Two cases recently

Woo no time to waffle

first one is about Skins, the TV programme. i still believe we cannot just focus on the drug or sex. the directer just want us to focus on the younger generation. they r having too much pressure right now, family issues and study. drug is just one way to escape. but drug and sex really help this programme make their way in China.

Berlin and Beijing. the Olympic games. i just dont know what to say, i admit in some articles they got some brilliant ideas about the similarity between these two. but the others r crap. Anyway, really looking forward to professor's research on it.

Rush work.

Edward R. Murrow, the famous electronic journalist and former head of the U.S. Information Agency during John F. Kennedy's presidency, once said in an interview that the critical link between two peoples in international communications was "bridged by the personal contact" in "the last three feet."

This one is not relevant: The last three feet is also where the rubber meets the road. It means "the most important thing is".



blablabla

Full of combination of words.
