維納思捕蠅草之悲慘結局
早上在客廳看電視時, 聽到陽台陣陣咕咕聲, 心想可愛的大自然動物又再次地來拜訪我們家,心裡一片溫馨, 眼中含著微笑地向陽台望去......
啊～～～～～～～～～～～～
可惡的死鳥居然在吃我們家的捕蠅草！！！！！
我急忙地趕走了臭鳥, 但是我們家的捕蠅草的數個頭都已被吃掉。
也許是鳥要吃草中的昆蟲, 又懶的自己找, 我們家捕蠅草就像是快餐店吧! 提供新鮮的生菜夾肉包 （捕蠅草抓的蟲後合攏起來的頭真的像肉包）。
哎呦～

阿湯哥超級自戀狂
剛看完MI3, 老公很滿足, 我只有幾點想法
1. 湯拇先生超自戀, 個人特寫不斷
2. 湯拇先生大概覺得要有思想的人必須要用力想, 以致頭腦青筋暴露,我好想問他大了沒？
3. P.S.好膚慢先生一定覺得能踢湯拇先生兩腳,捶他幾拳就算在戲中死了也甘願。
4. MI III 就是加長 Alias 版。
5. Claire Dane 真是個妖精,Billy Crudup 碰到她後居然開始接演如此膚淺片。
6. Felicity 怎麼死狀難看成這樣。
7. Jonathan 是哪根筋不對, 從伍迪愛倫的男主角變成湯拇先生寫真集之配角。
8. 片尾以為湯先生想開了, 要在戲中死掉, 讓我小興奮了一下。
9. 教廷的廁所好豪華。

吃甜點吃的有點誇張
每週末, 我們都會去一家法國點心店, 吃他們的Croissant Monsieur。 現揉的 croissant 夾 ham 和swiss cheese 然後澆上bechamel sauce, 放到烤箱烤到cheese 都化在麵包中和ham合為一體, bechamel sauce 也被烤到表面焦黃吱吱響時, 服務生就趕忙地端上桌來。我每次都覺得好吃到要掉下眼淚。 不過最幸福的是吃完這麼好吃的早午餐後還有30幾種甜點可以選擇作為早午餐完美結尾 。
認識我的人都知道, 我對甜點有個遙不可及的夢想, 就是再吃一次多年前在波昂吃過的那個好吃到我腦袋都變為一團蛋糕的raspberry charlotte 蛋糕。而見過我老公的人都知道他是個巧克力甜點狂, 可以從早起就吃巧克力蛋糕到晚上上床前再吃個巧克力糖。所以發現這家小店居然做出我心目中念念不忘的charlotte 蛋糕和合我老公脾胃的各式巧克力點心, 我們真是欣喜若狂！
這個小店的甜點是那種甜度到妳整個吃光光也不覺得膩, 味道質感好到吃到嘴裡就感覺的到它的細緻, 和水果的芬芳。上等巧克力做出來的Royal Chocolate 和新鮮橘子infused 的chocolate grand marnier 真是好吃到舌頭都要吞下去。還有它們的水果塔, 蘋果派的派皮真是酥脆但不鬆散....... 總而言之, 這個天賜的小店居然在這貧瘠的南部做出質感一流價錢三流的甜點真是讓我和我老公感動的淚涕直流。
所以每次去都連吃帶拿, 吃的時候就焦躁的怕點心給人吃光了, 沒辦法多買帶回家。
這個禮拜我們是創紀錄了。
吃午餐前就和相熟的服務生（在法國生的越南人超愛足球賽, 長得一點也不像越南人, 是個在美當交換學生在讀社會學的有氣質小男生）
說好留6個charlotte 4個royal chocolate 一個檸檬派 一個蘋果派, 兩個 Chocolate grand marnier
他一邊寫一邊竊笑 問都要帶走嗎? 哪一個要在這吃？
我和老公對看一眼說 對都帶走的 在這裡我們要吃tropical paradise（百香果和芒果蛋糕）和 Praline （hazelnut 和toffe蛋糕）
付帳時看到有點誇張的價錢, 我喃喃自語的說.... 我們好像買的過火了一點, 我老公看著我說, 等妳餓得時候妳就希望當時買更多個。
距離買甜點回到家還不到24小時, 我就已經吞了2個charlotte和半個royal chocolate 而且已經開始擔心甜點吃完時要如何熬到下禮拜才能再吃到了。

To Be and To Have
一部很感人的紀錄片, 記述著法國南部只擁有一個教室的小學校, 3歲到11歲的小孩在同一個老師的教導下學習數數, 文法, 烹飪。導師 Lopez 是個輕聲輕語, 有耐心, 慢慢引導小孩的好老師。
電影中, 我們特別喜歡 JoJo, 一個愛引人注意, 無法專心的小孩。
這是為什麼呢？

維納思蒼蠅捉
Venus Fly Trap
維納思是招誰惹誰啦？ 為什麼愛與美女神的名字和蒼蠅連在一起啊！
今天頭痛所以去植物園小散步了一會兒, 反正是會員一年入園不用錢, 所以想到就拼命去, 要值回會員價嘛～
逛逛逛逛了花園, 到了園內的店裡, 想買蘭花, 可是要40元, 所以精打細算下的結果是買了隔壁4元的蒼蠅捉。
觀賞兼除蟲又能滿足本人殘酷的天性 （蒼蠅是會怎麼地被植物吃掉啊！！ 好興奮好想看喔！）
所以回來就把蒼蠅捉擺好最佳戰略位置, 哈哈哈, 蒼蠅們 Watch Out!!

海龍！
Weedy Sea Dragon
Leafy Sea Dragon
去號稱世界最大的水族館玩, 看到鮮豔美麗的熱帶魚, 像嬰兒一樣的 Beluga 鯨, 奇異又迷人的水母, 還有這種怪生物, 海龍！
有點想變成素食者, 嗯.. 至少我絕不吃海蜇皮了。

悶熱的三月天
才三月蟬就在孜孜叫
南部的夏天真是到的快
聽歐洲朋友說那裡整天下雨 溼搭搭 冷陰陰
真慶幸自己身在美國南部

太陽眼鏡 短袖衫 短裙 涼鞋
不敢想再過幾個月是否會熱到受不了
參加了植物園全年會員
植物園內的圖書館冷氣足 椅子舒服
看書累了還可以去雨林 沙漠 蘭花區走走
好耶～

李安效應狂想曲
（一）
老婆:[已經一年了你要不要試著投一些履歷表？]
老公:[就是妳這種不支持老公的女人我才會變這樣！ 妳看看人家李安在家窩六年他老婆還是默默支持。 妳勒？]
老婆:[可是人家李安在家還不是有帶小孩, 煮飯, 做家事, 你每天在家就是抽煙發呆, 看電視, 家裡小孩通不管！]
老公:[妳懂什麼啊！ 人家李安是搞電影的, 我是要做純藝術的, 做純藝術要有靈感, 妳叫我做那些事我的靈感就變濁了, 那還搞什麼藝術啊！]
老婆:[你只不過是有一次拿起你女兒的畫筆起來畫了隻狗, 這樣就成為藝術家囉？]
老公:[哎～ 不懂就不要問！ 我就倒楣娶了妳這種老婆！] 轉身點煙看電視。
老婆默默私底下:[∥＠＃（＄＊）＊！＃!!!]
(二)
男:[我告訴妳, 我是個有才華的人, 只是我那俗氣老闆不了解我。妳看看李安, 那麼有才華的人那時也找不到工作待在家裡, 但是現在還不是出頭了！是李安讓我醒悟, 我才把工作辭了。從現在起我要專心做我的創作。]
女友:[那你欠的卡債和你的生活費怎麼辦？]
男:[妳看奧斯卡看到李安得獎時和他老婆擁抱時不是感動的哭了, 我現在給妳個機會做我身後的女人, 以後我成名了, 我會感激妳一輩子。]
女友:[你要我養你？]
男:[哎～ 別說的這麼難聽, 是支持我！Support 啦！]
女:[可是我們交往才一個月！]
男:[妳要是瞎眼不識我的才華, 我也沒辦法, 以後妳不要後悔！]
女:[＠＃＄（＊＠！＃＆＆＆↑＊↑！！！！！] 轉身就走。
（三）
同一男:[我以前的女友就是沒有藝術氣質, 太物質, 太現實了。對了, 妳有沒有看奧斯卡轉播？]
小女生:[有。]
男:[那妳就知道了, 我就是那沒發光發亮前的李安, 有才華可是碰不到伯樂。]
小女生崇拜的看著刁根煙留長髮的男人。
男:[我只要有機會就一定會成名！ 我相信我自己, 我希望妳也相信我！]
小女生小小聲 :【我相信。】
男:[那妳先幫我8,000元, 我發誓我一定會還妳的。]
小女生:[那我先給你一萬好了, 你晚一點還我沒關係, 我相信你一定會成功的！]
男:[妳錢包還有兩百也一起給我好了。]
小女生:[那是我要坐車用的...]
男:[走走路對身體好耶～ 妳最近吃太多有點胖了喔～]
以上三狂想曲獻給明明沒才華, 沒出息, 沒擔當, 只出一張嘴的男人們。
女生們, 精明點！

保守派贏了！
Crash 得奧斯卡獎。
種族問題和同性戀問題, 兩者取其輕。
大家不要錯愕, 要記住美國以前到現在都是保守國家。

Breaking no ground
Why 'Crash' won, why 'Brokeback' lost and how the academy chose to play it safe.
By Kenneth Turan, Times Staff Writer
March 5, 2006
Sometimes you win by losing, and nothing has proved what a powerful, taboo-breaking, necessary film "Brokeback Mountain" was more than its loss Sunday night to "Crash" in the Oscar best picture category.
Despite all the magazine covers it graced, despite all the red-state theaters it made good money in, despite (or maybe because of) all the jokes late-night talk show hosts made about it, you could not take the pulse of the industry without realizing that this film made a number of people distinctly uncomfortable.
More than any other of the nominated films, "Brokeback Mountain" was the one people told me they really didn't feel like seeing, didn't really get, didn't understand the fuss over. Did I really like it, they wanted to know. Yes, I really did.
In the privacy of the voting booth, as many political candidates who've led in polls only to lose elections have found out, people are free to act out the unspoken fears and unconscious prejudices that they would never breathe to another soul, or, likely, acknowledge to themselves. And at least this year, that acting out doomed "Brokeback Mountain."
For Hollywood, as a whole laundry list of people announced from the podium Sunday night and a lengthy montage of clips tried to emphasize, is a liberal place, a place that prides itself on its progressive agenda. If this were a year when voters had no other palatable options, they might have taken a deep breath and voted for "Brokeback." This year, however, "Crash" was poised to be the spoiler.
I do not for one minute question the sincerity and integrity of the people who made "Crash," and I do not question their commitment to wanting a more equal society. But I do question the film they've made. It may be true, as producer Cathy Schulman said in accepting the Oscar for best picture, that this was "one of the most breathtaking and stunning maverick years in American history," but "Crash" is not an example of that.
I don't care how much trouble "Crash" had getting financing or getting people on board, the reality of this film, the reason it won the best picture Oscar, is that it is, at its core, a standard Hollywood movie, as manipulative and unrealistic as the day is long. And something more.
For "Crash's" biggest asset is its ability to give people a carload of those standard Hollywood satisfactions but make them think they are seeing something groundbreaking and daring. It is, in some ways, a feel-good film about racism, a film you could see and feel like a better person, a film that could make you believe that you had done your moral duty and examined your soul when in fact you were just getting your buttons pushed and your preconceptions reconfirmed.
So for people who were discomfited by "Brokeback Mountain" but wanted to be able to look themselves in the mirror and feel like they were good, productive liberals, "Crash" provided the perfect safe harbor. They could vote for it in good conscience, vote for it and feel they had made a progressive move, vote for it and not feel that there was any stain on their liberal credentials for shunning what "Brokeback" had to offer. And that's exactly what they did.
"Brokeback," it is worth noting, was in some ways the tamest of the discomforting films available to Oscar voters in various categories. Steven Spielberg's "Munich"; the Palestinian Territories' "Paradise Now," one of the best foreign language nominees; and the documentary nominee "Darwin's Nightmare" offered scenarios that truly shook up people's normal ways of seeing the world. None of them won a thing.
Hollywood, of course, is under no obligation to be a progressive force in the world. It is in the business of entertainment, in the business of making the most dollars it can. Yes, on Oscar night, it likes to pat itself on the back for the good it does in the world, but as Sunday night's ceremony proved, it is easier to congratulate yourself for a job well done in the past than actually do that job in the present.

【那妳真是天下最幸福的貓了, 那以後我不是要喊妳公主殿下。】
【.... 哎呦～ 都是一家人, 還叫我ㄖㄨㄟㄖㄨㄟ就好了啦～】吐吐舌, 有點不好意思。
