This is Sherry. I am safely back from Saturn. What a scary adventure! Anyway, the landscapes on Saturn are really spectacular, and they DO have a rose garden, although it is forbidden for earthmen and dogs.

Are you trying to imply that somebody is a earthman or a dog? I hope you are not talking about me...

Of course not!!! that's the last thing I would do!

...... I take it technology teachers are not familiar with history, are they?

Isn't dying and living just two sides of the same coin?
You will agree even more once you've seen this movie.
It is a comedy about dying that is expectingly un-depressing; the way it should be.

Rock 寫:Oh, I would like to see that movie someday. It seems good to me because those two old guys are kind of like my idles. And maybe that movie will give me some ideas to live longer...
Another movie about life and death and beauty is "the American beauty". I think that one is not for our dear Sherry, though. She is too young for that. However, maybe old Luis can appreciate it?

Hi Rock, looks like you always like movies starred by old men.

...and sexy women...

It's amazing to find that each time I suspect something Wayne C. wrote looks too straightforward and is unlikely to be found in dictionaries, they can always be found in the dictionaries. TWO SIDES of THE SAME COIN is the latest example. Below are some sentences including this idiom I found on the Internet or in the dictionaries.

1. Great opportunity and great danger are two sides of the same coin.
2. Violent behavior and deep insecurity are often two sides of the same coin.
3. Economic opening and competition are two sides of the same coin: the greater the degree of opening, the greater the degree of competition.
4. Love and pain seem to be two sides of the same coin - the deeper you love, the more you suffer.

Sherry Liao 寫:Then what's the theme in August, finally?

The death? The beauty? Or both?

Bueathy?.....

I've see that one. The lines were pretty well-written.
The end of the movie was quite touching, too, for I couldn't hold back but shed ... well maybe two drops of tears because the moment passed real quick, since I was busy trying to chew on the beautiful lines.

Rock 寫:...and sexy women...

old sexy women?...

I am glad I did not say "two sides of the same credit card", that wouldn't be any where near amazing.

Hey, I guess I know the old lady in this youtube song. I forget her name, though. Who is she?

Rock 寫:Hey, I guess I know the old lady in this youtube song. I forget her name, though. Who is she?

Joni Mitchell ?..... That's what it's written in the title of this clip.
Her voice sounds like the one who sang "Dona Dona",... but I may be wrong @@ ..

Should be "Donna Donna". One the most popular version of this sing is sung by Joan Baez.
