The liberal-minded in Louvre

In communications studies, we are taught to be aware and respect the 'otherness' of different cultures. There was I, standing on the dirt pavements that lead to Palace Louvre and appreciating the pond with my 'poor eyesight'. Then the de-motivational spectacle below completely caught my eyes. I was also shocked to see people around seemed to be so calm and easy until I stepped closer enough to see the amusing truth.

“旧事物”二则

每天都会丢掉一些“垃圾”,有个统称叫果皮纸屑。还有旧衣物,旧家具,旧电器,旧毛巾,旧牙刷,旧的一切不能再用或者不想再用的物事。算下来一年至少也有几吨。最近搞搞小卫生,整理小东西,才发现原来家里很多卫生死角,一抹布过去都是黑的。比如说客厅上面中央那盏莲花,平时很少开,偏偏它生了一圈接灰专用的凹形花瓣,中间生一个接虫专用的玻璃碗,日子久了旋转也不灵光,抹布碰到它就摇摇欲坠,发出玻璃金属摩擦的令人齿冷抓狂的声音,效果等同于指甲在黑板上划道。此为旧事物一。



整理鞋柜时又发现许多年代久远的玩意,最传奇的是两双变成黄色的回力白球鞋,若干双101斑点皮鞋,另有一双不知名的白球鞋,鞋舌已经发黄,印着“朝艺”(CHAOYI),百度不到相应的厂牌。其实鞋型几好,几old school,穿上去也几舒服。XD 但为了节省空间,还是成为甩到垃圾堆的对象之一。此为旧事物二。

主观地说,我比较偏好旧事物,那什么是旧事物嘛?说个冷笑话,根据高等教育出版社版马哲课本,老马认为:

1 旧的不符合客观规律,与事物的发展方向相悖,没有生命力没有发展前途;
2 旧事物没有新事物无可比拟的优越性;
3 旧事物不符合绝大多数人民群众的利益;
4 旧事物绝不会自行消亡,它总是竭力扼杀和摧残新事物;
5 告别旧事物,接受新事物。

有一种职业叫“喂虱子”


虱子属于寄生虫的一种,它们和蚊子一样,在吸食血液过程中传染各种微生物传染性疾病。可通过接种疫苗对其进行防控,但此类疫苗主要用豚鼠进行实验,给动物如猫、狗、牛等接种,当然也有给人接种的疫苗。那么“喂虱子”是怎么一回事?在《夜的第三章》(Trzecia część nocy, 1971)中,在那个犹太人的恶梦岁月里,有一种职业能让人获得安全保障,换肉票。这种职业就是“喂虱子”。抛开片中的种种影射、象征,来看下这种可怕工作的流程。

喂虱工作分两种,一种喂养对象是健康虱子,每天一次,工作人员未接种疫苗。各人员围桌而坐,桌上每人一套简单设备。具体步骤如下:

1.用绵球沾酒精消毒好喂养部位后,取一条小皮带环扣喂养部位:一般男生小腿,女生大腿。




2.取下虱笼(如下图一,扁平矩形木盒,一面为金属网,透过网能看到虱子们窜动的头),把虱笼一个排一个插到皮带和喂食部位之间,网面紧贴喂食部位(下图二、三)






3.坐着等待“半个小时,直到血液循环结束”。被吸血期间必须专心,不能做抽烟、喝酒、看书、抓痒等影响喂食效果的事情。喂食完成后其他工作人员会给吃饱的虱子们“注射伤寒菌,让伤寒菌在它们的肠道内繁殖”。


感情比较丰富的人做久这种工作会向两个极端发展:或对虱子又爱又恨产生变态心理,或极度压制感情而变得冷漠。


前面说的是技术含量较低的喂虱,还有一种喂虱工作是注射员,由患过伤寒症后已免疫的人员从事,给感染过的虱子喂养,薪水也较高。人手一个工作台,进行注射的同时也在腿上做第一种喂食。步骤如下:

1. 用酒精灯外焰给镊子消毒(化学课都做过)


2.用镊子配合酒精灯外焰消毒吸管(哪种吸管不清楚,仍作移液使用)


3.从虱笼中将虱子们镊至培养皿中(下图一,笼子里有些似乎已经死了),或直接用镊子将虱子一只一只从笼中镊出(下图二)




4.将虱子一只一只的夹在虱子夹中,只剩其身体前半部露出来在乱动(器具名乱安的,外型如下图)


5.用吸管将注射物抽出,将注射物置于显微镜下准备进行注射(注射物不明,如下图为红色液体,有可能是特殊血液,因为受感染的虱子特别脆弱易亡)。




6.开始注射。将吸管尖头插入虱子尾部,随着一声打气充的声音,注射物进入虱子体内,然后换下一个。下三图截取的是不同虱子个体,只为表现注射前、注射中和注射后虱子身体血液充实程度。(在截图里静止看虱子外边那一层有点像透明塑料纸,但片子里不断蠕动的虱子们是很让人没味口的)






由此,一轮注射结束。本以为“喂虱子”这种职业的确存在,在网上查了很久都没有相关资料。尽管如此,片中整个工作过程还是很慑人,说不定曾经真有那么一种职业,不知要在什么样的绝境才迫于从事这种生计。另“虱子”和“跳蚤”是两种不同昆虫,虱子以寄生为生存方式,产卵都在寄主上进行,跳蚤虽然吸血但却不寄生,在不干净的房间角落产卵化蛹。同学们要注意个人卫生啊,勤洗澡,勤换衣。

感谢小白

Photobucket Image Hosting


历经两天曲折,终于从和蔼可亲的快递手上拿到白瘪同学的礼物。知道我身处郊区,磕到下巴,嘴不怎么能塞进牙刷,还体贴地附了一瓶漱口水,真的是很感动啊。一本是塞林格的《麦田守望者》,还有一本是杰克·伦敦的短篇集。另两本旧杂志,很喜欢的。小白在外面要好好保护自己啊。

本学期伴侣 - HUAXIA 822

Photobucket

暑假在家时想起有个老爷机存着好久没用,当年它也威风过一阵,到大四也不会有什么课程,可以空出点钱买胶卷,于是在老妈的帮助下翻了出来。关于原制造厂,很可惜,可参看:http://home.chyangwa.com/friends/sy916/view.asp?recno=1935

华夏822,单反,国产无测光,快门修过一次。保存十分良好,1987年购,只比我小一岁,那时已花了200多元(淘宝同品相已跌至100元)。没带眼镜对了一下黄斑,已经比较模糊。不过非专业摄影用,对它成像已经比较满意。镜头40mm,F2大光圈,泛的光色很舒服。

神奇的老妈还翻出两卷03年的过期胶卷,富士100 & 200,看看能不能影出特别效果。好多年没装胶卷了。 ;D

Oh Father!

"Going back to basics, to where it all began!"

Chelsea: I wanna take this opportunity to thank my wonderful wonderful daddy for sparing a large amount of his precious time, being so considerate and having bought me a Back to Basics (limited tour edition) during his travel.

Russian Doll, Dolls

Photobucket

Now I'm back to school from the winter break. 50 days flashed by. Not so much could be done but destructed in such peculiar weather: dreadfully cold in Southern China. Other daily matters seemed to shrink into nothing compared to the frozen temperature. So I mostly spent every day shifting from bed to the computer chair, trifling with little weirdos in dad's bookshelf where this Russian doll, or say, Russian dolls lied.

Last time I saw it/them was many many years ago. Not sure what it calls, just name it Russian doll/dolls. I reckon that many people have one/them or at least seen one/them in store. This one/these ones I've got in hand is/are not delicately carved and painted. It's/They're made from tough material, poor color painted with scattered glittery powders. XD Nonetheless, in general, the structure remains the same which serves as an inspiring life philosophy for me:

a. there is always more inside;
b. you are always framed within a circle.

P.S: Bigger has smaller in. Google it, an interesting site http://russian-crafts.com/nest/history.html with a word "Matryoshka" popped out.

A Phat Postcard

Photobucket

Combining a self-entertaining attitude with the great determination of Red Army who are holding the red books of Mao, this postcard from Lis got my chin laughed off (not really, it's a metaphor). XD Yeah, celebrate for my cow volume in my first Blogger!^^ I attach the card to the fridge door as a warning of any action that would lead to a bigger size.

I remember there is a cheesy film called Phat Girls. By PHAT (pronounced the same as "fat") , it means Pretty, Hot and Thick. Some people take T for Temptating. ;D So, being [faet] is not really awful. ;)
