最近,卻愛上了軟綿綿的法國 Brie:

薄薄的切數片來夾餅乾,便是週日的早餐。
不過,十多美元才一小塊,得小心一點,慢慢品嚐。

從日本買回來的咭片,在箱子中藏了三年後,今天終於把它們放進新買的相架,掛在廚房:

是不是很可愛?

自兩星期前看了高達的《Masculine Feminine》後,這首歌一直在腦裡不斷重播:
一「聽」到音樂,便想起電影中 Chantal Goya 那誘人的冷漠和高傲。但陰魂不散的旋律,在腦裡揮之不去,很是難受。
把心一橫,到網上買了 Goya 的唱片,實行以毒攻毒。希望一輪疲勞轟炸後,能把音符驅走。

在 The New Yorker 看到一篇側寫北京奧運的文章。最後的一段,我覺得頗有意思:
As I dined, one day, on a Big Mac in a thunderstorm, seeking and failing to find refuge in a packed McDonald’s beside the Olympic Green subway station, I heard the Olympic theme song, playing on a tape loop inside, and watched a Chinese teen-ager in the doorway. She sucked on her milkshake and then sang along, swaying; she was, at once, everything that the capitalist corporation could hope for, and everything that the Communist Party had planned. I tried to talk to her, but she spoke no English; besides, what young person wants to be asked if he or she feels free? What kind of question is that? I thought of the sign I had seen on the first full day of the Games, in the Forbidden City, as I headed back from the cycling. “Hall of Earthly Tranquillity,” it read, and then, at the bottom, in smaller letters, “Made Possible by the American Express Company.” One world. One dream.
(本來打算把它翻譯成中文,結果還是放棄了。)
輕描淡寫的一段文字,沒有評論,不帶立場,卻是一個意味深遠的剪影。
有時會覺得,中美之間的所謂爭執,不過是政客和新聞媒介刻意製造出來的幻象。

在公園拍到的藍天白雲:

很久沒見過這麼壯觀的一片雲。

《Elegy》裡的 Penelope,實在太美了:

電影節奏是慢了一點;但攝影優美,有 Ben Kinsley,有 Dennis Hopper,還有 Penelope 兩幕毫不忸怩,令人屏氣凝神的赤裸演出,夫復何求?

渾渾噩噩又過了一天。夏天,就這樣悄悄溜走了。
