I'm pretty sure I'm in bad mood at this moment. I guess I am mad at myself…I’ve been suffering from insomnia in recent, mostly because I'm really anxious to get back onto a normal work/sleep cycle…

I just checked Brendan’s Chinese blog , which made me to resist the urge to leave a rude comment in reply to the stupid ones. I’m so sick of some people saying things like “Chinese culture ‘have extensive knowledge and profound scholarship’, you can't even begin to understand it as a foreigner�. There’s no doubt about Chinese culture is really cool, but I doubt if those ignorant arrogant commenters can understand a bit of it or try to study. So sometimes I left comments on his blog to teach them a lesson – I am not intelligent, but I believe in this case it’s just about common sense.

Reading wuxia novels and having a bad memory for years, generally, I use three ways to fight: 1) slash throat directly – their own stupidity guarantees that there'll be holes in their argument; 2) kill in a bloodless way – convincing but mean; 3) pitting one burst of strength against another – quote from some respectable author or the author they mentioned, like Lu Xun. All above requests to be written in the classical literary style, at least, sounds elegant, but mean!!

Just now, I was just going to say: “Hey, why don’t you fuck off, dipshit?� It’s bad to be lazy and moody, so I didn’t say that…Maybe someday I will, when I am really want to be lazy and moody to some people annoy me so much.

Now I feel sleepy...

Bored…When I’m bored, I search for blogs. Unfortunately, the type of most blogs I found was not my cup of tea, but I still "read", in other words, I was just staring at screen.

Wait, I didn’t get nothing the past two hours, at least, I found an argument here. I didn’t read many posts on that blog, simply because it was not that powerful to bring me patience. But I read this, which seems the most “popular� post, and first few comments…

@I do not understand: First of all, what a stupid name you have. Second of all, you’re welcome to go visit another blog if you don’t like this one. I encourage you to do so. Third, I’m not going to wait 20-50 years, thanks. Finally, where’d you get your funky English?

Wow, surprise! Reading on the web rarely, it’s my first time to find such a stupid guy who doesn't mind showing his stupidity and rudeness (I'm so confident now). I really admire his courage!

As for if there’re lots of complaints on that blog, it totally doesn’t matter. It’s not a matter of the bad sides of China at all and I guess most of what he said is true but not his personal feelings only. As a Chinese, any suggestions that can make my country better are welcome, whatever in an ironic way or “humorous� way. I just feel unbelievable the way he talked. Luckily, I’m not “I do not understand�, I do understand I’m welcome to stay away this DD, who is too intelligent to talk with.

I’m pissed off with “forget it�! I don't like to hear that, nor do I like to say that. I would rather do as an old saying “silence is golden� than “forget it�!

The picture is my current mood, you can forget it, but later!

Being inconvenient for reading, the book cover with such kind of stupid dust jacket really annoys me. So I think I should spit and stamp on it then kick it out of window, but normally I just toss it into the trash bin.

I have such a PRODIGIOUS brain, it is filled with all sorts of wonderful ideas. Do you agree? If you do, please keep silent…or, tell me what popped into your head at the moment when I described my brain.

Yeah, I got a surprise when my friend showed me this page (actually, I seldom get pleasant or complete surprise). Although I don't know what is Blog yet and I wouldn't classify myself as a blogger, who cares, I was on a magazine accidentally, I am very happy now! Should I thank anybody...

(-No.1 Li: Hey, what a big deal, do you think you met James Spader or got a role in lordofrings -No.2 Li: Hey, what the hell are you talking about, don't be that shallow! Do I have to yell at you?!)

So I would thank my friend who gave me this space, and Marcello, Paul, Ole, John,Majing who used to or still like to visit and talk about interesting stuff with me now, especially my dearest snowball... At last, I would thank the editor who has beautiful eyes to find my website, "talented artist (I know I'm definitely not though)", she is a talented editor...

Good night, ladies and gentlemen, have a good weekend!

I got a complaint from a reader as a result of a piece of illustration about that you’d better not to be confused with too many bank cards. Look at it, can you tell something wrong? Oh, yes, you might tell the background is similar to this. But I never deny I’m a little lazy and cunning, especially know how to take advantage of namelessness. So, anything else you can see? Do you realize I made a political mistake AGAIN?!

The reader said I shouldn’t put “REPUBLIC OF CHINA� on it only, because that means 中�民国, is it? I don’t want to look up in the dictionary for that. I’m not going to tell him the PEOPLE’S part is covered with a circle shape for the composition of the picture or something like"art is BORDERLESS" and why you focused on the letters of the background only (this picture is not art , but I think I’m able to cheat the laymen sometimes…), I think I should admit I made a serious mistake, just for money’s sake. Well, TAIWAN PROBLEM is really a big problem (particularly for me), they’re right!

Thanks that reader for looking at my illustration so carefully. I’m just curious why people are so sensitive sometimes, such as Taiwan problem or Japan problem, is it the proof of your patriotism or proved you’re a little weak.

This is Mr. Weather I drew for the newspaper that my sister works for. I think he’s very pathetic, as I created him in a hurry so forgot to give him a brain. Maybe it has nothing to do with time, I just have no that gift to make a cartoon character. I didn’t like watching most animated films and reading fairy tales since I was a kid. I feel it’s so tired to read a cartoon book, because I couldn’t find where is conversation between too many characters.

I’m going to give a gift to my nephew with the money I made by selling Mr. Weather, why not? When I ordered him to steal a bottle of good whisky from his dad, he said yes without any hesitation. What a good boy, what a good little aunt who will give him his favorite stuff, and what a wonderful cooperation, except Mr. Weather is innocent.

One night I finished work very late, and somehow I scared one of the girls I work with as I was walking down the dark corridor (I didn’t really do anything, but she was kneeling on the floor too scared to lift her head). You see, my hairs a little darker than most people, and a little straighter. My eyes are a little bigger than most people, and a little brighter. My skins a little paler than most people, and a little more translucent. So, if you catch me coming down a dusky corridor, I look a little more like a ghost than most people.

She said I looked like the ghost from “School Mystery� (I think that’s the only ghost story she’d seen. The Japanese title is much better, “Rebirth of Hanako-san in the Toilet Room�). It’s about a girl, who nobody collects from school, and on the way home from school she meets someone evil . . . and so she becomes a ghost, appearing in the school toilets. I forget what actually happens, but she’s a classic ‘Japanese Ghost’

For most Chinese people, the classic ‘Chinese Ghost’ is Xiao qian in the film Chinese Ghost Story, which was based on China’s best known ghost story< �斋志异>(Don’t know the name of its English Version, seems the translator is Herbert A Giles). That book uses ghosts to reflect the social problems of the time (I hate use “reflect� in the review of books). The female ghosts in the book are all bright and clever, and you can feel sorry for them. Meanwhile, all the men are bookish scholars, so you get the beautiful ghosts serving the men as they pore over their books. So Japanese ghosts have an aesthetic of grief, silence and terror while Chinese ghosts just have to be pitied as they fall in love from beyond the grave.

When this job I have now is finished, I’m going back to freelancing. I’ve got some work already, dull but good money. I deal with the boredom by listening to ghost stories (I’ve already bought a CD full), but they all have a moral of ‘be good to people, and you won’t fear the ghosts knocking on the door at night’, and that’s no fun.

I’d love to tell the ‘real’ ghost stories I heard at university, but Confucius told us not to speak of strange forces and roaming spirits . . . I’ll keep my mouth shut.

PS If I sent this picture to that girl, she might die of the shock . . .the other pictures is from Chinese Ghost Story

�天夜里看电视里周�昌谈张爱玲的《红楼梦魇》，�然生出罪�感�，觉得好久�读书了，想读的书疲惫的脑��承载�了（�什么“五四��动，弄得现在语言和文字的分离，使得我读�文很困难，讨厌）。我觉得这�罪�感是好的，��生怕这�罪�感就这么罪�下去或者被忘�了。昨儿和��说起，我们都用的一个�就是“堕��。

P.S. Winter is coming, I don't like cold weather,especially when i get up in the morning. Sometimes I wanna give up this website --- maybe it's just complaint, I wanna give up many things when I'm tired,but it shouldn't be called "放下"，I'm not that good enough

I’m not sure if I’m weird. Sometimes I can’t help laughing at some little things, even though they’re not that funny. It doesn’t happen to me often, but it did today (So I’m very tired because of laughing a lot ). I’m too busy? So it’s the way to lighten the pressure? Oh, come on, actually, I hate to use “busy�, I would rather be described “lazy�.

I’ve thought write about some fights happened in the office this afternoon, but I gave up just now. I won’t get used to the life that work is a big part of it, although it spends most of time in my life now. One of my favorite book is the essays about the leisurely life, I like to read something like “Doing nothing� �Wisdom of Laziness� “Why man like to make himself remain unconscious�, anyway, good excuses or reasons I need (So weak?!). That’s why I’m not going to talk about the work stuff, because it said women look older than men because they’re not as lazy as man, in other words, less work, Thinking about work is a part of work, I don’t want to look older than the man in my age, simple.

The day after tomorrow is National Day, so we’ll have a week holiday. A guy asked me what I’m gonna do during it, I said I will be as lazy I can. Bliss!!

I'm finally going back to work again, goodbye to my patient days . . .

All the students will go back to school tomorrow. I was always scared of the start of school, even though I was the teacher's pet. I feel like I'm waiting for the start of school now, waiting to be processed.

Maybe it's some kind of nightmare I was born with. No matter how free you look at work or school, a big cage is still a cage - but maybe we'd be even more scared without the walls - would we have the wisdom to deal with freedom?

I hate the moment when you walk through the school gate or the office door, thinking about it's made me nervous for 20 minutes every hour today. Ha, am I wise?

Time for bed. I feel calmer when I think about all those cute people waiting for me in my books . . .

我终于�去上�了，告别�病人的日�…

明天是所有学生开学的日å­?，我自å°?就有对开学的æ??惧，å?³ä½¿æ˜¯è€?师的宠儿。我现在的心情犹如等待开学的心情，等待进入æŸ?ç§?程åº?的心情。

这也许是æŸ?ç§?与生俱æ?¥çš„梦魇å?§ï¼Œå°½ç®¡æˆ‘看起æ?¥æ— è®ºæ˜¯åœ¨å?•ä½?还是在学校里看起æ?¥æœ€è‡ªç”±çš„，笼å­?å†?大也还是笼å­?，å?¯æ˜¯å¦‚果没有边界，我å?ˆæ˜¯å?¦ä¼šæ??慌，我是å?¦çœŸæœ‰æ™ºæ…§æ¬£ç„¶æŽ¥å?—放é€?？

我就是ä¸?喜欢è¸?进校门或办公室的那一刻，仅仅这一刻，就会使我今天有一å°?时二å??分钟的ä¸?安，这就是我的智慧？

��了，想到有�爱的书里的人物伴我，总算�然了

At least at this moment, I'm not going to write about you, or I will miss you much and cannot sleep...

And I won't see you in my dream, or it would be painful after waking up in the next morning ...

Is there any place to memory the inventor of you?

to be continued...
