又2个星期没发博，自我鄙视下先.流水帐回顾下-6月底老好SHELLY到访，伙同同是爱尔兰的老友SNOW，午夜和SHELLY的胖子德国老总喝鸡尾酒，我念旧点了BLUE MAGARITA，不过其实俺怀念的是绿色粘盐的那种，记住了TAQUILA国内译名是龙舌兰。之前等SHELLY飞机落地时候是在著名的南锣鼓巷溜达，在一家只有4张桌的人家里吃了海鲜烧烤，点了生蚝和扇贝就着黑加仑。巷子里买本子一个，顺带品尝了传说中的双皮奶，香甜可口，一桶吃下超级满足，但是也多少有些甜腻。听说了SNOW曾有一气吃了5桶的记录，不由当面把她也鄙视了一下。随后等待SHELLY的时间，二人溜达到什刹海，走过荷花市场和银锭桥，走累了的SNOW咬牙切齿要寻找个便宜，安静没人唱歌，有大空调的酒吧坐下。在我们走的精疲力尽的时刻，SNOW挑选就近的一个大门，挨窗坐下。酒单一上，我们两个待业青年小惊一下，老实点了最便宜的喜力啤酒。我使劲蹬SNOW两眼，还找便宜的地儿呢，直接给宰了。好歹我们自我安慰下至少另外俩条件还符合。没想到坐定没过5分钟，一群人冲上中间台子，一时鼓和吉他大作，我和SNOW2次失望。接下2分钟呢，我们座位旁的窗户也被侍应生无情的打开，落地窗一开，热浪马上涌进，窗外还迅速聚集大群路人往里面观望，霎那间SNOW选择歇脚的3个条件--便宜，安静，凉快都被打击完毕了。我二人只能相对讪笑。

SHELLY的神奇英国同事在青岛工作，北京2环有处住所，给我们聚会借助一晚。邮件发来的地址居然是经纬度。。。这是俺们平生第一次给的地址以经纬度给的，加上我最近拜读完英国人的哈瓦那特派员，研究位置来很有些特工味道。SNOW自告奋勇，一人承担了找到房间的任务。最终结果是，鸡尾酒后，午夜12点，北京的街头上，看到拉着沉重箱子的SHELLY，喝得晕乎的SNOW和疲惫的我，茫然的站在陌生的大楼前，不知如何和保安解释这个经纬度的问题。最后，加上老英邮件里面附带的TIPS，楼前有个工商行，路边一排4座楼，加上GOOGLE MAP上输入经纬度后显示的花市斜街，俺们成功的找到了单元号，在1点前入住下来。2个房间不到50平米的小FLAT那个脏就不提了，一不小心让俺翻出一抽屉的黄片，俺们头上汗了一下，背后小诋毁了下借房子的60高龄的老英，身体不错。第二日，老好SHELLY冲好咖啡等我起床，然后诡异通知我，不好意思，马桶堵了。。。。我。。。正好肚子着凉，那个急。。。

三里屯VILLEGE是最近北京新贵集散地，是俺回北京后去过最多次的地方啦。我们一行冲进MEGA电影院，还是误了变形金刚2的开头。看完出来SNOW下结论，敢情是个喜剧片。SHELLY来去匆匆，急急去赶飞机。别过SNOW，等BARB下班汇合吃晚饭还要2个时辰，我这样不喜欢逛街的人决定趁全天电影半价，再去看个TERMINATOR。2个小时的激烈电影，成功的喜欢上了澳大利亚那粒新帅哥，顺带对PALE再次失望下。带着几乎半聋的耳朵们找到BARB，由地下上到3楼进入了BARB积极推崇的恒河印度餐厅。大快朵颐肚歪后，准备打道回府。刚下商场电梯一对陌生男女忽然栏路，手拿两张影票，“给你们去看电影吧，我们看过啦，不想去了，还有10分钟开演”，说完塞在我们手中，定睛一看，又是变形金刚。半价还是40一张的电影票，BARB没看过，找别人来陪看也来不及了，俺只好影院坐下，看同一天第2遍变形金刚和第三场美国大片。出来后，本来从半聋恢复了耳朵又回到了半聋的状态。看完11点多，打车回家40元，等同一场白给的电影票钱。

 

 

在国家大剧院观看了平生第一场芭蕾，德国巴伐利亚慕尼黑舞团（Bvarian State Ballet (Munich))的《雷梦达》。提前1个小时抵达闻名的国家大剧院，果然名不虚传，建筑物及其壮观大气。持有演出票才可以免费观看馆内的常规展览，水底的长廊左侧是袁运甫的60年代到70年代的作品，大部分是水粉作品。右侧是歌剧历史的介绍和演出的戏服展示等，我个人最喜欢是场地中间玻璃桌里面陈列的各出剧目的手工的服装设计图，色泽缤纷。接下是个小的展厅介绍国家大剧院的建造历史。里面有同时参加提案的几个设计方案，另有一个英国事务所设计的建筑也很吸引人，不过可能法国人这个把建筑建设在水里的提议更吸引人们的眼球吧。只有不到一个小时的时间浏览，还要留出我的咖啡时间，所以只是走马观花的看了一下，将来估计自己也会变成常客，所以也不觉惋惜，留些下次再看。

水下的走廊通往主建筑，抬头可以看到清晰的水的纹路，清澈透明。让我联想到在大英博物馆同样抬头看透明玻璃的顶棚，看到大堆的鸟屎，还是中国人的门面功夫做的更彻底一些。

主厅里面令人印象最深刻是采自巴西的红衫木做的顶棚，暗红沉着大气，还有地面上各色的大理石，抬头低头都是满眼的庄重和。。豪华。工作人员都比较友好热情，不过男接待人员的半马褂式的制服有点像是在饭店的服务员。。。扣点分。由于早上在中国科技馆溜达3个小时，晚上体力不支，是一定要靠咖啡支撑的。于是跑到2层的咖啡厅坐下，考察结果是小三明治25元一个，速溶咖啡在纸杯里15元，物非所值。

7点半演出开场。Raymonda的大意是在法国一个叫做雷梦达的女伯爵同时有两位追求者，门当户对德布里安伯爵和阿拉伯王子阿卜杜拉曼王子。女伯爵能就犹豫不决，一边是白衣文雅的伯爵，一边是莽撞狂野的王子。不过根据流行已久的规则，大多女人喜欢WILD MAN，就多少心仪阿拉伯王子拉。可是封建的旧势力处处阻拦，结果伯爵和王子决斗，伯爵在守护神白衣夫人帮助下把王子杀掉，把女伯爵征服结婚啦。唉，整个婚礼还来个见证两人的爱情，我看来整个是梁祝嘛，只不过女伯爵最后从了。

根据BABR的介绍，这个舞蹈是比较古典的编舞，中间的舞的场景真的是美，但是比较缓慢和闷（我比较外行），除了阿拉伯王子的出场，表现他的莽撞和诱惑的挑逗，舞蹈演员也比白衣伯爵帅。最喜欢的是第二幕和第四幕。女主舞跳的很好看，身体真是柔软，无骨似的。

我们的座位在3楼，所以不大看的到楼下的演奏乐队，我个人是比较喜欢看指挥的背影和动作的一般。

 

另外一点小感受，好多人迟到，表演开始了才入场，是在是太太太太讨厌啦，而且有人穿泡沫拖鞋入场。。。。无语。除此之外我的第一次看芭蕾经验还是不错了，要再接再厉

PS I LOVE YOU

大家谁知道怎么把网上下的照片传上去啊，我怎么发不了：（

今年看了很多不同的电影，可以推荐的是少之又少，不知道是不是巧合，这个月我的ONLING RENTAL发过来的爱情电影比较多，推荐以上三部。PS I LOVE YOU 有特有的爱尔兰加美国的幽默，本来的生死离别在剧情下也令人充满了对未来的希望，加上自己在爱尔兰的生活经验，听到重重的口音也感到亲切：）

ENTERING&BREAKING相比较下就沉重了一些，但是很有现代气息，背景发生在繁忙混乱的伦敦，触礁的爱情，社会的不安定，妓女，种族和移民，听起来都是很沉重的话题，但是拍的很有娱乐性，毕竟型男靓女比较多，特式的英国幽默，尤其是JUDE LAW和他的SWEDISH妻子在汽车里的一幕，那样的沉默，可以感觉到的ICE，不禁心里暗暗着急，想去BREAK THE ICE，但是又有种无从入手的无奈。

最喜欢的是AUGUST RUSH，在3部电影中，这部是最浪漫的到不可信任的地步，可是明明知道不可信，还是沉醉在剧情和音乐中，感觉很像回到年少的时候躲在房间中边读琼瑶变流泪的情景，那是那样的年少，可以深深沉浸在一个编织出来的爱情故事里面，眼前的电影同样的浪漫无比，但是自己已经少了那份天真。JOHANSON，有是一个爱尔兰的演员，英俊的很，或者是俊俏吧，KERI也是无比的美丽。

 

人们都在说 ‘Desperate housewives’很有趣，但为什么我会在看这样一处美国炮制的大红剧集竟然忍不住泪留满面？虽然经常也被中间的情节逗乐，但总掩饰不了心中的沉重。编剧为什么把生活的残酷暴露的这样真实呢？亦舒说最黑暗的地方是人的心，但或许黑暗和光明是并存在人心中的。又或者看这样一出剧根本不需要思考，只有娱乐就可以了，不然人生就太悲观了吧。
