內舉不避親 外舉不避嫌

民主政治一向是台灣最引以為傲的成就。然而花蓮縣縣長傅崐萁，卻做了最糟糕的示範。

傅崐萁在上一次花蓮縣縣長選舉代表親民黨，準備和前任縣長謝深山一較高下。最後，不敵國民黨在花蓮縣根深蒂固的樁腳集團，高票落選。後來，傅崐萁加入國民黨，任花蓮縣的立法委員。此次花蓮縣的縣長選舉，因傅崐萁有案在身（內線交易：一審判刑四年六個月及高院更一審判刑四年）故未獲得國民黨提名。傅以無黨籍參選，以56.37％高票當選花蓮縣長。

昨日在縣長就職典禮上，傅崐萁任命其『前妻』徐榛蔚為副縣長。
若傅崐萁二審定讞需發監服刑，則其妻可接任縣長一職延續其政治優勢以及鞏固既有的樁腳。如此骯張猖狂，令人做噁的事，在台灣的地方政治上，並非首見。前台東縣長鄺麗貞也是相同的情形。

早年每到選舉的時候，就會有候選人以『選上過關，落選被關』來激起民眾對於白色恐怖的想像，儘管候選人本身並非因為政治因素而遭起訴。代夫或是代父出征，出來參選公職的也比比皆是。這樣的政治語言一而再，再而三的傷害台灣司法體系的威信和聲望，時至今日，大部分的人質疑司法的公正。

台灣的民眾到底在想什麼？為什麼一次又一次地讓這些地方派系把持？
傅崐萁，請不要為了個人的政治私利，踐踏台灣的民主政治，民主政治並不是這樣讓人做地分贓。

Is it bad that I am wondering the possibility of J cheating?
Cheating might be a strong word, let me rephrase it.
Is there a possibility that J feels attracted by someone?
At this very moment I know that he is with his family.
Somehow I sense something is going on though I don't know what it is yet.
My sixth sense has always been incredible.
Not that I am psyched, there were a few times when I was totally clueless.
However, when I sensed it, I was usually on the right track.

I am bleeding, inside and out.

The fact that we can never trust each other hurts my heart.
It is too naive and innocent to believe such urban legend that you can fully trust a person.
I understand it perfectly but it doesn't diminish my desire at all.
What I want is an open and honest relationship which you can trust each other.
Who am I trying to fool?
I can't even get pass the idea myself.
All I need is less reason and more passion.

I am getting old.
I can see a pattern that I always fall into.
Never thought that I would have a type.
I like the nice guy type!
J, you are so nice and I love you!

I am very touched and inspired by Willa Cather.
She once advert "The qualities of a second-rate writer can easily be defined, but a first-rate writer can only be experienced. It is just the thing in him which escapes analysis that makes him first-rate."
What is my special quality?
What sets me different from others?

壓力好大。。
感覺自己像是一隻在壓力鍋中的土雞，
天啊！
再五分鐘，我就要全身癱軟，從頭到腳，化為一碗雞湯。

The act of missing or thinking about someone constantly.

Missing someone or something is a very unique feeling.
You thought you miss someone but when the oppertunity presents itself.
The silence in the air indicates something is "missing" .
Over rated seems to be the prefect caption.

Alice

最近瘋狂迷上PPS 每天不斷streaming....
真是懶惰者的無間地獄 (或者天堂??!)

所以今天要來介紹一下新片
Syfy於 2009年 12月6日推出的miniseries: Alice.

原本以為這一部想要搶搭 Tim Burton艾莉絲夢遊仙境便車的模擬之作
沒想到大出我的意料之外 是一部科幻版的艾莉絲夢遊仙境
我一口氣把兩集看完，情節緊湊而且十分有創意。

內容描述Alice Hamltion的男友被不明人士綁架，Alice 試圖搶救回自己心愛的人。距離上一次凡人進入仙境已經過了150年，這150年來，仙境起了巨大的變化，跟童話故事版本裡的仙境大有不同。
（就說到這裡，免得破壞了觀賞的樂趣）

Alice由Caterina Scorsone 飾演。
又是一枚所謂精靈系的女演員。







Hatter 由 Andrew Lee Potts飾演，
聽說他也有演Primaltive 不過不是我的菜。
Hatter在裡面搶盡風采，和Disney卡通裡面的hatter 大不相同喔！

同場加映：
Alice in wonderland, 大家小時候所看的Disney版本，其實不只是改編自Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland（1865），還同時加入了 Through the Looking-Glass (1871)。其實兩本書的編排頗為類似，Through the Looking-Glass 絕非狗尾續貂之作，而是補足前作之不足。

Keen Sense

Someone once said the keen senses would direct you to the right path of writing. Description is the key in all writing

First, I have to confess. There is no such person who said so, there might be someone there actually said so but there wasn't actually someone who told me so. For some reason, it seems easier to have my point across by referencing to authority. Erik and professor Yang both noticed that horrible characteristic I have. It could be a sign of my insufficient confidence. Erik once told me, if it is a good idea, none cares whether Foucault felt the same about it. I need to have more confidence in myself and be more bold!

Anyways, back to our original topic-keen senses. Too much details could be a downer for writing , however, with moderate usage it could be amazing. Take Eileen Chang for example, she never failed to surprised her readers with the enormous amount of detailed description to the environment characters were in. Somehow when I close my eyes, I can travel back in time and be there in the story.

I do believe I have keen senses although it doesn't mean that I can produce great description. I can hear the most irrelevant insignificant sound in daily life. For instance, I love to hear that tiny sounds of how electricity travel through the wires, it's like the mixture of sizzling hot iron plate and the rattle snakes.

What can you hear?

Weirdness

It's strange how similar we are.
Although we didn't even try to be, our life and routine have become a lot mroe similar than we knew.
As years gone by, maybe we will eventually be the same.

So lost with the whole Bluetooth thing.........
Anyone out there who can help?

Let there be lightt.

Here is what I realized today.

I love my table light a lot more than my chandelier.
I love the way my table light shines on me and my laptop.
I love how the table light had been in our family for as long as I can remeber.
After we replaced the old paper shade with new ones, it didn't change anything about the light, only makes it better and cleaner.
The mixture of great design and the sense of history.
I guess the greatest design is the one that is timeless and classic.
Even after 20 some years, it still looks better than ever.
Sometime I am considering taking it whereever I go.
You can say I am sentimental in some ways.
However, I felt maybe I am simply being more impersionist.
After all, without light, there is nothing.

I miss you.
I have no idea how hard life could be without you and you were simply gone for a while.
Everything seems so dull without your presence.
I understand that you have lots of thing on your plate right now.
Just want you to know that there is someone here thinking about you.

Remember how I always say that I am perfect content with myself and I don't need other people for companionship.
I was wrong.
The reason that I don't need others is because I have you.
Not being able to talk to you and driving me crazy.
You are the only thing in my life right now that can keep my sanity.

I miss you.
