Spiders....Cob Web

I was cleaning the cobweb in my apartment last night because they were beyond my tolerance limit. There were a lot of them, I mean, really A LOT, though it was not very visible to the eyes. When I was removing the cob web, I didn't see any insects that were caught on the web. And I was thinking, "Darn you, spiders, can't you clean up your mess after your meals?" Then I realized, we, human being rarely clean up our own mess (other than mess in our private property), why should I expect spiders to clean up their own mess.

Schubert: Moment Musical No. 3 in F minor, Op 94

I was browsing youtube (as usual, when I'm bored) and came across a clip of Horowitz playing Schubert Moment Musical No 3 in F-. This is one of my favourite pieces that I happen to know how to play the whole piece (yes, this is very unusual, for I am the worst among those who actually learn how to play piano).

I came across Horowitz clips on youtube during the weekend and shared it with JJ, another piano aficionado. Looking at Horowitz's fingers and the way he played the piano, JJ was telling me that she wished to be the piano.

Horowitz version is actually slower but his interpretation is very different. I had another rendition by Philippe Entremont, which is a little faster, and little 'intimidating' to me. I wished that my piano teacher had show me all the different rendition before I learn to play it.

Here's Horowitz's rendition



And here's Philippe Entremont rendition

五年

光陰似箭, 一轉眼就五年了.
這五年里, 究竟有什麼改變, 有什麼還是不變呢?

改變的是: 父母比較懂得享受人生了; 妹妹修到兩個學位了; 我從沒有學位到追求最高的學位; 小瓜來美國了.

不變的是: 事實; 那一股怎麼也驅不走的哀傷和愁緒; 我還是個寄生蟲; 小瓜還是這麼不上進這麼懶...

Muppet Show with Harry Belafonte

I was bored and began to surf the web. Recently, I like to visit youtube.com and search for muppet show clips. My all time favorite is the mahna manha clip and beaker singing feeling. These two clips always lift me up when I need a little laugh. Today I found another one with Harry Belafonte and Fozzie Bear singing the Banana Boat Song. It really cracked me up, badly.

Enjoy it!

小瓜加油!

I am SO impressed! You figured out the excel trend line thingy all by yourself! That's a great leap from what you were just a couple months ago, where you would have called up your two poor sisters for help. Keep it up!

Pride & Prejudice Soundtrack

Of all the movies I watched recently, the soundtrack that I really want were actually soundtrack from movies I watched before the summer semester. I bought one of them last night, the Pride & Prejudice (2005) Soundtrack. The track that I particularly want is actually the end credit. For some reason, after so many months since I watched the movie, the end credit track was still lingering in my mind.

Here it is. Enjoy!

Once I got the other soundtrack (i.e. when I could afford another CD), I will post my favorite track here. Be patient.
