Chair

Mathematics is a hard subject. Mathematics is a sedentary job. So, here comes my new chair, my Chinese New Year present to myself :).



My chair at home for comparison :).

Juno

So I watched the movie Juno. Great movie.

I think a great movie is made of 50% driveling and 50% tension. 100% tension movie is unbearable and 100% driveling movie is shallow. Juno got it in this aspect.

What's more? It has its unique aestheticism. From words to music. The urban usage of words always brings life to a movie or TV show I think. Yes, urban but not verbal abuse. Like in "the office", we don't hate "that's what she said". "Freakin' cool" or "have a wicked time" adds much vividness to the characters.

One of my professors at UCSD is a guy from Chicago. He likes all sorts of bad jokes and urban languages. Maybe they should make him a film sometime.

I listened to Moldy Peach's album. Juno took the best I think. Anyone else but you is the best and let's see if I'll find any other good ones.

Finally, Juno is quite cynical which reminds me of myself. I've been staying at English dominating places too much so I haven't been able to radiate my cynicism very much. Well, maybe I should work on being cynical in English. (That's gonna be bad. My parents hate it when I'm being cynical.) Anyways, this line characterizes Juno and I would have totally said that in Chinese- Go Carol!



PS. Thanks for the Happy Chinese New Year note Allison. I had a special one-two midterms on one day :). How's this little movie appreciation post? What's the grade :)
