Conservative Party's recent campaign video - Rising to the Challenge

I'm not affiliated with or inclined towards any specific political party of Canada. But this recent campaign video, which is on CPC's YouTube channel, is interesting to watch:

Sarah Palin's accused her critics of libeling her.

You can see people's reactions here: http://goo.gl/uMPa5 .

Homeboy, do what you do.

Getting an appropriate community is consequential.

Classical English literature, as well as the Chinese one, is gnomic and labor-intensive to penetrate.

Historical stuff, too. Just in a different way. It requires different background knowledge, that is.

Do you like British puns?

How much work a reader puts in is usually proportional to how much thought an author put in his work.

Monty Python is quirky and innovative.

I did double takes on their pieces of work.

Why do some young people like psychedelic clothes?

It is said that John Lennon had written trippy lyrics during one period of his life.

I for one like the music in his song "Imagine".

Some topics have been focused on in movies and songs ad nauseam.

And they tend to turn me off in the first place.

I don't quite understand how the troupe of The Black Eyed Peas have come to such a huge stardom.

Music video - Coldplay - Yellow



(Lyrics are already embedded in the video.)

In the core spirit of the law must be that an individual's right to justice cannot be forfeited.

James Patterson's fictions are not high culture.

But he, or his surrogate authors, can output some fine sentences. For one thing, "Chairs scraped as everyone scrambled.", as in his work The 6th Target. Love that snug assembly of the 5 words.

So many occupations are being long gone. Blacksmith, tailor, shipwright, and so on.

Those work looks quaint.

Heraldry looks intriguing.

Below is an example, the coat of arms of Canada:

The historical compacts between the English Canadians and the French Canadians seem interesting.

Let's "smite the rocks with the rod of knowledge", in this 21st century economy.

Human beings have combated poverty for so long.

Then we know poverty is a relative thing instead of an absolute one.

I would say the Gmail app on my Android phone is a primitive yet very trustworthy Blogger client, in a certain way.

台湾艺人徐若瑄貌似日文会话能力很好的样子

台湾艺人徐若瑄(Vivian),出生于 1975 年,于 1995 年至 2003 年间在日本发展其个人演艺事业。2010 年在东京影展亮相,貌似日文会话能力很好的样子。

东亚各地区,包括日本、韩国、台湾、中国、香港,的文化产业的互相融合已经比较深入了。


P.S. 我蛮喜欢日文的。但是不可能有时间深入学习。想念日本饮料ing。

Sunshine fills my heart with natural joy.

Time unfolds one's wisdom.

Abundant splendid congenial sunshine.

Perhaps Facebook will be finished in ten years?

I was finished with Twitter about a year ago.

The hoopla around it may have been blown out of proportion.

Taken literally, the surname 'Kidman' is an oxymoron, isn't it? :-)

组织英文倒装句,有时候有点难。

Interesting is the half joking adoption of the pseudo French pronunciation of 'Targét', as in Target discount stores, by some customers.
