春季拍卖会
�
���今天跑到金茂大厦参观了中国嘉德2008春季拍卖会. 还真挺过瘾, 我们到底是生活在商业社会，无价的艺术品被明码标价, 齐白石和李可染真迹, 张晓刚的画作, 竟然还有两幅陈逸飞大型油画遗作. 从古到今, 从字画到珠宝应有尽有.
���看得出老艺术家们在作画时的心态跟当代年轻艺术家有很大的不同, 看老画不管是真迹还是赝品, 你能不费劲地体会到画家的意境, 很容易达成与艺术家们超越时空的内心交流, 参观者往往会在作品前驻足片刻后露出满足会心地一笑. 黄胄的驴群. 李可染的山水庙. 齐白石的画鸟虫, 无疑是到了随心所欲点墨成金的自由境界..
���看现代画时, 你会下意识地觉得艺术家在刻意地追求某种完美的同时失去了生活中最真实的不完美. 陈逸飞的两幅油画, 描绘了一中一西两个境界, 画面细腻严谨, 但是画中人完美的衣衫和肌肤下显得灵魂相对失色, 陈逸飞当年投在伦博朗的名下作两年研究生就好了，在伦导的指导下，他在色彩掌握，光线运用和神态诠释上都会有革命性的进步，但不管怎么说, 艺术品的价值跟艺术家的生命成几何反比的规律还在. 这两幅画真可谓标价不菲, 让人咂舌. �
��完成资本的原始积累的国人, 觉得自己经济上是足够富有了. 为方便客人们欣赏自己精神上的富有, 喜欢将百万到千万不等的艺术挂在客厅墙上，如今讲究文化产业，运气好得话还能翻倍地升值. 谁不想当一回精神富翁呢？
��我买不起这些真珍品, 万般无奈，没事画些油画, 也摆放在家里, 出乎意料地深得朋友们的崇拜, 他们崇拜的不是我的画技, 而是我能完成创作的娴静心态. 事实上真没有人剥夺不是艺术家的人去艺术的生活, 我总阿Q地觉得, 没事画上两笔要比一掷千金更来得潇洒.
I'm going to start writing poetry again. I used to for�a long time. I'm hoping it will be as therapeutic as it used to be. Well here is one that� I wrote a few days ago. It doesn't really have a name.
No, Everything is not okay
Everytime night turns to day
I pray
"God let me die today."
I can't change the way I feel
People are trying with just a little pill
It all just makes me want to blurt
"God, stop making me hurt."
I know I have Jesus in my heart
Which means we'll never part
But I just don't feel him with me
Maybe they lied and he really left me.
God, if you left me, hear my cry
Please come back before I try
To take something that isn't mine
To take my life one last time.
I need some feedback, Please.� That is, if you want to. I can be short or long. You can tell me it sucks if you want to. Just give me something to work with.
Wow my parents are awful, this morning it was go ahead and get your laptop for college and this evening it is i dont want to spend any more money on computers what's your problem! What's all that about!!! Now thanks to her not wanting to spend money i can't afford to go to college till next year! Way to go mom! make me never graduate and annoy me to the point of going insane.... i am so stressed out between babysitting,working, cleaning, running the house,and trying to get in a couple of hours of study� i can't take it anymore. and on top of it all she won't allow me to move out or get a college loan! This is total cabin fever like. I don't know what i'm going to do about it all.... I mean what do i do? i'm cornered in awful cercumstances� with no way out in site. Plus living in this house and sharing a bedroom with everyone is driving me nuts! Well maybe i'll elaborate on this subject later but right now i need to let off some steam....
美丽的哀愁---上海态度
� 4月中旬恐怕是上海一年中相对的好气候, 不太冷也不太热又没风, 在这个季节人的血管松驰了, 肌肉舒展了, 心里透亮了. 四月是上海人一年中最有可能呈现美丽笑容的季节.�
� 小时候看过一本书叫 ‘上海的早晨’,� 书的封面是烟雾蒙蒙的上海. 来到上海后真是感到这本书的书名和封面都选得好, 表现了大上海雾气都市的含蓄和骨子里对明媚的艳阳的渴望. 大城市不是没有艳阳天, 只是生活在大城市里的人有心思欣赏艳阳天的时候不多.
� 如今上海的天不再透明, 总是笼罩在一片时浓时淡的烟雾里, 汽车尾气和降尘加上华丽的现代建筑产生灰色朦胧的效果. 也成就了这大都市美丽的哀愁. 如果我写书, 书名就叫 ‘上海的灰雾’ . 我们都知道是物质文明的灯塔引导我们走进了烟雾缭绕的巷子.
Meu Deus. How horrible-I fell asleep at 11 (which is the equivalent of 3 am for any normal person) and then woke up at 6. Fell asleep reading. Woke up and picked up the book and started again.
I finished the book, last night.�Not bad, but not good enough to throw myself off a cliff after, as some of the girls in my class seem to think. Remind me to thank a helpful girl whose name will, for my purposes, be Emily, who managed to wrench my hands off the copy of the book that belongs to the school library (and, I might add, was not borrowed in my name). Emily (lovely girl that she is) saw my despair at having the book (any book) taken from me when I had already started it, and lent me her copy. THANK YOU! Not that you ever will see this, much less know it was me, but since I didn't have much time to thank you then....
Lovely and rainy. I loooooove the rain. I really needed it. No, I am not depressed. Maybe depressING, a little ; ), but not depressed. I love, love, love the rain. It is so peaceful, and peace is as necessary for me as food or sleep or books. I am by no means an extrovert.
Well, I am going to go now. Chores, chores, chores, homework, PROJECTS, reading, reading, reading, reading, reading, chores. So much to do.
Book suggestion of the day: Goose Girl and sequels, by Shannon Hale. YA fiction/fantasy. Enjoy!

I have been in a high state of excitement pretty well all day.
Not only are there multiple books and movies made out of books that I am highly anticipating, but my friend will drop off the sequel to Twilight sometime tomorrow. Hopefully late in the day, because otherwise it will be impossible for me to resist reading. It's this way for nearly any sequel to any book I've read. Sigh.
So, for anyone who cares about this (the equivalent of no one�), here are the books/ movies I am waiting for. In no particular order (b=book, m=movie):
Aha! There is my lust list. All highly anticipated, and some not coming until next year :(. Ah well. Patience is key.
If only I had the slightest bit of it.
Oh, wow.
Guess what day it was at school today, after my prolonged rant about my work-related�predicament? Career day! Hooray for missing all morning classes! Some of the presentations were really good. Interesting, all of it. There was an authour there too! I went up to her and talked to her for�a while about writing. She was very nice. I have decided that I will write, no matter whether my parents support me or not. Clearly I will have a job on the side, but I will write as well.
Due to immensely intense stress caused by peer pressure, I have started (and nearly finished) reading Twilight. Don't know if you've heard of it, but�I won't explain it here. It's ok, I guess, for a romance. A bit overdone at times, but I will finish it (unless the book is unfit for anything but recycling, I find it tasteless to either A) not finish a book, or B) read the ending first.). My tolerance for romance is rather low, but besides that it is a pretty good story. Of course, the romance is pretty well the main theme, but I try to ignore it.
This entry will be relatively short so that I can finish the book and thus shut Charlotte up
