等等等

想得我腸兒寸斷 望得我眼兒欲穿 好容易望到了你回來 算算已三年
想不到才見面 別離又在明天 這一回你去了幾時來 難道又三年
左三年 右三年 這一生見面有幾天 橫三年 堅三年 還不如不見面








死人奧林巴斯,想我等到幾時?

如果有所謂音樂品味……

我的品味相當不合群。他的容祖兒和他的李克勤都不差,但也不是我熱中的類型。今天iTunes亂播,才忽然發現Phil Harris & Bruce Reitherman的The Bare Necessities很對味。看看原來是來自一位朋友送我的CD。現在才發現,不管有心抑或無意,這位已經走出我生活的女人,在這事上做得最合格。

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you

(Reprise) Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
With just the bare necessities of life



別想太多,只是bare necessity of music罷了。

引人暇想

某晚,豬儀忽然問曰:「豬僻點開始架?」
經其一問,僻心悠然盪回五年前那個夏天,我們初相遇的地方。第一次見面的情形,她的形容姿貌。後來我的離開與重逢,約會那夜的火花………
回味得正出神之際,豬儀喝曰:「喂,我問緊你我地幾時開始睇份essay啊?無時間啦!」
唉,夢緣夢滅,方止半秒。下次行行好,請用完整句子提問。

你出白飯我出豉油

有見某些朋友對我生活環境似乎有些不必要的擔心,玆推介成語數條方便諸君加強氣氛。
牛衣對泣、三旬九食、妾無副服、簞食瓢飲、晨炊星飯、環堵蕭然、荊釵布襖。

還有想到一個不是成語,是郭店楚墓竹簡其中一篇名,叫《窮達以時》。不過我是犯了望文生義的錯誤,窮達不是財務概念,「窮則獨善其身,達則兼善天下。」說的是出位與否,和諸公幻想不太相干。

Just the Start

[10/11/2006: Youtube link to the MV added.]

No matter who you are,
Won't you come into my world?
Like a shooting star,
Take this journey with me to the heart,
Can't you see that this is just the start?





有看過Oliver's Twist(被無線譯成逼人噴飯的《大城小廚請食飯》),應該會對主題曲有所印象。
好個just the start,教人充滿希望。

End of the beginning

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins

This is where our story ends

Never lovers, ever friends

Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day

But before you walk away

I sincerely want to say....................

What did I want to say? Look at my old posts for answer. I just put in what I missed last time.

又是她

在外鄉聽陳綺貞,是寂寞裡的安慰。
問題是不管你的心情如何,她都先讓你寂寞,再徐徐撫慰。
真夠殘的。

推論死亡


若一樣對你很重要的事物離你而去,今生不知何日得重逢,我的建議是當他丟了爛了死了去了。這樣會比較好過。

Quadrennial Jubilee

昨晚是我倆的慶辰,剛好是今年中秋。中秋只是剛好碰上,所以慶日才是不變的主題。
另一個「剛好」是詠儀病了,胃口不佳,晚餐只能小心準備。先到雜貨店購一連皮粟米,用來煮湯。想包她愛吃的韭菜餃子,問題是在這種朔北之野,哪來韭菜?(要找的話是可以,不過中國店太遠,也不一定有。)韭菜先不說,連豬肉也成問題。附近的兩家超市居然沒有免治豬肉,總不能用豬扒包水餃吧?另外粟米煲湯也得有點肉,翻遍這兩家超市卻找不到帶骨的豬肉,連平常「煲湯之友」的急凍小春雞也沒有,全都是一片片抽象地成列平躺在塑料包裡的肉片。洋人的飲食過於文明,看來快要忘記豬牛雞鴨是長甚麼模樣,渾然「所見無非全牛者」的境界。湯要有點骨頭才熬得甜,這點小道理似乎沒有隨全球化傳入西方文明。
文明還文明,節慶歸節慶。我們的周年水餃仍要包下去的。蒼天有眼,找到急凍免治羊肉,本是供人做派用的,也不管得那麼多,就洋為華用包一頓「清真羊肉餃」唄!可是包水餃總不能沒菜的,否則變成麵皮裹肉丸,搵鬼食。上次超市出現過的「青江菜」照例又在關鍵時刻失蹤。搜腸刮肚的想有甚麼可以替代,青瓜番茄波菜露筍全都不行。最後神來之筆想到用Leek來代替。
各位去查字典的話,十居其九都會告訴你leek就是韭菜。其實不然,leek的學名是Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum,韭菜是Allium tuberosum,兩者同是蔥科蔥屬,不過leek要大棵很多,而且是主要吃近根部的白色部份。不管了,買一包baby leek回去(怕一般的貨色質地太粗)做羊肉餃。
這道羊肉餃可說由零包起,因為連皮都要自己和麵搓揉。詠儀說的輕鬆:「去中國店買不就成了嘛。」餃子一半的樂趣在DIY,況且一包現成餃子皮最少五十塊,兩口子要吃到何年何月?說回那個leek真是條硬漢,切得我手軟。末了怕只放leek太單調,撕一片椰菜葉亂刀粉碎,保證餡料食味清甜。桿麵皮總是自不似人形始,再漸入佳境。白水煮熟,配基本的沾醬:醬油、生蒜泥和白糖。忘了放少許醋,要不然更妙。
說回粟米湯,無計可施之下買了「連骨雞上脾」來煮湯,可算窮奢極侈。可幸粟米鬚不負所托,煲蓋一掀清香撲面,連感冒中的詠儀也說很香。
我倆的「亞麻」(linen)周年紀念就是在羊肉、粟米、月光和高燒之下度過。算是四年以來最正式的一次。
