Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer

Kiss Me 演唱 : Sixpence none the richer

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley

Nightly, beside the green, green grass

Swing, swing, swing the spinning step

You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight

Lead me out on the moonlit floorLift your open hand

Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

Silver moonlit sparkling, so kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house

Swing me upon its hanging tire

Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat

We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight

Lead me out on the moonlit floorLift your open hand

Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

Silver moonlit sparkling, so kiss me

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight

Lead me out on the moonlit floor

Lift your open hand

Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

Silver moonlit sparkling, so kiss me

So kiss me

So kiss me

This one of my favorite songs.
Because I love the female singer's sweatest voice and the lyric is written
so great that when I sing with it, I can imagine a picture that I am lying on the green grass with my lover.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER'S UNWORLDLY JOURNEY (彭蒙慧英語) 11/24

Today I read KENNEDY SPACE CENTER'S UNWORLDLY JOURNEY (彭蒙慧英語) on 11/24. It is about the comparisons between "Mission: Space" at Walt Disney World and Shuttle Launch Experience. 1. "Mission: Space" is the first high-tech space ride. 2. While "Mission: Space" is one facet of a generalized theme park, Shuttle Launch Experience is a magnet to the enthusiast of the space. 3. Mission Space uses centrifugal force to create the sensation of increased gravity forces. The Shuttle Launch Experience uses the pneumatic deflating device in the seat. After reading the article, I feel a strong respect toward the Kennedy Space Center because they creat such a meaningful device for us to experience what it is like in the space.

Today I read KENNEDY SPACE CENTER'S UNWORLDLY JOURNEY (彭蒙慧英語) on 11/23. It is about the first thill ride, Shuttle Launch Experience, opened in May 2007 by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. For those who wander what it is in the space, the thill ride is the best choise. The pneumatic seats, low frequency speaker, mechanical shakers, senation of weightless, view of the whole of Italy and so on make space "tourists" feel like in the space. The main purpose of the Shuttle Launch Experience is to connect with today's youth, raise the interest of youth and lure them into deeper study of science and math. After reading the article, I have a deep impulse to try the Shuttle Launch Experience and appreciate the breathtaking view in the space.

THANKSGIVING IN AMERICAN MEMORY (彭蒙慧英語) 11/22

Today I read THANKSGIVING IN AMERICAN MEMORY (彭蒙慧英語) on 11/22. It is about how Thanksgiving become an official holiday. At the beginning, the first American president, George Washionton proclaimed November 26th to be a day of national thanksgiving and prayer in 1789 with the Congressional requst. However, Thanksgiving didn't become an annual tradition at this time. During the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in Novomber to be Thanksging Day. After the war, Thanksgiving finally become a national holiday, which continues to this day. After reading the article, I finally understand how Thanksgiving become a national holiday because in the past I could only read the introduction of customs of Thanksgiving.

THANKSGIVING IN AMERICAN MEMORY 彭蒙慧英語) 11/21

Today I read THANKSGIVING IN AMERICAN MEMORY (彭蒙慧英語) on 11/21. It is about the introduction of source of Thanksgiving with proclamations which was issued in 1782 named "the October 1782 decree". With the recommendation of the Continental Congress, Thanksgiving was set aside Thursday, December 18 "for Solemn Thanksgiving and Praise" by George Washington, the commander-in-chief of the Continental forces. After reading the article, I can deeply feel how long the history of Thanksgiving is and how the American people respect Thanksgiving by issuing so many proclamations and setting the holiday of it. I have not have a real Thanksgiving yet, but I think it is great to have it by understanding it.
