Lenka：Trouble Is A Friend

最近在聽Lenka的專輯，發現她的聲音蠻特別的，似乎特別適合在夜晚聆聽，有點慵懶又有點俏皮，像是＜Skipalong＞，聽起來的感覺就讓人很放鬆，有別於Norah Jones的感覺；而＜Trouble Is A Friend＞則是讓人感覺有點俏皮的唱法，歌詞也很寫實，蠻愛這首歌的，推薦給大家聽聽看。

　　　　　　

Lyrics：
Trouble he will find you, no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the morn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control...
He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend yeah trouble is a friend of mine
Ah ooh...
Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road...
He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend yeah trouble is a friend of mine
oh oh
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win but I’m a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend yeah trouble is a friend of mine
ah ooh
How I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave,
I try, oh oh I try.....

Shoes：Red Wing is On Sale！

　　　
剛剛閒著沒事在逛Mobile01，結果就看到小弟愛用的靴子名牌Red Wing專賣店又有特價的消息傳出來了，於是就上他們的官方網頁看了一下，沒想到蠻多款式都有大幅的降價，不知道是為了什麼原因就是了，有人說是專賣店想要打擊網路上的水貨賣家，嗯，這我不予置評，也許只是想要出清一些庫存吧。

anyway，有特價，對於消費者而言當然就是受惠的一方，管它啥理由，是吧？哈～～

不過，這波調降價錢的活動有一個被幹的最慘的就是鞋墊的價錢了，之前有人買1,800，結果現在竟然只要500大洋！這讓之前花1,800大洋買的人怎麼能夠接受，哎哎，感覺好像冤大頭。不過，從中也可以看出專賣店的利潤有多大，真是太坑人了，還好我之前都沒有去專賣店買，看來有認識的管道的確是省下不少銀子，嘿嘿～～

其他優惠鞋款：
　　　

　　　

　　　

有興趣的朋友可以自己上台灣的RED WING官網去看看囉～～

拾金不昧

話說今天中午搭捷運回家的時候，在我家附近的捷運站內撿到了500大洋，當時我還很猶豫到底要不要撿起來，還是乾脆當做沒看到，走過去就好，想了一會之後，還是把錢撿了起來，拿去出口另外一頭的服務櫃檯。結果，沒想到還要填一張「遺失物登記單」 =.=||　我還以為只要拿給服務人員就可以走人了....

結果那個工作人員就告訴我，他們會把錢送到台北車站的遺失物認領中心去，如果六個月之後還沒有人去認領的話，就會通知我去領取那500大洋，ㄜ，我比較好奇的是，掉了那500大洋的人還要專程跑去台北車站那邊領取，感覺好像有點麻煩，為啥不能在原本的捷運站認領就好？　@@　另外一個就是，萬一有人要去認領，那又該怎麼證明那些錢就是他本人掉的呢？

anyway，我只是沒有想到原來拾金不昧還有點小麻煩　XD　

講到這個，就突然想到以前國小的時候，如果有學生撿到錢，拿去交給學校或是老師的話，學校就會在朝會的時候頒發「拾金不昧」的獎狀給撿到錢的學生，結果，那時候就有同學很天，故意跟爸媽多拿一點錢，然後拿去給老師，說那些錢是他撿到的　=.=||　真不知道該說啥，要說他呆還是傻呢？竟然小小年紀就學會沽名釣譽，拿自己爸媽辛苦賺來的錢去換取一張獎狀　@@　如果他爸媽知道這件事情的話，應該也很無言吧。

Movie：Fast and Furious（玩命關頭4）

　　　　　　　　　
中文片名：玩命關頭4
英文片名：Fast and Furious
上映日期：2009/04/17
導　　演：林詣彬
Cast：Vin Diesel（馮迪索）、Paul Walker（保羅沃克）、Michelle Rodriguez（蜜雪兒羅卓奎茲）、Jordana Brewster（裘丹娜布魯斯特）

中文預告片：
　　　　　　

劇情簡介：
《玩命關頭》系列電影，台灣籍導演林詣彬再執導演筒，保羅沃克和馮迪索八年後再度合作，美國影史上4月份開片票房冠軍，美國首周週末票房7千3百萬美元。

延續上集的電影劇情，歷經L.A.、邁阿密、東京，這次回到了洛城街頭，不清場競速。馮迪索飾演的唐老大女友慘遭毒梟布洛格殺害，因而潛入布洛格陣營當運毒的運將；保羅沃克飾演的FBI幹員八年後重回崗位，欲揪出FBI長久以來的心頭大患布洛格老大。

美墨邊境沙漠藏有毒梟運貨的石穴隧道，本片最關鍵的飆車競速就在裡頭發生；好萊塢的特效依舊驚人，從片頭開始便驚心動魄，之後街頭不清場競速亦是如此，符合動作大片應有的規格。賽車競速場中的美女更是不可或缺，超短迷你裙褲混搭比基尼，讓男性觀眾眼花撩亂。肌肉男馮迪索飾演的唐和布洛格老大的女人，也有妹有意、郎無情的愛情橋段。

主角馮迪索這次也參與了製片過程，電影在多明尼加共和國、洛杉磯和墨西哥等取景，配合馮迪索有如「車神」般的技術，劇組動員多達250輛車款，設計了許多尬車的新花樣，希望讓車迷大飽眼福。

心得：
很久沒有到電影院看電影了，今天好不容易找到一個電影咖可以陪我一起去看，真是太感動了T_T。至於為什麼會挑《玩命關頭4》，嗯，其實也沒啥特別的原因，原本一開始我是不打算到電影院看這部片的，是因為看到這部電影的評價好像不錯，好雷推薦文好像蠻多的，於是就選了這部電影，不然其實我也不知道該選啥比較好，還好《玩命關頭4》真的還不錯，沒讓我失望。

片子一開始就是唐老大和他的同伴們大展身手的搶油橋段，還真的是蠻緊張熱血的，不過，沒有想到原來莉蒂（蜜雪兒羅卓奎茲飾演）只是配角，出場沒多久就掛了　Orz　其實，《玩命關頭4》裡面的女性角色幾乎都算是雞肋，只有點綴的作用，戲份都不算是太重，可是這種熱血的尬車片，少了辣妹好像又不太對勁，所以還是得為她們安插一些片段才行。就像反派老大身邊的女人，明明就很正，可惜就要演個花痴的角色，就讓我覺得很可惜，不過，也許她在未來的《玩命關頭5》當中還會出現也說不定吧。

總之，看完《玩命關頭4》之後才發現，原來這種電影在電影院裡面看跟在家裡用電視看的感覺真的差很多，臨場感和震撼力都有很大的不同，喜歡這種速度感十足的電影情節的人真的可以去電影院欣賞一下，真的還蠻不賴的。

2009 Geneva Motor Show

1.Aston Martin DBS Volante
　　　　

The DBS Volante is an undeniably elegant car. Aston Martin’s 16th convertible in 95 years is a 2+2 featuring two occasional rear seats. The soft-top option reduces weight by as much as 90 kilos and is as safe as a retractable hard roof thanks to an insular layer.

Design director Marek Reichman points to one crucial line on the surface of the DBS Volante which runs from the front of the bonnet, across the window graphic and onto the rear to form one continuous line.

‘It’s a very elegant flowing line,’ he muses, noting that in rear view it actually accentuates the hips, shoulder and the width of the car without making it look flat. It gives the car ‘a lot of tension’ he says, comparing it to a runner’s physique where ‘there is power’.

There is something very structured about the car’s muscularity which the designer says is very much part of the DBS formal language. ‘If it’s too masculine then it doesn’t always have the right element of beauty,’ he notes.

The car comes equipped with Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound DBS sound system with 13 speakers as standard. ‘The sound quality is unbelievable with the top open or closed,’ the designer promises.

Aston Martin DBS Volante, £169,000 tbc, available from June 2009

2.Aston Martin One-77
　　　　

Aston Martin finally revealed the exterior of the highly exclusive One-77 – the One stands for the price tag and the 77 for the number of units that will be produced.

Company boss Ulrich Bez has called it the ‘ultimate expression of Aston Martin’. Sitting alongside the subtle elegance of DBS Volante, the One-77 certainly looks the more self-assured of the company's current stable, but then this car is clearly about exclusivity, power and craftsmanship. The hand-made aluminium body hides a light carbon fibre chassis that houses a 7-litre V12 engine promising to produce some serious power.

The cars will be fine-tuned for each of the 77 customers. Aston Martin has historically focused on small volume exclusive cars like this and design director Marek Reichman believes it helps the marque stay relevant in the future. ‘Aston Martin is a quintessential British sports car maker and the One-77 is pure Aston Martin,’ says the designer.

‘The One-77 shows some ideas and thoughts on how our design language can evolve,’ he says, noting that for a company like Aston, change is more about evolution than revolution. The large, deep grille and low and wide stance make the car physically larger than either the DB9, DBS and V8 Vantage, yet the proportions are classic Aston Martin.

For now the interior is under wraps, although Aston Martin will unveil the complete car at the Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este, Italy, in late April. Customer deliveries are due to start in early 2010.

3.Ferrari 599XX
　　　　

The new 690bhp Ferrari 599XX is a showpiece for the Italian marque’s future technologies. It is essentially a track-focused version of the 599 GTB, designed for a small group of select customers who wish to experience how extreme a Ferrari can be.

Price to be confirmed

4.Italdesign Giugiaro Namir
　　　　

Italian coachbuilder Italdesign Giugiaro and engineering firm Frazer-Nash collaborated to build the Namir. Meaning 'tiger' in Arabic, this aggressively-styled concept sports car is powered by an innovative hybrid system that combines a rotary engine with four electric motors. Promising to consume no less than 60g/km of CO2, the Namir goes straight to the top of our fantasy wishlist.
www.italdesign.it

5.Infiniti Essence
　　　　

Essence is a green petrol-electric driven two-seater coupé concept from Nissan’s luxury arm, Infiniti. Showing a striking confidence in design direction for a brand that is relatively new to Europe, the Essence showcases where Infiniti intends to evolve in its newest market.

The car looks and feels premium. Group design director Shiro Nakamura talked emotively about form and character lines. He says many of the features including the shape of the grille, the rear lights as well as the body form, which has been inspired by waves, is very much part of Infiniti’s current design DNA. ‘In this car it is more enhancing, more symbolically expressed,’ he says, adding: ‘The window graphics is very unique and we will use this design theme throughout the Infiniti line.’

Nakamura says Infiniti intends to interpret aspects of older Japan. ‘On the middle of seats you have an impression of the Kimono,’ he notes. Inside the two colours -- black and purple –visually separate the driver from the passenger. ‘You are cocooned and surrounded by simplicity,’ he says.

Infiniti collaborated with Louis Vuitton on the Essence project; the luxury brand creating a clever luggage set that fits in neatly in the boot of the car. ‘They produce the bag, we the car,’ says Nakamura.

6.Koenigsegg Quant
　　　　

Quant is a four-seater electric concept car by Swedish firm Koenigsegg. The aerodynamically-design outer skin hides an electric motor stored in each wheel, which helps save on weight. Gullwing doors provide access to the interior, while swathes of solar panels from technology partner NLV Solar help keep the cabin cool.
www.Koenigsegg.com

7.Lagonda Concept
　　　　

It was never going to be easy re-launching a once-desirable marque and executives at Aston Martin were perhaps ready to face the firing squad as they revealed the direction they intend to take with the revived Lagonda brand.

The Lagonda Concept car goes boldly into an unpopular market segment. A 'luxury crossover,' the car is built in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, who provided the GL SUV platform. The decision behind the car is pretty simple; big and bulky, the new Lagonda is intended for markets and customers who want more go-anywhere ability than a relatively delicate Aston Martin sports car.

Design director Marek Reichman explains that his firm is a small volume maker of sports cars. Only around 5,000 units are made a year for as few as 30 countries. Therefore one of the main reasons for unveiling the Lagonda is that it will allow the marque to move into different markets, most crucially Russia, China, the Middle East and India. ‘It will also allow Aston Martin to remain a sports car brand,’ he says.

The four-seater concept certainly makes a statement, although Lagonda won’t have a production car on the road for another three years.
www.lagonda.com

8.Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4
　　　　

The new Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is the latest supercar from Sant’ Agata. It is a powerful machine thanks to a weight loss programme (lightweight bucket seats, Alcantara and carbon fibre trim) and a newly designed single exhaust pipe that promises to ‘perform the grand opera for 12 cylinders,’ as Lamborghini puts it poetically.
www.lamborghini.com

9.Spyker C8 Aileron
　　　　
　　　　

The C8 Aileron is the production version of Spyker’s second-generation sports car, the concept of which was unveiled at last year’s Geneva show. Spyker is a relatively young company, formed in 1999 to make exclusive premium sports cars (although it takes its name from a Dutch company originally founded in 1880). Founder and company boss Victor Muller notes that the new design was heavily inspired by the original marque’s aviation heritage, even the name, he says, pays tribute to this. ‘Aileron is the car which will turn the Spyker towards long-awaited profitability,’ he says.

Sales May 2009, Price around €190,000 (£173,000)

2009 Detroit Auto Show

1.Audi R8 V10
　　　　

The original R8 - one of favourite cars – isn't exactly a slouch, with near-perfect handling and a powerful mid-mounted V8 engine. Nevertheless, certain segments of the market are always desirous of a little more oomph. Since Audi haven't been known to scrimp in this department – just take a look at their fearsome RS series – the arrival of a V10 version was all but inevitable. The new car made its debut in Detroit, and aside from threatening to truly trounce the Porsche 911, the R8 V10 will also be snapping closely at the heels of its VW Group stablemate, the Lamborghini Gallardo. Thoughtfully, the Italians gave their sports car a mid-life makeover at the end of 2008 just to ensure it retains its prestige edge. We'd still take the Audi.
from £99,575
www.audi.com

2.Audi Sportback Concept
　　　　

Ironically, just as the Americans are starting to realise that big, brutish four-doors are nearing the end of the line, the European industry is seeing something of a revival of grand sedan style. The Audi Sportback is the newest entrant to the swooping roof club, distinguished from its near rivals thanks to the large rear hatchback. The concept is a handsome beast, and production Audis have an uncanny knack of being awfully close to the show cars, so we hold out a lot of hope for the new machine when it arrives as the all-new A7. Of course, Audi ensured the concept was as efficient as possible, thanks to a low emission diesel engine and a host of energy-saving tricks.
Audi A7, concept only for now

3.Bentley Continental GTC
　　　　

The Continental GT convertible is the last of Bentley's line-up to get the 'Speed' treatment, first rolled out on the Flying Spur limousine early last year. Like its stablemates, the GTC Speed is restyled inside and out, with a more monumental front to suit the vast 600bhp W12 engine within. Pushing their best-selling product into a high performance niche has worked well with the two other Speed models - all inspired by the 20s era racers that cemented the company's image as a purveyor of gentlemen's race cars. The GTC has always had a slightly more laid back character, however, and the promise of 195mph performance with the top down is somewhat academic for most owners. However, craft, comfort and build quality are all second to none, so perhaps you should just revel in this glorious symbol of the car-builder's art.

4.Cadillac Converj
　　　　

Perversely, while Lexus were lowering the aesthetic tone, it took Cadillac to step up to the mark and make a major visual impact. The Converj is GM's vision of a high-end eco-car, in that it takes an existing (or forthcoming) technology - in this case the 'Voltec' powerplant from the eagerly awaited Chevrolet Volt - and gives it a designer twist. Contemporary Cadillacs are a little too self-consciously angular for our tastes, but the Converj evolves this edgy design language into something approaching distinctive good looks. An electric Cadillac is an excellent idea, and this concept was a spark of hope for an otherwise gloomy industry.

5.Fisker Karma and Karma S Sunset
　　　　

As well as showing the world the first production ready Fisker Karma – the sleek plug-in hybrid four-door that looks set to banish the eco car's hairshirt image forever – the California-based company also revealed the Karma S Sunset concept, a two-door four-seat open air hybrid that manages to cram in a folding hard top into an admirably svelte body shape. Right now Fisker – run by Danish born Henrik Fisker a former Aston Martin Director of Design – seems able to do no wrong, and if the performance claims made for the Karma check out, it promises to be an unbeatable package. Compare it to the staid, ponderous and nostalgically styled saloons built by America's volume manufacturers, and one has to ask where exactly everyone else went so wrong. from $87,900

蔡依林：妥協

聽到這首歌，就想到了最近和朋友們聊到的種種以及過往的感情。一段感情當中，彼此一定都有某種程度上的妥協存在其中，也許是為了對方改變自己的生活作息、忍耐對方的壞習慣或是壞脾氣。總希望這樣的讓步或是改變可以讓感情走的更長更遠，或是奢望對方也能因為自己而改變，但往往換來的卻只是同樣的無限迴圈。就像歌詞當中所說的：「愛到妥協，到頭來還是無解。」

　　　　　　


作詞：Wonderful 作曲：阿沁 & Real Band

你總愛編織謊言 我負責配合表演
所有改變 只為了進入你的世界
這情節 重複了一百遍
才發現 是你的心太野

你劃定楚河漢界 我不能輕易犯規
所有時間 都是先給了你優先權
不自覺 愛到不敢冒險
成了你的傀儡 一年 兩年
才看見我有多狼狽

愛到妥協 到頭來還是無解
綁著你不讓你飛 歷史不斷重演 我好累
愛到妥協 也無法將故事再重寫
你已下最後通牒 我躲在我的世界

你劃定楚河漢界 我不能輕易犯規

愛到妥協 到頭來還是無解
綁著你不讓你飛 歷史不斷重演 我好累
愛到妥協 也無法將故事再重寫
你已下最後通牒 我躲在我的世界

你只是害怕一個人睡
我不想再為你掉淚
我了解 不會變
不再徘迴 開始自己的明天

愛到妥協 到頭來還是無解
綁著你不讓你飛 歷史不斷重演 我好累
愛到妥協 也無法將故事再重寫

Aston Martin One-77

　　　　

這次，Aston Martin又有大動作了，這家來自英國的超跑車廠打算推出這台Aston Martin One 77，售價是驚人的120萬英鎊（相當於168萬美金），對！你沒有看錯，就是168萬美金！而他們目前最貴的量產車DBS也不過26萬9千美金而已。

　　　　

既然Aston Martin敢開出這樣的價位，想必Aston Martin One 77必定有些驚人之處，Aston Martin One 77配置了一具由Cosworth調校的進化版6.0升V12自然進氣引擎，擁有超過700匹的強悍馬力，利用乾式油底殼讓引擎重心更低，全世界首度應用在市售車上的DSSV可調式懸吊、強化煞車，最後再套上一個來自賽車底盤界響噹噹的品牌：Multimatic（MTC）的全碳纖維底盤與六速序列式變速箱，從0~96Km/h只需3.5秒。

　　　　

不過，Aston Martin One 77的真正實力，還有待測試，也許等它跑完紐伯林北跑道之後，才能見識到它的威猛實力吧。只是，我懷疑一台造價如此高昂的超跑，真的能夠達到它預期的銷售量嗎？儘管Aston Martin One 77只量產77台。不過，世界上的好野人真的是太多了，說不定到時候還要排隊搶購也不一定，who knows？

一整個宇宙 換一顆紅豆
回憶如困獸 寂寞太久而漸漸溫柔
放開了拳頭 反而更自由

慢動作 繾綣膠捲 重播默片 定格一瞬間
我們在 告別的演唱會 說好不再見

你寫給我 我的第一首歌
你和我 十指緊扣 默寫前奏
可是那然後呢

還好我有 我這一首情歌
輕輕的 輕輕哼著 哭著笑著
我的 天長地久

長鏡頭 越拉越遠 越來越遠 事隔好幾年
我們在 懷念的演唱會 禮貌的吻別

陪我唱歌 清唱你的情歌
捨不得 短短副歌 心還熱著
也該告一段落

還好我有 我下一首情歌
生命宛如 靜靜的 相擁的河
永遠 天長地久

內容簡介：
《夜巡者》系列二部曲，俄國兩大科幻大家聯手出擊的超強之作！本書延續首部曲時空背景及人物，但敘事主角轉為黑暗界，從不同觀點來描繪這個世界，並挖掘善惡以外的第三選項。

首篇中，日巡隊的阿莉莎．東妮可娃，美豔動人，曾是日巡隊老大的愛人。她在一場戰役中傷重元氣盡失，必須到雅爾達的青少年夏令營休養，以便吸取小孩們的惡夢恢復黑暗法力。在那裡，她邂逅了年輕帥哥伊格爾，兩人一見鍾情墜入情網。不料，對方竟是自己不該愛的人，更沒想到，這場悲淒的愛情，只不過是一場大陰謀的揭幕式……

第二篇裡，場景拉回莫斯科，從烏克蘭搭火車至此的維塔利．羅戈扎，渾渾噩噩地走在大街上，依著內心深處的神祕導引莫名地成了黑暗界的超凡人，沒人知道這個法力高強而且越來越強的超凡人是怎麼蹦出來的，他無意中幫了黑暗界不少忙，最後在大審判法庭的介入下，才知道原來他是超乎光明與黑暗兩方意料之外的一個關鍵力量……

第三篇的背景移到了布拉格，歐洲大審判法庭的保險箱內保管的「法夫尼爾的指甲」失竊，它仍留有強大的黑暗法力，且足以改變光明與黑暗的均勢，因此兩個巡隊皆想攔截到這個法器。與此同時，光明界的安東與黑暗界的艾德加，分別代表雙方勢力擔任「阿莉莎．東妮可娃案」的辯護人而前往布拉格的大審判法庭，兩人亦敵亦友地分析「法夫尼爾的指甲案」與「阿莉莎．東妮可娃案」之間錯綜複雜的關係，最後竟理出一個詭譎難解的計中計……

心得：
距離我看完《夜巡者》也已經好幾年了，《日巡者》這本書也買來好久了，一直拖到最近才把這本書翻出來看，雖然兩本書的內容沒有非常高的相關性，但是有些主要的人物還是一直持續的在《日巡者》當中出現。

代表光明勢力的夜巡隊和黑暗勢力的日巡隊，兩者都為了能夠統一世界而彼此爭戰著，戰役就這樣持續了無數世紀，終究還是沒有哪一方獲得所謂的最終勝利。兩方的勢力總是輪流消長著，彷彿光明與黑暗的戰役永遠不可能停歇一般，就如同黑夜與白晝，總是交替的出現，彼此的依存著。

在《日巡者》當中，故事的觀點都是從黑暗一方的角度出發，阿莉莎．東妮可娃，日巡隊老大薩武龍的前愛人，原本以為自己還能重回他的懷抱，沒想到，最後竟然因為薩武龍的一個陰謀而成為犧牲品，儘管阿莉莎曾經犯過錯，但她還是為了日巡隊盡心盡力，導致在一場戰役當中耗損了所有的法力，差點喪命，薩武龍好心的送她到雅爾達的青少年夏令營休養，沒想到卻只是一個陰謀的起點。從這裡可以看出，黑暗勢力的一方，為了達成目的，可以不顧情份，犧牲隊員也在所不惜，即使對方曾是自己的情人也一樣。如此狠心的確也符合了我們對於「黑暗」一方的想像與詮釋。

然而，作者在書中所想要描述的「黑暗」一方卻不盡然是如此。作者認為的黑暗一方，只是依照自己的生存本能和欲望去行事，黑暗的一方既不鼓吹或煽動別人作惡，但也不會去阻止，跟大多數人所預想的並非完全相同。

每次看到作者在書中利用光明與黑暗雙方人員言語上的交鋒，進而表達出他所想要傳達的「光明」與「黑暗」；「正義」與「邪惡」時，就讓人覺得，其實書中有很多的對話是值得我們深思的地方，也許作者表達的並不一定是對或錯，但是起碼有一定的哲理在裡面。雖然這是部科幻小說，但某些內容的確是言之有物的，喜歡科幻小說的小說迷可以好好的品味一下來自俄羅斯大師的極品之作。

吼~~我要看更多啦...
