        Today was the first day that the sun decided actually to do something. People always say the California coast is summer all year round. They are wrong, as wintertime brings chilling winds and intense sunlight in Los Angeles. It takes a chunk of your spirit if you stay out too long.

        Well, those days are over. Instead of a cruel glare freezing my soul, a brutal shine burns a

Ezra Pound (1885—1972)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948〗

      Dark-eyed,

      O woman of my dreams,

      Ivory sandalled,

      There is none like thee among the dancers,

      None with swift feet.

      I have not found thee in the tents,

      In the broken darkness.

      I have not found thee at the well-head

        The movie industry in L.A. is unique. With Hollywood just around the corner and Universal Studios nearby, the films and shows produced here are broadcast worldwide. But the movie had to be taken somewhere, and that place was Warner Bros.

        To movie producers, the Warner Bros Studio is paradise. With multiple sets and an infinite supply of props, there's nothing money can'

         The rustling of the silk is discontinued,

         Dust drifts over the court-yard,

         There is no sound of foot-fall, and the leaves

         Scurry into heaps and lie still,

       And she the rejoicer of the heart is beneath them:

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948〗

      Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall

     She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,

     And she is dying piece-meal

      of a sort of emotional anemia.

      And round about there is a rabble

        First things first, Merry Christmas.

        The funny thing is, I'm usually not home when Christmas comes around  Last year, I went down south to Maryland, and this year, once again, it will be some places in Southern California where this is written  Los Angeles, an exotic tourist destination, seemingly blends Christmas cheer with everyday life, such

        What's in Los Angeles? Now that I think about it, all it seems to be is a city with a name and beaches.

        This year's Christmas break for school was the shortest on record. The students received nine days off and were all required to return on January 2^nd, the following Monday after the New Year of 2107. Not only does it force the students to think about school more often,

        好不容易有机会与阔别已久的老朋友林海见面，三月冬末春初，从寒无尽日的宾夕法尼亚“山林”州奔赴阳光明媚的加利福尼亚“火炉”州。最激动的莫过于刚满六岁的娃儿——尤其听说叔叔阿姨有一对素昧平生、年长自己至少一倍、同样酷爱乐高生化战士又擅长国际象棋的儿子。冥冥之中，有缘千里来相会。聚会那天，哥俩恰在伯克利“白桦树林地”大学参加全美国际象棋积分赛，很晚才能回来，娃儿只好摆弄玩具打发时间。六、七年前哥俩像他这般年纪时也曾痴迷过生化战士，从那一箱近乎古董的陈年旧物里，娃儿不难领略
