Suki Sunday.
今天吸收了什么有意义/ 好玩 / 有趣的 知识？FUN [ 好玩！]
纽约有一个非常好玩的酒店 ， 名叫 Gershwin Hotel.
Marva Papalavas says it's next to the museum of Sex.
I loooooove the very loving use of the word "monster" by the Gershwin people.
"A beauteous baby was born and she grew beyond the dreams of her parents. Our beautiful monster."
CUTE [ かわいい と 面白い ！]
Tokidoki created some very inspiring work and living spaces with its artwork.
I resolve to paint my office with such bright illustrations when the opportunity arises.
CONTEMPLATIVE [ 思考的空间 ] Part 1
从 NERVE.COM 认识了一位美国作家 Mary Gaitskill .
I like it that she calmly and critically looks at the way her world is constructed.
On feminism
“I once wrote a story that I never published, but I just looked at it again recently. It was about how in the '90s the criticisms were, "Feminism is bad because it's made women into neurasthenic asexual babies who are afraid to have intercourse!" or, "Feminism is bad because it's made women into sluts who only think about sex and don't have any sensitivity or desire for motherhood!" Whatever it was, it was feminism's fault.”
On Foucaultian conceptions of "madness" >
".....but I hate to subscribe to that utilitarian definition. It doesn't allow for time to slow down and look through the other person's eyes. But sometimes there isn't time, and sometimes it seems that however you slow down and how you look, you're never going to be able to connect with them anyway. But I still couldn't really define it. And I do think the diagnostic manual is mentally ill itself. It's so eager to classify so many different mental conditions as disturbed or problematic that you wonder what's left?"
On personal pain >
"Have you ever read what Nabokov said, that Chekhov wrote sad stories for humorous people, and in order to understand their humor you have to understand their sadness because they're connected? People don't get that now."

CONTEMPLATIVE [ 思考的空间 ] Part 2
从电视上认识了 《美学的经济》 这本书
白色iPod為何熱賣？
如何理解「美學」和「風格」的經濟價值？
什麼是「全球城市」？
「設計」為何是21世紀國家的「國力指標」？
如何由「專精代工」，過渡到附加價值更高的「品牌」或「設計」？
如何由「紀律的個人」，變身成「美感的個人」；由「勤奮生產者」，轉化成「自由消費者」？
The author, Mr Zhan Wei Xiong, asks the same questions I have been asking...
How do I become a "liberated consumer" ? How can we evolve from "Disciplined entities" to "Asthetic Individuals"?
Looks like there's a fair bit to read up.
Damn, when do I get to surfing???????
