feedpuppy's 空缺

I know, I know, among all the rebooters, there’s no doubt that my site is sitting at the bottom quietly. That’s why I call the theme Vulgar. But this is my first personal wordpress theme since I began to use wordpress this February, and it is the first time I tried to make a theme from scratch, sort of. So the result is kind of OK for me. I guess it’s not a very very very bad start. The design was inspired by one of my T shirts. I think I will continue using my T shirts as my inspirations in the future@_@.

Of course, there is something I haven’t finished. Basically, everything concerning photos wasn’t finished. I’m trying to use this plugin to show some random photos from my photo gallery powered by ZenPhoto. Somehow, the plugin interfered with the database and some loops would not work any more. Also, the photo page hasn’t been customized yet. Anyway, I’m OK with that though a little bit disappointed.

I think I should use this chance to thank some people. I’m just a starter, and I’m not that creative. Without the tutorials/themes from these people, this site would be much worse. To my credit, I didn’t just stop there. I tried to go a little bit further. @_@v

• 5ThirtyOne & Low End Theory for the toggle shelf.
• Ordered List for the live search.
• WASABI for the comment number as background.
• K2 for the comment form.
• All the scripts and plugins this site is using.

OK, I think that’s it. It was fun.

其实哪，我花了宝贵的时间来做这个鬼东西还是很内疚的，今天又被师兄push，咳，希望明天的考试不会遭报应-_-。

今天在English The Real Deal看到了Murphy’s Law。这条定律是在1949年从美国空军的Capt. Edward A. Murphy口中诞生的，到现在已经有了无数变型和引伸，但中心思想就是一句话：If anything can go wrong, it will。列几条比较基本的，用最近常见到的一个词来形容，这些定律非常死相-_-。

MURPHY’S LAWS

• Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
• If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
• If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
• If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
• Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
• If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
• Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
• Mother nature is a bitch.
• It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
• Everything takes longer than you think.
• Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
• Every solution breeds new problems.

还有一张poster，上面列的几条是相对更生活化的，当然也同样死相，比如The chance of a slice of bread falling butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet（面包掉落有黄油的一面着地的概率正比于地毯的价格）。上面还强调Murphy was an optimist。如果我们已经知道everything will go wrong，那么也就没什么好畏惧的了。所以让我们共同乐观对待这个美好的世界吧，禀承The Murphy Philosophy: Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse. lol

对我来说，多数玩了些叙事手法的电影都有些形式大于内容^[1]，伊莎贝拉也有点。不是说形式大一些就不好，而是这样容易让人的情绪游离在故事之外。其实这不是一个复杂的故事，两个两个人的爱情^[2]。记得那时在北大一个四教还是三教的桌子上看到过一行字，“爱情，不论是幸福还是痛苦，都是享受”。不管什么种类的爱情，不管当中是否有伤害，不管结局是否美满，只要是爱情，都是心底的小财富。片子的一些细节是不错的，但是我仍然希望它能更朴实一点，会更能触动人。杜汶泽和梁洛施都演的挺好，不过为什么我看到梁洛施总是想起黄圣依呢？

1. 顺便提一下，我觉得目前为止形式诡异的电影里和故事最最契合的就是memento了 ↩
2. 不是打错了-_- ↩

我是一个赖床的人，所以闹钟对我来说非常重要，自然响起的歌也需要合适。上一个手机闹钟用的一直是品冠的《起床》，主要觉得名字比较契合，而且旋律很柔和。现在换了新手机也就趁机换首新歌。目前的主打是Kings of Convenience的《I’d Rather Dance With You》，稍微热闹一点哈，毕竟现在每天都需要比较早起，太柔和叫不起我了。KOC是我一直特别喜欢的indie小乐团，两个成员都各有特色，顺便推荐一下他们。

刚从poster session回来，站两个多小时加上讲解真是累啊。给评审讲完后，才有功夫去要了杯红酒，溜达了溜达。虽然最后三个得奖者里没有我，我觉得其实讲的还是不错的，结果公布后一个评审还过来和我握手说我讲的很好，不过大家都很不错，每一组只能选一个冠军，我绝对算是最impressive的之一了，起码这句话可以聊以自慰。而且虽然我没得，至少我们实验室的一个师兄Andy得了，嘿嘿，按照老板的奖金分享提议，Andy已经开始计划周五的小庆祝午餐了。除了评审，还有不少其他人也过来问问题，整体都还不错的样子。今天正好属于英语水平波动周期中的上半部分，所以感觉水平还不错哈。

不管怎样，结束了。继续回来批作业带实验写作业准备期中考试顺便抽时间看电影了。
