts.

However, when my site was gonna be finished, I downloaded a copy of FF, and installed it. There are several default search engines embedded with FF,consisting of Google, Baidu,Yahoo China and Taobao.
I hated the later two, and decided to remove them anyway.Astonshing enough, I found that it took me not more than five minutes to do the job. I went to the intallation folder, found a subfolder named "searchplugins", went down, deleted some files and then get all work done. Wonderful!

It's not that allowing user delete files makes you a open source project. Being the most popular open source project, FF has a rich collection of extensions and plugins. Everybody, if he likes, can write some code and make his FF more powerful. Everybody, if he doesn't like it, can write no code and make his FF more poerful also, for there are so many people like writing new extensions.

As a newbie to FireFox, I installed some popular extensions.They are Gmail Space, Fasterfox, FlashGot, DownThemAll, Page Zoom,IE Tab and All-in=One Gestures, the last one of which make me so happy that I can keep my habit with Opera.

However, I won't discard Opera anyway. As The Fastest Browser on Earth, Opera is so wonderful that sometimes you just have no choice.

This is a joke from devans186 too, and I translated it into Chinese. This one is not too difficult, so I am more satisfied with the quality of this piece than of the previews one. Also, i post it to a English study forum

Broke Back Alaska
　　
　　Tom had been in the liquor business for 25 years. Finally sick of the stress, he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from humanity as possible. He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet.
　　
　　After six months or so, of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there. "Name's Lars, your neighbor from forty miles up the road. Having a Christmas party Friday night... Thought you might like to come. About 5:00." "Great", says Tom, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
　　
　　As Lars is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you......be some drinkin'." "Not a problem" says Tom. "After 25 years in the business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
　　
　　Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."
　　"Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there, Thanks again."
　　
　　"More'n likely be some wild sex, too," "Now that's really not a problem" says Tom, warming to the idea "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
　　
　　Don't much matter ..... Just gonna be the two of us."

Tom做了25年的酒生意,厌烦了生活的压力,于是辞职在阿拉斯加买了59亩地安下家, 远离人类社会.每个月邮递员来送一次生活用品,其余时间是完全的平静
　　
　　过了这样与世隔绝的六个月以后,有人敲门.Tom去开门,是一个很高大的大胡子男人.
　　
　　"我叫Lars,住在这条路上去40英里,星期五晚上有一个圣诞party,你应该会过来吧,下午5点开始".
　　"好的,"Tom说,"来这有六个月了,我正打算认识一些本地朋友,谢谢你."
　　
　　于是Lars就要走,不过他又回头,"应该告诉你,聚会会有饮酒的".
　　"那不是问题,"Tom说,"我做了25年的酒生意,跟谁拼酒都没问题."
　　
　　于是,大个子又要走,又停下来说,"还有,聚会会有斗殴的".
　　"没事,我跟人比较处得来,这个不成问题,我会过去的,再次谢谢你了"
　　
　　"还有,聚会会有狂野性爱的."
　　"这个就更不是问题了,"Tom说,"我六个月没过正常生活了,我一定会去的.顺便问一下,衣着有什么要求吗?"
　　
　　"这个啊,这个没关系,反正聚会就我们两个人"
