September 29 今晚与美国家庭见面 原先知道都是教会安排的，就怕这个美国家庭神叨叨，结果见了面发现人家特别好，非常正常的家庭！人家还带了三个八九岁的小男孩，一路说说笑笑，超级好玩。我们去了有Buffalo号称最好吃的chicken wing的地方Duffs。我原先以为那里的鸡翅会是跟清华西门烤翅差不多那种外面油滑滑新奥尔良烤翅，所以特别期待。一上才知道，原来是KFC全家筒里面鸡翅那种做法的，我也说不出来，反正皮儿面了吧叽的...不过看Duffs里人超多，我们等了得有将近一个人才吃上。人家特别高兴地问我喜不喜欢吃这个，我心想其实比我们北京的西门烤翅差远了，不过嘴上得说“好吃”啊！是不是我期望值太高了？哈哈哈！
三个小男孩分别叫Joshua, Alex和Dominic。其中Joshua最有意思，不断问我和我housemate有关中国的问题，属于特别好学好问的小孩，而且吃饭间还表现特别绅士呢。另两个孩子比较淘，呵呵。我跟他们爸爸说，你家的孩子都跟little adults似的，说话象小大人儿。他回答，小男孩就认为自己是adults的缘故吧。
September 15 重温...今天看到Shayne Ward的新音乐录影带“No U Hang Up”
这小子变得更fit了...
后来翻出来去年上台跟Shayne唱的That's my goal看看
觉得当时为了那kiss上台出丑也值了...  September 13 one night in the boulevard mall... 为了下周的job fair,我昨天下午4：45下课然后坐mall shuttle到boulevard mall买西服，这是我头一次自己买正装（以前都从穿过正装）。事实证明我单独来是正确的，因为可以速战速决。如果跟朋友一起来，肯定就老拿不定主意呀什么的（当然，这样一起购物也是一种快乐）。
我大概5：15到的mall,因为头一回来，所以就先瞎转，看到radioshack,想起自己有campus cable还没买同轴电缆，所以学校免费提供的cable TV还没法看，所以我买了2.4米的同轴电缆。然后继续在mall中直行，走到饮食区有China Max中国餐厅的老板招呼我品尝他们的食物，哇塞，咕老肉，红烧肉！一看馋了，人家当时特价，我就要了炒面，红烧肉，咕老肉，一杯可乐，一共7美元，在这已经很便宜了，吃得还撑。当时本来我要给小费，但老板说中国人就不要给了，我当时好感动！我以后一定要推荐同学们去他家吃中餐，做得好吃啊！
 吃饱喝足精神了，我继续在mall里逛，看到有家the body shop,于是进去买了foam face wash, lip shine, foundation, mascara, brush, eye definer和转笔刀，然后高高兴兴地办了张会员卡，出来了。之后觉得当天买不完正装了，不如以后再来买，但这时我看到了Express和Ann Taylor两家店，我同学推荐的两家买西服的店，可我进Ann Taylor发现里面没什么好看的，而且没有skirt,于是就去了Express.随后，我速战速决的购物就开始了...
这边的西服款式还挺好看，反正不像中国的那么板好像。然后我先选了个带黑色细竖条的白色woven shirt，然后外套是个单扣的黑色Jacket，黑色skirt...然后又去Naturalizer买了双高跟鞋，8:50就全买完了。
我的体会是，其实像我这样个子矮的人在这边买东西不像之前别人说的那么难啊，为什么我买的这么快，而且貌似还非常非常的合身...Jacket是size 2, skirt size 0(oh well...),shirt是extra small的。
September 11 ZT 关于Lilei与Han Meimei的回忆关于Lilei与Han Meimei的回忆
这多少让80-85年生人有无限的遐思，初中时代的美好回忆又如画卷般展现在了我的眼前。在回忆往昔的时候，我总是很惊叹人民教育出版社的叔叔阿姨们还有那位专到中国来编英语教材的Alexander先生，怎么会起了几个如此经典的名字，让几千万甚至上亿的中国学生反复传诵至今。 这是有实例为证的：当年韩MM课外劳动摘苹果，和树下的李帅哥眉来眼去有点得意忘形了，此时被冷落一边的Jim大叫一声：“Be careful！”由此，关爱之情可见一斑。而韩MM除了简单报以“Thank you”之外，居然又自得其乐地跟李帅哥开始了聊天…… 7+8： 统计的数据我现在没有，不过我还能记得最前面的那些孩子。最重要的七个同学组成了第一集团： 接下来的第二集团是八位同学： 说明一下，Tom的出镜率很低，但是出来的时候文章一般都比较长，何况他是Ann的兄弟，第一册第一张彩页上露脸的人，所以放第二集团不过份。 彩页与家族： 重要人物：
实际上我的所有回忆，都来自于前阵子听说的一个乐队，就叫做 The Li Lei & Han Meimei's
成员包括 chimneycrow，caca，icier，skywang 。他们的构成不固定且松散；他们的特点以技术糙到爆著称；他们并没有固定的任务分配，哪里需要就投入到哪里；他们的团名是对于中学英语的怀念、致敬以及反抗。 September 09 (ZT)You Know You're from Buffalo When...看这个就当了解下Buffalo风土人情吧。
I'm from Buffalo. We eat chicken wings, not Buffalo wings. Jack Kemp is a quarterback, not a politician. We drink Labatt Blue and love it. Mighty Taco always has preference over Taco Bell. Pop, not soda and Pepsi, not Coke.
They are sneakers not tennis shoes. It's a sucker, not a lollipop. Bison chip dip, La Nova Pizzeria, Aunt Rosie's Loganberry, Chevettas Chicken, Peter K's Potato Pancakes and Ted's Hot Dogs are all too familiar...not to forget Taffy's Shakes and Charlie the butcher. A fake ID is unneccessary, there is always Canada...But we have them anyway. Our bars don't close until 4amm and we DO sell beer in a grocery store (Tops or Wegmans), which always makes for early starts and late nights. Jim's steak out at 4 in the morning is calling it an early night... We never cuss, but we swear entirely too much. We know that a 65 mph speed limit really means 80. We will cut you off, swear, and give you the finger if you are keeping up AND do it all in the snow, while expecting nothing less in return. Driving in the snow not only comes naturally, it is fun. We know what Artvoice and Nightlife are and we either love them or try to burn every copy we see. We start the weekends off right at Thursdays in the square while enjoying beer, free music, and an interesting crowd. We lived through Wide Right, The Forward Lateral, and No Goal. Dubbed by Dan Marino as "the meanest fans because no-one actually wants to live here..." We all know he wouldn't stand one winter up here. We love the Bills (no matter what) and accept that it takes 2-4 hours to get home from a game. Nothing closes in 3 feet of snow or -20 windchills...In fact, that's how we prefer to tailgate. We can correctly pronounce, spell, and identify Chippewa, Scajaquada, Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Olean, Tonawanda and Gowanda without hesitation. When giving direction it's not "take I-90 to Route 33 east" it's " take the 90 to the 33 east"..."the" is not an option. We are 30 minutes from another country, one of the seven wonders of the world, and even a few beaches. It's the second largest city in New York. I AM FROM BUFFALO, a drinking town with a sports problem, and damn proud! LOVE IT OR HATE IT! *************************************** -they're not buffalo wings, they're not chicken wings, they're just wings! -wide right, forward lateral, no goal, nuff said. -your kid's halloween costume can fit over a snowsuit. -at least once in your life, you've touched the top of a flagpole without using a ladder. -you like wings, beef on weck, handmade horseradish, pierogies, golabkis, kapusta, kielbasa, placek, Weber's mustard, St. Joseph's Day bread and twice baked double cheese baked potatoes. -washed down with Genny, Genny Cream, loganberry juice, Vernors, Old Vienna, or Black Rock pop. -you can correctly pronounce the Scajaqueda expressway. -you use the word 'the' in front of expressways, the 400, the 90, the 290, etc. -driving is better in the winter, because the potholes are filled in. -you know what "wind chill factor" and "lake effect snow" mean. -you celebrate Dyngus Day. -you go to Niagara Falls for the outlet shopping, not the view. -you know people who went to school with Ani DiFranco, one of the GooGoo Dolls, chad michael murry and kevyn adams -you follow a Bills game on TV with the sound off and the radio tuned to the game. -you've gotten frostbite and sunburn in the same weekend. -you watch fireworks twice during the first week of July. -pop is to drink, and soda is to bake with. -your parents ever threatened to send you to "Father Baker's" if you didn't behave. -you think of Canada as West, not North. -the sound system is worth more than the car. -you know what a firehall wedding is. -a Bills - Dolphins football game isn't just a game, it's personal. -You sit in your screened in garage to watch the sabres playoff run -Foot in the crease from 99 stanley cup -You know the marineland jingle....by heart. -You know that Billy Fuccillo is really HUUUUUUGE. - you've driven during a state of emergency or driving ban - you've seen lightning and snow in the same storm - the bars close at 4AM! -you get made fun of for being from upstate even though you're from Western New York! -you know who Sal is and you know to "duck" AKA the Erie Canal song we used to sing in elementary school! -When you have never had a home team win something big and know the world will end when it does! -When you're in love with the BUFFALO SABRES! -You love TITS sorry, guys, no pictures 加专辑下载(someone else's pics added)今天学校举办fall fest, 邀请演出乐队有
不过安检很严，不让带相机，想带也带不进去，所以没照片。 先上场的是onerepublic和trapt,我是在trapt唱最后一首歌时才进去的，因为这东西免费，所以排队入场等了n久！然后就觉得reel big fish很好，jack's mannequin让我很兴奋，因为那主唱太有激情了，边谈钢琴边唱，有好几首歌都蛮好听的。押轴的All American Rejects吧，从前也没觉得他除了swing swing swing外还有什么好听的，今天现场也没觉得他有什么好听的，但是人气比前几个乐队要高。 闹得太累了，不写了。也不知道该写什么，发现免费的东西不会去珍惜，照片照片没有，setlist setlist没有，歌名歌词也没记住。就是累！ EDIT: 详细说说吧。。。 Fall Fest就是学校举办的一个纪念秋季开始的音乐节，line-up有 因为免费，还有安检特别严（相机带不进去），所以排队巨长，我进场时前两个onerepublic和trapt都要唱完了，不过没关系，反正我以前对他们也不怎么喜欢。Onerepublic是压根没听说过，trapt我只知道有段时间他们的专辑在billboard的rock榜单排名很高，甚至第一？ 后来就reel big fish了，差不多也赶上我的吃饭时间。。。于是就坐在观众席上吃着听，因为实在体育馆举行，所以在边上坐着回音太大了，听不出来。不过我这人要求低，所以还一边吃一边跟同学说“这首歌挺好啊”的。其实reel big fish的摇滚因为加了小号所以有ska风格，再加上台上的歌手们要做踢腿运动，所以我很喜欢^_^ 然后中场休息...我也跑到下面舞台近处看了，那里声音能好一些，中场休息就是摄像机照到观众里的谁，如果屏幕显示的是kiss cam,那么屏幕上的两个人就要kiss一下，哪怕是陌生人或者同性，看看也挺有意思的，男生们一般都希望看到lesbian kiss,中间也碰到摄像机正对着两个大男生的，结果大家起哄，最后两个男生不好意思地溜了，哈哈！ 我期待的Jack's Mannequin上台了，上台前就看到台上搬来了钢琴，以前听我热爱外国音乐的朋友Albertina说jack's mannequin不帅，但歌曲特别特别好听！但我的感觉是他们人帅，歌曲更好听！Jack's mannequin来自Orange County,主唱同时是著名流行朋克乐队Something Corporate的主唱兼作词作曲，从小学习钢琴，在台上弹起琴劲头跟Chris Martin一样疯狂，表情还巨投入，他的牙齿特别大，像兔子。。。我认识的看这场演出的女生都特喜欢他。推荐几首他们的video,我以后也会把他们的专辑上传供大家下载 the mixed tape dark blue 再加上个Jack's Mannequin的另一个project:something corporate的video:punk rock princess. 整场演出这支乐队给我感觉最棒了。不过最受UB大学生欢迎的乐队还是压轴的The All American Rejects。也许因为刚开学所以很多大一的小本科生还处在高中状态吧。我惊讶发现原来AAR主唱有1.93那么高 可能是站得太久了，还不断有后面的人crowd surfing过来老经过我这我还得扶着，还有人洒水，所以搞得特别累，加上本来对AAR印象不怎么样，个人觉得他们歌曲除了swing swing swing好听外没别的好听的，然后成员也没有我的朋友们认为的那么帅气...另外他还让一名学生上去beer bong,我觉得超级无聊...反正唱到后面我都打好多哈欠了，可周围的小炮儿们闹得很欢啊，哈哈哈！ 演出就这样结束了... Jack's mannequin巨好听的专辑everything in transit下载:v: EDIT 2: I've found these pics of the show on this website, enjoy! http://buffalo.myspotted.com/pages/event_galleries.php?event=274 September 07 Militant black guy |
