拿到绿卡了

今天我和海波一起拿到绿卡了。
早上九点多，大概九点半的时候，海波从他的公司电话打到我的公司电话上，用很兴奋的语气告诉我，“咱们的绿卡好像批了！” 当时我觉得太突然太快了，不敢相信，问他，“你确定吗？” 他说他收到了email update，说是"card in production"。我立刻就知道，真的批了。接着我们两个争先恐后地登陆到uscis的网站上，去查证我们的case status,清清楚楚地写着"card in production".
真的是真的。其实我们也知道绿卡应该会在今年年底之前批准，但是今天突然发生了，我们倒觉得方佛不应该这末快，因为我们从来不是中奖的幸运者。或者是我上上个星期五/星期四打电话file service request起了作用，或者我们真得很幸运。
然后就立刻给父母打了电话，告诉他们这个好消息。爸爸妈妈高兴极了，我可以想象他们合不拢嘴的样子。我叫他们立刻打电话告诉家里其他的人，姥姥，老姨....... 然后又给晶莹打了电话，她也很高兴。
电话挂完了一圈，我自己还没有回味过来这个消息。太突然了。来美国八年了，一直觉得绿卡是可望不可即的，很遥远的事情。现在一旦有了，反而觉得不真实。
很多人有个拿到绿卡以后的to do list,我没有。因为觉得拿到绿卡以后也要一样工作生活。现在要想想拿了绿卡以后的生活了，或许应该有些变化的。
今天真是幸运的一天！

The dark knight

We watched "The dark knight" on Friday. It's exceptional. I haven't seen a good action/comic movie like this in years. Before going to watch it, I though all the hype was about Heath Ledger's death. No offense to him, I thought he was a great actor, and he did wonderfully in Brokeback Mountain, but a joker in a batman movie? I doubt there could be something more than fighting and visual effect.
I was very wrong. This movie is more than a mediocre action/fantasy movie. It's about lots of more things. Since many have written about it, I will not waste my time to write a mediocre review.
I felt very sorry for Heath Ledger, he would become a great actor in our time if not the accident, or maybe he already is.
