Happy Designers League的網址改囉!


原本 Happy Designers' League是放在樂多與蕃薯藤合作的 blog上,最近蕃薯藤被 Webs-Tv併購,而 Webs-Tv又有自己的 "天空部落",所以樂多就被踢了出來,還被無預警的婊了好幾下

目前樂多獨立出來,HDL的網址也跟著改囉!大家注意一下。
新網址 blog.roodo.com/happydesign

久病成良醫

今天又把十三年的二行程老達可達拿去整理,果然跟我判斷的一樣,機油幫浦老了,油封會漏,機油就慢慢地漏進引擎室裡面。所以車子放一晚,隔天早上發動的時候會因為引擎室裡面積了機油就開始噗噗噗地冒白煙。要是遇到我回南部,車子兩三天沒騎,回來台北的時候就是當一路的烏賊車。附帶問題是機油耗很快,排氣管很快就會因為積碳而失去應有的作用。

這兩三個月修車大概花了五千塊,搞的我都好像變的很專業了,上次皮帶跟普利盤磨損,造成雨天傳動有問題以及這次機油幫浦的問題,都是我先查資料對照我騎的狀況抓出來然後請老闆檢查的。

其實我對摩托車一直都不是很有興趣去瞭解,從大學到現在騎了兩台車都是老爸跟叔叔汰換下來的十年古董,好處是都不用花到錢,壞處就是老毛病一堆。以前修車的時候,自己其實看不太懂老闆修了什麼,我雖然騎的時候感覺的到問題,可是修的時候卻指不出來,只能說個大概。就像看醫生一樣,如果只說"啊就發燒咳嗽留鼻涕",那大概醫生百分之九十都是開感冒藥,也許細部的症狀或是真正的病因就會被忽略掉。

自從退伍後,接手這台達可達,一開始是抱著有車騎就好,我甚至到今年夏天的某日跟高中同學聚餐時才赫然發現原來這台是 50cc,哈!我以前一直以為它是 90cc的。去年的大問題是電瓶充不了電,前後換了兩顆電池,最後才發現是暗鎖造成電路短路,然後電流留不到電瓶;今年則是修了傳動換排氣管。修車還是自己懂一點比較好跟修車師傅討論,畢竟自己天天騎,比較瞭解狀況,有些狀況也是騎上路十幾分鐘後才會慢慢出來,修車師傅在車子靜止下不一定看的到;要是我早知道機油幫浦有問題,那這一年半應該也不用換了兩次排氣管。

幸好的是樓下就有機車行,老闆技術不錯,收費又還 OK。雖然騎了一年半大概花了一萬初修車,不過還是比買車來的划算了一些,算是有達到目標就是了。

我這個叫安納金的孩子

Weird Al Yankovic!!!
最近大家都在傳他登上 billboard第九名的歌曲 "White and Nerdy",台譯"又白又宅" (笑!)。

在 YouTube認真了一個下午,我最喜歡的是這個改編自 Don Mclean 70'年代的民謠老歌 "American Pie"的這首歌曲—
"The Saga Begins" — 五分鐘複習完 Star Wars 首部曲。


歌詞:(隨便翻幾段)

A long, long time ago
 很久很久以前
In a galaxy far away
 在某個遙遠的銀河系裡
Naboo was under an attack
 那卜遭到了攻擊
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
 我以為我跟金魁剛
Could talk the federation in
 可以跟貿易同盟談談
To maybe cutting them a little slack
 也許可以讓他們休息一下
But their response, it didn't thrill us
 但…他們的反應…那嚇不了我們的
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
 他們關上門想要殺死我們
We escaped from that gas
 我們從瓦斯毒氣中逃了出來
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
 然後遇到了恰恰跟他老大
We took a bongo from the scene
 我們在那裡得到了一艘船 (we took a bongo是雙關語,意同erection...)
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
 開過呆頭鯨那邊去找皇后
We all wound up on Tatooine
 最後又到了塔圖因
That's where... we found... this boy
 就在這…我們找到了…這個孩子

Oh,
 喔喔喔~
My my this here Anakin guy
 我這個叫安納金的孩子。
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
 也許有天他會是達斯維達,但現在只是個小兔崽子。
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
 他走出家門給媽咪一個再見吻,然後說著:
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
 "很快我一定會變成絕地武士" "很快我一定會變成絕地武士"

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say

Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday

Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew poop who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance, to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
All training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"

He was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy

And I was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We were singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


不少愛好者幫他配上了影片,像是這個



當然 Weird Al老兄十幾年來可是累積了不少名曲:

改編 Michael Jackson熱門MV" Eat It "、"Fat";
放在網路上公開下載的 MP3歌曲,歌名卻叫 "Don't Download this song";
可愛的黏土動畫,"Jurassic Park"、"Weasel Stomping Day";
改編 Coolio的 Rap歌曲 "Gansters' Paradise"的 "Amish Paradise"

還有另外一個我的最愛,由同好者自己拍的 MV
James Blunt的 "You're beautiful" —

"You're pitiful"

喝!這是精神喊話

不知道畫什麼的女孩[草稿]
堆了一堆草稿沒能完成,這張是其中一張。

Gosh!!!我真的希望可以不要老是這樣!Blog的 Banner懸在那邊半年多了、鋼彈模型兩個都還沒做完、其他畫到一半的圖大概有四五張,筆記本裡面還有一兩個沒畫的點子。

我是個半途而廢的人,體認了之後就是改變。還有更重要的事情要準備,希望可以如期完成。


Banner的草圖…
