Let go my inhibition

我今天晚上回家一鼓作气解决了两个问题，第一把我车上的Homelink和我的车库门遥控接收器连上了，这样我就不用再携带车库自己的遥控器在车上了。



第二就是我终于让环绕立体声系统后面的几个音箱响了，同时电视的音效也可以通过环绕立体声系统输出。原来一直只有前面的四只音箱响，今天终于给我弄清楚了。原来我这么能干，只不过原来借口没时间不愿意去试罢了。




只可惜门前的两个小松树快活不成了，好心疼啊，那么贵买来的，都是我照顾不周 :(

最近比较depressed, 贴个简单好玩的图片

Something to look forward to

许久以来好像找来种种借口挤占自己的休闲时间，以至于生活失去的往昔的光彩。其实如果仔细想想，原来有很多乐趣呢，怎么都忘了呢？ 球天的时候可以踢球啊，在老张带领下学习的半生不熟的手艺也有点荒废了，每周去挥洒一下体力也还惬意呢。秋高气爽的时候还可以去blue grass农场小路上biking，只不过要重新组建队伍了。还有周围的几个不错的Park只是念叨都没去过。冬天可就有事干了，去年买的season ticket可以派上用场了。滑雪已经没有太多挑战了（而且上次上太陡的坡还是有点伤到膝盖了），主要学习滑板吧。据说附近北卡海边可以冲浪，smoky mountain可以漂流，今年都不成了，列在明年的计划当中吧。

嗯，忙里偷闲，有挑战性，但值得期盼。

久旱逢甘霖

莱屯终于下雨了--让我觉得兴奋。我门前的花草还有救吗？

今天的fortune cookie说“you think too much. today means action. carry out your plan"，我的天哪正中要害。 同事的fortune更惨，说有一个unexpected bill降至，不是什么欠下的旧账保险单什么的吧？

at the dawn of a new semester.

the beginning of a fall semester is the business time of the year. Excitingness of seeing some new faces, rush of information, stress from preping the courses. The air is fresh and tense.

If i look back on what academics are all about, I found it was somewhat different from what i originally thought. Initially i thought it is a contrast from the outer world. But i found out that being a scholar is very much like being an entrepreneur. Except we work not in the product space, but in the idea space. Marketing is as important as in the business world, though it is done somewhat differently. Some parts of it pulls me, such as exchanging of ideas, other parts push me, such as being a sales representative for myself, and having to spend lots of time on packaging an idea after it has been "done."
