Story Telling

一位青年想看星球大战,尤其想在家里电视上随时看。

买盗版DVD/正版蓝光,这是中国/美国普通青年。

找怀旧电影院/酒吧看,这是文艺青年。

创办一家科技公司,管理广告投放播放权等等一堆乱七八糟的事儿,然后把服务卖给各大媒体公司和各大视频网站,最后可以用X种交费方法在Y种设备上免费看带20分钟广告的版本。。。这就是贵司的story,什么青年我就不说了。

 

Took another wisdom tooth out

Yesterday, at Garden Dental Arts again. Surprisingly cheap, 16.80$.

Then I realized my teeth count is less than my age now…

Recent Watching TV Series

Still following TBBT, not that interesting anymore after watching 5 seasons. It’s just a habit to follow it.

“The Game of Thrones” is the hot one now. I’ve been enjoying it a lot, to see characters and plots in book picturized. Xw doesn’t like it very much though, as the TV series get rid of too many stories from the book.

“The Office” is a good one recommended by Netflix. We watched 2 episodes and found it very hilarious. People in my office look much more reasonable compared to those weirdos in this TV serial.

北京爱情故事(Beijing Love Story)……I can’t fucking believe I’m watching it!!!

冰火第五部

经过长达数月(可能得有半年。。)的阅读,终于在上周读完。大部分是在地铁上用手机Kindle App读完的。这书在iPhone Kindle上长达两万多页,囧。有一次在地铁上看见一个女生捧着第五部的原书在读才知道这书这么厚。而且词汇对我来说还是很难的。。基本上每页都会有不认识的词,虽然也可以跳过不认识的词来读,但大部分时候还是不停的查。好在有触摸屏查词还比较方便。

读英文版的感觉跟读中文版还是有些不一样。感觉好像写得更细致了,其实应该是因为读得慢所以读得更细致了。不过有些章节人名跟以前读的前四部中文版对不上的时候真是一头雾水。

以下轻度剧透

First Dental Experience in US

My top wisdom tooth was broken 2 weeks ago, actually right after I had that wonderful pizza. A small piece of it fell off. Then the sharp edge at the broken place had been bothering me until this morning.

I found a list of dentists on AETNA(the insurance company) website, then picked a close one based on reviews on Yelp. On Tuesday I called them and made an appointment on Thursday.

The treatment experience was better than I expected. I got the broken wisdom tooth extracted, then took a teeth cleaning. I had been worrying if it would be super expensive or the doctor/hygienist would be inexperienced. It turned out those worries were nonsense. They have very good manners and skills. No pain at all when the doctor took out the tooth. And the cost is just about 60$ (teeth cleaning covered by insurance).
