那一天晚上， 先听了好几遍平克弗罗依德的comfortably numb 舒适的麻木， 那是周五晚上。第二天周六天空浅灰，海雾弥漫，象纽约的初冬天色。 那一天不想出门。只想接着听音乐。于是这个九月末的周末，我沉浸在Blues 的世界里。也很长时间以来第一次想要写点什么。因为这个周末，我真正的被乡村蓝调深深的无名的感动--虽然以前也喜欢, 佛找到了失落已久的东西，却发现它一直在心里的什么地方。也许写下这些文字，我会接近或找到这种感动的真正源头。我不知道从平克弗罗依德到蓝调的必然联系，但我很快发现平克弗罗依德的名字正是两位北卡罗莱纳州山地蓝调乐手名字的组合，平克安德森(Pink Andersen)和弗罗依德康索尔(Floyd Council)。知道自己喜欢蓝调还是在孟菲斯的时候，那时经常去比尔(Beale)街的布鲁斯酒吧听歌，看密西西比河浩浩流过，那是孤寂而单纯的日子。也是刚刚离开校园，

Kept on hearing about the album Blue by Joni Mitchell, from the film The Kids Are All Right, which I really like, from an article about this British song writer, who stayed inside and listening for Blue for 6 months straight. And on to Youtube, I found this live performance of her of the song California in Oct 1970. I love it and want to share the lyrics with my photos of Blue found here in San

While flying over the vast land of California, from South to the North, I saw the mountain tops change from red and bear to green and wooded, each with immense beauty and deep silence. I thought whether pilots assume certain air of nobleness because they are blessed with God's view. And I picked up that little selection of poems from years ago. And these words are there, waiting to be uttered. *

I now live in a city that is known for its sunshine and having the coldest winter on earth--that being its summer time. But I will now give it another name, it is the city of fog and mist. Like a maiden's veil that can be parted by tenderly hands, morning Sun usually blows the fog away and the Bay Bridge is visible again from my Balcony. This morning even the office buildings outside my windows

I was crossing the Embarcadero, a cup of coffee in hand. Slowly, painfully, but surely, I have begun to settle in my little routine on the northeast tip of the land mass that is called the city of San Francisco.Opposite to the promise of California Sunshine, it has mostly been rainy and cloudy the past 3 weeks. Sometime it poured. It felt darker and rainier for me. I was very alone, espeically

节日和原一起去大都会博物馆, 看到扬州八怪之一的罗聘书画展，很喜欢这两幅的构图和色彩。以IPHONE纪录下来，还发了一张给加州的朋友。看到郑板桥的那幅字，“知君本是素心人”，如此豪迈的笔力，起句却如此婉约，更加喜欢这一句。三百年后，素心人仍是难得的境界。这偶遇，让人惊喜。

I chose an isolated seat at the bar and put my little book on the counter. The book is The "Long Days Journey into Night" by Eugene O’neill. Somehow, the book, with the Scotch glass on the otherwise whitewashed cover, seems out of the place on this bar counter, for here it is in the mid of an hotel restaurant at West Lafayette, Indiana, not the suburbs of New England or Bistros of New York.Sure

I was drinking and dancing that night at the club space of the hotel, with the crew of Canadian, American and Chinese. The hotel, surrounded by mountains in that Western China province, was booked out by the film project and we were partying almost every night. I was a little drunk.While I finally sat down to catch my breath in a corner sofa, I felt I was being looked at, I realized a man sitting

We were looking at a peculiar number at some search marketing reports in my office, suddenly he said: "Oh, did Jackson just die? My wife just texted me"."Michael Jackson?" I gasped.

The title of this post, is inspired by Haruki Murakami's short story named, "The Year of Spaghetti" (The New Yorker, November 21, 2005). The year he referred to is 1971. The year 1971 is the year of Spaghetti of Murakami, I like that. In it, he cooks the pasta alone, eats alone, gets a phone call from an ex-girl of his friend who asked about his friend's whereabout. It is a story when nothing

"To hear that voice, one must enter the tiny chambers and corners of the city, live the city's unpeopled interior and well-girded solitude. And what is even more admirable, explore one's own intimacy, one's own secret, taking a definitively lyrical perspective on things." This is Lorca talking about his beloved Granada, but it also applies to all the cities that we have visited and felt

在西村West Village 逛，无意中走到久违的Film Forum，纽约那家专门放艺术电影，非营利性的影院。 因为非赢利，所以才会放很多真正经典的作品， 不靠发行商和市场。也因此有很多外国电影，带英文字幕。他们每个月放三部电影。今天放的电影之一是LEON MORIN，PRIEST，神父穆林，一部法国黑白片。我开始不知道导演让-皮埃尔-梅尔维尔(jean pierre melville)是谁。海报上的男主角是年轻的让-保罗-贝尔蒙多(jean-paul-belmondo)。他眼神忧郁，坚毅， 穿着神父的白领黑衣。那个故事是讲二战时期的法国。小小的影院里已经排了长队。我犹豫着是否挑一个晚上等朋友一起看，外面是纽约第一个美丽的春天的下午，阳光如水。我走出影院，但贝尔蒙多的眼神仿佛已经穿透了我，那是对自己的魅力不自知的自信和温柔但不容犹豫的要求，那是”精疲力尽(Breathless)”

Twenty years ago today, Hai Zi chose to leave. His poems and words, full of color, sound and passion and longing for the faraway lands, have made him one of our most intimate speakers among that generation of Chinese, of touchable pain and aloneness of youth, and that longing of unknown coming days with nameless excitement and fear.So this is for him, that timid, short and skinny law school

The part of Bleecker street I used to frequent has changed. My favorite Cafe Figaro is gone, on its site, a too bright Mexico eat-out is established. But the music in Blue Note Jazz club is still as enjoable to listen to, as the tight sitting space and too many people ordering food during the performance.

After walking around the Upper West side for 3 hours checking out apartments, I was starving at 7:15PM. I was walking along Amsterdam and high 80s and walked into the cafe I always wonder about, the airy and country farm looking Le Pain Quotidien on the sourth west corner of 84th. I knew nothing about it except it seems inviting when I walk by it. They have bread and cakes in their glass counter,

There have been more greyness and cloud in the sky of LA in these days, so I take the liberty to record the city in black and white. But it is also because I feel that although the world is colorful in its existence, we see the world more clearly in black and white, by reducing some information or turning down the volume, as if, in the purity of feeling of love, that it speaks more clearly

为了庆祝春节，想写一下我这次回国的一个经历，喜欢上了一个角（JUE），那是程派的传人张火丁。不过是偶然陪爸妈看电视的时候，看了她在锁麟囊里的唱段， 一下被打动了。我受不了梅派，属于象鲁迅在社戏里讲的，伊呀的唱听着要打哈欠，但程派却是柔中带钢，温婉清丽，张火丁正是这样的人品。生活里沉默寡言，但内蕴深厚。嗓音陈厚，委婉，清晰。程砚秋当年的扮相也是动人。　或许他们的沉稳婉约是对当今中国浮躁喧嚣的一种反讽，我觉得这才是中华文化的精华，大气，淡定，从容，悲而不伤。那是东方之美的完美诠释。去北京的时候，也看了梅兰芳大剧院当时的演出目录，没有张火丁，后来知道她在济南曾经作过专场演出，为济南的戏迷高兴。我不是特爱看戏的，但是读红楼梦的时候，特爱看他们在家里请戏班唱戏的那些细节。贾母在听戏上还是蛮有品位的，只用萧管，隔着水听，也是一种简单自然。贾宝玉听戏完全没有主见。黛玉听得都是戏外的心曲，只除了隔墙听“

Color coordinated of two separate scenes on the corner of 34 street and 8th avenue. The winding Great Wall like Gator's hands took me a good 30 seconds to fathom. Who created this ad, although it is perfect for that part of the city, especially when you look up toward Time Square. And the slim heels of a lady who makes me worry her balance. She dares to challenge the limit of height and color,

Toronto is cold and near the north shore, lake Ontario is starkly beautiful and wavy, its banks covered with ice and snow. Finally saw Bing and Xianming's "babies" in Toronto, and there are lots and lots of them. They taste professional, and professionally Pale Ale, and smooth, depite being homely brewed.

On Jan 5th, 1995, I flewed from Beijing to Detroit, then to Rochester, New York, a timid, nervous girl, wearing too many layers.And I donated $50 out of the $700 total I brought with me, which was supposed to last me 2 months all inclusive, to some stranger man in the airport who is soliciting donations with a pad, just becuase I wanted to be nice to the first American who talked to me once I

The year passed by like water flowing over deep green river bed, clear, swift, or like a movie, now showing in front of me.

Merry Christmas to you. New York is warm and wet for this Christmas. The rain is like warm tears from lovers that suddenly remembered, like late afternoon, pre Christmas eve drinks of lonely and lovely souls when hearts are touched, comics shared, and signs of love just become a possibility, if just an unawared intention, and Murakami is both a subject and a language.Enjoy Yeats, in the original

So I found it. This time, when I walked in, it is right there: Yellow lable, Sole Goat on it, South African, $9.99.Little further research revealed some warm and funny stories of how this wine came into being since 1999. And I like labels that tell stories.

Yixin and Hai graciously invited our friend Dave and me over for Dinner and Wii after we saw Hai's photo exhibition. While Hai and Yixin were cooking, Dave and I offered to go get some wine.

The stone windows of Ankor Wat are very time consuming to build, carved out of single piece of stone with limited tools. Its elegant curve were realized by varying diameters of the largely circular column, thus completely round in all instant and angle. But when light goes through it, the shadow of columns becomes pointed. This reveals the truth when natural and humanly artistic wonder meet,

My life once in this city seems so far away, it seems strange to me, nothing is linked to the past anymore. It is new to me, I am new to it as well. We don't recognize each other. When I saw this structure in my cab, my breath stopped a little. This is an added memory, an acquired taste. My heart is not aching for this city, it still aches for the city far away, but somehow, this view, touches me

After some random statics in FM, he put into a new album. The voice and tune

In the Safeway check out line, the young cash register guy of this lovely American city was very warm to me. How are you doing tonight? Fine. How about you. You know, I wish I can go home asap. He sighed, in the mood for small talk. Then he began to ring things up--I have not got that many stuff: Two peaches, a small box of melon fruits (obviously it seems I am eating healthy and soft), and FOUR

One day I stuck in the traffic of Vancouver for 4 hours, because one of the bridge linking North Shore to downtown was closed. They have only two bridges (that matters for me in this case), in comparison to 8+ (approximiately) in New York who also has tunnels, water taxi, and subway. Next day I found out it was because a woman threatens to jump off the Iron Worker's Memorial Bridge--communist

He is not a good politician, or maybe he is a good one, and smart too. What is with people who write well and speak well, and play with the card dealt with him calmly, who do not want to be your usual politically correct politicians.Unlike usual politicians, he has guts.To admit that you won't be able to disown a liability that will potentially ruin his political career needs courage and honesty

Paranoid park (迷幻公园) is directed by Gus Van Sant, who made "My own private Idaho", yet most famsouly for "Good Will Hunting". His subject is mostly about youth and the pain of finding the way in growing up, mostly they never did. Lot of his movies are set in Pacific Northwest, espeically Portland. Portland, where he lives, where everyone goes. And the cinemographer, is no other than Christipher

If you can guess what is that little black spot under the sun track, I will give you a prize. After looking at the wrong spots and guessed things like: trees without enough sunlight, street lamps, people, albatrass finally accpeted for what it is. He then suggested the invert color, it really works well-- the very bright city above, and the very dark city, below.

东区克林顿山，颜色浓烈，也是穷艺术家聚集的地方。这个黑白格的房子，真是相当大胆的设计，忘了她的用途，在阳光下，颇有超现实的风格新旧的交替，在这里凝固，这个转角的楼，在下午有充足的阳光。白楼的正面，是大胆的天蓝色附近很可爱的一家咖啡馆， 砖墙 上挂的画，很干净，强烈，三明治和咖啡， 都很地道。

真困，一大清早跑去MOMA， 瞻仰Richard Serra 铸铁雕塑，看到头昏，又按例看了一遍摄影展，黑白小照片 几百张，出来是纽约的艳阳天、仿佛隔世。拎着午餐，夹着纽约时报的艺术和出游版，在中央公园的长椅上，坐定两个小时，边读边晒太阳。后去时代华纳的书店找一本西部短篇小说集，看评论觉得有武侠气氛，未果。清理房间，以备访客。觉得应该去沿河骑车， 但困意浓厚。晚上要与几个朋友玩扑克，或许会开那瓶红酒。老板的老板发电邮，夸奖工作出色，我想，既然如此如果能奖励几张美国公开赛的票就好了，不象有的样子，只好自己上网找。夏天的节日周末，纽约很是安静，美丽。

很忙碌的周末，接连三天在纽约大学上课。而这个二月初的星期也是这个冬天最冷的。纽约上州安大略湖边下了近9英尺的大雪。 想到十二年前的这个冬天，正是刚刚到达罗切斯特的时候，那时的我确实还是个孩子。把罗大佑的之乎者也放起来。恋曲一九八零的前奏充满了小屋。口琴的自在和无忌仿佛少年脸上的笑容。我走到窗前，看九大道上依然热闹的街景。 “爱情这东西我明白，但永远是什莫”。我知道，将进酒和光阴的故事，还在后面。所以，继续站在窗前。觉得温暖，觉得明白。

A goblin shark -- a rarely seen species often called a "living fossil" -- was caught alive in Tokyo Bay but died after being put on display, an aquarium said.Resembling pre-historic sharks, goblin sharks live on deep sea bottoms. Little is known about their lives. The last sentence makes me want to be a goblin shark in my next life, if only to know.

篝火，围坐在火边的人们，喜欢的人们和爱着的人们。过去的，现在的和未来的。或者，不需太多。 要在春天或秋天的郊野。夜晚。所以我不喜欢热带的海。或者炎热的夏夜。我只是要在微微带着凉意的夜里的一点红色的温暖的火光.或者在有炉火的木屋里，围坐喝一壶烧酒，听一段深山野狐的故事。窗外风声飒然，忽然有人敲门，说是大雪压住了断树，下山的路不通了。冬夜里的酒吧， 三两个酒客，彼此无语，窗外雪花飘零。忧郁的酒保土突然放一杯威士忌在你面前，说，请你的。然后自己坐回到黑暗的影子里去。轻轻拿手指敲着吧台，仿佛打着节奏。我在冬天是一个快乐的人。并且喜欢听故事，谁来讲一段？很久没有在这里写了，仿佛拿起一把老口琴，放在唇边，轻轻吹一两声。于是，那心肠又回来了。

两年前这个晚上，我独自等在肯尼迪机场，前往巴黎。巴黎的美丽和在我心中留下的感动让我不能决定什莫时候才能再次回到那里。仿佛初次相逢的记忆，仍然不愿意被新的记忆取代。我的巴黎游记一直没有写完，但两年前手写的一部分，我会在这里输入。那也是在温润的秋天，一如今天。有雨的巴黎别有风致。虽然以浪漫著称，一个人的巴黎也是可爱的。自由而充实的心，让沉默也变得富有内容。想念着那个城市和我在那里想念着的--你那边几点？那个电影，卢森堡公园， 伯德莱尔的雕像。

Every Photo, every "Once" in time is also the beginning of a story starting "Once Upon a time". Every photo is the first frame of a movie. Wim Wenders said so in his photo book Once.I like the "the stillness of a moment" captured by the frame of a photographer. For, the moment, unless it is posed, can not be repeated. But I am not sure, it always promises "once upon a time". Some occasions are

If you read Proust, of course you know about the cookie and immensing it in the tea, the taste in your mouth, what bring you closer to the time you were.I guess I was wrong lately in saying that food and taste does not bring intimacy, it does, but not the one who makes it, necesarily, it is to the one who feels it, it is to your self. So ultimately, joy from food and taste is a lonely

想写一个好玩的题目，于是想起这首我唯一堪称拿手的歌， 也是我深爱的。 歌里的那种心情，是淡淡的喜悦和明白。 纽约的九月已经过去了，不知不觉。在中央公园里散布的我，从不穿高跟鞋。无意中走入中城的一个酒吧，居然看到很久没有见到的以前的同事。 他是从苏格兰回来度假的。吃午饭的时候，看到远远的一个人，是以前的同学吧。不熟，所以没有上前招呼。一个星期里看到两次住在同一街区的同事，过去一年里都不曾碰到过。这些日子有些特别吧。在唐人街的一个街角，看到一个中年男子，应该是偷渡客。黝黑，瘦小，面目颇为丑陋，但他在开心地笑，牙齿并不整洁。 他的笑容如此灿烂，我看到他，不觉也微笑了。我发现自己从未像现在意识到对待生活的豁达，从容和幽默，是真正可贵的品质。在镜子里对自己微笑的时候，我知道过去的我并不美丽，因为我把太多愤怒积压在心里，写在脸上。这些日子，我会把笑容和香奈尔的口红随身携带。也许，因为是秋天，

从小就喜欢大明湖的荷花和荷叶，最近去布朗克斯的植物园，看到不同种的莲与菏. 那种清静的美，是一样的。让人有一点怀旧，想起童年和少年，在济南的日子。等着长大的日子。这个周末难得与Albatross 夫妻和兄妹相聚，四个济南人在纽约把酒言欢，十年二十年前，并没有想到会发生。就像没有想到可以在纽约看到喜爱的荷花，那也是难得的缘分。因为没有期待，所以分外惊喜。

周末在世界书局买了两本书，算是破例，因为觉得家里空间太小，已经是不可以再买了。但这两本书我无法抗拒。夜读博尔豪斯的传记，直到凌晨。 两个同时代的大师，都以短小说传世，把他们放在一起，觉得此生有幸。我是爱听故事的人，这两个大师的故事，堪称卓绝。这是一个小引，我接下来会试着写下我与他们的相遇（这句话师承博尔豪斯，多被余华引用）。-
