From DouBan - Book review on <<The moon and SixPence>>  by DrunkPiano 你肯定有这样一个朋友吧：在银行工作，长得一般，业务凑合，有老婆孩子，勤勤恳恳养家糊口，不爱说话，但如果开口说话，说的话也多半无趣无味——总之形象非常白开水，在任何一个社交场合都是角落里不大起眼的人。事实上你肯定有不止一个这样的朋友，事实上你自己没准就是这样的人。         你能想象这个朋友突然有一天离家出走了吗？然后等你再听说他的消息时，据说他已经到了巴黎，正从头开始学画画，要做一个画家。         你很难想象，环顾我四周所有具有上述特征的朋友，我也不能。但是毛姆却写了这样一个人。他的名字叫查尔斯。在留下一张内容为“晚饭准备好了”的纸条之后，他离开了自己17年的妻子和两个孩子，去了巴黎。那一年他40岁，住在全巴黎最破旧的旅馆，身上只有100块钱。         但，这并不是一个追梦人如何历经艰险实现辉煌的励志故事。如果是这样一个故事，这个男主角应该20出头，英俊潇洒，在书中碰上一个有钱人的漂亮女儿，当然肯定也会碰上一个嫉妒他才华的小人，该小人势必要跟他争夺那位小姐，但正义必将战胜邪恶，男主角成为大亨，有情人也终成眷属。         《月亮和六便士》却不是这样一个故事。它是一个怎样的故事呢？全世界都在追逐着梦想，查尔斯却在追逐他的噩运。好吧，这两件事其实没那么不同，被梦想俘虏的人就是在追逐自己的噩运。当然这里所说的梦想，是真的梦想，不是“爸爸妈妈说”、“老师说”、“电视报纸说”里被说出来的那个蓝图，不是蓝领白领之上的那个金领，不是猎人给麻雀设的圈套里的那点米粒。         查尔斯疾步如飞，如愿以偿地追上了他的噩运。5年之后，他在巴黎贫病交加，躺在小阁楼里奄奄一息，若不是...

IRMA

Today is Friday and school is off due to hurricane IRMA! We are staying at home. I went to LOWE'S and they ran out of tarps. I bought a 1x1x8 little wood stick, wanting to design a window shutter myself  😂😂 Woodwork is fun but I lack strength and tools... Hurricance is said to direct hit Florida Miami, there are no hotels available along Florida to NC(Asheville), we can not stay of OMNI anymore. The hotels are jacking up prices, OMNI was $222 when I first check on Wednesday, then it jumped to $499! Then it is all SOLD OUT!

Lupron depot and hurricane IRMA

"Hurricane Irma is coming!", I shouted to papa bear. "That's OK, have you heard of Jose? He is coming to visit too, hahaha 😀", said papa Bear calmly. So this is Wednesday and we just came back from the great Smoky Mountain. Papa was tired. And then the hurricane news came and Florida folks started EVACUATION! We were nervous too. Let's hope we can go to Asheville NC and stay at the Omni Hotel again. This morning, I got the Lupron Depot shot, it was pouring so I was late to the appointment. The shot makes me feel nausea and dizzy.
