    Women, again

        最近发现《女人不坏》的英文片名竟然是“All about Women”,和我之前那篇blog的题目撞车,hoho!岁末年初,大家都非常关心女性群体,尤其是大龄女青年!

        ZLY说,他看the Women看了一半睡着了。太不给面子了!他是我所认识的唯一一个对Sex and the City如此钟情的男生,在没有受任何人威逼利诱的情况下,他自觉地看完了Sex and the City的电视全集+电影版+原版书。正是因为他的存在,青山兄几乎想要否定Sex and the City在男人中有自主市场时,我毫不犹豫地轻而易举地就驳倒了他的假设。自觉去看Sex and the City的男生还有姚姚和WK,姚姚是为了了解美国社会文化,WK仅是打发时间罢了。

        WLF说,她看了the Women,很喜欢,准备看第二遍,让我肃然起敬。我想她大概也会喜欢《焦糖》。

        今天在新浪读书上看钱海燕的图画书,好玩得很!里面有一句和When Harry met Sally里的一句经典话语很像,电影的经典之句是:When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible!

    寒山

        “杳杳寒山道,落落冷涧滨。啾啾常有鸟,寂寂更无人。淅淅风吹面,纷纷雪积身。朝朝不见日,岁岁不知春。”

        最近很是想念《冷山》,想念从头到尾的那种调调,数着每一个的字,就像Inman参战后Ada做的那样。然后,在青山兄的博客里看到了这首诗,原来“冷山”应该是“寒山”。“冷山”不知为何物,而“寒山”所包含的意境要多得多。

        我把诗发给了WLF,她发来短信说:“写得真好,好得我都不知道说什么好了。一个人得有多不寂寞,才能写出这样寂的寞!”

        Ada的信写得太美了,美得想把每一句都背下来,背得滚瓜烂熟,直到能够自然地脱口而出,就像是自己灵感来时说出的话一样。那种煎熬,那种带着期盼的煎熬,比塔季扬娜的“日日夜夜直到下次见面”要揪心一万倍,何况奥涅金不是一个值得为其“甘愿做,欢喜受”的人。

        只是我早就知道,Inman最后还是死了。

        “如果你当初没有离开查尔斯顿呢?”

        “那谁会等待你归来呢?”

    All about Women

         在后欲望都市时代,忙里偷闲,一连看了几部电影--《桃花运》、《爱情呼叫转移2之爱情左右》和"The Women"。又见女性题材!

      《桃花运》里几个女人的故事,有喜有忧,有的从喜变成了忧,有的从忧变成了喜。最喜欢梅婷那个角色,敢于在关键时刻说“不”,而且一口江北口音,很搞笑很可爱。与同事朋友交流中发现,江北口音带来的笑料,只有南方人才能感受到,而北方人对此漠然。

      《爱情呼叫转移2之爱情左右》中的林喜欣十分可人,但那十二个男人中却鲜有养眼的帅哥。与上集雷同的故事,只是交换了性别。莫名其妙的结果,想说明什么?好女要吃回头草?潜力还得从ex里找?上集里的徐铮可没有回头草可吃,想回头时前妻已成他人妻。

      "The Women"可谓本年度个人最喜欢的女性题材影片。(说实话,不喜欢电影版Sex and the City的情节,但出于那种情结,只好忍了。)整部影片,从头到尾,都是女人,提到的男性角色只是提到罢了,一个也没有露面。如果Edie最后生的是个男孩,那他可能是全剧中唯一的男演员了!

      "The Women"改编自1939年的同名影片,但在情节上上完全融入了现代因素和现代女性意识。丈夫的外遇促使妻子Mary唤醒内心中的真我;而妻子在重新找回自己后,她的女权主义意识并没有畸形地膨胀到不可收拾,她选择在家庭和事业中寻找平衡,也无需追求事业中那种虚荣业虚幻的出类拔萃。广告里宣传的“两不误”只是一个美丽的神话,人的精力不是源源不断的,时间每天也只有24小时。就像Tracy当时说:孩子、工作、睡眠,这三样东西你只能选择两样。

      剧中人物Leah Miller说:多想想自己,自己到底想要什么。这正是众多女性影视作品对现代女性提出的忠告,从去年的The Starter Wife,到今年的The Women,结论都是一样的。相比1939年版的The Women,这就是时代的进步,女性的进步和觉醒。还有妥协。

      PS.梅格·瑞恩不知是整了容还是打了Botox,面部的反光像是打了蜡一样,表情也极不自然。时间是最强大的武器。郭靖被欧阳锋抓去时说:我比你年轻,总有一天你会老,总有一天我能打过你!

    I say

      幸福不会从天降,幸福需要靠双手双脚一张嘴一个大脑去创造。

      然而,某些人,某个人是从天上砸下来的,之所谓“可遇而不可求”。当然,也需要为之而做足功课。

      感激,无论对存在的人、存在的生命,还是对不知是否存在的神,或可称之为“某种宇宙精神”。

      山重水复时千万别绝望,甚至可以小小希望一下,因为柳暗花明可能就在下一个转弯处。或者可以偷偷假装绝望一下,那么一点光亮都会令你开颜。

         Working is wonderful, so is working out.

    刚烈·硕儒

      平安夜要值班,只好中午和好朋友一起过去平安午--在必胜客堆沙拉。

      ZLY一脸幸福的表情暴料说,他最近交了一个女朋友。“快讲讲,什么样的?”我和WLF开始逼问。他的回答几乎可以成为一个经典:“刚烈而不失温柔!”我和WLF的嘴半天都没有合拢。WLF认为,这几乎是一个完美的评价。她是一个十分刚烈的女孩子,至于温柔,我们没有资格评价。“我刚烈吗?”我问。ZLY说:“极度刚烈!”但是……好吧,我是刚烈有余而温柔不足!

      WLF提到一个经典词--硕儒。我费了一番周折才向她确认了这两个字。至于什么意思嘛,她说,就是那个意思!好吧,领会精神了!“他硕儒吗?”“嗯!有点硕儒!”后来不知怎么就说到孩子。ZLY对WLF说:“做你的孩子一定很不容易!因为他必须要硕儒!”

      吃罢,我突然问ZLY:“是不是每片黄瓜都经过了你的手?”他点点头。

    牛顿

      一边哼着Anyone else but you的调子,一边写完了又一篇紧急“作业”。全然记不起电脑前中饭的味道,吃饭常常只是“任务”罢了。中午去洗手间时顺便照了今天第一下镜子,才发现原来毛衣一直反穿着,怪不得有点难受,只是没顾得上难受。似乎投入得有点像牛顿了,好在现在不用钢笔灌墨水写字了,也不用自己煮鸡蛋,可以叫送上门的外卖,况且我也没有怀表可以煮。

      女人要是狠起来可以很狠,可以和男人一样狠,可以比男人更狠,可以比男人狠一百倍。季莫申科就是这样。年近五十依然姣美动人得像个公主(不知道有没有注射Botox),令无数女人羡慕得抓狂。一直在想,该用个什么样的比喻来形容季MM和中毒后被破相的尤GG呢?看到两人的一张照片后,一个经典组合跳入脑中:美女与野兽!不过这样有点不道德,毕竟尤GG曾经是个受害者。尤GG 中毒前还是蛮帅的,就是眼袋大了点,像我一样!

    But You

        想起Juno里的一首歌:Anyone else but You。尝试品味其中的味道,很贴切的味道。一开始只喜欢听得懂的那几句。等弄清每一句的意思后,每一句都很喜欢,每一句都那么可爱!

          You're a part time lover and a full time friend
      The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
      I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      Here is the church and here is the steeple
      We sure are cute for two ugly people
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
      So why can't, you forgive me?
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      I will find my nitch in your car
      With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      Du du du du du du dudu
      Du du du du du du dudu
      Du du du du du du dudu du
      Up up down down left right left right B A start
      Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      You are always trying to keep it real
      I'm in love with how you feel
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      We both have shiny happy fits of rage
      You want more fans, I want more stage
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      Don Quixote was a steel driving man
      My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      Squinched up your face and did a dance
      You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
      I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
      But you
      Du du du du du du dudu
      Du du du du du du dudu
      Du du du du du du dudu du
      But you

    Fonder

         It suddenly ocurred to me that there is such a saying – Distance makes the heart grow fonder.  Distance.  That is thousands of miles away.  That is somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight.  That is something that calms you down, helps you do serious thinkings and then brings all your passion back.

         You need something to look at when you are waiting, just like "Cold Mountain".  And when you are waiting, you’ve brought yourself some time to do the things you never got round to – which I call “making up”.  And you know you are making a story of your own, a legend of your own, one as awesome as "Legends of the Fall".

         Well, I just have to take one day a time!

    Paradox

        "Just as someone said that he would not join a club which would take him as a member," she said, "I don't think I would fall in love with someone who would like a girl like me."
         What a terrible paradox!  Anyway there are people falling in love every day, every minute, every second, which gives us the strength and the hope to live on, though there are huge chances that things may change.
         I still remember the couple I met the other day in a restaurant sitting at the next table.  They didn't say a word over lunch.  The woman kept feeding the baby, while the man never looked up.  I didn't hear a word uttering from their mouths.  "How terrible!"  He said.
         I'll keep talking, or keep being talked to, or both.  I used to be talkative.  But for a long time I have felt as if there were nothing for me to talk about.  I didn't know what to say, what to say any words of.  Luckily, it comes back.  I got it back.  Or say someone's got it back for me.
         I am trying to call it "the luckiest thing in this unlucky 2008".  "I did 'homework' for it years ago!"  I told Pumpkinhead, "So, do your homework!"
         Nothing happens for a certain reason before you name a reason for it.  Of course, you can change it whenever you want.  You can call it a curse, and you can break it.  With all that you are qualified with.
         I still believe the girl mentioned above will definitely find the one for her, as long as she keeps looking, or say, hunting and never gives up, just like the girls from 'Sex and the City' and just like so many girls around us.  If you cannot find a door, a window is also OK.

    错判

      最近,我和高老大连续两次错误预测了另两位老大的反应。第一次,我们预测,XJ肯定会很坚决地说“不”,而YQ则会急死。没想到,XJ的态度很犹豫,而YQ却十分坚决,尽管后来随着事态发展,她的态度转了180度的大弯。第二次,我们预测,XJ还是会很坚决地说“不行”,YQ也会很着急。然而,XJ的态度中,“行”的含量比“不行”的含量要大得多。暂时还不知道YQ的反应。
        只能说,大家的想法都在变,变得更全面,更宽容,更实际,更辩证唯物,哈哈!也变得更具职业习惯的色彩。
        你不知道别人怎么想,怎么去评估和预测别人的行为?只会犯镜像思维的错误,还以为自己在换位思考。会后第二天早上醒来,我说出的第一句话就是:“我说的是对的!”我坚信我提的建议是对的,因为就在醒来的一刹那,我想到了《菊花与刀》,想到了当时的背景。那是上世纪40年代的事,而我们中的许多人在21世纪第二个十年快到来的时候,还没有明白那个道理。貌似雄心勃勃的设想,其实不过是鼠目寸光的一项计划罢了!旁边的姐姐对我说:“肯定要黄!”我说:“黄了才好呢!”因为我知道,它必将黄!

    the Plateau

      维塔斯竟然学起了中文,唱出了海豚音版的《青藏高原》!虽然依然没有完全摆脱洋味,但整体讲来咬字非常清晰!邪媚,用这个词来形容他再贴切不过了!
      高原的诱惑力太强了!赶紧锻炼身体吧!
