除夕

除夕之夜(晨?过年,自然按国内的时间了),还要爬起来去上课,正所谓“他国我国不一般”,这番邦就是和咱天朝没法儿比。

新春快乐!来张马连良的《跳加官》剪影,算是送给各位看客的祝福吧!

停电!

倒霉的水管儿,导致市中心一片停电12小时左右:从早上8点多到晚上将近7点。今天在睡梦中忽然感到电脑停了。奇怪,电脑开着有一些由风扇产生的声音,而关了就没声音了,竟然能在睡觉的时候感到外界的噪音消失,那岂不是一直在习惯性地听着原有的噪声? 表情

不管怎样,没电了。今天的一切计划全部打乱,只好去学校做作业。录音无法整理,等待发出去的剧本无法扫描。现在一切正常了,该补一下没干的活儿了。

A broken water main caused a power outage in the city’s downtown core today, prompting the closure of stores and tourist attractions and leaving some residents without power for nearly 12 hours.

Toronto General Hospital and Sick Children’s Hospital operated on emergency power.

The City of Toronto opened Metro Hall for condo and apartment-dwellers who were left without heat as temperatures outside hovered well below freezing. Personnel from the Red Cross were on site.

Power began to be restored just before 7 p.m., and was fully restored by 7:45 p.m., said Karen Cormier of Toronto Hydro.

At about 7 a.m., fire crews were called to a water main leak at a power station at 532 Bay St., near Dundas St. Hydro crews shut off power before 9 a.m. after the water main caused flooding at the facility.

The power was shut off for safety reasons, according to Toronto Hydro.

Buildings between Grenville and Pearl Streets from George St. to University Ave. were without electricity for much of the day.

Ryerson University and the Toronto Eaton Centre were closed and not set to reopen until Monday.

“We don’t know the extent of the damage (of the leak),” Hydro One spokesman Alan Manchee told a news conference this afternoon.

The ramifications of the outage would have been worse had it happened on a weekday, Manchee said, as it struck much of Toronto’s financial district.

“I’m not sure you could say any time is a good time for an incident like this,” he said. “(But) it’s good that it happened today rather than a weekday.”

Manchee said power was restored incrementally to avoid overloading the system.

Power was returned at the Eaton Centre and Ryerson University, along with most of Yonge St., just after 7 p.m.

Cormier said there was no significant damage done to Toronto Hydro’s equipment and that any replacements needed will be made by mid-week.

During the outage, Staff Sergeant Duggan of Toronto Police said a section of Bay St. was completely closed and several traffic lights in the surrounding area were not functioning.

Toronto Transit Commission subways and streetcars ran at regular speed, though some stations were a little dimmer than usual because emergency lighting was being used, said TTC representative Marilyn Bolton.

忙!

就一个字,够概括这些天的日子了。这几天纯粹没时间整理剧本,好在库存颇丰,随时拿来,半个小时就可以做一次更新。就是这半个小时暂时挤不出来。 表情

包括录音,已经录了一些,暂时还没时间整理出来。好在有四台电脑可以同时使用,相信今天晚上应该有所进展吧。

移动硬盘被借出去了,上面有李宗义《斩黄袍》的电影,准备拿回来后截图,然后就该进行第三批剧照的更新了。

说到《斩黄袍》,有幸听到西城老军所传姚玉兰主演的实况录音。绝对老派演法,所有在当年整理该剧剧本时见到的,里面都有。比如苗顺“算定苍龙,命当归天”,后面出来个“黄花洞中一仙翁”,把郑英救了,到后面郑恩死后和陶三春的对唱,在当时都觉得无比新鲜。没想到还能听到这种演法的录音,真是太棒了。虽说现在(现在还有人能演这戏吗?)的演法,去掉这些“迷信”,也算通顺,这种老的演法也不见得多高明,但是这毕竟是一种历史的见证,一种文化的体现啊。

告别2004年

2004年很快就要过去了,外面还在刮大风——虽然温度并不低。又是一年的结束,又将是一年的开始。还不到说新年快乐的时候(当然已经对在国内的朋友们说过了),所以先道一声拜拜,2004,又一个精彩的年度这样飞快地过去了,似乎比刘翔还要快。

顺便说一下,刘翔确实让今年显得格外精彩。让我们面向2005年,像刘翔一样,对戏考的录入进行下一个冲刺。 表情

圣诞节

多伦多市政府门前的圣诞树
多伦多市政府门前的圣诞树

又到圣诞节了。小豆子不是基督教徒,这所谓的圣诞不诞也就没啥关系了,唯一的好处就是在这西方社会有假可放。现在国人也都纷纷过起圣诞节,大约信教的不多,大部分也就图一个聚餐、聚会、快活的机会。刚才出去转了一圈,还像往年一样,街上很冷清,家家户户都在家里面烤火鸡呢吧。到市政府门口拍了张照片回来,那里人还不少,都是滑冰的。

今天会更新一次网页,下一次更新就应该是明年了。

节日快乐! 表情

再也不能相信磁盘了

今天整理的《勘玉钏》剧本,放在磁盘里,带回家来竟然读不出来了,看来有坏道。磁盘那么空,往哪儿放这文件不行啊,非得往坏道上放。 表情

好在抢救回来了,Windows XP 带的磁盘检测给的信息不多,没有用,直接在另一台装有 Windows ME 的机器上做的抢救工作,最后结论是512字节的坏道,还好不多。看来今后需要多用 USB 盘了。估计今天下雪,把磁盘给冻坏了……
