  • April Fool’s Day…

    Life & Notes

    April Fool’s Day…

    Who can tell a lie that can really shock me? I remember that the mildest but most effective lie people used to tell all the time was: “Your shoelace is untied.” Even if the other person was on full guard, they would usually still look down once. A slightly sleazier but based on the same principle one is “Your zipper is down” (only works on guys). It triggers an instinctive reaction; no matter how alert you are, in general you still can’t help glancing down at it~ Legend has it that some Western TV station once broadcast fake news of a Martian invasion on April Fool’s Day, and the result…

    The Classic 28-Inch Bicycle

    Since the start of the semester I have been in a no-bike state: the battered old28 was finally stolen away (the lock had broken and I had ignored it all along, until at last it could not get through the year-end after all…), and if I wanted to buy a brand-new old28, I would need to make an appointment more than two weeks in advance—because that old-fashioned model is no longer produced in large numbers. This model is old-fashioned to the extreme: seehttp://www.cnforever.com/zjyj/i_5_09.htm In May 1962, in order to better meet the performance requirements for load-carrying, and to produce bicycles for the broad masses of peasant friends that met their…

    On the Discussion on the Teachers’ Blogs: The Dirty Books Sold by the Dangdang Online Bookstore

    Dirty Books Sold by Dangdang Online Bookstore 2007-03-19 09:38:15 http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/485ea879010007ez#comment I’ve been a longtime customer of Dangdang Online Bookstore, having purchased books worth several thousand yuan there. According to Dangdang’s existing records online, I have 20 orders in all on Dangdang, of which 19 have been completed, with total spending amounting to 3,225.6 yuan. But recently a very dirty book was delivered in an online book purchase (see below). Earlier, a book that had been soaked in water was also delivered! For Dangdang to treat customers like this is truly not decent. This book was mixed in with a batch of books I bought from Dangdang at the same time,…

    Going to Tsinghua to Hear Teacher Wu Talk About Philosophy of Technology

    Last semester, because I had so many classes on Fridays, I never went to listen to the KeKe Forum, and that dragged me along so that I never quite had the nerve to come to Tsinghua to hear the salon either… This semester I’m planning to show up much more often~ The first time I met Teacher Jiang (in the flesh), my situation was rather embarrassed. Relying on the fact that I had been to Tsinghua a few times before, I didn’t even look at a map, and as a result it took me half an hour just to find the library; after arriving at the library, I then somehow…

    Finally Conquered CET-4

    It seems the Fourth Level exam really is as ridiculously easy as they say… Exam type: > English CET-4 Admission ticket number: > 110010062100828 > Your total score: 539 (More score information…) Listening: 205 Reading: 205 Comprehensive: 54 Writing: 75 Latest comments unic 2007-03-04 15:12:33 Congratulations!! A tutor who once taught me said~ I passed the CET-4 easily~~~~ Who knows~~~ Gu 2007-03-04 18:34:56 This CET-4 thing is just high-school level, more than enough; even someone like me, whose English probably hasn’t even reached the level of the college entrance exam, can still get through it… Little beast 2007-03-10 22:40:40  Sorry, walked into the wrong toilet! No wonder it smells so…

    On CCTV Airing a Paranormal Video

    About CCTV Broadcasting Paranormal Videos I happened to see a QQ News item, http://news.qq.com/a/20070208/000611.htm To say whether what CCTV is promoting is “pseudoscience” is hard to say, but one thing can be certain: it is not promoting science, and even less the spirit of science. I already mentioned the badness of CCTV’s “Exploration·Discovery” program in an earlier article, The Zodiac, Easter Island, and the Predicament of Popular Science. I have always recommended: if you want to know more about science, it is best to watch less television. Whether it is “Exploration·Discovery” or “Discovery,” the contribution to the public understanding of science is probably extremely negative. I am less and less…

    Comments on the Introduction to Religious Studies Course

    I had long wanted to write something to grumble about this course~~ But given that the religious studies introduction course gave me a score of 85.5, I felt satisfied, and so I had no intention of writing anything. But today, seeing the TA on the BBS soliciting “critical suggestions,” I was suddenly inspired, and so I wrote down the things I had originally meant to write…… First let me state clearly: I have great admiration for Professor Wu, and I have also gained a great deal from this course. The comments I want to make are not aimed at the quality of this course itself, but rather at what kind…

    The Lamb Stew Dwelling

    Mutton Soup Dwelling Xing Ding 发表于 2007-01-18 20:14:07 Mutton Soup Dwelling At last I’m connected to the internet; broadband in Beijing isn’t as good as Shanghai’s, and it’s so slow and yet so expensive…… But getting online means I’ve completed the entire grand relocation project! (Of course, the hauling of books is still under way……) I was bound to rent a place for a while sooner or later anyway, especially during that stretch between finishing my undergraduate degree and starting graduate school; my more than two thousand books had to have somewhere to go. And judging by my book-buying trend, the dorm’s capacity is about to be full to bursting,…

    Life & Notes

    The First Snow of 2006.

    Suddenly, so many feelings surged up. I opened the blog, ready to write. And then I found that I was too lazy to write it after all…… Latest comments unic 2006-12-31 23:47:20  “Such feelings may yet be worth recalling later, but at the time one only feels bewildered……” “If you find that you’re too lazy to write it……” — if I analyze that a little, it means you don’t value it enough~~ Write it anyway; what’s the harm if it becomes stream-of-consciousness? No worries, this kind of thing can also be written in a non-public way, heheheehee…… I hope that when the first snow of 2007 comes, you’ll write something….
