好想回上海买书！

我需要氧气供应，”侧脸艺术“的出现还不够呢。。

真“sian” 原本为了10月的australia trip, 放弃了原有的台湾之行。
现在想想上个周末的ordeal, 还真庆幸老天有眼，行程取消，不然我死定了。。
可是心还是痒痒的，又开始疯狂购物，这里买不够还想往外发展。回想起5月份搬不回来的书，真的很想回上海！上次去个10天还真不够，现在想想当时还真的很匆忙，天天”忙‘“到没睡觉都不懂在忙什么（but still 有空看点dvd!)。
早知道老板有container从那里过来，可能可以打点主意？heehee

羡慕M*现在在台北逍遥，我去不成反倒他后来能去！发现我的shopping list incomplete, 没办法。。
还是自己来最好！朋友邀约cambodia，还有明年的大计，还有现在想去香港。。

我完了。。this weekend还要去natas受引诱。。都快10月了，我在干什么？完了，完了！？

[ "侧脸艺术"快救救我！]

must set a deadline for you…

欢笑声混合滚烫的泪水，温度是什么？
消失后的快乐又找回来，记忆算什么？
不要欢愉喧闹只爱孤单，管我干什么？

来不及追看过去
但明天我在哪里

[ 看见一切都美好，我感动。这就是我的快乐。]

No, not really that bad.

If there is no choice, we can be a creature of habit.
If choices can be made, by all means do so.
We are really quite adaptable.

Last week chance upon a new arrival Japanese-translated illustration book at Kino. This book “celebrates” (mocks at) all the problems lefties faced their entire life. I was truely amused as I recount each and every one of them which, at some point of time in my life, I have addressed / lamented / dealt with / overcome the same issues.

Having spent twenty-six years being a leftie, of course I’m thoroughly used to being what I am. Even if my clumsiness and other less favorable traits are attributed from this reason, so what, they are all part of myself and just very ordinary. In fact I have forgotten many of those ‘blood and tears’ accounts illustrated in the book since I have long gotten used to operating in my own ways, or letting my right hand take over many of the responsibilites. …and damage my brain in the meanwhile if its any true!

The nice part is really having someone who understands your plight putting together a collection where the minorities in the same shoes can share and identify with.

Potential hoarding-piece! Almost grab and pay immediately. Luckily the 3% worth of undamaged brain cells left managed to get me back to my senses…
[ In life, there is so much triviality. But they all still deserve kind understanding and empathy. ]

I’m always considered a leftie cos i write with my left.

need no further introduction on how the big bad world treats us unfairly, with a shorter lifespan than the normal folks as our only consolation prize.
guy-lefties are rumoured to earn more, but that’s none of my business.

not until recent years,

I realised i’m actually an ambidexter.
i draw freehand with my left, do computer graphics with my right. and divide all other tasks that uses my hands 50:50 proportionately between the left and the right.

and so i thought i’m closer to being normal and adequate.
usually pen in the left hand and right hand on the mouse at any one time, can’t be any more convenient and self-sufficient i thought!

not until i came across research articles on the abnormalcy of ambidexters.

in summary, it bluntly says:
Ambidexterity is neither a goal to aspire to nor is it a gift from God. Instead, it is first and foremost the mark of brain damage.

“Ambidextrous People” are Brain-Damaged …

[ So which is worse? Being left-handed or ambidextrous? But is it really that bad? ]
