《鄉音》鄭愁予
.
我凝望流星，想念他乃宇宙的吉普賽
在一個冰冷的圍場，我們是同槽栓過馬的
我在溫暖的地球已有了名姓
而我失去了舊日的旅伴，我很孤獨
我想告訴他，昔日小棧房坑上的銅火盆
我們併手烤過也對酒歌過的－－
它就是地球的太陽，一切的熱源
而為什麼挨近時冷，遠離時反暖，我也深深納悶著

I got a haircut this afternoon, so my hair is like this now↑
.
I like short hair. A short hairstyle lets me feel free because I don't have to think about what it looks like on my head and so on. My hair was a little bit too long lately, and I had to comb it every morning...I was tired of it, so I went to a barber shop on the street this afternoon.
.
The barber was a kind and talkative old man. After I told him what kind of hair style I need, he started to cut my hair and ask me some interesting questions at the same time.
.
"Let me ask you some interesting questions." The barber said. "How to stop your dog barking in the house...it's a little tricky."
"Aaaa...Let it barking outside!" I said.
"Oh...you are smart. And...the second question is: How to stop your dog barking on the front seat in your car?" He said.
I thought about it for a while because this question is too easy. "Let it barking on the back seat. It's a same question with the first one!"
"Ok! Ok! Now, it's the last question..." He smiled craftily. " Why dogs prefer to lie in shadow? "
I really didn't know, so I guessed. "Because dogs don't like hot."
"It's close." He said. However I still had no idea about this question. I gave up.
"Your answer was very close...The answer is: They don't want to become hot dogs!"
"I was afraid that you don't know what hot dog is, but you know it, isn't it?"
Wow...ha ha...=__=
.
It was my first time to cut hair in America. After these questions, we talked about the campus life, something about Taiwan, and some stupid American movie like "Fantastic Four". He liked some Taiwanese and Chinese movies and said a couple of movies' names. Because of translation, the only one that I could understant was "Raise the Red Lantern"(大紅燈籠高高掛). Then I told him my favorite movies. One of them was the Italian movie "Nuovo cinema Paradiso."(新天堂樂園) He felt very surprised and told me he is an Italian, came to America in 1960s. He loves this movie, but no American young people know it. He was very happy that I knew and loved it.
.
The haircut cost $8, but I gave him $10 including tips. I felt so good when I walk out of the barber shop. Although my new hairstyle is just short and...no style, it was a very pleasant experience.

This is my new room......
.
The new semester is almost start. I checked in and put my luggage in my room yesterday, yet my student ID card was not working for my room, I lived with my friend in his room in the another dorm. Today was the day that almost every student moved into their dorm for new semester. Starting from the morning, this quiet campus which was surrounded by forest, was full of cars, students, and their families. Every one was moving their stuff. I got up late. When my friend's new roommate came, I just packed my stuff up form his bed and ready to leave. I was a bit embarrased because he was confused that why their was the other guy lived in his room.
.
I fixed my card in the afternoon. It seemed a common problem. The students got their cards today, but many of them had problem. For this reason, there was a long line in front of the ID card office. Many students didn't know their cards were not working and went shopping for sheets, quilts, detergent or something else. When they came back at night, every one were locked out of the door. They requested resident assistants to open their doors, but they had to wait for tomorrow business time to fix their cards.
.
It's a little story of nothing. I just want to write something for practice.
Sleepy~~~~

Incidentally, this SUNY student ID card is useful. Because of it, I can enter MOMA for free ticket. They charge $20 for adult and $12 for regular students.

I just finished a two weeks trip in New York City. It was a whole new experiance for me because it was not my first or second time to come to New York City. I have been to almost every "important" tourist spot in guide book before, so I had a really unrestrained vocation in these two weeks. I didn't need to go somewhere in a hurry.
.
" IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!" It is a very common catchword in subway to remind passengers for doubtful things. (I also saw an artist used this one as a material for his art in a gallery...ha ha...) I saw many interesting things in my trip, and I tried to write down everything for you. However, that writting became very boring and strange, and I couldn't finish it. I wrote them down just like a long list! It would be better if I just focus on only one thing and write something about it each time...
.
Anyway, I came back to SUNY New Paltz, my little, quilt, countryside campus this afternoon. I can live with my squirrals, ducks, geese and firebugs again. ha ha ha ＋﹏＋

The photo is Coney Island, the south seashore of Brooklyn. A very odd place...

就這樣，我被猴小貓貼了= =
所以廢話不多說...我的五個怪癖是......
.
1.在網路上打字時，字尾喜歡加"呀"、"啊"、"哩"...等等若干擾亂視聽之感嘆詞......
2.洗完澡會掛著一條毛巾晃來晃去。
3.很會裝傻，顧左右而言他亦是強項(不過目前只限中文，英文版開發中)(講英文時傻了就是真的傻了= =)
4.對冰抹茶有異常偏好、厭惡蘆筍汁。
5.拍團體照時喜愛邊邊角角、一群人走路時喜歡走最後面、站在超商的飲料櫃前會呆掉而內心異常徬徨，不過這跟前兩項說實在並沒有關係，只是順道一提罷了。
.
而被我貼的人有...
1.個性古怪的ㄟ力小姐
2.南台灣太陽很大人氣王福熊老酥
3.我愛聽音樂之凱琳劉 (可是人家的blog很乾淨不知道會不會搭理我們這些囉哩八唆的奇怪網路小串聯呀orz )
4.啊我小堂妹汪汪啦!!!
5.來人呀，就是EAchen了啦，同梯的不好意思拖你下水，因為我人緣不好没朋友了啦= =
.
就降。詳細辦法請參考猴小貓果然如是。謝謝。

Yeaterday was the last day of this summer. We got a TOEFL test in the morning, and a little party with ceremony after that. There was Chinese food in the party...it was Chinese food, but something strange. I thought it was food that seems like Chinese food. The weather was hot. Cold drink was exhausted soon. In the end, I could only drink hot water in a thermos bottle.
.
I got an outstanding student award of in the end. The other student who got this award in my class is a pretty and hard working Japanese girl. Incidentally, she is a Japanese girl who really has a Japanese face.(I hope it woun't be rude :D )
.
My friends and I participated in a party last night. That was my second time to go party. I came back early because I forgot to bring my passport with me so that I couldn't drink alcohol, and the music was too loud. Last time we joined a Japanese boy's birthday party. That was really great. We drank bear and played some stupid game. Everybody was a little bit drunk. I noticed that my English was very good at that time, and my friends also.
.
The fall semester will start at 8/23, and I'll leave New Paltz, live in New York City from 8/8~8/20. I found a cheap sublet apartment in Queens so that I can vist PS1 and galleries in Chelsea easily. Saving a lot of time and money on travel.

There are many photos that I took in NYC and Boston in this summer as follows!
