It's not too much trouble to look around qq.com and sina.com.cn, and to find some of the new short movies that may presage a new era in Asian film. This Chinese movie is 39 minutes.

In the karaoke room 5 minutes in, he says:

"You're pretty good, how about we sing "That Evening" now?"
- That Evening? That Evening is quite a mushy song! You have a chief's personality and I don't have what it takes to sing it!

Blush Magazine

Classics

Sweet 'n' Sour

Here at 26 Letters and other Accountable Blog Communication Products, we strive for an overly genteel tone so we don't get sent to the penalty box by the ref. It gets to be sweet, it gets to be diabetic, when we find some quality vinegar to add to the mix, it goes right in.

This is from 爾雅, which is a very varied world, this part of it is like the David Spade comedy on tv a few years ago. Star Trek, sports documentaries, reggae videos, it's all there, if it's good today it was good 1000 years ago. Or whatever.

If one is curious about 爾雅, it can be researched on English-language Google just by putting 爾雅 into the search area.

This comes out looking a lot like the article titles on the cover of Blush Magazine, with quite a lot of transparency and distortion included.

1 打開字典 釋樂: 宮謂之重。商謂之敏。角謂之經。徵謂之迭。羽謂之柳。 College memories: Telling your current beau about the heavy connections between family women, stockbroker women, culture vulture entertainment industry women, right wing rules and regulations women, and all the other groovy chicks you know!

4 打開字典 釋樂: 大鼓謂之鼖,小者謂之應。 ... and as far as heavy metal is concerned, if you get tired of it, it's easy to move the musical situation over to some heavenly African drumming or high-life, after you've got control of the mp3s!

5 打開字典 釋樂: 大磬謂之毊。 Whatever kind of promises or promissory-like statements he might make at any time during any kind of very passionate love-making, or whatever, you make the effort to take him up on it for real, all jokes to the side, 100%, at a later time!

6 打開字典 釋樂: 大笙謂之巢,小者謂之和。 The key to life, ladies, is a guy who eats fruit and gets baked; a guy who 'does it' for inner peace.

8 打開字典 釋樂: 大塤謂之嘂。 If your guy or boyfriend isn't up on the latest tv shows and trendy slang, let him have it! You don't need to put up with a pail snail!

9 打開字典 釋樂: 大鐘謂之鏞,其中謂之剽,小者謂之棧。 Here's one: get your boyfriend a job watching a warehouse at night, and show up every night around 11 to 'do it' -- he may be so distracted and girl-happy about it that you could get the upper hand!

Elegance in a Squall: Bud Selig and the Philly Tampa Weather Breaks

Looking at [1], we see two somewhat related bodies of scholarly work.

爾雅 - Elegance in a squall.

小爾雅 - Mini Elegance in a squall.

Looking further we see that the "Elegance" sections are named "釋", makes me think of a person who has buried him or herself in the food of life. And the Mini Elegance sections are named "廣" or "broad, generalized", something like "horizon". The Wikiarticle [2] has a nice picture of a book:


In reading the title, one gets to thinking of how one might hear from one's parents or guardians about how wouldn't succeed in something difficult in life, in this case that of maybe working on a ship, when in fact working on a ship is just like living in a house with strict parents. It's metaphoric.

@@@@@@@

So what's the difference between "Elegance in a Squall" and "Mini Elegance in a Squall"? One isn't sure, it's just not obvious from reading the material.

@@@@@@@

The rain tends to fall on the ship and drain into the ocean. Discussion: What is the difference between the drainage system of a house; ie roof, gutters, sump, drying equipment; and that of a ship?

Limpopo River.

Discussion Question 2: Can a squall be elegant in and of itself?

1 Sure.
2 Maybe.
3 I don't think so.

Consider:

1
Cosmic dust can also be detected directly ('in-situ') using a variety of collection methods and from a variety of collection locations. At the Earth, generally, an average of 40 tons per day of extraterrestrial material falls to the Earth. [3]

2
The fine particulate matter produced by car exhaust and other human sources of pollution form cloud condensation nuclei, leads to the production of clouds and increases the likelihood of rain. [4]


3

The flag of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the center is clear blue like sky or water. With a star.

Have a good day.
