話說: 某日在台灣和老友相聚吃晚飯時，突然有位夢仙女姊姊提起永康街多了一間 Burger Joint, 味道和北美的有像，因老闆是 L.A. 回去開的。 在座的 JL 聽到後兩眼發光，直說要去看看。。。 雖然我們是在永康街吃飯，但已經九點多了。。。好像有點。。。 後來我們不負 JL 望，還是走去看看了；基本上看起來還好，還算是一間店。。。 有點人在裡面，Menu 還可以，有Burger, Milkshake, etc.，只是，打烊了。。。 不知味道到底如何說。。 回美後探子JL有回報 (忍受不了不去吃的衝動。)： "It ain't bad....has potential, but I still prefer In-n-Out better for now. But I go back and give feedback everytime (esp on their milkshakes... which started out a bit too liquid)." 嗯，嗯，了解，了解。。。 Which made me crave for In-n-out all the sudden... Therefore... Voila~ Mesdames et Messieurs, je me présente vous : "The In-N-Out"~~ 對於不了解 In-N-Out 的人: In-N-Out Burger is a privately owned and operated fast food restaurant chain in the Western United States. Founded in 1948 and headquartered in Irvine, California, In-N-Out Burger has since expanded to Arizona and Nevada, and has announced plans to build in southern Utah. The restaurant chain has developed a loyal customer base by maintaining a simple menu of high-...

心長春葉禪語誤，音方轉還繞廂樑，花落秋風相識時，回首難見霧中人。 佳人方氣無佳語，心憂它日黯然時，落日黃昏夜歸廳，道卻江山意難禁。 -木桐

? What is it? What is it? What is this black box thing? Is it a new style of coffin?? Course not!!! It’s a gift from my pal that I received during this New Year… Just that I left on the desk for ‘a while’… So, what is it? 還牽一條紅緞帶線，搞的跟棺材一樣，要不是有那紅紅的。。。 啊～ 姊姊別打我～ 我沒有毀謗的意思。。 So, now you know what is it 了吧？ 答案就是： 我那孟姊姊 "親手" 做的果醬，莓果口味喔～ 問題是：能吃嗎？？？ 這還用問，先放半年再說。。。 姊姊，我不是故意的～ 真的忘了～ 它有乖乖的坐在我的桌上，只是，只是，只是它一直沒和我打招呼說。。。 您忘了加個發聲器："喂～ 時間到了～ 該吃我了～ 我應是會壞的～" 嗯，這是孟姊姊的"騙人招數"，哦，是她的生財工具，喔，是關懷客戶的東東。。。 嗯，是姊姊的心意～ 很好看吧？ 那全是姊姊親手打造的，從做果醬，選瓶子，打印，到包裝；搞的廠商都說有必要這麼嚴嗎？用現成的不行喔？ 孟姊一句："不行"；廠商乖乖照辦。。。 碰上女土匪了，還能怎樣。。。 唉～ 嗯，有那麼漂亮的女土匪嗎？當然沒有囉～ 根本就是天使嘛～ 還是天使中的天使呢～ (有那東西？？) 雖然它說是 7/1/07 過期，但："Best Before Jul. 1st 2007"。 並沒說之後就要丟了，為了不被修理，我，還是吃了吧～ 免的明年什麼都沒有的在家乖乖哭泣。。。 姊姊，夠意思吧～ 我拿您的果醬配皇帝蟹呢～ 嗚～ 嗚～ 我的皇帝蟹～ 妳真是命好，能有姊姊親手調配的果醬送行～ 該含笑了吧？ 嗯，味道如何？ 嗯，這廢話不用問了吧？ 我有膽說不好嗎？ 又不是第一天認識她們。。。

Friday the 13th, hmm, what to do?? Well, we muggles must attend the wizarding world of Harry Potter, to be cure of the curses… That is, another way to find excuse to ditch work and join Dumbledore’s Army for 2 hour and 18 min.; plus ~20 min. for the previews, and ~20 min. drive to the department of Mysteries’ darkroom #22… Oh, let’s just say Friday is not a day for work… Death Eaters are coming, got to save the world~ One can’t be hungry when fighting the You-Know-Who; therefore, certain preparation is required beforehand. Luckily, the dept. of Arby’s offer 5 for $5.95 to join the event; how can we refuse their friendliness? Yet its mozzarella is too cheesy… not recommend it… strawberry shakes are better than McDonald’s… Order of the Phoenix, read it back in ’03 when it first went out, thought it was a bit long and Umbridge’s part stretched too repetitively; the D.A. part was fun to read; and funny interactions between Potter and Snape in occlumency lessons. The movie done ok, as it ca...
