Book Recommend
过年在家养身体，躺床上无聊，多半拿书来打发时间。看了点闲书，推荐几本：
《天地有大美》蒋勋著
这本书会教会你如何从生活的 ‘衣，食，住，行’中去找到和享受生活的美。多少让忙乱步调的现在人，寻找些情感的释放和生活的平静。
书里有句话说的挺有道理的：
汉字里有个字是非常应该去反省的，
就是“忙”字。
“忙”是“心”加上死亡的“亡”，
当心死亡的时候，就是在忙碌的一个状态。
《中国美术史》 还是蒋勋著
从小到大，上过的艺术史课无数，现在能记住的，除了考试要考的那些知识之外，实在想不起多少，看的美学书也挺多，倒不是写的不好，但多半还是偏理论，看着看着就打瞌睡，能用的上的也实在寥寥无几。
而这本书正和书的封面上写得： 九至九是九岁读者适合阅读 一样，深入浅出地把传统文化介绍给大家。让我感觉回到London学堂里上culture study一样，老师在幻灯机前讲着那些名作背后的故事。
常在欧洲旅行的时候看到博物馆或画廊里，有老师带着幼稚园的小孩，在各幅名画前席地而坐地上课。那时我都会和朋友说，这些孩子太幸福了，西方国家用一点不艰深的方式把最好的东西都传给下一代了。不过本书也多半可起到点这个作用，增加许多古典美学亲和力。
《中国触动全球》张维为著
独具慧眼看待中国这30年的发展，政治评论少说，大家看书去吧，很不错！

An interesting story
收到封有意思的邮件，全文如下：
A man sat at a metro stationn in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?

Dreaming......
整个一月，得了场病，弄的自己像个病痨似的，天天嗑药，擦药，疼的半死，还得加班到天明，怎一苦字了得……
回顾我的鼠年，恍恍忧忧的，08年事情特别多，好的坏的，一转眼都是过眼烟云。年头和年尾各生一场病，怎一个‘背’字了得
农历新年将近，唯一的盼头就是身体好起来，能出去晒个太阳，去去这冬天的酶味~~~，和女友盘算着去泰国的计划，这美丽的海滩，我何时才能躺入你的怀抱呀？？？期待中。
I have been talking about traveling in Thailand in last 3years. I am missing the blue sky and lovely sunshine, also my Thai friends. I really hate the winter in shanghai, especially I was sick during last few weeks. Making plans for my next trip, hopefully the dream will come true!

Japan-Kyoto
京都龙安寺，这个禅宗的小寺院，以方丈南面的山水枯庭院而闻名天下。
因为设计此庭院的作者不明，所以构思设计的意图始终是个迷，众说纷纭。
寺院的简介上写着静坐其庭院前，可有禅宗冥想的效果。
所以，寺院的走廊上坐了很多老外，大多若有所思的样子，有点黑色幽默的效果。
西方人对东方文化的好奇，不知如何亲近，懵懵懂懂，在那体现的淋漓尽致。

赚来的周末
我已经很久没在家过周末了，难得这个周末可以在家，觉得像赚来的一样。
所以一口气看了点已经落了一层灰的小说，和5个电影 。和爸妈吃了好几次饭，聊了很久的天。
春天已经来了很久，我也没好好欣赏过满院子的花，早上抱着咖啡杯，坐在花园啃面包，听我妈在耳边唠叨，心想生活还真是美好。
我从来不爱看小说，原因是初中上课时，在桌子底下看了太多，后来再看别的，和喊的上名的一比都不觉得咋样。《暧昧纯友谊》是本英国小说，而且故事发生在London，书里很多场景我都知道，有点怀念，此书很适合女生拿来消遣一下。一看书名就知道。
小成本电影《Juno》是个美丽的story。和春天温和的阳光相得益彰。
