端午节的两天

首先,端午节快乐。中国的公共假期。这一天我是完完全全的当了一个宅男,完全没有出过门,就在家煲之前买的DVD Bones。结果煲了一天一夜,还是没有煲完。今天,公司强制放假(经济实在是不景气)。为了不想再当宅男,所以早上到了健身房去。然后,下午就决定到韬奋西文书局去。因为很久没有到书局去闻闻书香了,顺便看看能物色到一些网上买不到(即没有电子版本)的书。结果,很幸运的让我找到《The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable》。书的背面提出了几个很有趣的问题:“What have the invention of the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common?”。其实,这本书说的是那一些看起来非常随意的事情却成为了我们生活的基础。听起来很玄,所以我才买下来。接下来的周末,看来就是刨书了!

First of all, Happy Dragon Boat Festival. It was yesterday, also China public holiday. I didn't go out at all, stayed in all day. Spent whole day watching Bones, the DVD I got. Even after a whole day, I still haven't finished the DVD. Today, the company initiated compulsory day off (you can tell how bad the economy is). So, instead of staying in all day like yesterday, which from common sense very unhealthy, I have decided to go out. After going to the gym in the morning, I have decided to go to Garden Books. Main reason is that I haven't been to any book store for a while now, and I kinda miss the book smell and the sensation of surrounded by books. Also, I hope to get a book, which I couldn't get online (i.e., ebook). Lucky for me, I found one, namely "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable". The reason I got this book (well, heard about this book before) is that there are plenty of interesting questions at the back of the book, one of which is "What have the invention of the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common?". So the book is about the random events that underlie our lives. Kinda interesting, and that attracts my attention. So, coming weekend, apparently I will just start enjoying this book.
