终于跟警察说话了

发文纪念我第一次被警察 pull over。2007年4月22日晚10点宾州US 220 Williamsport 出口附近限速55迈开75迈。 装孙子成功获得一个口头警告，免了罚单。但是毁了3年差3周的驾车清白史。警察是个年轻帅哥，用高亮电筒照得我眼睛发麻。 说在后面跟了我1.5 迈。还关切的问我: "Why did you look so nervous?" 答:"第一次跟警察叔叔说话心里怕." 告别的时候对我说“Take it easy and be careful driving". 语气友好得让我在异国他乡的黑夜里感到了温暖。 遂以此文作为决心书， 保证以后不再超速。

Movie Notes: how it was started

I used to watch many movies before I entered college, two or three in a week, good ones and bad ones. I kept a small notebook with a full list of every movie I had watched. Every time after the movie, I carefully wrote down the title of the movie, followed by the director and casting crew, and ended with the great little number: the score I awarded to the movie. It was a serious score; sometimes I was struggling for days for giving a fair score. This list grew to almost filled out the notebook, maybe close to a thousand entries. It was my precious. But I lost it when I was in college.

My interest for movie began to fade during my college years. Maybe because I grew up and started to keep myself busy in a realistic world; or maybe the small notebook and the score were such a huge motivation, but it was gone.

Today, I happened to remember the lost notebook, and came out with the wired idea that without keeping a line for the movie I watched, I also lose the sentiment of the movie which once touched me. So here is the start of my note of movies.
