喜歡JHU總圖,就跟之前在NTU往往愛跑去公館總圖一樣。
在JHU地下碉堡似的總圖裏面,我常窩在兩個角落。
一個是地下三樓的深處(離自然光最遠的那端),一個是地下四樓的表層(自然光附近)
地下四層是文藝區,看paper看煩了
就可以去翻翻畫冊,或是上個洗手間就會碰到Keith Harring的畫集
轉個彎就碰到美與創意,雖是複製的,但還是爽的
地下三層是理工區,但我會窩在編碼號TX開頭書櫃附近
TX櫃有很多美食書,有廿世紀初美國美食寫作大家費雪的書
沒有圖片,但文字看了也是心曠神怡
唯一缺點是距離廁所太遠
亂翻書的過程中,不經意會撿到寶物
記錄一則有人遺落的小寶物,看來是本校某個文藝課的作業,夾在費雪翻譯的The Physiology of Taste (by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin)。It says:
As if you were planning a book of American cuisine in the late 20th and earth [early] 21st centuries, interview one of Baltimore's leading (and landscape-changing) chef/restaurant: Donna Crevelli, John Shields, or Cindy Wolf (if you can get her). Do some research and find out something about their history here in Baltimore (where their restaurants were and will be; what cuisines they are presented in their menu; how they've shaping eating and dining in Baltimore; what their training and education is; how they see the gastronomic status quo here.) plan to write and revise an essay of about 5 double spaced passages.
這是張巴爾地摩藏寶圖,故名之為寶物。
順手記錄唐魯孫用來考廚子手藝的三道菜: 雞蛋炒飯、青椒牛肉、雞湯。

小時候,好愛看張小虹*瞎掰喔,一篇一篇假裝看得懂的跟真的看不懂的,都嗑,猛嗑。
現在卻嗑不下去...。
是她進步了而我退步了呢,還是她退步而我進步了呢。
是她變嘮叨而我不耐了呢,還是我嘮叨而她不耐了呢。
後來想想,其實是我幾年前就已經拋棄張小虹,改投胡晴舫的懷抱了...
人,來來去去,來來去去。
