Movie - 古都
《古都》為日本作家川端康成在晚年於1962年發表的一部中篇小說。书名“古都”指的是日本京都
《古都》基本上表現出日本傳統的美學思想，藉由京都在戰後的人事內外在的情事糾葛、失散姐妹的離合情懷、男女的愛戀、傳統的媒妁婚姻。並配以日本傳統祭典所表現的內在拘謹心理意識之外顯，而透露出日本文化中的物哀、風雅、與幽玄的獨特美感。
《古都》是川端康成末年之作，討論川端康成一貫關心的主題，包括：兩性之間的鴻溝、兩性差異的焦慮、單純無邪的嚮往、人間和自然的結合、環境和個性 的結合--古都同時探討居住戰後古都京都的藝術家對現代與傳統的愛憎情理，現代很吸引人，又使人迷惘，社會在變，大眾的文學品味也在變，如何在現代化過程 中站得住腳而保留傳統性質是個大問號。
小說的一大特色是描述了京都的多個節日，包括平安神宮的時代祭、葵祭、鞍馬寺的伐竹會、祇園祭、「大字」篝火儀式等。小說中還以京都的各處名勝為背景，演繹人物的故事。

Noodle Nivana - Chestnut street
No doubt,
I am a noodle lover,
during the four years when I was in Berea,
I always made my own noodles when I had time on weekends,
as I didn't like much on pizza nor bread,
and there were not many choices on campus.
Therefore just now,
when I got the news that in Berea there is a new noodle shop,
can't believe in a small town like Berea,
someone invested in the Old Town/Chestnut Street,
for the oriental students/ students/town people.
I think it would be a wonderful eating experience.
Visited the web-site,
read the menu,
started to realize that Mae is the owner,
she is Thai and was living 1F of my dorm.
Congratulation to her!
She didn't leave US when she completed her degree,
and she devoted herself to the college,
glad to learn that she made something different on campus,
and built her own shop!

Who moved my cheese - Spencer Johnson
Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life, published on September 8, 1998, is a motivational tale by Spencer Johnson written in the style of a parable or business fable.
The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice and two "little people," during their hunt for cheese.
A New York Times business bestseller upon release, Who Moved My Cheese? remained on the list for almost five years and spent over 200 weeks on Publishers Weekly's hardcover nonfiction list. It has sold more than 26 million copies worldwide in 37 languages and remains one of the best-selling business book
With Who Moved My Cheese? Dr. Spencer Johnson realizes the need for finding the language and tools to deal with change--an issue that makes all of us nervous and uncomfortable.
Most people are fearful of change because they don't believe they have any control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either to the individual or by the individual, Spencer Johnson shows us that what matters most is the attitude we have about change.
When the Y2K panic gripped the corporate realm before the new millenium, most work environments finally recognized the urgent need to get their computers and other business systems up to speed and able to deal with unprecedented change. And businesses realized that this was not enough: they needed to help people get ready, too.
Spencer Johnson has created his new book to do just that. The coauthor of the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager has written a deceptively simple story with a dramatically important message that can radically alter the way we cope with change. Who Moved My Cheese? allows for common themes to become topics for discussion and individual interpretation.
Who Moved My Cheese? takes the fear and anxiety out of managing the future and shows people a simple way to successfully deal with the changing times, providing them with a method for moving ahead with their work and lives safely and effectively.
