2008 第一次 第二次 第十五次 - [日子点滴]
在小舅住的重庆希尔顿上网，实在是没有别的地方可以上网了...可是还是跑电池，插头型号不对，唉！
什么时候开始眷恋南京？
曾经是一个没有我的亲戚没有我的方言没有我的食物的地方
而今年，十年来的第一次，我早早的就盼着回南京，兴高采烈的回来，不依不舍的离开去上海过年，又盼着等着从重庆回到南京。
南京有爸爸，有大姐，由张周瑞，有唐磊，有那帮粗人同学。在上海竟然如此压抑，但是能在奶奶98岁这年陪她过年，她开心，我也开心；有太多话可以说，可我现在说不出来。重庆有这么多好吃的竟然还是想回南京，我也太恋旧了。
第二次吃唐磊请的三人饭。说不清楚的气氛。TL同学如果下个周末不回南京，也许我就见不到单身的他了，虽然他嘴上说不想结婚，可还是吐噜了想要女儿，这个瘦瘦的粗人...那天和大姐三个人吃饭，我竟然困成那样，真是对不起他们...如果你回来，我请你们... 还有啊，真的希望他不要抽太多烟了，不然更瘦...
不想说了，没有电池了...
大姐，我一会开就找你，咱们再coffee house chat一次吧？
-
可爱的南京，我要回来啦！银装素裹的打扮好了... 确实很美啊！虽然有点和波士顿太像...
期待着礼拜四和老爸的第一顿午饭，有黄豆蹄子汤哦...
期待着和大姐在冰天雪地的某个温暖角落聊天，聊到最后肯定会觉得时间不够...
期待着一堆人在某个热闹的地方吃饭喧哗，见见各位姑娘的BF...啊哈哈
期待着某TL请我们吃小肥羊...不许落跑！
期待着在上海看春晚
期待着和小舅一家一起从上海飞重庆，啊哈哈，我那三个弟弟最可爱啦！最受不了臭彬彬黏糊糊的摸着我的手眨巴着媚眼说"...~~莅莅姐姐~~你就是我亲姐姐“...谁家的孩子啊这么酥！！
期待着重庆的外公，亲戚...火锅
我知道十个省都闹着雪灾，不过心里很热乎...等着我哈，23小时后就上飞机，46小时后就到啦！

科学家称500万异形藏匿地球 - [Just for gigs]
你的配偶可能是外星人?科学家称500万异形藏匿地球 环球时报
据美国《世界新闻报》美国不明飞行物专家兼物理学家詹姆士博士说，美国境内现有500万外星人，他们外表看起来与地球人无异，而且男女比例平衡，大多数人已结婚，但未生子。
詹姆士博士在过去10年间，一直对地球人与外星人联姻进行研究，至少发现了1000对地球人与外星人结婚的案例。他说，每个美国人与外星人结婚的概率为50％。
詹姆士博士说，目前尚不清楚外星人为何来美国。“也许他们是来征服世界，或是到地球这个奇怪的星球上来感受一下奇怪的生活，或是因为自己的星球过于拥挤，而来地球抢占地盘。”
“外星人最初拜访地球时，担心自己很难实现与地球人联姻的梦想。但后来，他们发现在地球上，并不是所有的人都能找到合适的同类伴侣结婚生子，于是他们便消除一切顾虑，尽其所能施展自己的魅力，以吸引地球人。”
詹姆士博士在研究中发现了一个令人惊讶的结果，那就是，在地球所有的婚姻中，与外星人的联姻是最牢固的。尽管美国人的离婚率一直高达50％，但在地球人与外星人的婚姻中，离婚率却只有10％。对此，詹姆士博士给出的解释是，外星人在经营他们与地球人的婚姻时，比地球人更精心。
为了方便美国人判断自己的配偶是否是外星人，詹姆士博士还特地列举了以下几个判断依据：
如果你的丈夫是外星人，那他———
喜欢对房子修修补补，因为他们天生动手能力就很强；
与地球人不一样，他们不喜欢手拿电视遥控器，频繁更换频道。他们总是耐心汲取每一个电视节目的信息；
做爱之后，他们喜欢与另一半沟通个不停，因为他们想更多地了解地球人对**的看法；
方向感不好（真怀疑他们是因为找不到回家的方向而只能在地球上居住下来）。
如果你的妻子是外星人，那她———
对体育赛事入迷。看体育节目时，异常安静，而且无需就有关体育问题请教身边的丈夫；
做家务的方式特别，而且不愿男人插手家务，她们认为男人主动帮助做家务是对她们的侮辱；
为保持适中身材和非凡魅力，她们每天坚持体育运动，并十分注意合理饮食；
与丈夫理论时，逻辑性超强。 -

Gullibility - [胡思乱想 random thoughts]
Jimmy Besancon, at the age of about 10, said to the 18-year-old me, "oh Xinli, you're so gullible."
I don't think the comment stuck in my head for more than 10 minutes. But it may just be one of the most shrewd and significant observations ever made about me from anyone; let alone from any 10 year old boy. It's been years, and finally one moment, I was suddenly struck by the truth of it.
I must have been gulled tens and hudreds of times since then, and luckily, most of the time inconsequentially. But I'm really impressed with Jimmy.
Merry Christmas Jimmy!

my (currently) favorite joke - [Just for gigs]
Here it goes:
A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey! You're quite a celebrity around here! We've even got a drink named after you." The grasshopper goes, "You have a drink named Steve?"

火爆，东部太火爆 - [胡思乱想 random thoughts]
一开会我就头疼，肚子疼，外加犯困。虽说我的两位负责领导都很温顺，对我和言细雨，另外几个同事就那啥了。一开会就跟革命似的，不就是个工作么，弄得跟阶级敌人似的干嘛呀。而且每次开会都是午饭时间，让不让人健康养生了。
有个合作的小伙子M，是个小博士后，他也同感。每次一到礼拜三就想方设法的问能不能不来参加礼拜四的会。他不是我们单位的，所以不来就不来了。当然，每次他不来某老板就会革命我们几个在场的，知不知道M在场的重要性啊，你们怎么不跟他说要来参加呀。你这不废话么，我们是善良人，己所不欲勿加于人不是，谁愿意大老远的跑过来看你横眉冷对啊，欠你的。那天我问M，你从哪个州来的，他说研究生是在加州读的。然后声音压老低的说，你是不是也觉得这个地方（东部）特别恐怖？我也压低声音说，嗯。
当然其实我同级的办公室的孩子都还是挺好的，说说笑笑挺放松。我爸以前有个老同学叫杨**，老给人开会，所以人家给他起个外号叫杨开会。我们这个单位整个就是个洋开会。郁闷死我了。
