夢•憶
本來也沒有很想去看這部電影的，只是這些日子看到的都是對此片的回應頗為正面，就去看了。一看之後驚為天人，是說好看的科幻片已經買少見少。其實本片故事結構極其簡單，可是拉長到兩小時填補了細節部份卻不覺單薄。相較同是科幻包裝的The Host（譯名《宿主》或《天煞奇緣》），此片拍得更富詩意。雖然兩部片都有情愛的描述，但是手段的高低完全不再同一個檔次上。

e-learning?
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.

生日·夜
这几天的夜晚都过得有点意思，先说说我22岁的第一天。这天是我中学同学从宿舍大老远回来度假的其中一天，原本想跟她要回我寄放她家已久的一本书，但是后来我打算索性送给她算了。因为我放了好几次鸽子，所以在怎么都好她既然少下来，而我最近真得都在无所事事，就出去跟她见面。不过事先又跟她说不要张扬说今天是我的生日。不过这班中学朋友还算是有心的，在那么多年后还记得我是什么日子生日，可怜他们拥有一个记性如老人家的朋友常常搞错他们的生日。

把一兩則推文演變成肥皂劇的完整攻略
今天在推特上，不知怎的大夥整個在走一個溫馨路線。推文的溫馨程度，就只差沒有大家抱在一起痛哭流涕了。不說不知道，原來在這個五月天，大家狀況都不是很好。這裡說的不是什麼選後症候群，而是大家身體似乎不知怎的同時抱恙。是說如果是巧合，整個也太戲劇化。是說看到此文的朋友們多多保重，尤其是最近天氣甚熱要多點喝水。

地狱俏新娘
趁着忙碌中的一点空闲，闷闷的我又一个人出去看电影了。这次看的是好像不太热门的动画片-Corpse Bride（可能是我迟看吧）。本来影评写这部片子是部黑色喜剧，但是我从戏院出来的当儿的感觉却只有一丝淡淡的遗憾，所以有一点受骗的感觉。不知道看过的人怎么想？
故事很短，也可以说很丰富，故事是集中在主角Victor的离奇历险。面对暴发户父母的“逼婚”，Victor很匆忙地向濒临破产的贵族家庭千金Victoria要进行婚礼了。幸运的是，两位第一次见面就来电了，所以情节到此开始浪漫了起来（原来西方国家也兴盲婚哑嫁的……）。可是，浪漫的感觉并不延续多久，因为男主角的紧张，所以连简单的誓言虽然经过几个小时的排练却还是练不熟。间中也闯出一些祸端，导致双方家长关系更加紧绷。
失望的准新郎于是一步步走向森林，走着走着，压力也开始舒缓了。当他渐渐能够把誓言拼凑出来，并且很流利地排练一次动作后，离异的历险开始了。当他把把誓言一口气背出来，然后把戒指套进一根树枝上后，树枝在他不知不觉中变成一具美女尸体的手骨。接着这串手骨抓着男主角想把他拉到地底去。吓破胆的新郎（婚礼仪式已经完成，只是新娘不是Victoria）于是挣脱那串手骨，向前飞奔。但是人算不如尸算，美女尸体（或者说是他的老婆了）他还是被带到“鬼”新娘（Emily）的世界去。
当然接下来发生了一点事，当多情的男主角终于肯正式迎娶Emily的时候，在他喝下毒药（鬼要配鬼）之际却被“鬼”新娘制止。已经觉悟的新娘终于想通了决定放弃这份缘分并且把这个姻缘许给Victoria。此时此刻，刚好一直冤着Emily的人终于出现，而且得到了应有的制裁。在了了心事后，她“羽化登仙”了（这个画面超赞）。而有情人也终成眷属了……
当然，我说了那么多你可能不见得有任何遗憾，这种感觉唯有你在看完整部电影后才能细细回味。虽然是不同的类型，可是我觉得这部动画比Chicken Little的质感更胜一筹，更细腻。如果不是经过大力宣传，我实在看不出是一步Stop-Motion的电影，因为这部动画比我之前看过的Stop-Motion更加顺畅而且细腻，简直到了所谓电脑三维动画的水准，虽然和Shrek相比仍嫌幼稚，但是在同类的动画来说，这部动画可说是上上之选了。
