Pretty

VS

Lazy Broad

其实啊,我家养的这只叫作小可爱(洋名Pretty)的鸟,从各个方面来讲一点都不象只
鸟。相反,从很多方面来说倒象是个人-----而且是象一个很恐怖的人。谁? 我!
这些都是我那“疼我爱我的老公”说的,他还说我在潜移默化的影响着可爱。老公
说小可爱身上至少有三处象我。



第一,小可爱很懒,每天除了睡,就是吃。吃饱了睡,睡饱了继续吃。(懒婆娘语评:
这是我理想的幸福生活啊。可惜让小可爱享受去了)。
人家家里养的小鸟还会练练飞翔技术,偶尔在家中饶屋翱翔数周,锻炼锻炼翅膀。
好么,这只鸟,有翅膀同没有没什么两样。偶尔在家里鸭款度步,还留下一屁股
“炸弹”要人擦。而且很聒噪,呱啦呱啦没得停。人说话,他也说。如果可爱是个女人,
一定是个长舌妇

第二,可爱是个自恋狂,臭美得一塌糊涂。每天离不开镜子,他最喜欢在他唱歌的
时候欣赏自己俊美的身形了。如果把镜子突然间从他面前拿走,他会大叫,直到你
把镜子还回给他。小可爱这点最象懒婆娘了,懒婆娘有BDD,每天照镜子比吃饭放屁
还勤快。哪儿有镜子,就算打死懒婆娘她都不走了。(懒婆娘评语:这倒也奇怪了,
难道真的是什么样的人养什么东西?)

第三,小可爱吃东西很刁。他有三不吃-----不好吃的不吃,不嫩的不吃,不贵的不
吃。不好吃的没什么味道的他不会碰,西兰花中间最嫩的部分他才会吃,稍老的部分,他
连看都不会看。小可爱最喜欢吃海鲜,大条虾他可以吃半条。

我老公最后的评语: 我的妈呀,我简直是和两个懒婆娘一起生活啊!!!!

注:白痴妞讲的就是 BDD 就是 Body Dysmorphic Disorder

下午和白痴妞在家闲得无聊,突然想到古人的一句话“读万卷书不如行万里路”,读
一卷书已然头痛了,莫说是万卷。行一里路,已经头重脚轻了,别说是万里。但不
行路,岂不成废人了吗。于是决定同妞远足登山一下,去吸取大自然的精华。
康州高楼大厦没几间,但山呀河呀的倒蛮多的(整个一个穷乡僻壤)。所以找山爬,
不怕找不到。远的不说,近的就在不远--Sleeping Giant State Park。

这个州立公园蛮大的,有--- 嗨!总之很大就是咯。我们商量了半天,决定不要叫身
体太劳累了,就选了最短的一条路线爬。这条路线长约1.5英里,是去 stone castle
最近的一条路(两点一线直线最近嘛)。

虽说英里听起来不是很长,但因为一路都是上坡路,况且还要抵防随时一不小心就会
踩响的“狗屎炸弹”,所以我们也无心留恋周围的景致。
半小时过后,终于到达目的地了---所谓的什么“城堡”。 简直是破屋一间(我呸!)

我在“城堡”下,惺惺作态,摆出一副胜利者的姿态。令人作呕。

剧烈运动让我们疲累,白痴妞提议去吃面。这家靠近耶鲁大学的面家因为价钱低廉而
颇受学生喜爱,自然成为廉价白痴妞的天堂。

我的日本天堂面,一杯boba tea。白痴妞叫了个XO牛仔骨,一盆炒豆苗,
总共四十块

打着饱嗝的我,看上去很gay

等哪天有空了,懒婆娘带你们去书店里面走走。

人多,车多,肮脏,嘈杂--你们喜欢的New York loh,但我却很扛门(上海方言 不liki之意).
虽然不是很愿意来纽约,但每次都不得不来。
今天来的目的---修剪一下我的鸡窝头。两个月没去修头发,就象两个月没来月经,心情很
郁闷。还好今天停车场还蛮空的,不象上次为了个停车位,差点跟一个biyatch大打出手。

又是Traffic Jam 郁闷~~

今天Salon也蛮空的(奇怪,人都死哪儿去啦)。

天哪,我的头发上插满了电线和管子。爱美,是要付出代价滴。后面那位美女是我的
洗头师。她好温柔。

两个小时的等待好漫长,白痴妞等得脖子都长了,已经开始不耐烦,我的肚子
也饿得咕咕直叫。
嗨,终于等到懒婆娘一天中第二最happy 的辰光啦.

这家叫作膳坊的四川酒家是我和白痴妞最近发现的一处好去处。白痴妞上次
吃到鼻涕眼泪直飙,但还是大叫痛快。Left Conch Sichuan Style
Right Deep Fried Pork Ribs ~~Very Garlicy~~

但好吃的还在后面呢。隆重推出~~

水煮牛(Sliced Beef In Fresh Hot Pepper)。哇~~好棒!
白痴妞这次连鼻涕都吞下去了。

最后给大家看看我的头发--已不象鸡窝了,但跟以前好象没什么太大的不同。
一百快gone,心痛ing

善待外邦人
我和哈尼同在我们常去的教堂里任执事(board of deacons)。 我们经常互相取
笑说终于如愿以偿地成为了"pillars of the community" (社会的中流砥柱)。
上个礼拜,牧师突然召开紧急执事会议,商讨要事。原来是我们教堂里有四位教徒将会被
美国联邦政府以不合法公民驱逐出境。爸爸妈妈连同两个女儿特向教堂求助帮忙想
办法。爸爸妈妈英文不大会讲,从他们的女儿口中知道他们大概十年前从巴西偷渡
来美国,父母一直以不合法身份打工糊口,现大女儿已大专毕业,小女儿还在念高
中。他们恳求教堂能不能想个办法聘请妈妈担任个什么职位。

我们的牧师是个义人,有心想帮她。但因为教堂带薪的职位已满,想把她推荐给另
外一家教堂。考虑到那家教堂百分之八十以上的教徒是从巴西来的,说不定她能在
那里找到事做。所有牧师特地把这些执事的找来,询问他们是不是同意这样帮他。

众所周知,在美国申请办移民相当麻烦。手续繁琐,程序复杂,等待时间漫长,非
一般人可以搞得定,非得要聘请专门办移民签证的律师才行。关于移民方面的常识,
跟普通美国人讲,他们是完全不懂的,也完全不理解。我和哈尼都不是本地人,十
分能理解个中的艰辛,所以选支持她。

当牧师问到一个其中叫Tony的执事时,他一口拒绝,一下是他讲话的大概内容:

If something has to do with a foreign language I oppose.
This is my principle and belief. We are living in America.
Everbody should speak English. If I hear people speak a foreign language in front of me, I feel offended coz I don't know whether they are talking about me behind my back or not. Both my parents came from Italy. My dad used to say you'v got to speak English and this is America. He went to classes to learn English. I sympatize with
them but it's my belief.


我和哈尼听了都气愤。都不敢相信这是一个基督徒所讲的话,决定写封信给牧师,这是我写的信

Dear Pastor Bob,

How are you? Mike and I went to the Board of Deacons meeting on Sunday and we both symphatize with the plight of that poor Portuguese family--The whole family is about to be deported unless they could find other ways to stay. He also told me how insensitive some of the so-called "pillars of the community" dealt with the situation and reflected on the issue, which I found to be quite upsetting to say the least. Although I myself do not find hiring the mother as an employee
in our church a viable solution to the problem, refusing to refer her to other churches is simply turning a deaf ear to people in dire state of need.Shame on them. Maybe Tony should read the church covenant at the back of the Hymn Notes which says

Aid each other in sickness and DISTRESS.

and take it to heart instead of merely paying lip service to it. They need help not lecture.

I've been living in this country for a long time and I appreciate American culture, its values especially its diversity. However I am still more comfortable dealing with my "own people"or listening to the sermon in Chinese if given the chance. It's not shunning away from the American culture but a matter of personal preference. "Embrace our culture or leave" or 'Speak our language or leave" is an unreasonable stance for any country( or church in this case) to take. That's the reason why a lot of banks these days hire people who are bilingual simply because they feel they can reach the customer/audience better to those whose first
language is not English.

Pator Bob, I know you are a very nice person who likes to help people.
Mike had talked to one of the guys at work who happens to be a
Portuguese. He knows a lawyer who might be of help to the family. He
will be contacting you shortly. Thank you for listening.
