I am Your Sunshine

Tuscany Derby.

今天 Mutu 沒上場, 但因為我看的是延播, 完全不敢去找新聞看為什麼他沒上場. 後來才知道教練為了下周的 UEFA Cup 跟周末對戰 Juventus, 決定讓 Mutu 這場休息. 雖然是鄰居, Fiorentina 在積分榜的前五, Livorno 卻在倒數第二, 少了 Mutu 應該還是應付得來. 0-3 告訴我們教練的決定是對的. P.Osvaldo 的義甲首戰就為 Viola 進了兩球, Santana 再錦上添花.

對上弱隊, 這場比賽沒有周中對 Roma 那麼刺激好看, 但是積分卻是很補的. 經過今天的比賽, Fio 以12分躍升到聯賽第二 (Livorno 不幸地墊底了), 不過這應該是暫時的, 明天 Juventus, Napoli 與 Palermo 那下對手的機會都不小. 不敗紀錄繼續保持吧!

*另外看了Roma v Inter的下半場延播, 真是有夠歡樂. 為什麼今天我看的三場球賽都有紅牌啊… orz

West London derby.
(Derby! 話說小綿羊今天在家 1-1 逼平 Bolton. <- 連小綿羊都進球了 (／‵′)／~ ╧╧) 這場比賽空有進攻沒有進球, 而且真正很有威脅性的幾次攻擊反而是對方製造的 (還好他們 finish 也不怎麼樣 XD) 眼看 Sheva 射飛, Kalou 射飛, JCole 射飛, Kalou Kalou Kalou... 還是 Kalou, 真是非常洩氣. JT 受傷, 獸巴紅牌下場, 隊長袖標不斷換手. 很驚訝 Grant 竟大膽用 Malouda 換下 ACole, 不過仍然沒有成效. 我們就只剩下主場不敗紀錄了嗎?

[蘇超] Hibernian 3-2 Celtic
Celtic 有我喜歡的波蘭守門員 Artur Boruc. 一場連放兩槍, 有夠尷尬.
當 McGeady 進球將比分追平時 Boruc 超雀躍的 =_=
可是後來還是繼續放槍, 不要這樣啦…

另外, Hibernian 的門將 Makalamby 是切爾西產品呢!

[Bundesliga] FC Bayern Muechen 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen
小拜太讓我失望囉! 不過進球的是 ex-Viola Luca Toni, 勉強可以接受.
目前 Schalke 還是排第二.

[EPL] Portsmouth 7：4 Reading
這比 A’s 棒球得分還要多耶! (歡樂~~~)
最令人高興的還是 Croatian 小 Niko 進球啦! 恭喜恭喜 ^^ 十月中在國家隊也要加油喔~
其實這才是阿布想看的進攻足球嗎?

(換了教練又不來看是怎樣? 跟人家 Mark Cuban 學學好唄! 你最好是在物色新教練…)

*等下 Viola 的比賽是延播… 雖然說義甲的比賽不太會被雷到, 但我怕我自己忍不住去偷看比分 orz
(都是曼聯啦! FSC 直播曼聯所以把國米跟 Fio 的比賽都後延了 -_-
就不能乾脆把國米比賽移到下午播, 曼聯踢完後直播 Fio 嗎?)

B+

The beginning of the film reminded me of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Probably because the central character played a narrator role as well. However, Saints was not at all like KKBB, which was hysterically funny in a wacky way.

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is adapted from the memoir of singer/writer Dito Montiel, who also directed the film. For more info, check out Wiki.

I wasn’t very comfortable from the very beginning, cos I knew people are gonna die and they did. Death itself is not the issue; it’s the random violence I have a hard time handling, those street fights and hooliganism (that’s why I couldn’t even finish 1/3 of Green Street… not because of the sheer existence of Elijah Wood.) I wanted to give up several times during the film and I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s not a feel good movie but it does make you feel. In the time that we’re accustomed to keep ourselves numb, it’s so nice to be reminded about feelings, good or bad.

Apart from all that, Saints is beautifully shot and it has a great cast.

(不敢貼在板上, 大家都還陰晴不定的感覺… orz)

這張超好笑.
…pick a side. (or, let the manager do it.)

其他請見此.

蝦子小勝, 那一分還是點球拿的 (Rafinha 44′), 其實我不是很滿意.
在主場還不多進點球, 不過總算是拿下三分了…

雖然賽季以來 Schalke 從未敗過, 但平局了四場, GD 也遠遠落後大拜, 要加油耶. 因為這是第八輪的第一場比賽, 所以 Schalke 暫時以積分 16 坐在第二名, 明天會變成什麼樣子就不知道了…

明天大小拜請平手吧 :)

難怪我怎樣都找不到這部的 pilot, 原來 FOX 決定秋季不播這個影集 (被 Don’t Forget the Lyrics 擠掉 -_-) 預計明年一月當 mid-season 墊檔用的.

希望我到時會記得 :p

不過這樣讓我又少一部要跟的影集了!
現在 lineup 長這樣, 還是有…12部. orz

結果決定星期六下午要去 SF 了!

一大早起來先看 Chelsea v Fulam 的比賽, 去 Club Sport 上課 (看精神啦.)
然後中午看 Fiorentina 的比賽.

下午就出發到 SF. 前幾個禮拜計劃去 Union Square 那邊晃晃卻總是未能成行. (其實我只是想要到 Adidas 進貨 XD) 就在我有點心灰意冷 (對於 Chelsea) 想說那就算了吧, 忽然又有了去 SF 的理由 – Sweeney Todd, 而且劇院就在 Union Square 旁邊.

想想已經好久沒有去 SF 晃了呢. 還蠻期待的 =)

[Carling Cup] Hull 0 – 4 Chelsea
即使只是對抗英冠的 Hull, 我想這個勝利還是很重要的. 雖然 0-4 大勝無法再像魔力鳥時期那樣讓我們興奮, 而且說實在, Hull 坐在英冠底端, 拿不下來 Chelsea 可以直接將級了. 再怎麼不喜歡 Grant, 看到他灰頭土臉的下課也許會很愉快, 但是現下讓球員恢復狀態 (心理與生理) 是最必要的. 其他就先放到一邊吧. 這場比賽終於看到球員展露笑容, 而且無論對手是誰, 得分總是快樂的. :)

Come on you blues!

[Seria A] Fiorentina 2 – 2 AS Roma
這場比 Chelsea 的比賽早個十五分鐘開始, 所以其實 Chelsea 的比賽我沒有很專心看 (真是不應該! ><) 不得不承認 Viola 看起來還是略遜 AS Roma 一籌, 但整場比賽真的非常有質感. 無法在主場拿下 Roma 真可惜, 雖然說追平都感覺很靠運氣了 (Mutu 踢進點球追平比分.) 這下 Viola 又掉到聯賽第六. Forza Viola! [Bundesliga] MSV Duisburg 0 – 2 Schalke 04
客場勝排名十五的 Duisburg, 短暫佔據了第二名的位子一天, 隔日小拜勝FC Nuernberg, 又被追過. 目前排第三. 星期五第八輪戰 Hertha Berlin. (為什麼比賽會在星期五? -_-)

Err… 德國球隊都怎麼加油的?

Louismg’s doing a survey on AN. Before peeping everyone’s answer (I’m very easily influenced,) here’s mine.

1. Mark Ellis
I don’t think there’s any question about it. Mu screen name, EllisFanatic, says it all. As his errorless streak continues, he’s also improving in offense. He now leads in number of home runs for second baseman in 2007. But that doesn’t really matter to me. I like Mark Ellis because he’s so subtle yet he shines. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, everyone listens. And I LOVE seeing him make the plays.

2. Nick Swisher
It had to be Nick. ‘Cause we were born on the same day. And I love him being a talkative first baseman. And he usually looks happy to be on the field while working hard.

3. Joe Blanton
Cupcakes! I don’t know why. I just love this guy.

4. Travis Buck
Star rookie! The lineup always looks better with him in it. Love his game-ending diving catch as well!

(as of Sep 27 ’07)
5. Jack Hannahan.
He’s the kind of subtle yet quality guy I like.

6. Daric Barton
He’s gaining Buck status really quick and it seems that he’s not as injury-prone as Buck. Got good eyes and power, and also shows a will to learn.

每個人都有自己的安全距離，或長或短。對不同人的安全距離也與親疏之別而有遠近之分。

有時在電視或電影裡看到兩個人靠得很近對話，我會覺得渾身不自在，雖然通常是為了鏡頭好取的關係，但仍忍不住會想，哪有人站那麼近講話的啊。但其實可能是有的。我的安全距離算是比較長，於是常常會發生與安全距離較短的人談話時，對方不斷往我這邊靠近，而我不動聲色地退後，最後被困在牆角的窘境。

果然該對 Woody Allen 刮目相看。

會借這片只是因為它似乎頗有名，一部12年前的片讓我有應該不錯的印象，自然值得帶回家看一看。(其實主要還是衝著 John Cusack >//////< ) 超好笑而且神經質. In memory of Joe Viterelli

I’ve been a big fan of Ron Lytle ever since I saw him in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Later I learned that he’s not only an actor, he is also the resident playwright for the East Bay Children’s Theatre. And Oh, My Godmother was written and directed by him. It’s a real treat.

We have the honor to meet him after the show. =D

Spiderman 3 (2007)
B+
Spiderman 的動人之處一向在於它對人性細膩的刻畫, 沒有人是全善或全惡, 端看你切入的角度與立場. 也是因為 Peter Parker 總是那麼的討人厭, 一點也沒有聖人英雄的樣子, 這系列電影才那麼可親可信. 然而英雄就是要帶一點悲劇色彩, 這集蜘蛛人實在是歡樂得太不像樣.

萬事美好的開頭, 諷刺一個得意忘形的社會以及得意忘形的”英雄”. Peter 三不五時做出些讓人搖頭直嘆 “唉, teenager.” 的事, 然後我們又繼續以 “好吧, 看在他只是個 teenager 的份上” 為他開脫, 最終仍是無法忍受地在心裡抱怨 “你什麼時候才要長大?” 倒是 Harry 與 Eddie 大把搶走 Peter 的風采.

這集裡面我們看到非常善良的 Harry, 失去記憶之後純真的笑容令人心疼, 恢復記憶之後拙劣的復仇手段也讓人覺得可憐又難過.

其他的抱怨是: Venom 戲份太少, 沙人與 Spiderman 的 closure 太隨便太突然 (不是指 Peter 原諒太快) 很莫名其妙.

the idea was nice, but the story telling was awful. it ruined something that had the potential to achieve greatness. I’d blame it on Sam Raimi who took over screenplay this time. imho, Spider-man is supposed to be heavy and real; instead, it’s made into a musical like… merrily we swing along? It’s not bad, but not as good as I’d hoped.

查了一下, 前兩集導演是 Sam Raimi, 這集導演也還是他. 所以, 好吧, 問題不是出在導演上. 繼續往下看… 發現這集的編劇是 Sam Raimi 和 Ivan Raimi, 而前兩集的編劇不是他們. 結果還是 Sam Raimi 搞得鬼, 他破壞了一個經典故事的傳奇.

其餘繁瑣的種種: Continue Reading »

8/16/07 SF Slim’s Get Happy Tour
Bowling for Soup ft. Army of Freshman, Quiet Drive & Melee

直到今天早上, BFS 的音樂還在我腦海盈繞不去.

Bowling For Soup 的 Get Happy Tour 果然是貨真價實讓人聽完心情好的不得了的演唱會.
很喜歡 Army of Freshman, 主唱實在是太會帶氣氛了!

就是這樣, 很開心.

(看得出來我今天在清舊稿吧? XD)

A-

I cannot write about this. This has been sitting in my draft bin for… a month?

It’s a beautiful Irish movie. Definitely worth 1.5hr of your life.

So I wrote briefly about the first part of season 5 premier here, but after watching both women and men first round performance, I’d like to make another short note.

Jennie Garth, star of Beverly Hills: 90210 (Kelly), is still very very cute, despite the fact that she’s a mom of many many kids.

Her first dance was fox trot. It’s not an easy one for beginners. She’s okay, not too splendid but not a disaster, either. It’s worth it to make her stay in the show longer just for her adorable face.

Jane Seymour, I LOVE Jane Seymour. She is Bond girl and she’s Marguerite Blakeney in Scarlet Pimpernel. She beautiful and she’s fun.

Her first dance was fox trot and it’s the definition of elegancy.

Cameron Mathison, day-time soap star in All My Children, is… HOT. Let’s keep him, no matter what!

His first dance was fox trot. He has beautiful lines. I believe he has potential. (Well, he has what it takes to be great.)

yeah, yeah, yeah… I’m skin-deep. bite me! XD

Mark Cuban. He’s the reason why I wanna post another article on DWTS premier.

Mark Cuban is not from the Entertainment business. He’s the owner of Dallas Mavericks!!!! And apparently, he does a better job than our Roman (sigh). He bought the not so great Dallas Mavericks in 2000 and turned it into something more than basketball. You can tell that he does things not only from the business stand point but also as a fan. A fan with passion for the team and the sport, and that’s what makes him special. read more.

He’s doing good. And for the person he is, I’m gonna root for him more.

Albert Reed, model. He’s too thin for Latin dance. Let’s see how he does in ballroom rounds.

Josie Maran, a cute model who can’t dance. eliminated.

每次聽到這首歌都會耳朵一噹 (像眼睛一亮那樣), 跑去查是誰唱的, 才發現原來之前就查過了. 兩三次都是在電視影集遇到, 沒想到 Sia 的 wiki 之下還有一條 Trivia 專寫 Breathe Me 在哪些影集電影中出現過. XD
我應該是在 Fallen 跟 Bionic Women 聽到的. (In Justice 倒沒印象)

現在最期待的還是 Chelsea 的毛毯, 冬天將至, 毛毯好幸福~

I still can’t find my Jose Mourinho: Made in Portugal.
