思緒集散地

電影一開始 旁白就說道
This is not a love story; this is a story about love.

無意間打開阿桑的第一張專輯來聽
距離她離開這個世界已經十個月了....
我是從"寂寞在唱歌"開始聽她的歌的
也覺得那張專輯很不錯
有很多耐聽的歌曲也正是我2005年的背景音樂
可惜似乎是屬於小眾市場?
對照起她過去一生的遭遇與她滄桑的嗓音
真的覺得造化弄人啊
有時候即使很努力很努力
也敵不過命運的安排啊......

所以現在才聽她的第一張專輯
就多了一種悼念的心情
想起就不再會有更新的作品出現了
心中滿是惋惜

為了不在週間工作日時分心
所以一連三天把十一集全看完啦

這一年的聖誕節有機會體驗人生中的第一次滑雪
地點是夏天時才拜訪過的麥迪遜近郊
同行的有實驗室學姐以及學姐的大學同窗兼在地好友

看了一篇文章
標題是"洗澡洗再快也不夠：為甚麼個人改變不等於政治改變"
是在講為什麼個人的改變沒辦法改變這個世界
主題是放在環境保護運動 論點還滿一針見血

因為最近很多坐在辦公桌前不能亂動的時間(是為了讀寫paper)
所以有了機會把入手已久的音樂拿來聽聽
於是地海戰記 四月物語配樂跟恩雅的"And winter came"就變成最近最常聽的曲目了

Chiquitita by ABBA


Chiquitita, tell me whats wrong
Youre enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Im a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, Im the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see youve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving
Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your loves a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving
Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

今天Mamma Mia!到普度演出
每年大概都是十月的時候 這裡會有這種音樂劇演出的機會
去年應該是Evita吧
(更正 去年應該是Chicago, Evita是Hairspray隔年二三月事情了, 並非十月)
再早一年 是Hairspray

台灣南部發生了大水災
想必最近的新聞一定充滿了令人鼻酸的畫面跟故事
另一方面也會有譴責之聲隨之而來

不知不覺中 到這個地方已經滿兩年了
8/5那天顯然是在擔心real-time PCR結果的問題
所以完全沒想到倏忽又過了一年

因為在圖書館裡發現有外國電影DVD
而且看了一下還有英文字幕
所以這部韓國公司出版的日本電影"情書"就被我借回家回味了

又開了一部日劇來看
這次是Orange days 也是當初帶來這兒要看的
卻一直拖到現在.....
