Evelyn's posterous

要更細心更專心

-----

該來的總是會來,去年的承諾他來了,
-----
該來的總是會來之二,逃不掉的也來了
該來的總是會來一跟二,他們是好朋友,甚至可以說是雙胞胎般,感情好到每天都膩在一起,所以難免的他們一起來了!
考慮了很久,還是敞開大門,讓他們倆一起住進來了。

2 a: to exploit successfully

   b: to increase or otherwise transform into something of much greater value

potlatch

A ceremony at which gifts are bestowed on the guests in a show of wealth that the guests later attempt to surpass.

Our social media, the potlatch takes the form of outtweeting and out sharing the field, overloading the network with fragments of oneself as users seek a ranking.

I want to play around with the idea that the orgy of bonus-giving that is a way of life among Wall Street investment banks (and related institutions) is a perverse form of the potlatch, the ceremony among Northwest Coast Indians in which leaders (Big Men) give away enormous quantities of food and goods to another tribal group.
