I am Your Sunshine

Gonna have lunch with the boss I'd never had at Brik's. Amber suggested the place. the place where "someone" always wanted to go but we never really did. (Cuz I prefer French over steak XD)

I'm so so glad I finally went, despite all those people saying "Ahh... I don't understand what they're doing" and "no closure!!??" I should be ashamed that I was hesitated about watching it (apart from one of the reasons that my movie pal's alerady seen it.) How could I have doubts about oh captain my [...]

搞得好煩啊 >

到手。
其實不想今天晚上看 Felicity 的。剛看完 Laura，更早時才看完 The Red Shoes，然後 Chelsea 輸給 MLS all star (好吧，其實不是很在意這個。不過是第一場熱身賽。) 心情其實有點沉重，尤其是看完了 Gene Tierney 的傳記。
但是敷臉時沒事做，只好放 Felicity 來看... XD

I shall never forget the weekend Laura died. A silver sun burned through the sky like a huge magnifying glass. It was the hottest Sunday in my recollection. I felt as if I were the only human being left in New York. For Laura's horrible death, I was alone. I, Waldo Lydecker, was the only [...]

實在很懶得寫心得。
兩片都是超過我期待的好看。簡單，不會太老套，大部份令人愉快。非常適合在周間看。
John Tucker Must Die
Jesse Metcalfe, Desperate Housewives 裡的性感高中生小園丁, 飾演萬人迷籃球隊長 John Tucker。他同時交往的三個女朋友 - 啦啦隊長 Heather, environmentalist Beth 以及身兼數職的 Carrie 分別由 Ashanti, Sophia Bush (of One Tree Hill) 和神似很多女演員的 Arielle Kebbel (曾在Gilmore Girls 中飾 Dean 的妻子 Lindsey)。再來就是目擊 John Tucker 偷吃的校園隱形女孩 Kate (可愛的 Brittany Snow)。
看來主要角色都是電視圈出身。

跟我想像的不太一樣，很高興預告沒有洩露出太多東西。雖然是可以預料的走向，但看起來不會太無聊。

一直都覺得這首歌很可愛，查了歌詞才知道原來 "I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me" 的前一句是 "Soy un perdedor", 難怪我一直聽不出來。(而那句其實就是西班牙文的 "I'm a loser" XD )

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
butane in my veins so i'm out to cut the junkie
with the plastic eyeballs
spray paint the vegetables
dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
kill the [...]

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me
He said,
Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then [...]

說皇馬想拿 Owen 換 Lampard (最好是會把 Lampard 賣掉@_@)，
而 Owen表示對皇馬心寒，也想離開。
但最有趣的是，新聞內有一句說風聲一出去，曼聯跟利物浦也來參一腳，
說利物浦要拿Jose Antonio Reyes來換
可是... Reyes 明明是 Arsenal 的球員... XD

昨晚躺了一下睡不著，上樓想拿點東西喝
剛好 Kedi 及朋友們正在喝他們前幾天去 Sonoma 的戰利品，見我出現馬上盛情相邀。
雖然我沒有很喜歡喝香檳或是氣泡酒，但還是很高興我的 flute 終於又有機會派上用場。
(最近都是在用 shot glass 喝純米大吟釀，或是拿去年的 Mondavi 杯子喝紅酒。)
看著氣泡緩緩上昇，淺嘗了一口，發現竟比我喝過的都要來的好喝。
(兩周前我才在 Mumm Cuvee 喝了五種耶!)
但後來我發現好喝的原因竟是因為它嘗起來實在太像白酒而非香檳啦!
跟我去年喝過的一支 Riesling 有很類似的味道及口感。

Some people have the ability to tell pretty lies and make them sound sincere and not at all affected.
(Not talking about me XD
I'm sincere when I'm sincere.)

it's bashing time.
Squiddy wrote an article on CaughtOffside - It's not our fault you're greedy, is it?
I agreed with some of his points. However, he tends to believe that everything Chelsea did, every decision made is absolutely right and righteous. Well, come on. There's no perfect person; there's no perfect club. When your club [...]

A girl walked over and sat on the chair next to me. I glanced at her, noticing she had "Everyone Worth Knowing" in her hand. I couldn't help but had another glance because of the book and that she's speaking Shanghainese on the phone. But aside from the book and the language, she has nothing [...]

He had a peculair mix of competence and cluelessness that marks the suburban computer geek.

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory... The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient - at others, so bewildered and [...]

Listen to the Original Cast Recording

Spontaneity can sometimes bring you bigger surprise than you expected, while well-preparation keeps you from unexpected hindrance on the way.
If you can still recall, I listened to The Light in the Piazza soundtrack for the second time on Monday evening, which aroused my interest in the musical and therefore [...]

I didn't realized until recent years that I was given everything when I was a kid.
It's too late to cherish it but it's better late than never to be thankful.

體檢 >

我沒說過, (想過要寫卻總是忘記, 或要寫的東西一直沒有累積到讓我有動力來新開一篇)
我很喜歡 Lifehouse 的聲音。
雖然當時我只聽過 You and Me，雖然我無法具體形容，
但 Lifehouse 主唱 Jason Wade 的嗓音絕對是我的那杯茶。
Na 在她 blog 裡貼了這首 Everybody is someone 讓我確定了我的想法，
也促使我寫這篇文章。
Everybody is Someone 開頭並不十分令人驚豔，並奇妙地帶有一點英搖風，
直到聽到某一段，忽然像被什麼東西"叮"了一下，整首歌亮了起來。
心裡有什麼東西蒸發出來緩緩而升，忍不住閉上眼睛，專心被撫慰被鼓勵。

I still find the question "what do you usually do on weekends?" very hard to answer. I can tell you what I usually do after work: gorcery shopping, TV, book reading in Borders, blog writing, BBS browsing, movie going and sometimes Valley Fair shopping when gas price was not outrageously high like it is now.
