November 20 A Shitty Day 游泳，释放体内积聚了二十多年的“利比多”，如果真的有“利比多”这种物质的话。游着超过旁边泳道上的成年男子，总是一件让人得意的事情。总有大叔戴着框架眼镜在水里游泳，甚至还把头放到水里，搞笑得让我吃了不少水。边上的泳道被少儿游泳班占据了。仍未进入teenager行列的小女孩们，已经发育得比我还成熟了。从没见过那几个游泳教练下水，他们的体形只能用imposing来形容，真让人吓一跳－－这就是游泳的后果吗？游完后，在镜子里看到自己红彤彤的大脸，我想任何护肤品的效果都比不上运动！
隔壁的“Emma”又在帮她的男同学们打听物色，几乎都要忘我了。我对她说：你看过Austen吗？你就像她笔下的Emma! （好在Emma的结局不错！）Austen在自己的小说中为她的女主人公们寻找到了她本人未曾享有过的幸福。时代变了，Austen的故事却仍在不断上演。现代人仍然可以被分成两类："Marry for love"和"marry for fortune"。一个男同学兼好友十分忧虑地给我讲他目前的relationship。我问他：如果她没有房子，你还会跟她继续吗？他说：当然不会！我说：那就算了吧！我把高老大对我的谆谆教诲给他复述了一遍。
What a shitty day，弄得我好累！游泳前吃下了剩下的最后一个爱心牌苹果，苹果好像直接穿过胃到了肠子里，胃里还是空空的。余世维说，不要吃得那么饱，看豹子多健康多有活力，人家是有了上顿没下顿的！ 喜欢BJ用那种自豪的语气指着Darcy说：He's my boyfriend! 喜欢Tina Fey!喜欢“30 Rock”里的Liz。也许是因为这个人物的性格有点像我，或者说是我的性格比较像她。如果每天都是今天这样的shitty day，我想我也能编出“30 rock”来了。坐在布满辐射的屋子里等着机子重启，嘴里不禁哼起了类似Soko风格的调子。What a shitty day! 接下去自己编：No water, no power, no heater. 现在怎么都学不像了。 害怕失败而想退缩的念头曾经一闪而过。也许是DH 看得太入迷了，我的生活也开始回闪，角角落落的事情都被潜意识挖了出来，以为是空白的地方其实也留有记忆。上个月休假回家时忘了去灵隐寺再烧几株香，好提醒佛祖别忘了我的事，但似乎佛祖还是有些记起我了。 回来再看镜子里的那个人，怎么看都不顺眼。想到Penelope是怎么破解咒语的，信心倍增。先哼几句Christina的Beautiful，励志一下！
PS. 一个月前第一遍听“Tear Drops on My Guitar”时，毫无感觉。现在再听，很喜欢！ November 17 Knowing me I was looking for something that might need updating in my old notes when I found a few words which took me quite by surprise.
...It's not my movie...My movies guide me to think, think deeply about life, world, value, society. My movies are my nourishment, (OMG! The following was written in Russian, which means) giving me new breaths, bringing life to my heart. They are non-commercial.
With this, I was trying to persuade myself into something hard, although the Russians say "you can't give orders to a heart". Now I know it was obviously a misunderstanding. I also wrote:
I never write movie reviews unless my teachers set me one as a compulsary task, homework.
These words were taken down on Jan. 5th, 2006, before I graduated with a Master's degree and came to work in BJ. Seems I've grown into some new habits since then. Today I even write reviews for some website sometimes. And the quotations above was from the last piece in my notebook, while on the first page, I wrote:
The cloud will be cleared and the sun will shine on us again, which would be the eternal sunshine of my spotless mind.
And also this in the notes:
Vouloir, c'est pouvoir!
I was tough, wasn't I? Considering my situation then. November 16 日日夜夜 经典之所以为经典，在于数百年、数千年之后仍能引起人们的共鸣。
...и потом
Всё думать, думать об одном И день и ночь до новой встречи... 这句“И день и ночь до новой встречи”，简直是写到骨髓里了！用大白话讲，有点像李玟的《DiDaDi》。 塔季扬娜写给奥涅金的情书，当年Гарина在课堂上随口就背了下来。只知道很经典，不知其所云。直到前天，我才把它找出来。
刚才在车上还在想，那个“上帝派你来找我”的念头出自之前我看过的哪部电影。原来不是电影，正是塔季扬娜的信。信中偷偷讲述：从陌生到熟悉的距离始终是个迷。вы到ты的转变，自然而奇妙。
两个版本的翻译，之前误以为是两封信呢！
“手书寸笺，拳拳此心可见，更有何言能够自饰？ ”
“我在给您写信--难道还不够？我还能再说一些什么话？”
“欧根·奥涅金”原来就是“叶甫根尼·奥涅金”。“欧根”估计是从其他语的译本译过来的。而1947年版的《欧根·奥涅金》将作者名译成“普世庚”，真是太忠于原发音了！
高老大说，胃口不好是因为没睡好。有道理！
Carrie Bradshaw说出Yes的时候，那个摩擦音十分sexy! November 14 Long Term Memory 申老大说：“这个人我好像在哪里见过的！”
我说：“是照片上吧！” 她说：“不是，肯定不是照片！”之前，我一直以为是照片上见的。 我突然大叫起来：“我知道了！你们一起参加过研讨会！你还跟我说碰到一个人认识我！” 她说：“不是他！” 我说：“当然不是他，是和他一起的那个。” 她说：“哦……对！” 把几件本不相关的事情串起来，串成一个完整的故事，真是一件有趣的事！就好像拼图（尽管我没有那个耐心），即使没有拼成一幅完整的图画，也至少拼出了一角。
记忆之门在哪里？长时记忆（LTM）之门又在哪里？回忆起什么之后，我常常再回忆那个回忆起的过程，想知道我是怎么想起来的。在黑箱般的数据库中，使用世间最棒的原理尚不明的搜索引擎，找啊，找啊，也许怎么也找不到，也许一下子就蹦出来了。这次是“研讨会”，上次是“毕巧林”，昨天是“1400亿美元”。 发现"it's just at the tip of the tongue"的时候，千万别气馁，继续搜索！
我说：Keep looking!
安达说：Keep hunting!
Oh!她比我狠！ November 12 梅丽公主 《当代英雄》的主角叫什么名字？好像就在嘴边，但张了半天嘴，冒出来的只有莱蒙托夫，只是作者罢了。连续好几天，天没亮就醒了，再也睡不着了。梅丽公主，可怜的小女孩！ November 10 I Sniper 真人CS还真挺有趣，起码无法用wasd走稳的我，可以用自己的两条腿奔跑。体力不支也算是兵家常事，毕竟在水里游和在陆上跑对两种不同的耗能感受。 PS. 要先看Saturday Night Live，再看30 Rock，才会有很多很多的感觉！Emmy没有弄错！ November 04 烂 一本好书，让你爱不释手；一本烂书，尤其是出自著名书系的一本烂书，就像一锅美汤中的一粒老鼠屎，让你恨不释手，因为你想揍它！一边看，一边叹息，一边在空白处写着评论批评。愤笔疾书之间，免不了出现“Bullshit”这样的刚烈字眼。封面折页处介绍，作者是个博士，之所有没有提及其他的头衔，可能连个副教授都不是吧（当然职称不等于真正水平），作者肯定觉得把“讲师”的字眼印在书上，有失身份。得过这样那样的奖，发表过这样那样的文章，都不能说明什么问题。至少这本书，短短的五章，仅看目录，就有问题；看到正文，就是问题百出了，逻辑混乱，表达不清，前后矛盾，断章取义，语言贫乏，而在观点上又过于天真幼稚。似乎是老师布置了一篇命题作文，学生把材料往那里一堆，拼命地往老师的题目靠，也不管是不是搭介，也不管“先有蛋先有鸡”。再看参考书目，2页就列完了，其中中英文还有重复的。想必作者当年读博时的答辩委员们一定是非常之仁慈啊！而且当年肯定没有引进盲评的机制，不然，作者恐怕一边教着书，一边心里也不踏实吧。 November 03 My Autumn Movies Here's my Autumn movie list, and the stars show the peronal tast only.
Airplane(1980):★★★
Baby Mama: ★★ (Anyway, Tina Fay is awesome.) Evita:★★★ (Legendary woman. Just love Webber's music!) Film Noir:★★★★ （A good lesson for Chinese cartoon makers.） Get Smart:★★★ (I prefer its old stories.)
《海角七号》：★★★★ (Don't let go of anything that you can try to grasp as long as there're no such stipud things like wars in your way.) Happy Go Lucky: ★★★ (Happiness is a value. How come being happy seems insane these days?) Les Femme de L'ombre(《幕后女英雄》)：★★★★★
Les Triplettes de Belleville(疯狂约会美丽都):★★★★ Married Life:★★★★
Recount:★★★★ (In fact, W. might not have been the president.)
The Spiderwick Chronicles:★★★
Wall-E:★★★★★ (Animation and romance of the year! Eva is like "my sassy girl" and a super girlfriend. "La Vie en Rose" brings you back to the good old days ) While You were Sleeping:★★★
Miniseries:
Generation Kill: ★★★★
The Starter Wife: ★★★ Strongly recommended: Les Femme de L'ombre, Wall-E, 《海角七号》. November 02 Woman Agents With the help of Google's dictionary, I got to know the meaning of the French word "ombre". "Les Femme de L'ombre" is one of my favorate movies of 2008. I like the story, the way the story is told, the pretty girls knows as "agents", the sexy German officer and the cool military uniforms of that age. It was shocking to know that the unprofessional female "agents" - if they could be called agents for they were so unprepared before they jumped into Paris that they had only one day of training - made such a big contribution to the success of D-Day. However, it was too risking for the British secret service to send them to the German-controlled France to save a geologist in Germans' hand and kill the German Colonel. Unprofessional agents make more mistakes, as proved in this movie and Li'An's "Lust, Caution", while the same "affair" may not be a problem for James Bond. Colonel Heindrick was able, smart, competent, outstanding, and what is more, very cute. But he was just a colonel, who could do nothing but go to Berlin in person with his important strategic intelligence -- fine intelligence, with both raw materials and perfect analysis. He might be another "bad guy" for movies, but for me, anyway, he was doing his job and was trying his best. It was not a coincident that the Germans could fight for 5 years. I might not have liked "Les Femme de L'ombre" so much without him. Unluckily, he was in the wrong camp, which caused his tragedy. D-Day was a great day with great loss and great success. 小碎花裙和头饰很有40年代的味道！
