大家一起来hangout koop island - [果兒]
2008-02-01

JL @ Hanoi 07I have to admit that I am not a social manic, but it surely is fun when the right people hang out together talking about just the right topics. When it comes to the word ‘right’, I don’t mean to have a boundary about it. It can switch from politics to bras, and no, I don’t mind at all.
Last night can just be one of those nights. Some friends but not too many, some food but not too much, nice environment, great music, some smiling faces, warm hugs… Let’s just call that a nearly perfect night.
年底了,很多事情都已经接近尾声。结果也纷纷出炉。有好有坏。有些之前就已经有心理准备,有些则或让人瞠目或让人宽慰。无论怎样,事已至此。考虑清楚之前的种种,关心时候才是更为关键和实用的。

Koop Promotional Picture for Album 06超级喜欢的电气爵士组合的新专辑让我这几天浑身舒坦。相比较之前的电气化,这次的专辑更加爵士。找来了一直合作愉快的Yukimi Nagano(Little Dragon的女主唱)合作了三首歌曲。包括我心水的<Come to me> 和<I saw a different you>.
按照这个样子发展下去,成为Contemporary Jezz的个中翘楚是指日可待的事情了。

不可调和的矛盾 Goldfrapp Sia - [果兒]
2008-01-28

JL @ Singapore 07工作部门之间其实本身就有这样或者那样的不可调和的矛盾。你不停的push me, asking for more. Well, there is only so much energy and time I can spare. I understand that everybody wants a piece of me. And I do feel flattered. Honey, grown up. Don’t you know that you are pushing me away instead of pulling me closer?
赵姓同志依然是个十足的drama queen. 欲言又止的样子真想让我给你个耳光。当然,我不能也不会这样做。可是你应该能够sense到我当时不耐烦的情绪了吧。接下来是连串的短信攻势。我也有我的对策。静音。直到第二天早上看到洋洋洒洒的15条未读短信才知道你有多么的desperate!
旅行的事情应该还算顺利。只等到热带气息扑面而来的时候我脸上的笑容了。
最近在听Goldfrapp的新专辑<Seventh Tree>. 一改之前的Alternative Dance风格,改变到了电气+民谣的风格。虽然这也是我的菜,但是我还是更喜欢<Ooh La La>风格的Goldfrapp.不过既然是心水的乐队,还是要挺一下的。喜欢专辑中的<Clowns>, <Eat Yourself>. 第一波主打<A&E>其实还好。
我爱Sia. 可是不得不承认的是,这次的专辑让我很是失望。

生活的轨迹 再也无法承受你的sincerity - [果兒]
2008-01-22

JL @ Ocean Park HK 07我们都是为了生活和各自的幸福在小小的轨迹上循环往复。
听着Club 8的<Sunday Morning>,走在Sunday morning的街道上。天空突然飘下细细的雪花。沿着指示牌的方向就能够走到地铁站。低着头,尽量小声的向前走。偶尔提一提从肩头滑落的书包。地上偶尔的箭头提示,生活的中心应当向后面而不是前方。可惜现在的我迎着头皮也要迈向前面的沟壑。
前面的路人拿着盗版的Prada小熊钥匙链在我眼前晃来晃去。我从包里拿出小说继续读。
You stared at me, like you’ve got the whole world of sincerity to offer me. But I am afraid I am no longer the same person I once was. I can’t carry this sincerity on my shoulders anymore. I don’t feel sorry for saying no to you anymore. That’s because you turned my trust out and traded it with something cheap.

Dear C 一封不会寄出的信 - [果兒]
2008-01-18


JL @ Lamma Island HK 08Dear C,
How are you these days? Are you still working in the same company? Thought you told me that you would look for another job some time soon, and have you done that?
Now it’s already the middle of the winter here in Beijing. When I look up from the desk now, I can see the big snow flakes flowing down from the sky and they cover the whole city. Just like a freshly painted room with steam in the same time. You should be able to have a clear picture in your head now, right? Do you still remember that we used to make snow angels in the middle of the playground not minding the coldness?
Got your message saying that O is quite warm now. That is quite strange, because I always though winter in O is much colder than here in Beijing. I know that simply because you told me so. And from that moment on, there’s always a small icon on the website which shines all the time telling me what the temperature and weather it is in O. It’s already a habit. After checking the weather in Beijing, I take a look at O.
We are heading to Philippines the coming Chinese New Year. Yes, I always love island and long beach. Remember the trip we took together the other year? That was fun. I was running on the beach and you were taking a camera running behind me taking all sorts of pictures.
I thought everything could be under our control. But I forgot one important matter; it takes two to work on it, not just me. I thought I will never do anything to hurt you, not intentionally at least, and I never expected that you would turn your back on me and stabbed me from behind.

意 已经成精的陈冲 高压般笼罩的悲伤 - [果兒]
2008-01-16
我喜欢陈冲,这是我周围的朋友都知道的事情。当然我不是要说什么<小花>时代,而是<末代皇帝>中风姿绰约的婉容。当然,还有那震撼我当年幼小心灵的<天浴>。
关于<意>,这是近期少有的让我有不吐不快的电影。一个依旧有几分风韵的夜总会歌手随着一个澳洲水手远渡重洋来到墨尔本,想要追求自己的幸福,到了那里才幡然醒悟,生活带给她的一次又一次的打击。
我以为女主角可以撑下去的。虽然接二连三的重创让我已经不忍心继续看她随着漩涡沉沦下去。当Joe随着黑白电视机中黑眼圈的女歌手的声音转身离去的时候,眼泪开始打转了。接下来的十几分钟终于还是让剧情进入了高潮。我们看到了玫瑰在来到香港前的故事,明白了为什么她急于找到能够依靠的肩膀,而且在周而复始的打击下依旧能够舔舐伤口再次寻觅幸福。
看到这里,我也和玫瑰一样,对未来充满了希望,虽然我并不赞同她回到Bill家之后考虑回到香港的决定。我预感到了弟弟的反应,也预感到了事情要向悲伤的结局行驶了。但是看到玫瑰上吊的一幕,巨大的悲伤登时将我彻底吞没了。我的眼泪在此看来不值一提。Devastated也不为过。
回过来说一下陈冲。我对好演员的评价标准很简单,能不能通过表演让我信服这个角色。之所以我这样爱陈冲,是因为她能够让角色通过她在我眼前活生生的还魂。这次的中文,带上海强调的广东话(虽然我听不出来),和夹杂着中文口音和蹩脚语法的英文;再加上她那一套套美得让人怦然心动的旗袍展现出来的摇曳身姿,活脱脱就是玫瑰。
最后再说一下饰演弟弟的小演员。Bravo!
