Comment te dire adieu/さよならを教えて by 藤岡亜弥

晚上在book-off偶然翻到的,没有买,于是一直纠结到现在。在amazon上翻了一下,发现价格已经被炒到了定价之上,决定明早赶紧去把那本买下来。

就像amazon上有人评论的:「図書館で読んで涙が流れた。写真集で泣くなんて初めての経験だった。」「悲しいとき、これを読む。同じような心情の人が世界中にいるような気がしてなぜか暖かく救われた気持ちになる。」

样片在作者的主页出版商的网页上可以看到。版权相关,就不转载了。图片之外,Text也写得很动人。明天能拿到书的话再来详细说。

说说我记得的凡尔赛宫花园(4) - Le Bassin d'Apollon

//越来越懒了呀... 还有3节,一定要写完!

(图片引自insecula

Le Bassin d'Apollon,如名称所述,是太阳神阿波罗驾着四匹马从海中跃出,向着东方太阳升起的方向飞驰的形象。阿波罗的身边还跟随着四只鲸鱼和四个人身鱼尾的海神侍从triton。

这个喷泉位于凡尔赛宫正面的草坪绿毯的尽头,十字大运河的起点处,可谓整个花园中最重要的喷泉之一。水池的地势低于宫殿的地基平面,从宫殿二层正面的镜厅或者宫殿前的平台上眺望时,视觉上的空间感因此得到了更大的延伸。

太阳神阿波罗喷泉由Jean-Baptiste Tuby设计,建于1662年,取代了之前在同一位置的一个圆形水池。喷泉雕像完成于1671年,材质一说为铜制,一说为铅制镀金。

这里有一个从各个角度观赏le Bassin d'Apollon的视频可以在线观看。

最后还是放一张我自己实地拍的:

日光

日光之所以有名八成应该是因为那堆世界文化遗产的寺庙和神社。在日本,有神社的地方自然少不了鸟居。日光的路口也有这么一座,过了鸟居就相当于进入了“神圣”的领域。


其实日光最好的地方是那个湖。有了湖立刻就让山色生动了起来。湖光山色,没有湖的话再好的山景也要失色大半。正巧赶上天色不甚好,云层很好,但正因为这样,偶尔从云缝里透出的一线光就形成了宛如实质的神光。果然是神的领域。

湖里还有人在钓鱼,穿着几乎及肩高的防水服,站在水中央抛竿。大多数人似乎都是单纯享受垂钓的乐趣而已,钓上一条之后量量长度,拍张照片,然后就又扔回水里了。有时候我很好奇被扔回去的那条鱼会不会过一会傻乎乎地又上钩了....

寺庙神社一段很多人都去过,写了不少游记攻略,这里就先略过不提了。值得一提的是离日光不远的鬼怒川,这里有很多温泉旅馆,就在河边的山上,从温泉浴室里推窗望去就是悬崖下的一条碧水和远处的山影,很赞。

March snow@Tokyo

Il a neigé à Tokyo, encore une fois...


春天天气不好的时候我就会很低落,就像S说的,我们是植物,需要阳光以进行合成快乐元素的光合作用。而且还是很不经风雨的温室植物,呼,不过我原以为温室会更舒服一点的...

没有杨柳轻风拂面的3月已经足够令人沮丧,再加上罕见的3月雪就愈发打不起精神。昨天晚上临睡前偶然注意到某人居然狠心地把我踢出了gtalk好友名单,真是冤呀~~ 看,立刻下雪了吧... 一直觉得我的stalker还是当得不错的,不离不弃,然而同时也保持了相当的距离。不过看来某些幸福的人对于手里的幸福非常非常珍惜,非常非常小心谨慎,还是坚定地把我当做潜在危险因素排除了。做事做得这么绝,真的不怕遭报应么?不太理解-___-

其实我也很幸福,而且我希望这份幸福会很鲁棒,不需要那么小心翼翼以防夭折。有些东西恐怕就像3月雪,不是可以轻易预测的。

Run! 10/02/20 退步...

春节回了趟北京,歇了快三周没跑,结果就是大退步... 4.8km/35min,而且跑完了之后胃和嗓子都觉得不舒服,估计是回程的一段逆风跑喝了点冷风的缘故。人生凄苦啊!

希望天气快快暖和起来!

Run! 10/01/31 First 10km match

Getting up at 6am to run a 10km match is a disaster. Though the result turned out to be quite acceptable for me (59'20''), it takes me the whole afternoon and evening to recover. Maybe I should slow down and spend 10 more minutes to make myself feel better afterwards. I felt cold during the last 500 meters, which never happened during practice.

Anyway, the whole run was not bad :) And I decided to simply call off the half next month. I am not ready at all, and I must protect my ankle carefully for the performance in August. On pointe is not a joke neither.

5.?:上海世博会
7.4:箱根美术馆

Run! 10/01/23 prepare for longer distance

Tried for a full circle between the two bridges over Tama River, but skipped the 0.7kmx2 from home to running trail. 7.1km/47min, which is approximately 9km/h, so I should be able to finish 10km in 1.5 hour with no big problem next weekday. However, I must admit that after 5km, it becomes much more uncomfortable...

The best order confirmation email I've ever get

is this one from Better World Books:

"Hello ***(my name),

(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)

Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!

I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?

I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.

But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things: ..."

The rest part is my order information, a
nd the sender's signature is names of the books I ordered. Can you imagine how much I'm looking forward to meeting them?! I just love books, and love the people who love books as I do :)

wubi ubuntu 9.10 installing issue

It is reported by several people, and unfortunately observed by myself that wubi 9.10 installation will drop into grub after a seems-very-successful-install. Potential solutions are:

1. manually download the 32bit version to go with your 32bit windows, or
2. do NOT choose 30G when installing the 64bit version with a 32bit windows

2 seems a better and easier choice, and 29G worked perfectly with my XP (at least so far).

Wish you good luck!

PS: I still don't think that there are much difference between Wubi and normal dual os installation...

autocompletion with vim+ctags

I wonder how many times I have googled for this recently... So why not some notes to save some time :)

Step 1: install vim
Step 2: install ctags
Step 3: download omnicpp
Step 4: download tags for stl etc.
Step 5: set up .vimrc

Generally, follow instruction of this link should be able to get everything done:

Run! 10/01/17 5km

今天有意识地提高了一点速度,5km/31'46'',凑凑合合吧。看来月底的10km有戏在1小时10分钟以内跑下来,不过3月那个half实在有点勉强... 考虑直接翘掉了事:P

4月去Boston看Jin跑全程,当面崇拜一下,嗯嗯:)

Run! 10/01/10 再出发

前一阵连着感冒了两场,很是消沉了一段,然后放假又出去玩了,跑步就被忘到脑后了,惭愧惭愧...

今天终于打起精神出去小跑了一圈,3.7km/27.30,还算凑合吧,只是感觉上比以前容易累,跑了还不到1km就开始觉得小腿发紧了。不过那也许是因为昨天芭蕾课的缘故。昨天上足尖部分的时候那个疼啊...以后一定不偷懒了,呜呜...

1月底有个10km,能不能在1小时之内跑下来呢,很是不好说呀,呼呼。
