陪roommate去u-village，就随便逛了一下A&F，这家的裤子即使套在俺的大粗腿上也真好看啊，可惜就是太贵了，55

Dear Sir, Madame, or Other:

Enclosed please find our latest version of MS #85-02-22-RRRRRR, that is, the re-re-re-re-re-revised version of our paper. Choke on it. We have again rewritten the entire manuscript from start to finish. We even changed the damned running head. Hopefully we have suffered enough by now to satisfy even your bloodthirsty reviewers.

I shall skip the usual point-by-point description of every single change we made in response to the reviews. After all, it is fairly clear that your reviewers are less interested in details of scientific procedure than in working out their personality problems and sexual frustrations by seeking some sort of demented glee in the sadistic, imbecilic, and arbitrary exercise of tyrannical power over hapless authors like ourselves who happen to fall into their clutches. We do understand that, in view of the misanthropic psychopaths you have on your editorial board, you need to keep sending them papers, for if they weren't reviewing manuscripts they'd probably be out mugging old ladies or clubbing baby seals. Still, from this batch of reviewers, C was particularly hostile, and we request that you not ask her or him to review this revision. Indeed, we have mailed letter bombs to four or five people we suspected of being reviewer C, so if you send the manuscript back to her/him the review process may be unduly delayed.

Some of the reviewers' comments we could do nothing about. For example, if (as reviewer C suggested), several of my ancestry were indeed drawn from other species, it is too late to change that. Other suggestions were implemented, however, and so we once again hope that the paper is now more acceptable to you and your minions. You suggested that we shorten the manuscript by 5 pages, and we were able to do this very effectively by altering the margins and printing the paper in a different font with a smaller typeface. We agree with you that the paper is much better this way.

One perplexing problem was dealing with suggestions #13-28 by reviewer B. As you may recall (that is, if you even bother reading the reviews before composing your decision letter), that reviewer listed 16 works the he/she felt we should cite in this paper. These were on a variety of different topics, none of which had any relevance to our work that we could see. Indeed, one was an essay on the Spanish-American War from a high school literary magazine. The only common thread was that all 16 were by the same author, presumably someone reviewer B greatly admires and feels should be more widely cited. To handle this, we have modified the introduction and added, after the review of relevant literature, a subsection entitled "Review of Irrelevant Literature" that discusses these articles and also duly addresses some of the more asinine suggestions by other reviewers.

We hope that you will be pleased with this revision and finally recognize how urgently deserving of publication this work is. If not, then you are a silly, silly person with no shred of scholarly sense. May whatever heritage you come from be the butt of the next round of ethnic jokes. If you do accept it, however, we wish to thank you for your patience and wisdom throughout this process and to express our appreciation of you scholarly insights. To repay you, we would be happy to review some manuscripts for you; please send us the next manuscript that any of our reviewers sends to your journal. We would be particularly keen to review a piece by Reviewer C.

Assuming you accept this paper, we would also like to add a footnote acknowledging your help with this manuscript and to point out that we liked this paper much better the way we originally wrote it but you held the editorial shotgun to our heads and forced us to chop, reshuffle, restate, hedge, expand, shorten, and in general convert a meaty paper into stir-fried vegetables. We couldn't, or wouldn't, have done it without your input.

Sincerely,

本来报了两个班正好时间能接上，结果今天第一次课上课之前发现，其中一门课不是pm是am!哇哇哇~~

本来要cancel，后来说switch到其他课就不扣cancelation fee，然后总算找到另外一门课是这个时间的，从来没上过不知道怎么回事，呜呜

终于办好换课手续去上另一个班，当场就有退堂鼓的想法，因为这个课报名的时候我也看错了（当时在想啥呢！！），本来要报hip-hop beginning结果报成intermediate，而且除了我其他都是白白嫩嫩的十七八的小女生，我快成大妈了（class description最后一句写的not for grandma）

不过挺好玩的，简直是群魔乱舞啊，哈哈，管它呢，老娘高兴就好

这个被老美评价很高的电影，相当于一部国产红色电影（英雄儿女，董存瑞，等等）的海外版，不过人家老美加了许多噱头，比如digital，violence, nudity

查了一下演员表，演king的原来是phantom of the opera里面演phantom的。俺的花痴又要犯了，打住呵呵

好事是roommate周一回来突然跟我说：“我结婚了！”这家伙之前半点风声都没漏说在hawaii临时决定的。把我给激动的啊！终于看到这对欢喜冤家修成正果了！他老公是俺老公师兄，跟俺们一样也是long distance了好几年了，真不容易啊！要好好想想送个什么wedding gift，嗯

坏事是我的teaching evaluation还勉强不到Good，哇哇，比我们年级另外两个同时教课的差的不是一点半点啊！不过他俩都在美国工作了N年了。唉，觉得上学期我还是挺努力的啊！看来还是能力问题。不管了，反正就教这么一次，马上走人了，哼！某项研究发现告诫我们，保持阿Q精神有利于身心健康！英文就是unrealistic optimism

还有就是最近一周看了两部电视剧，prison break和幸福像花儿一样，要赶紧打住了开始好好学习

 

Prison break：男主角超级帅啊！！！

幸福像花儿一样：超喜欢白杨（典型的双子座啊，跟这个大活宝一起生活每天该多轻松，多乐呵啊）和杜鹃（心眼又少又大，唯一的缺点就是有时候脾气太硬，用她婆婆的一句话说就是‘她有什么不敢做的啊’）；超讨厌林彬（无以复加）和演郑媛媛的演员（又难看又没有教养，除了脏话就是凶，把一个本应该俏皮泼辣的角色给毁了）
