I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
—— A song by Death Cab For Cutie, from Plan
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

Veronica is BACK!!!

Veronica Mars is back on 23rd this month. Hope the 10th episode will soon appear on VeryCD. I just visited a fansite(http://www.marsinvestigations.net/) of the show. It didn't surprise me that there's detailed timeline of the whole story. So check it out! Veronica, my idol, my favourite girl detective, was born in August. 1987, which I vaguely got to know when noticing the dates in the show. And Logan, the bad boy always with a baby smile, is just going to have his 19th birthday somewhere between Feb 20th and Mar 20th. Well, little sister and little brother, I know you are made-up characters but I've really learned a lot from you guys. Veronica, smart, tough and kindhearted, although overcontrolling, sometimes reminds of Kim Possible, a cartoon super girl. Their only major same point is that they can achieve what they want, confidently, boldly. That's what I lack and admire them for. Seldom have I felt sorry for breakup of lovers in TV series, however I feel sour in heart when V and L finally gave up the relationship.
Fansites always do fanatic and fantasitc things. Guess what? The timeline gives links of the main characters' Myspace. The first one I opened is Weevil's page. His profile is consistent with the show. And in Veronica's page I found someone said she would name her first baby Veronica if it's a girl. What fun! I fell like the show is paralleld with real life. I love ya, Vernoica Mars(I mean the show). And Chinese TV series, I sincerely ask you to GO TO HELL.
By the way, I started wathcing Lost yesterday. Awesome too.

没有我的日子
如果一部电影有某句话看起来很有哲理让人印象深刻,那么它难免让人觉得做作。《My life without me》恰好拥有这样的台词,可它却是我今年我看过的最自然亲切的电影。
安用车上的音响听中文教学磁带。她的妈妈对她说,你就不能做点正常的事么?安说:“没有人是正常的。每个人都不正常。”
安在23岁那年得知自己患上绝症,至多有两三个月的寿命。她有两个可爱的女儿,一个4岁,一个7岁。她17岁时在涅磐乐队的告别演唱会上认识了她们的爸爸。他们至今恩爱,住在她妈妈后院的房车(?)里。在安生命最后的日子里,死亡绝不显得沉重、也绝不轻佻。她列了一个单子,死前要做的事情。首先,绝不让其它人知道她将离去的消息。然后她有一些安排或者说是小心愿,它们既有母亲的稳重与温柔,也有23岁女孩的疯狂与调皮。
刚看影片开头的时候,我心里说,得了,又一个反映下层人民悲惨生活的片子。在大学里当清洁女工、年纪青青就有了两个女孩,爸爸在牢里蹲了十年,丈夫常年失业——当我开始有些不耐烦的时候,影片里工作晚归的安钻进被窝,睡在里面的丈夫被她冰冷的身躯冻醒,一边开玩笑一边给她焐脚。两人嬉闹着结束了这平常的一天。
一下子,我对这部电影的成见全消散了。它并不模式化——不愁云惨淡,也不试图让你苦中傻乐。它零零散散、正常而且异常,像真的生活。
My life without me,并不像中文翻译的那样,是“没有我的日子”。而是指的当女主角安离开人世时,周围的人生活如常(或者有所改善)。这得益于安在死前的安排。弥留之际的安透过纱帘看另一个Ann和她的家人一起忙碌,好像真正的一家人,欣慰极了。如果此处影片想告诉我们什么的话,那绝不是安高尚的情操博大的胸怀之类的屁话。它只是静静展示了生活如常之美。一个生命淡出了人间,而流淌的生活之河不止。安让它过渡得更顺畅,从而她的离世是欣然美好的。每一个在她生命中出现的人对此都会带着微笑。
聪明美丽瘦弱的Ann,正常的安不正常的安,还没活够却走得从容的安,贤妻良母安,情人安,小孩子安。我喜欢安。我想我从她身上学到了点什么。
忽然觉得,越好的电影我越难从中总结出什么大道理。因为它复杂琐碎。要是让我打分,《黑暗中的舞者》肯定不如《没有我的日子》分高。因为我能从前者总结出东西来。后者却让我难于表达。
顺便说一句,觉得Ann很像现在的英语老师钱晓玲,于是更加喜欢小玲同志了。
再顺便说一句,感谢学校烂到一定程度的选课系统,没有它的支持,我也不会在复习考试的百忙之中抽出时间来写这么一篇屁话。

滚滚而来的流水帐
- 作业狂多,前一阵子游手好闲,现在终于有报应了。
- 考试狂郁闷。辅修考试让我重温了高中的感觉。那时一天到晚考麻木了,不觉得什么。现在是深切的恨。满眼头头是道的文字以“知识”自居,却使我们和生活的本质越离越远。
- 24号晚上十一点半,七个人骑着五辆自行车去人民广场。我骑一辆没有前轧的破车驮着一个昏昏欲睡的MM。途中遭遇小雨。在夜的上海漫游。南京路步行街上行人、小贩三三两两。通宵麦当劳里灯火通明,人满为患。在福州路上发现三只老鼠并讨论它们和学校的同类生活得更优越。三点多的时候,大家都累了。遂归。
男生们一时兴起买的玫瑰花束,掉到地上n次。幸好黑暗中也看不到它们萎靡的样子。回宿舍后便随手一丢。这一夜,看似疯狂,其实也没什么特别。
