This is my second book by Eco. Somehow I finally understand the force that had always been pulling me away from his books. Though I had enjoyed Baudolino very much, Foucault's Pendulum is a completely different experience. Don't get me wrong, though. Eco is great. The fault can only be the readers' if the reading produces pain, rather than joy. One has to be adequately informed, prior to their reading, in a wide range of ideas and theories in order to insure the utmost pleasure.

【貓咪】Puss in Boots? 穿靴子的貓!?
從前從前,在最近的不久之前,有一隻住在很遙遠的台北的小貓咪。某天,媽咪幫送貨員開門時,貓咪迷倒了那位送貨員。他說,貓咪好像Shrek裡頭的穿靴的貓咪。還想要用手機留下他的『英姿』。哈哈!
Once upon a time, not long ago, there lived a cat in faraway Taipei. One day, when Mommy opened the door for a delivery guy, he became completely enchanted by the cat. He said: He looks so much like Puss in Boots in Shrek! And even wished to take a picture of the cat.
後來,家裡不知何時冒出了一只紙箱。貓咪在箱子裡玩得好開心、好開心。

【Hiking?】烏來半日遊-下篇
不知道有沒有人發現,這次的標題hiking後面有個問號。為什麼勒?
I wonder if anybody noticed the question mark behind the 'hiking' in the title.
原因有兩個:

【Hiking?】烏來半日遊-上篇
平時很少出門。所以朋友來訪其實也不太知道要帶她去哪玩。最主要是因為自己平時都是靠雙腿、捷運、和公車。要玩也一定得找公車捷運有到的地方。
For someone that doesn't go out much, having to show a friend around Taipie could be aptly described as 'Mission Impossible'. The only transportation I am familiar with is public transportation systems, and my two legs. So wherever I take my friend, it must be reachable by either bus, MRT, or our limbs.

【文字】The Idiot Box
在George Orwell的1984裡,電視是用來監視民眾的一舉一動的工具。
在Batman and Robin裡,壞蛋the Riddler在電視上裝了聲稱是『接受器』的東西,試圖吸走所有人們的知識與智慧。

【回報】500點與一個鑰匙圈
打從他們三級開始接班到現在,我想如果可以頒發一個『進步獎』的話,這個獎項一定非Angel莫屬。
補習班生涯從開始到現在我未曾將任何一位學生降級過。或許說出來我的飯碗會不保。也或許有些老師不會贊同我這樣的做法。但我和學生和他們家長溝通時的解釋是:只要他們肯努力做好自己該做的,我絕對不會放棄他們。
Angel就是一個我不願意『放棄』的學生。
