[生活] Christmas and my 30th birthday
今年的耶誕節是我的30歲生日, 一個喜愛耶誕節的人出生在耶誕節, 究竟是因果關係還是美好的巧合呢?
This Christmas is also my 30th birthday. Someone who was born on Christmas likes Christmas so much. Is this a causal relationship or just a magnificent coincidence?
[音樂] Borderline - 鬼束千尋
"Borderline" by 鬼束千尋
雑音が静けさに変わる瞬間を
絆が少しずつ欠ける惨劇を
切り裂けば楽になれた証拠を
どうか見逃さないで
置き去るのは過去だけでいい
FEEL ACROSS THE BORDERLINE
NOW YOU'RE SAVED AND YOU UNDERSTAND
さあ 神の指を舐めるの
貴方には低温な重さしか見えない
それなら秘密など共有出来ない
歯車が音を立てる時には
依存を自覚していて
掴んだその手を放して
FEEL ACROSS THE BORDERLINE
NOW YOU'RE SAVED AND YOU WAKE UP
さあ この運命を辿るの
奪うのが何を害すれば
世界は歪むのも惜しまずに
FEEL ACROSS THE BORDERLINE
シナリオも次第に変形を急ぐ
海底も明かりの漏れを思い出す
ざわめきと今手にした鍵で
自分が何を起こせる？
悲しみで炎も灯せる？
FEEL ACROSS THE BORDERLINE
NOW YOU'RE SAVED AND YOU UNDERSTAND
さあ 神の指を舐めるの
あらゆる毒がその呼吸(いき)を
潜めては攻め合いを求めてる
FEEL ACROSS THE BORDERLINE
[音樂] Terre - Florent Pagny
"Terre" by Florent Pagny
la route s'arrête
devant l'océan
dans l'aube tiède du levant
c'est l'ultime escale
la fin de l'errance
avant que j'ose le silence
ici la vie est comme toutes les autres vies
même valeurs, couleur
le ciel se mêle à la poussière
je commence à comprendre...
je connais ces terres
j'ai foulé ces pierres
j'y suis déjà venu
et j'y ai vécu
une sensation franche
cette lumière blanche
j'ai enfin trouvé
la paix que je cherchais
la journée s'achève
c'est l'heure où je veille
la mer va coucher le soleil
ici, la nuit me ramène à qui je suis
cette douceur, chaleur
me renvoient dans une autre vie
je commence à comprendre...
je connais ces terres
j'ai foulé ces pierres
j'y suis déjà venu
et j'y ai vécu
une sensation franche
cette lumière blanche
j'ai enfin trouvé
la paix que je cherchais
je connais ces terres
j'ai foulé ces pierres
j'y suis déjà venu
et j'y ai vécu je connais ces terres
j'ai foulé ces pierres
j'y suis déjà venu
et j'y ai vécu

[音樂] The Phantom of the Opera
剛在 Palace Theater 看了第二次的"歌劇魅影".
第一次是在約10年前的紐約. 希望下次再看這齣劇時是在倫敦.
Just watched "The Phantom of the Opera" in Palace Theater, Chicago. It's my second time.
The first time was in New York about ten years ago. Wish the next time will be in London.

[音樂] Sleeps With Butterflies - Tori Amos
"Sleeps With Butterflies" by Tori Amos
Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy
Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

"Ridiculous Thoughts" - The Cranberries
Twister, oh, does anyone see through you?
You're a twister, oh, an animal.
But you're so happy, now. I didn't go along with you,
So happy now, na na na.
But you're gonna have to hold on. You're gonna have to hold on,
You're gonna have to hold on, hold on, hold on.
Or we're gonna have to move on, We're gonna have to move on,
Or we're gonna have to move on, move on, move on.
I feel alright and I cried so hard, The ridiculous thoughts, oh.
I feel alright, alright, alright, alright.
Twister, oh, I shouldn't have trusted in you.
Twister, oh, na na na. It's not gonna happen, no.
You're not gonna make fun of me,
Happen now, na na na.
But you're gonna have to hold on. You're gonna have to hold on,
But you're gonna have to hold on, hold on, hold on.
Or we're gonna have to move on, We're gonna have to move on,
Or we're gonna have to move on, move on, move on.
I feel alright and I cried so hard, The ridiculous thoughts, oh.
I feel alright, alright, alright... Ah, I should have lied,
But I cried so hard, The ridiculous thoughts, ah.
I should have lied, have lied, have lied, have lied.
But you're gonna have to hold on.
You're gonna have to hold on...
Well, you're gonna have to hold on. You're gonna have to hold on,
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold.
Well, you're gonna have to hold on,
You're gonna have to hold on,

[音樂] 流星 - 王菲
"流星" - 王菲
我在海角你卻在天邊
兩顆註定一起出現的星星
遙遙呼應 卻永遠走不近
我和你在暗中互相輝映
究竟這樣是纏綿 還是互相毀滅
已經太久 無法承受
我要逃出你這溫柔的宇宙
化作一顆流星 不管飛向那裡
我身後有閃爍的回憶
我是一顆流星 我有一個希望
離開你 我自己美麗的消逝
我們之間像沒有什麼
只有一條流著眼淚的銀河
你是牛郎 我不敢做織女
我不要延續淒涼的詩歌
不想這樣的纏綿 不要互相毀滅
已經太久 無法承受
是我再次回到凡塵的時候
化作一顆流星 不管飛向那裡
我身後有閃爍的回憶
我是一顆流星 只有一個希望
離開你 我自己美麗
化作一顆流星 不管飛向那裡
我身後有你我的回憶
數不盡的流星 只有一個希望
我尋找 我自己美麗故事

Wicked Game | Chris Isaak
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This love is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This love is only gonna break your heart)
With you
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
(This love is only gonna break your heart)
And I don't want to fall in love
(This love is only gonna break your heart)
With you
World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't wanna fall in love
(This love is only gonna break your heart)
No I...
(This love is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
[音樂] Now You're Not Here - Swing Out Sister
寫著作業的星期天午後...
Sunday afternoon, I am working on my assignment...
"Now You're Not Here" - Swing Out Sister
Love was young
We saw beyond a sky that had no limits
Much higher than the highest star
Beyond the furthest planet
We thought that we could change the world
And everything in it
But time ran out of endless hours
Gave into doubt, were we just playing an endless game
That no one ever wins
If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here
Love and hate
Left up to fate
A life we took for granted
We couldn't stop our running from the things we always wanted
No long goodbyes
No tears to cry
And nothing to believe in
But now you're gone
We'll never know a love that's grown
Time took away
All that it gave to the two of us
If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here
When our hearts were young and nights were long
We'd let the morning sun kiss our eyes open
Precious dreams that we had now they are dead and gone
The promises we made have all been broken
If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here
In my arms
In my life
Lovin' you, is just a memory
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

"Your Name Never Gone" - Chemistry
詞 / 麻生哲朗 曲 / SPANOVA
どんな言葉も剥がれ落ちていく この気持ちを愛だとするのなら
最後にひとつ ただありのままに口にできる言葉は
終わりなんかない ありふれたキミの名前
夢と現在の説明もつかない 覚束ないままの日々に
夢も現在もかき混ぜて笑う 不思議なチカラに出会った
真実と嘘が互いに陰を落としあう星の中の光
キミの名前が ふらついたボクを 羽ばたかせる呪文になるのなら
空を突き抜け 闇も切り裂いて 誰かが決めつけてる勝手な未来も
描き変えてしまえるだろう…
いつも出来合いのやりとりにすがる 意気地がないだけの日々に
色や形とか意味も変わるのに 信じてみるしかないモノ
限りなく地図や時代が塗り替えられても消えはしない光
キミの名前が 臆病な日々を 勇敢な物語に変えるなら
キミの指から 見知らぬ場所まで伸びた赤い鎖も ちぎりとるだろう…
何も知らないでも 何を知ってるでもなく
ありのままならば 無限に広がり続ける
どんな言葉も剥がれ落ちていく この気持ちを愛だとするのなら
最後にひとつ いつまでもボクが残しておく言葉は
終わりなんかない 美しいキミの名前

[音樂] 7 Seconds - Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry
"7 Seconds" by Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry
Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale
Roughneck and rudeness,
We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle is not over
Even when it's won
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

[好物] Samsung SGH-i780
[閱讀中文版]
Samsung SGH-i600/607, nicknamed "BlackJack", was first introduced in 2006.
With GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 + HSDPA + Bluetooth + Wi-Fi (no Wi-Fi for US version) and thin built body, BJ has successfully won the first battle in the smartphone class.
However, as a BJ owner, my biggest regret of its hardware specifications is the lacking of touch screen and built-in GPS.
Something is different now...
Samsung just released the information of the successor of BJ - SGH-i780 on Dubai's GITEX show.
Something we know about i780:
* Windows Mobile 6 Professional
* 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM
* 2.55" 320 x 320 full touch-screen (finger scrolling, fluid scrolling. as in HTC Touch)
* mouse-like pointer (with cursor on the screen - demo video)
* QWERTY thumb-keyboard
* full browser (should be Picsel Browser. similar to iPhone's Safari)
* built-in GPS
* triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE at 900/1800/1900 MHz
* singleband UMTS/HSDPA at 2100 MHz
* WLAN (802.11b/g)
* Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
* 2 megapixel camera and front facing VGA shooter
* microSD card slot
* size 115.9 x 61.3 x 13.3 mm

BB: I am one big walking chemical reaction
CH: A buzzing hive of cell synapsis and nacent self perception
BB: Isn't it disdainful and curious

We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind

BB: That both of us think we know everything

We both have brains,

CH: That both of us think we know everything
BB:
We both have pains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)

微涼初秋, 悠閒的星期天中午
"Close To You" - Carpenters
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together

"Self Control" - Laura Branigan
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself
believe it
That this night will never go
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
You take my self, you take my self control...

[Patti:]
Thinking back in time
When love was only in my mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance
You've got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
[Both:]
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
[James:]
Spending every dime
To keep you talking on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand-new way
Of looking at your life
When you know that love
Is standing by your side
[Both:]
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
[James:]
The nights can be cold
There's a chill to every evening
When you're all alone
[Patti:]
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here
To keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)
[Both:]
Baby, come to me (come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be (my love)
And I'm oh so, glad I found you
(Oh, so glad I found you)
Need you every day (every day)
Gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have you)
Baby, always stay
[Patti:]
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
[Both:]
Come to me
(Let me put my arms around you)
Let me put my arms around you

(Hey, I need you every day, baby)
And I'm oh, so glad I found you
Need you every day
Gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have you and I want you to stay)
Baby, always stay
[James:]
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
[Both:]
Come to me (come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
(Love me, love me, baby)
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you....
[觀察] Virtualization - threat or menace? - CNET News.com
IT業界關於虛擬化(virtualization)應用的風潮正起
"Virtualization - threat or menace? - CNET News.com"
Posted by Peter Glaskowsky
這篇文章提到一個很有意思的概念 - "virtual appliances"
整理重點如下:
1. in the future, applications may be distributed in the form of complete virtual machines, including all the operating-system code they need.
2. the application can be treated as a self-contained object that performs a specific purpose without requiring a lot of configuration.
3. simpler software development, improved reliability and stronger security.
4. instant cross-platform compatibility
Traditionally, operating systems have played two roles: managing hardware and providing services to software. Virtualization separates those functions, which could separate the interests of hardware and software developers.
簡言之
在"web application"與"virtualization"兩者推波助瀾下
用戶端作業系統將由今日主流"all-in-one"的堆疊式架構走向未來高度模組化的"thin-client"定位
作業系統將成為高度精簡高效率的中介軟體(middleware)透過標準化接口連結各式服務應用
在企業級IT架構我們稱為SOA, 而個人應用層級的"virtual appliances"也將興起
拭目以待
覺得此概念抽象的朋友, 可以把"virtual appliances"想像成類似現今"綠色軟體"的概念
[好物] Apple's new iMac
在今天 Apple 發表了新款 iMac
銀色主體+黑色邊框取代上一代的白色
Apple iMac 官方網站
欣賞的:
1. 線條更加洗鍊
2. Simple is Beauty
3. 搭配的新款有線/無線鍵盤
有線鍵盤
無線鍵盤
不欣賞的:
1. 黑色邊框的不協調感
2. 中看不中用的鏡面螢幕
3. 沒有整體感的白色滑鼠與質感拙劣的遙控器(Apple Remote)
4. 停滯不前的整體架構
[音樂] 放任分離 - 齊秦+許茹芸
在高中時第一次聽到許茹芸的聲音, 那時她尚未發片
"放任分離" - 齊秦+許茹芸
詞 / 林秋離 曲 / 齊秦
想走也可以 不想離去也可以
只是別對我嘆息
門外的風雨 煽動心情錯到底
這一切都沒道理
彼此都在壓抑
西風開始哭泣
又怎麼能面對你
心中亂的可以
如此千頭萬緒
傷害不只是你
而我無法停止風雨
只好放任分離
想醉不容易 酒是要命的東西
總是讓我想著妳
愛的無結局 好過醉在痛苦裡
我的快樂很空虛
彼此都在壓抑
西風開始哭泣 (愛沒有結局)
又怎麼能面對你 (好過醉在痛苦裡)
心中亂的可以 (風)
如此千頭萬緒 (開始哭泣)
傷害不只是你 (開始孤寂)
而我無法停止風雨
只好放任你分離
[音樂] 放聲大哭 - 許如芸 / Moving - Kate Bush
許多年前的某個夏天午後, 走進唱片行正播放這首歌
"放聲大哭" - 許如芸
茫茫人海 到處飄飄盪盪
逆風而行 不得不倔強
早己經習慣影子 空心 孤單
透明的綑綁
怕荒蕪 流不出眼淚
誰來救我 除了你
抓住我 別讓我溜走
我的心 只有你能收
自言自語 自己討厭自己
收起所有的鏡子逃避
斷翅的靈魂 無法飛出眼眸
躲在床單裡嘆息
好想哭 流不出眼淚
誰來和我跳支舞
抓住我 別讓我溜走
抓住我 緊緊抱住我
用你的愛 快快淹沒我
好讓我 放心大聲哭
‧原曲‧
"Moving" - Kate Bush
Moving stranger
Does it really matter
As long as you're not afraid to feel?
Touch me, hold me
How my open arms ache
Try to fall for me
How I'm moved
How you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul
Moving liquid
Yes, you are just as water
You flow around all that comes in your way
Don't think it over
It always takes you over
And sets your spirit dancing
How I'm moved
How you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul
[音樂] I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight | Cutting Crew
黃金80年代I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight | Cutting Crew
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way get out of this
Her diary, it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head
I know I was wrong
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
[記事] Firefox與IE的消長
照例在週一上午收到上星期的Google Analytics (分析)報表
恩...這次某些數據的消長變化很有意思
使用Firefox瀏覽這個部落格的比例由前兩週的49.35%來到上週的73.99%
而使用IE的比例則由49.35%降到22.87%
兩者目前的比例大約是 - Firefox : IE = 7 : 2
我喜歡這樣的變化
雖然這是個樣本數很小的觀察

[電影] ゲド戦記
Friday night的家庭電影院, 這次看了吉卜力工作室的新作 - "ゲド戦記"
大師宮崎駿領導的吉卜力工作室來到了世代傳承的時刻
這是其子宮崎吾朗交出的第一個作品
ゲド戦記改編自美國小說家 Ursula Kroeber Le Guin 的著名系列著作 - Earthsea Cycle(地海傳說)
這是一個有著龍‧巫師‧魔法的奇幻故事
電影才開場, 就對其單調平面的畫風感到不安
影片結束後, 心中難掩落寞的失望情緒
其劇情與敘事手法一如其畫風般缺乏層次感與深度
(延伸閱讀 : totorojack所寫的"失敗？讓宮崎駿來拍地海戰記好嗎？吉卜力的最大危機")
當下吉卜力面對著後宮崎駿時代的轉型陣痛期
我不知道沒有了宮崎駿的吉卜力將會走向何方
但我懷念宮崎駿作品中描述的自然‧和平‧飛行‧愛‧勇氣‧冒險與總是溫柔而堅強的女性
