The Mood for Going to a Café

The Mood for Going to a Café
Today’s effort to make yet another return to the café has once again failed. This time it was not entirely due to subjective reasons; there were also some objective factors: Plato Café has changed. When I came in today, I was first startled by the “Merry Christmas” decoration at the door: at this point in the year, we are in the period farthest from both the previous Christmas and the next one, so why is “Merry Christmas” still posted at the entrance? Still, I gathered my courage and charged in, only to discover after entering that the room layout had been adjusted, and I didn’t recognize a single one of…

The Dialectics of Nature Course Taught by the Teachers

The Dialectics of Nature Course Taught by the Teachers
First, let me repost a thread: Sender: fengziforeve (Expired pineapple can～CME! U.S.-Russia! Little optics 。。), board: Philo From start to finish, I had never seen such an utterly top-notch, depraved “teacher” before. It felt to me like he was basically a psychopath; I have no idea how he became a teacher. Before class, he announced that there would be no homework for this session, and that if anyone didn’t want to listen, they could just leave. Then he went on to say that since you came to class, you should pay attention; if you didn’t want to listen, then leave—it wouldn’t affect your grade. Then, just as class was about…

I Don’t Like Meditation; I Like Spacing Out

Life & Notes2007.05.24
I Don’t Like Meditation; I Like Spacing Out
Sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, gathering the spirit, meditating hard or thinking of nothing at all.—That doesn’t really suit me; I can’t sit still for very long. I like daydreaming. What is called daydreaming, unlike sitting in meditation, often involves staring fixedly at something. Staring at things that are at once moving and still. For example, staring at stars (stars are not motionless—they blink!), rain, water in a lake, grass, and trees. In Beijing there are very few stars and rain, so I like to stare at the wind and daydream. The wind is invisible, but the grass and trees that move with it can be seen. Stand under a big…

Everything Has Yet to Begin
I do not wish to erase a single beautiful hue, and still less to throw away the picture in my hands, yet I am about to create an entirely new world. All it takes is to change to another pen, change to another color, and everything has not yet begun. A whole new world opens its arms to me.

This Issue’s Music: Prairie Dawn (Morin Khuur)
http://www.58w.cn/SN_Music/UpLoadFile/2007-4/74340_200741764637506.mp3 All the previous ones were Western music; let’s switch to something Eastern. Choosing music is such a troublesome thing—I'll just click one at random: ——“After the ‘national treasure’ music maestro Zhang Hongguang once again poured his full efforts into the musical creation for dramas such as [Emperor Kangxi] and [Great Emperor Wu of Han], he has joined hands with the grassland music master Siriguleng to jointly release the NEW AGE original-ecology album [Yi·Wolf City]. For the first time, it combines the concept of the wolf with NEW AGE music. The first original-ecology album to describe grassland life and scenery with music rich in ethnic characteristics.” 04.

The Eternal Dragon Ball

The Eternal Dragon Ball
A while ago, when A Fei and I went to study at A Zhu’s place, every time we would see a set of Dragon Ball Complete Collection glowing brilliantly on the shelf at the Third Wave bookstore next door…… dazzling…… resplendent…… multicolored…… sure enough, in the end I still couldn’t help buying a set…… When I announced that I was going to buy a set of Dragon Ball, Mist also thought of buying a set of Doraemon (later he transferred it to me; I’ll talk about that next time). As expected, once these two sets of books were placed in the dormitory (mainly Dragon Ball, of course), they immediately attracted…

In ordinary times, one should write more blog posts as an outlet
Yesterday in the ontology seminar, we were chatting about writing academic papers. Lao Yang said that a certain junior female student’s homework papers — and, incidentally, mine too — contained a lot of personal, experiential material, and thus might seem very good and highly original to some teachers, while receiving very, very low grades from others (Lao Yang was definitely thinking of my grade in metaphysics class… ). On the other hand, there are some people who know how to write and produce papers that are proper and standard, and no matter which teacher reads them, they can still get a high score. That is indeed so. A good paper…

Lawns Are Meant to Be Trampled!

Lawns Are Meant to Be Trampled!
It is said that a few days ago there was a dispute on the BBS at Sanjiao Di. It seems a well-meaning student saw many people trampling the landscaped lawn on Peking University’s campus, went over and said a few words, but the other side paid no attention; the student came back and posted on the BBS to denounce them, and later the person who had actually trampled the lawn also went online to reply. Some even said that lawns are precisely for trampling, and so on. Exactly right! Lawns are precisely for trampling! …Why on earth did I actually say something like that? Didn’t I still pride myself on…
