獠牙居

做无聊之事,遣有涯之生,故名

阅读某篇关于重庆森林和California Dreamin'的电影blog时,在下面的readers' comments里突然读到这句:

"This movie taught us that The Cranberries sound a lot better in Cantonese."

Truer woods have never been spoken.

历史性的一刻,在iPhone上写的第一篇博。
入手iPhone 3GS不过两周,已和iPhone紧密相连
早上先用Byline,download订阅的新闻和博客更新路上看
白天查看电邮无数次
偶尔用支付宝确认交易付款
用Closet程序记录编目衣服鞋子包包
(Still have way less shoes than Carrie Bradshaw)
音乐听得最多的是Glee的原声
最爱玩的游戏是Trivia Pursuit,my grasp of useless knowledge终于有用武之地!

Consuming large quantities of junk food;

Watching Kristin Chenoweth belting out "Alone" on Glee;

My kind of National Day break.

好多年前(actually, it just feels like 好多年前),经历过一段黑暗时期,a dark period of my life.

那段时间,不出门,不做事,排遣只有Gilmore Girls和Buffy。

Stars Hollow and Sunnydale got me through the difficult time. 

Gilmore Girls剧终已有两年了,这两年来,每一个pop culture moment, important or trivia, 都会不由自主地想起Lorelai and Rory,Lorelai会有什么witty, sacarstic comment,Rory会回复什么更witty, 更sacarstic的comment,然后Lorelai再会怎么贫。(To think, how many McCain and Sarah Palin jokes there would have been!)

不久前John Hughes的去世,第一时间想起的,还是Lorelai,能把John Hughes的电影倒背如流的Lorelai,她会策划一个80s high school movies回顾展么,从16 Candles到Ferris Buller,从Pretty in Pink到Some Kind of Wonderful。

剧中台词历久弥新,那些pop culture references (about books, films, politics, rock music, obscure TV characters etc. ),第一次没懂的,第二次,第三次,hey, I got it!

--I'm gloomy
--Like Joy Division gloomy? Nice Cave bloomy? Robert Smith gloomy?
--Johnny Cash gloomy.
--So kind of like a San Quentin-y, "It's a long road home, and my horse just got shot, but I still got my girl by my side" gloomy?
---You read my mind.

--You swear on the life of the lead singer of Blur!
--I swear on the soul of Nico, I did not see him with another girl.

--Because truth will come out eventually.  Like the Iran-Contra affair.
--So you are Oliver Noth now.
--No, I'm Fawn Hall.  What?  She's way more pretty.


Oh, I could go on and on and on...

拥有Kindle 2三个月有余,创纪录地到现在还未玩腻,并且兴趣只有增无减。

除了便携,有随身带着几十本书的作用之外,另一大好处是快速,想看即得。

也导致同时看十来本书,reading list越来越长,literally.

Kindle books I'm reading:

The Believers:“干了一辈子革命”的模范左翼家庭悲喜剧。
Inventing Herself :历代女性主义先锋的小传,大致勾勒feminism的演变史。
The Girl Who Played with Fire:瑞典悬念小说(还不知道原来瑞典是这么大的一个罪恶渊数)。
The Song Is You:iPod为背景、摇滚乐为救赎的小说。

从头再读罗素的西方哲学史,大学里看的中文版,已经是如此遥远的事了。

下了易卜生、萧伯纳、P.G. Wodehouse(基本免费的)选集/全集看。

I always thought the saddest lyrics 林夕 ever wrote was "岁月长/衣裳薄".  

This morning, during the firm's monthly staff meeting where I usually daydream through while boss and colleagues speechify on and on, it suddenly hit me that the saddest lyrics 林夕 ever wrote is ----pardon the rough translation----"While one's young/One never realizes/It is but a dream from which one's bound to wake up".

I remember the night on the last day of high school.  There was a feast after the graduation ceremony.  We got drunk, roamed the campus, shouted out every song that's ever written.  

Years later, here I am.
Another cog in the corporate machine.
Another brick in the wall.

人在少年
梦中不觉
醒后要归去

不知为何,通常都是看选秀节目选手唱歌,让我想起王菲。

前几天的超级偶像3,有人唱红豆——唱她的歌,当然会想到她,最自然不过。
但也不是因为别人唱得烂,只是,不是。

看过很多关于她录音一遍即过的故事。
植松伸夫介绍过录Eyes on Me时,她要录音间灯全灭,黑暗中她一遍唱完。
林夕讲过约定的词交稿半小时后,林夕想要改一下词,去找她,已经录完收工走人了。
郭子说矜持一次录毕,郭子嫌太潦草,要再录,她却说用不着,可以收工了。

阿里巴巴并购了雅虎中国后,
马云给全体员工发了一封“懒惰是发明之母”的励志邮件。
果然,懒散是成功的动力,出工不出力,才让人以为一切都是effortless。

有时深恨iPod的shuffle功能,是通灵的不成。
Of all the times, of all the songs,
今早蹿进耳朵的:
外面有辽阔天空,温暖和风,和许多等着你去实现的梦

从那后,不再思念,不再回首,
早已蒙尘的回忆
