周日晚间打开电视时，已经很晚，电影金球奖发奖仪式只看了个尾巴，知道最佳影片是SlumdogMillionaire，最佳男演员是MickeyRourke。这两项获奖者应该说都属于underdogs之列，评选结果也许会让许多人跌破眼镜。MickeyRourkenow但真正让我感到惊讶的是看到多年久违了的MickeyRourke，尤其是他外形方面的变化，让人不敢相信眼前这个标本式的wrestler形象，就是多年以前与KimBasinger合演91/2Wee[阅读全文]

上次贴了梁实秋的《脸谱》后，胡涣在comments中推荐了下面鲁迅的这篇文章。同样是脸蛋儿研究，鲁迅的这一篇另辟蹊径，与梁实秋的approach有所不同。放在这儿，与梁实秋的那篇《脸谱》相呼应。
谢谢胡涣推荐！略论中国人的脸
鲁迅
大约人们一遇到不大看惯的东西，总不免以为他古怪。我还记得初看见西洋人的时候，就觉得他脸太白，头发太黄，眼珠太淡，鼻[阅读全文]

小声些
梁实秋文
我觉得我们中国人的喉咙之大，在全世界，可称首屈一指。无论是开会发言，客座谈话，商店交易，或其他公众的地方，说话的声音时常是尖而且锐，声量是洪而且宽，耳膜脆弱一点的人，往往觉得支持不住。我们的华侨在外国，谈起话来，时常被外国人称做“吵闹的勾当”（Noisybusiness），我以为是良有以也。
在你好梦正浓的时候，府[阅读全文]

请客
梁实秋文
常听人说：“若要一天不得安，请客；若要一年不得安，盖房；若要一辈子不得安，娶姨太太。” 请客只有一天不得安，为害不算太大，所以人人都觉得不妨偶一为之。 所谓请客，是指自己家里邀集朋友便餐小酌，至于在酒楼饭店“铺宴席，陈尊俎”，呼朋引类，飞觞醉[阅读全文]
