Weiyunism5/12/2009 Lily-of-the-ValleyUnder the dark brown umbrella, I was walking slowly down the 52th Avenue in the mizzle. Budding sprout and burst-open flowers were so eagerly celebrating their moments of hustle and bustle after the thorough ordeal of a prolonged post-winter. Hovering over the imbued dampness, a serious temptation of spring arrived in the end.
For the first time did I see you. Like a secret obliged by the nature and a promise shared by the season, you were smiling, with that unutterable language you were carrying. In a bliss I knew at that moment you were all the comfort I was begging for. Your gentleness, your timidity, your reticence... didn't you blow my mind this time?
Hush. Silence was around us now. There was no further need for a word. My heart was full of joy and peace when I was by your side.
I knew you would not fade. Neither were you nonchalant. You just needed to recover from the accumulated spring ennui and prepare for the next meeting. So I stood up and walked away without saying goodbye.
4/27/2009 谢拉斯基教授 I'm sitting in library B1 and outlining for Prof. Shelanski's Antitrust course and can't help but start to think about him. He's kind of unique here. Maybe it's because he has come across the whole nation from Berkely. He is totally smart, meticulous, moderately sarcastic, bit of fun, reminding you what an intellectual peon you are.
I will never forget that piece of joke he delivered on class 13, March 5 at which I had a good laugh. That's why I keep it down. Maybe I'm a weirdo too.
I'm outlining when I think I sure will miss this guy.

I'll tell you a joke about compatibility and unreasonable bosses in the law firms.
When I was a lawyer in early 1990s, practicing in Washington DC, we had a real rush on a big case. The partner for whom I was working sent me a document in a truly bizarre work processing format, which if called upon the Word, and it turned into gibberish, absolutely nonsense. So I spent hours sorting out this document by basically re-typing the thing and sent back to him. He did the supervisions and again turned it into gibberish.
So I called him up and I said, “what program are you using?”
When I said it was Word I was using for the firm, he said, “Word is for idiots. When I was in MIT, we used, you know, Ky-R equation writer and it’s the best ever thing I’m using.”
I said, “well, tell you what, you can spend your Saturday coming here to translate your gibberish to something comprehensible cauz I can’t read it.”
And he said to me, quote and quote, “Really! These are both pieces of software. Software had code and logic. Open it up, get into it, and MAKE THEM WORK.”
I immediately wrote that down cauz I couldn’t believe it. I thought it’s quite amazing. This guy is a really logical guy. He’s bit of that guy getting his computer science from MIT before becoming a lawyer.
So I said, “OK, I’m goanna do this.” So I went to his computer and he had this software in his computer in his office. So I just saved a copy of this program and started to type stuff, code, all kinds of gibberish and waited for Monday morning.
Around 9:30 I heard a “Waaaaa”. So I peered and thought, “BOSS, you know, it’s software! Just code! Just logic! Put it up and get into it, man!”

That’s why I teach today, folks. 4/26/2009 The Better HalfFine. 'm bored of this securities stuff. Recently I heard & saw several pieces of comments from males toward their girl friends and wife. Below are some, among others:
1. This is a comment by a post-doc of physics towards his wife, a friend of mine:
"My wife YH is a lawyer. We got married in December, 2001." Well, somehow I've read out a tad of pride & appreciation from it? 2. A comment from a popular, decent, handsome male friend on his girl friend who's thousands of miles away: "My girl friend is a real, good person." He spoke slowly, and looked so sincere. It's sweet. 3. So here comes the most beautiful, moving hit, from a friend's friend: "I feel really, truly, fortunate to be engaged to A. She really is my better half. I've learned a lot from her, including how to organize my thoughts and life. She has taught me the joy of living, of how to understand people, and of not being quite a misanthrope. Being with her is really one of the highlights of my life." Gee, I'm speechless. |
