mm: 一个同事吃饭choke了之后她问人家: are you dying?的那只
事情经过：
刚才gg路过停下来跟我聊冰球。
mm飘过，突然问：你的皮带扣看上去不错啊，在哪儿买的？
大家的目光纷纷瞄准gg的脐下三寸。
gg摸着皮带扣回答，sterling shop。
mm说，不是tiffany？我在给我老公找圣诞礼物。
gg说，tiffany是280，这个180。
mm说，这么贵？我以为tiffany只要200。
这时gg用迅雷不及掩耳盗铃之势如破竹的速度把皮带解下来，再把皮带扣取下来，供mm
玩赏，说，这还有我的intial。
此处略去对话若干。
最后，gg一边在我们桌子边上穿皮带一边对已经被雷得内焦外嫩的我说，Bruins最近
打得不错啊。。

Tuesday night saw my third trip of the season to the Garden, which was also happened to be the first victory I witnessed and the first back-to-back win the Bruins recorded this season.Both the B's and I had been on a rocky road since the season started. I was in house at the opening night, when the B's hosted and got badly beaten by the Caps at 1-4. I was also there on last Thursday as the Habs was in town - the B's tied the game with 51 seconds left in the regulation only to lose in the shootout later. To make things worse, the B's were no better without my presence. Hence this victory was certainly something both they and I loved to see and hoped to build on.
My actual seat was waaaay back, on balcony up against the wall, behind the goal that the visitors shoot twice. The advantage of sitting there was the ability to see how the plays built and unfolded. The drawback was, of course, it was just too far away from the ice. You couldn't beat the price though. The atmosphere back there was great too. And the best thing? I could stand up during the game whenever I felt like to. once again, you just couldn't beat the price.
The game itself was more exciting than what I babbled here. Oh, did I mention it was against the reigning champ Pittsburg Penguins? Our boys outskated their boys in the first period, kinda slowed down in the second, and then stepped up in the final period. A score of 3-0, including an empty-netter in the final 3 seconds, sent me home very very happy. It was also my first time to see Sidney Crosby live. He was great at stickhandling and skating as advertised, but it was just not his day, or maybe they just missed injured Evgeni Malkin.
Anyways, a shutout Bruins win + Rene Rancourt singing the US national anthem + standing up whenever I wanted = I should totally do it again!
Go B's!]]>
昨天把一盒子肉馅拿出来化冻，打算试试做珍珠丸子。结果下班回来才发现家里早就没有糯米了。爬上万能的饭塔问大家能不能用普通大米代替，大家回答否。于是群策群力之后，我决定一大半做白菜丸子汤（没有冬瓜，很可惜），一小半做传说中的肉糜蒸蛋。切碎了点儿葱酱，和着肉馅，鸡蛋，芡粉，香油搅拌起来，后来发现差点忘了放盐。在玻璃碗里自作主张铺了两篇白菜叶子（白菜太多了，汗～），把肉馅铺上去，中间稍微压低了点儿，打了个鸡蛋。蒸之前看那个小模样还是不错的。只可惜蒸好了之后有点儿面目全非。首先是因为没放加油，肉看起来白花花的有点儿触目惊心，其次是鸡蛋和肉一起蒸火候过了没法是糖心蛋，再次是端出来之后我咬牙淋了几滴酱油，看起来沟壑纵横不甚美观。
不过味道倒是相～～～～当的好，特别还有白菜叶的清香。
经验教训：下次多放点儿白菜；肉里提前放点儿酱油；先蒸一会儿肉再放鸡蛋。握拳。]]>
* I hate Taco Bell's new black taco commerical. I hate it with a passion. Absolute hatred. I deem it stupid, awkward, and ill-fated. I'm not going to watch it ever again. From now on, I'll switch the channel right away whenever it's on.* How do you spell CHOKE? Here's a hint: it starts with a "P", and ends with an "N". ALL YOU NEEDED TO DO WAS TO GET FOUR LOUSY OUTS, AND YOU BLEW THE SAVE AND THE GAME BY GIVING UP FIVE FREAKIN' RUNS?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU WERE ONE FREAKIN' PITCH AWAY FROM GAME 4 AT HOME THREE TIMES?! ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME???!!!
* Poor, poor Clay Buchholz. With two year's ups and downs - much more downs than ups - and in the most important game of his young career, he was as good as it gets. But it wasn't enough. When the bats finally had some production and the starter somehow came through, the bullpen faltered and fell - face first.
* Josh Beckett and Jon Lester. Yeah, they are great, but they ain't superman, hence they AIN'T capable of pitching shutout games facing a team with the second run production in regular season. They lost their games partly because of some bad pitches, but mostly because of the bats who didn't do their job.
* Bats. I'm speechless. Besides 5 runs in the 3rd and 4th innings on Sunday, they only managed to score 2 runs in 25 innings. How could they even possibly do that? Can they be more lifeless?
* It has been an awful second half - the Sox got (I refuse to use the word 'clinched' here) the wildcard berth just because the Rangers were more determined to golf early - and a horrendous ALDS. The Angels are the better team, I get it. I haven't really expected the Sox to win the series. Just not a sweep, not in our house. Is this too much to ask? To put up a good fight, a nice show. Is THIS too much to ask? I suggest the players should personally refund the tickets to all the fans, who had to be there before noon despite all the traffic due to the game and a city marathon and a parade and a Tom Cruise filming in town just to suffer this (my poor, poor boss Bill). A note to Tom Cruise, you hadn't really had to overturn an 18-wheeler or land a helicopter on the Zakim Bridge for a disaster scene, in a park about 2 miles southwest you would have seen it all.
* Well, at least the Sox could sign Jason Bay with less money, bwee?
* And the over-time loss of the Pats at Denver three hours later? Just kill me already.
* A season-ending loss and a season-nearly-ending loss for two most beloved local teams in the span of 6 hours? People, it is official. God hate us New England sports fans.
* Well, maybe not, on Saturday night the B's did have an epic comeback against the Islanders to score three goals in 7 mins and win the shootout later on. Otherwise you bet I'm suicidal now.
* But basically it was just because the Islanders and their goalie sucked more. It's still a crappy situation all around.
* I think I'm already a little bit mental.
* Oh well.]]>
