tonight, tonight...and a meme

Tonight is Bones night. I will earn my right to drool by working hard until then! Right after this eensy teensy nap...

Yesterday was long but satisfying. I love visiting an experienced teacher's class -- I learned so much from watching LM lead a discussion. TWO students came to office hours! I LOVE them (but not in an unprofessional way ;) )! Class

I am not yet as good as my mother, but someday, I will be.

This is a promise I'm sure all daughters across space, time, and generations have made.

God knows I've made it, and I have yet to pick up a wok, though I manage a nice pair of sunny-side up eggs.

I'm getting closer...certainly I'm much more adept at using an oven than she is. But until I get a real kitchen with real tools? Yeah. Gonna be a fantasy.

太好了。

我看了你9日寫的部落格，十分喜歡。你對科學、中國詩歌、天文、電影批評等等學科的造詣是令人欽佩的。我和媽媽以你為傲。昨天我們從賞楓回來，去以前去過的一些地方，姊姊媽媽回憶起在一起旅行的快樂時光，真是希望早日同行出遊。你乾媽改在12月底才來。那時你可能回紐約了，希望她還可以到東部來。
上周末，我和媽媽去看「色、戒」，覺得不甚麼樣。姚家夫婦也看了。
不知道你會不會去看這個李安的新片。
祝好

ps.謝謝你訂的大西洋月刊，已經寄到家了。我很久沒有看這份雜誌，過去是我必讀刊物之一。

Dearest Baba!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! Of course, I inherited my passion for "useless" knowledge largely from your side of the family ;) . Do you remember teaching me to recite poetry?

I am so glad to hear you had a good time on your trip. I wish I could have been there -- but I was happy here, too, and there will be more opportunities.

Yes! Finally a new movie I should see. I've been going crazy because the movies in the theaters near me all suck, so I have to contend with traffic every time I find a movie I actually want to see. Then again, I don't have so many free evenings to go to movies anymore...

Love,
bb

PS: I didn't send you The Atlantic Monthly -- but I'm very glad you're enjoying it!

I wondered how Ernestine got her name - and I am so pleased to hear how you improved her living conditions when you inherited her from the previous tenant.

Thank you! I am so thankful that she is in my life -- nothing like living with a creature with very different needs to gently remind me that it's not ALL ABOUT ME ;) .

I LOVE your licking-cat icon! May I save it to look at when I'm feeling low? (My apartment doesn't allow us to own cats or dogs).

Thanks for stopping by :) .

Of course, although it is not totally mine to give - it was made by cozette_asahi - but is completely shareable.

Thank you for talking about your interests! The psychologist in me loves to hear what people are interested in and why, and how they got to be there. :)

You're welcome! Thank you for getting me started!
