Just got one of my favorite CD back, The Sunday's Static and Silence. Thought it was lost but actually lent it to a colleague long time ago...
This page contains short sound clips for each song in this CD. Here is all the lyrics for The Sundays. Among them, this one is my favorite. The followings is what I like the most:
...
when you're searching your soul
when you're searching for pleasure
how often, pain is all you find
but when you're coasting along and nobody's trying too hard
you can turn around and like where you are
...
Some news for The Sundays, though the latest one is in Feb 2002...

NY and RTP, NC
Photos taken in New York and RTP, North Carolina for my trip in Jan & Feb, 2004.
Somehow, a faint vague voice deep inside murmuring, just hope the photos taken in RTP can be found under "that" directory... yet, a vain hope...
Wake up! silly gal...

Valentine Heart
nothing much to say, just...
I'VE GOT A VALENTINE HEART!! a valentine heart formed by slices of apples!! AN APPLE VALENTINE HEART!!!
flying 19 hours at the altitude of 36,000 feet, this heart had accompanied me enjoying the Orions at my right hand side on the way to Alaska and back home to Taipei, contented...

Heart-broken: hey, you left your sunglasses yesterday.
12-year-old: see, you're not the only one who loses things...
Heart-broken: yet, your lost can be easily found. my lost can not...
12-year-old: yeah yeah. we all have things that are hard to find. believe me.
Heart-broken: right right... just my lost can be found by someone, but that someone does not want to find it for me... what can i do?

Heart-broken: ^_^... yes, let's go!

lost
the 12-year-old teased me,
you've lost your pot;
you've lost your car battery;
you've lost your room key, and
you've lost your voice.
what will you lose next?
huh? next? of course no next...yet...
just realised i've lost my heart... but...
found broken.
with a broken heart, i am finding my way out... and... have to...

charades
Charades is called "bi3 sho3 hua4 jiao3" in Chinese .
Last Friday, after the dumpling and Taiwanese rice noodle party, me, Kai, Erik, Tracy, and some testers played this game tegether. Amused to see how people from different countries acting out the words using various gestures and movements which are underminingly affected by their cultures or how they were brought up.
For example, Kai, the half American & half German & resident in France, placed one arm near his nose and raised up that arm to act out "An Elephant", whereas I, the Taiwanese, used two hands, placing my right thumb and point finger on my nose to form a circle in front of my chest and then my left arm streching out of this circle to form "An Elephant"! Do elephants look different in Taipei/Newcastle or New York/Boston/Paris?
How about the next... when Kai used two arms to round a circle in front of his belly and then bent aback his waist, Kenji the Japanese suddendly shouted "fat" and then "American"... the answer is......
Santa Clause!!!
Okay, okay, I was also teased for acting out "The Berlin Wall" and "Skiier"...
Plus, it's very interesting to see how quickly people guessed the correct answers. Erik and Tracy the couple always easily shouted out correct answers from each other's acting. Amazingly, I could quickly get the right answer from Kai's. This guy was soooooo kind to comment that it must result from my watching his behaviour closely! ha! seemed he could quickly guess mine too... anyway, in this case, how people think seems not affected by nationality and culture... interesting...
Playing this game was with loads of fun... we laughed out loud when the presenter kept using the same but audience-didn't-understand-at-all guesture or movement to act out the words. The presenter also laughed when audiences kept shouting out his/her every moverments, especially when Kai's acting... "uhh...touching his head, touching his face, uhh... thinking, wondering, ..." For one moment, I seemed to see a 12-year-old boy with a navy blue shirt, bursting out laughing with a sunshine-like face, wondering nothing and worrying nothing...

Lost in Durham
Gosh! It took me almost 1.5 hours to reach Duke University....
Followed the direction in the Yahoo map but turned out useless... turned right on "BARBEE RD/OLD DURHAM - APEX RD/S BARBEE RD" and, excuse me, I drove onto the wet muddy so called "Barbee RD" and ended up in the front yards of some country houses!! *sigh*...
Okay, then turned back to the East 54 and drove along the Chapel Hill RD (why are there so many Chapel Hill RDs in this area?)... so... I found myself in Cary! Cary (Concentrated Area for Relocated Yankee)!!! At last, got the correct direction info in a gas station and a supermarket. The warm-hearted middle-aged black man, with cute white short beard, even noted down the directions step by step, took me out of the supermarket, and showed me the direction back to N147. Though i was shiveringly standing in the cold weather with a thin T-shirt, my heart was warmed and full of appreciation.
In addition to kind and warm hosipitality of Durham locals, my adventure today also worths a bunch of good things! Found a beatiful lake, Lake Crabtree, on the way back to N147 and a nice state park (ahh... forget the name... dxxx). Plus, Duke Univerity is sooooooooo beatiful in the winter!!! It's really worthy to re-visit again and again!!
