    二探墨西哥

    该死的签证又要到期了
    为了去巴西开会决定舍身再赴墨西哥
    好在去年和昌哥一起去过一次
    这回心里并没有很忐忑
    和mitbbs上约好的几个签友一路驾车来到边境
    过栅栏门,打的,银行排队交费,走路到屎馆
    去年底美国驻TJ的屎馆换了个新地址
    原来那个破破烂烂的
    很没有大邦之地驻外办事处的气派
    本以为新换的这个地儿能和贵国乡政府办公大楼有的一拼
    谁知道新的这个更破更烂
    难不成是原来那个危房改造,被迫临时挪的
    不过签证还是蛮顺利的
    和一个黑人mm胡扯了几句闲八儿就过了
    中午去一个还算不错的墨西哥餐馆体验了一把墨菜
    下午去当地的商店逛了逛
    取签证,回家
     
    接下来就是办巴西签证了
    希望不会被友好的巴西人民拒之门外

    good cheap wine - Fish Eye 2005 Cabernet Savignon

    a good california wine
    some reviews say the  2004 version is really bad
    some say the 2003 verison is super
    i found this 2005 one matches my taste very well
    not as dry as their merlot, not too acidic, fruity
    and only $7.99
    strongly suggested for new drinker like myself

    abandoned kitties in front of lab building

    two just born kitties are abandoned by the trash cans in front of our lab building
    this morning when i passed there
    some weak but sharp kitty crying made me feel guilty of ignoring them
    though americans love their pets like their family members
    still terrible things are happening here
    like the dog fighting club hold by the ex-football player
     
    if somebody wants pets, pls adopt those kitties

    finally got Tao's pami paper accepted

    T. Zhao, R. Nevatia, and B. Wu. Segmentation and Tracking of Multiple Humans in Crowded Environments.
    前后漠漠济济的拖了两年多
    终于使被接受了
    extremely out of date
    写手也不是好当的
    更何况只是个第三作者而已
    有这功夫还不如自己编呢

    Beach welcome party for new USC 9# guys

    at our traditional beach event spot, Redondo beach
    we had a welcome party for the new USC 9# guys, superhog, cher, sticky and xellos
    (not sure if i spell the id's correctly)
    it was a very nice saturday afternoon
    13 9# guys in three cars headed towards one of the most famous beaches of the golden state
    pretty cool, isn't it
    we played volleyball and soccer
    when there are many players each side
    the game is of lots of funs by even randomly hitting

    又是一年新生来

    新一波9#师弟师妹已经顺利安顿下来
    这几年9# USC分舵的实力不断壮大
    每周末去中国城买菜都浩浩荡荡
    当初真后悔没买个小公共
    目前最小的已经是0三字班了
    想想几个月前还和上一轮三字班的阿风同在一间办公室
    不禁唏嘘逝者如斯
    上周末喝酒的只有我和张聪
    想念北方的阿凤和昌哥
    还有虽在洛城但忙着相妻教子的雪峰
