Addicted


These two days, I have been addicted to a small online-game, "Mushroom Farm Revolution" . The idea is to put the mushroom-like guns to appropriate locations along the path where the targets emerge wave by wave. Once the gun is set, you don't need to trigger it to shoot. It will find its targets as long as they are within its shooting range. You start with the money only enough to buy two guns. You can make money out of killing the enemies. Aside from guns, you can also buy gun accessories to enhance the gun power, which are 5 color precious stones. The idea of the color stones is the same as the Chinese Wu-Xing, which means each color will weaken one kind of enemy but enhance the other. So it is curial to equip the right stone. By making different combination of the stones your gun can have different functions, such as 5% chance of instant death, 3% chance of slow the enemies, 5% chance of more bullets, and etc. So here I am, keep playing it for 2 nights and stuck at level four. And keep playing it in dreams.

One more night passed and still no break through over level4, I decide to search strategy online. The first link came up in google, its title read like this "Mushroom Farm Revolution - Free Strategy Game from AddictingGames". What do I say?

【文摘】 朱棣文 Steven Chu

[Time] May 11, 2009 全球100位最有影响的人物

身为科学家的一大难题,也许是学会如何在言谈中不流露出科学家样来。朱棣文就精于此道-而这点对我们所有人是好的。朱,61岁,美国新任能源部长,曾在1997年因其尖端物理研究(esoteric studies in physics)而获得过诺贝尔奖,而同时他还致力于分子层面上的生物研究。

然而,也许朱最大的影响力还是来自于能源领域。身为倡导美国终止对石油依赖的长期代言人,朱以其能力和魄力受到了总统Barack Obama的青睐。地球气候的未来依赖于我们重新思考如何使用能源,尽管他的两项优点都将同等重要,但是其魄力也许是最令人耳目一新的。

在他办公室的首次访谈中,面对Los Angeles Times,他坦诚如果我们不行动以改变气候,那么到本世纪末内华达Sierra山顶的积雪将融化,届时加州的农业将无法幸存。 对于关注此事的人这是个明摆着的事实,但是这样的事实我们却已经很久没从政府官员口中听到过了。朱棣文的魄力也许将开创一股全新的坦率之风。

周末

脸还是肿着,体积小到一定程度,就不再缩小了,肿过的地方,现在看起来好像擦了碘酒,黄绿黄绿的。一直下雨。花粉过敏又开始了。所以宅在家里,看pps。
跟的美剧都没有更新,发现abc的新剧castle挺好看,男主角是DH里曾和lynett有过险情的厨师,他的嘴部的表情很像bruce willies,女主角是个美丽的干探,专管凶杀案。该剧的chemical很对我胃口。顺便把大奥又看了一遍。日剧和美剧比较像的地方是不嘲笑观众的智商。但是下雨天还是不宜看日剧,简直要闷死人了。
下雨天,牛顿一周都没有机会出门跑步,也很忧郁,所以决定见啥咬啥。但是地上的东西都被我收起来了,选择实在不多。他于是满屋子学么,找各种纸制品过嘴瘾,他的最大乐趣就是“咬得粉粉碎”,拿手好戏是叼面纸,咬得粉粉碎。晚上终于给他逮到机会,趁着傍晚灯还没开很昏暗的时候,叼到了窥却已久的那块栓皮栎隔热垫,等我回过味来的时候,是他又在我脚下撒尿,一看已经是一地碎屑了。被我一把揪住,扭送牢房。可是他咬得还不够碎的能被吸尘器顺利清理,今天晚上回去,我还要修理一下吸尘器。
