today,tuesday,yeah,that's when poor people go to see all the movies.

.as a die-hard fan of transformers,grew up watching nearly every episode

of transformers cartoon,i just couldn't express how happy i was when i first knew it would be in the movie half years ago,since then,i'd been counting down the days,it was like counting the days to my birthday even though i myself don't take it seriously,anyway,i was expecting the best day of this year

when i got there,there were already many people waiting in the queue,from the age and looks,i was pretty sure they were here for

the transformers,you could hear the words"optimus prime,megatron....big brother,wtf",its like when u are in the queue waiting to enter

a rock & roll concert,everyone's so excited and pumped up,chatting loudly and couldn't help shaking their heads like they were listening

to some heavy metal shits.we bought the 2 o clock shrek 3 ,and 4:20 transformers,yeah,pretty tight schedule,and giant popcorn and giant

coke.it's funny when they put large coke on the price board,you don't know how large they are,but when u actually got the coke and

popcorn,they were ridiculously huge,making us look extremely stupid and awkward,but looked around,many biggest loser candidates bought exactly the same combo,so i started to feel even sadder, thinking maybe i would look like them in ten years.shrek is one and half hour,pretty decent picture quality like always,

there's nothing real new and creative as the shrek 2 set the standard too high,sherk 3 sort of failing to entertain people the way sherk 2 did,but still worth

 the ticket,the frog king dying scene is pretty damn funny,later,when i rang justin,he felt exactly the same. after sherk 3,we went to the borders ,book store,to kill some times because it's still half an hour to go,i couldn't remember how many books or mags i bought in borders ,not many,less than ten,but i've been there countless times,normally just browsing around,randomly grab a book and read for several minutes,or take some books to the coffee shop(coffee shop is inside the bookstore,

so people can enjoy the coffee and books without buying the books),and sit there for about 2 hours,more than enough to finish 1 or 2 magazines or 20 pages of a book.30 mins had passed, we were on the way

to a much bigger theatre,around 5 times bigger than the previous one,and already half of the seats were taken when we entered,as we finally sat down the big screen were already starting

to show all the commercials and movie previews.none of those commericials were new,coz they'd been shown on tv before and i never had patient to carefully watch them,and always changed

the channel,but in the theatre,you can't do anything but sit there and pretend you enjoy or at least thinking about the meanings ,purpose of the commercial,and funny enough i sometime

found myself actually  enjoyed the commerials .i think not just me ,but everyone come 20 mins before the actual movie starts even though everyone knows

there will be 20 mins commercials and movie previews and conclusion is :size does matter,people like to watch anything as long as they are shown on a tremendous screen,and if they squeese 5 mins out and put some scientific knowledge,

or IQ quiz tips in it,everyone'd be much more clever and knowledgeable. enough of all the non sense,let's talk about the movie,well, the sound,and picture quality are all

top notch and special effects they used are probably the best ever,but after half hour's fighting scene,you sort of getting numb and sick of all those special effects,i just felt they overdid

it,and wasn't the megatron supposed to be a pistol and cannon,how the hell did he become a jet fighter,i guess the director combined the megatron and red-spider into this new

megatron,not very impressive,and optimus prime stole the thunders,and he looked just incrediblely great,i checked the wikipedia,they used over 10000 pieces to create the model of optimus primal,unbelieveable.

this got me thinking ,why did the director get all the credit when the animation team and technical team did most of the works,let's be honest,the plots of the movie are old and lame, and you can’t do a worse ending than this movie, two lead roles cuddled on the cliff, looks like they’re gonna live together happily ever after when other transformers stood there like idiots, I just can’t remember how many mega-hollywood movies end like this,  "the independent day" is much

better ,and even "terminator series" are better, but thanks to the special effects, and computer generated transformers, this movie will probably go down as one of the greatest movies and maybe a dynasty will start

from here,but director shouldn't get this much credit and praises.

after i walked out the theatre,all i could think about was some of the funny moments in the film,like when the sam's mother questioned his son asking if he is masturb..ting,

and the girl stole the data and went to her friends' house,and she got accused of invading the zen and quiet environment but turned out her friends were dancing with the loudly music.and movie didn't forget to

ridicule an indian guy who's working in the call centre,i think it's not just america,in austrlaia,we get to see lot of comedies making fun of indians on tv,poor indians. well,let me stop here,what is the next must-see movie

,don't know yet,but definitely not harry porter,maybe bourne's identity 3 ....

前几天看了一个澳洲当地的音乐搬奖晚会，本来不准备看的，主要原因一是我一直认为澳洲没有很好的
的音乐，JB-HIFI里面大多数都是美国，英国的东西。后来听说JOHM MAYER 要来，一下兴趣就来了，这个年轻人
被很多人称为eric clapton以后，最有希望将blues音乐，特别blue吉他音乐在主流pop市场延续下去的人，因为很多
大师级的人物都已经到了只有在小酒巴演出维持生计的地步了。我也是上次回国，在街上闲逛的时候买了一张DVD，当时也没指望什么,因为
纯熟是便宜，在澳洲这边到处都是他的东西，只是价格要翻10倍不止，不知道从什么时候开始，就有了是主流就不感冒的毛病，其实
这是满大的一个误区，起码john mayer 就是一个例子，他是个天才，他23岁写出的第一张专辑，就得了几项grammy，我当时是第一次听
就迷上了，也满震撼，一个这么年轻的孩子可以写成这样的音乐，而且他具有职业音乐人的技术可以在现场玩出很多即兴，使现场
的版本听起来更加过瘾。这次来澳洲，主要目的其实不是为了什么搬奖晚会，因为他的第三张专机刚出，正在全球做专机宣传的巡演，
这次随便参加一个搬奖。这次搬奖更象国内地方台做的演出，所谓的名人除了一些歌手因为，都是台里面的一些主持人，主要是
搞笑的主持人为主，其中ROVE算最有名的了，他被安排和john mayer一起出场，本来想开开玩笑，结果谁知还被john mayer捉弄了，
rove问john，“你写的your body is wonderland是大家都熟知的歌曲，你认为我的身体是wonderland么“，rove是个男的， 说实话，这是我听过的最恶心的几个不搞笑的笑话之一了，后来上myspace看了看，发现很多澳洲人也这样认为，看来rove这次是毁大了，结果JOHN还让他雪上加霜， 他反驳说” 我写的另外一首歌更适合你，’gravity“ 呵呵，我当时差点笑岔气了，因为rove本人个子不高，和john站在一起矮了不止一个头，rove后来也只能苦笑。 这次搬奖，其中半数的奖象都被一个叫wolfmother的乐队得了，乐队没有bass，一个键盘手更象是磕了药的混混，主唱兼吉他手，声音没有话说，有点模仿whitesnake，就是吉他，从头到尾就两三个和旋，拿着一把gibson满场飞，还玩出几个高难度的动作，音乐基本上没什么旋律，现场的灯光配合的还满好的，感觉比较火爆，结束了还模仿一些老牌金属的乐队一样，在台上砸东西，只是一点派头没有，看起来还是象一群磕药的人。
john mayer作为演出佳宾，为一个当地的歌手做了旋律吉他的伴奏，这也成了整场演出唯一真正意义上的吉他solo，可能音乐风格的原因，
john mayer演出的时候，全场的灯都黑了，只有他在聚光灯下，用黑色，掉了漆的fender弹了的一段水银泄底般的blues,这也和刚才那个拿崭新gibson的wolfmother 的吉他手产生了鲜明的对比，而且，相信他旁边那位澳洲的歌手也知道谁才是主角了，后来john mayer的论坛上面也有不少人对那个澳洲的歌手表示同情，谁要他和john mayer一起登场。
另外一个鲜明的对比是，当john mayer结束solo以后，他只是面无表情的看着偌大的体育场，和数万台下的观众，也许他知道这不是他要征服的地方，可能他的心还是在blues上，还是在小酒吧里，和那些真正懂他音乐的人，而他在eric clapton，bb king的演唱会上，他谦逊的
在后台看着自己的偶像演出，和他自己在blues酒吧演出结束后，他也会十分谦逊的答谢台下不多的观众，表现的十分humble。他自己的第三张专机，用他自己的话说，是他写给一直支持的广大歌迷的，并不是自己真正追求的东西，不过不可否认的是，
，其中还是加入了大量的blues元素，和他前两张专机比的话。 他说等他做完了宣传以后， 然后他会消失一段时间，去做自己的音乐，和自己的blues 乐队，john mayer trio，
谁知道呢，希望他真能象很多人预言那样，把blues音乐重新搬回主流市场。

john mayer blog 的一篇文章,写的还满有意思.

 

I've been thinking about something lately.

Imagine this:

You're on an airplane, sleeping with your head against the window, your heart set on being home this time three hours from now. All of a sudden, something goes very wrong. The plane stops moving across the air and instead starts falling through it. The lights are flickering and the movie is skipping. The plane dips hundreds of feet in seconds, and the yellow cups fall from the ceiling. They're a brighter shade of yellow than you remember, because unlike the demonstration, these cups have never been handled before. "Flight attendants take your seats now", you hear, the pilot's voice trembling over a cacophony of alert tones. You get that smell in the bridge of your nose like you've just been hit with a football. That's what the fear smells like. The plane is going down.

Four more drastic drops in under a minute. People are crying. For all the folklore about how your life flashes before your eyes, you're remarkably fixed on one vision - your parents. They're sleeping at this very moment, in a bedroom so quiet they can hear the clock in the kitchen. And you can see them, clear as can be. You wish you could see a playground or a first kiss, but all you can see is your parents sleeping. Huh. Well, that's that.

Several long minutes go by. Then, all at once, the lights come back on and the plane somehow rights itself. Some people cheer, but most people cry harder. The plane lands about an hour later, and as soon as you feel that touch down - hell, even when you were within 50 feet of the ground and could still technically survive a fall - you realize that however you brokered the deal between you and God worked; you've just been granted life in overtime.

Here's the question: what do you change? Whom do you call that you haven't spoken to in years? Whom do you realize has been toxic to your heart and drop with surprising ease? What trips do you cancel, and what trips do you book? What can't you be bothered with anymore? What's the new you like?

Think about that, and then ask one more question. Why not just change it all right now

BUSH "翻唱" U2 的sunday bloody  sunday

 

如果有人没有听过这首U2的经典反战歌曲

这里是他们一个早期的版本,非常cool

 

 

 

G3 12月要过来, 不知为什么更人说的时候都喜欢说成3G, 昨天去买票,心想早上9点开始卖票,加之这里的人感觉上也不会很疯狂,下午一点种去买的时候还琢磨着这次一定可以买个前面的位置. 哪里知道,下面所有的位置都买完了， 只有楼上10排以后的了,昏死. 怎么办呢,低估了民众的积极性. 不过票到手了,要是完一天估计只有上ebay买黄牛票的下场了,这次还是vai 和joe,加上梦剧院的吉他手john　petrucci,和在日本东京的那个阵容是一样的,应该会比较爽. 不过心中的G3 :ＡＮＤＹ　ＴＩＭＭＯＮＳ　，　ＥＲＩＣ　ＪＯＨＮＳＯＮ　，　ＶＩＮＮＩＥ　ＭＯＯＲＥ

这个夏天值得期待了，１１月的yngwie　malmsteen，　１２月的Ｇ３　．

from gao xiao song

got a new phone yesterday , nokia 6280 ,it has got all the features that i have been looking for ,2 M camera,J2ME java applications , nice menu,etc. i wasn't gonna buy it yesterday , i was just

asked to go browsing with justin in 3G shop, but the moment i saw the new v3x ,and nokia 6280 , man , you just can't resist these two handsets , they look so cute. justin bought this model as well , i can tell how excited he was when he found out so many great functions and features that 6280 delivers. the most sweetest story is the price ,14/month,hehe , there are so many shit phones in marktet require 30 or more per month ,which makes this one so cheap.

 it's been more than 3 years for me  to finally start using my favourite mobile brand -nokia again, cool.

昨天意气风发的在city里面跑了一下午,汇丰-咖啡店-学校-移民局.先去银行,看见黑刷刷一排人在前面等着,没有一个不是在无聊的发呆,哎,看起来他们是等了有一阵子了,上面的号码是37,而我手中的号码是58,呵呵,先去咖啡店坐坐.进去买了杯咖啡,发现以前香港小吃店里那位小个MM跑到这里来做了,不错,有上进心,薪水应该涨了不少,但是那个原来马来西亚的鼓眼睛姐姐去了哪里呢,疑惑中.然后看了半个小时报纸,再回去看,号码变成了39, 要向这样的速度,可能晚上十点会轮到我,不行,银行是萎了.

马不停蹄去了学校17楼,BIT的reception, 着不是那个马来西亚的姐姐么,她怎么跑到这来了,不错,人往高处走么,但是原来这里的老太太去哪里了呢,不知道怎么的,我第一个想到的是那个香港小吃店,我一定是傻了,不行,咖啡喝多了.

更他说了半天,就是想让他看着我是原来老去买咖啡的份上,给我把资料什么的快点递上去,结果谁知道她象不认识我一样,而且慢腾腾的,以前那股子麻利劲不知道去哪里了,我心想,不就是换了一份工作么，不至于把脑子都换了吧,她让我回去等它电话,不知道是不是以前找工作萎了留下的后遗怔,听到这个话就象听到"快滚吧,SB,这里不需要你".

非常不爽的走出RMIT的大楼，然后垂头丧气的走下移民局,途中路过allan music,澳洲最大的乐器行,里面还是冷冷清清,只有几个PUNK再里面摇头晃脑的刷着power chords,里面的店员呆滞的看着街上,心理一定想,怎么来店里都是这些没钱,只会搞出噪音的混混.是啊,正经人不都上班去了，这个点.

到了移民局,松了一口气, 关门了,礼拜3一点半关门.不知道为什么我还觉得高兴,可能是不想看到长长的队伍,和一些装大爷的签证官吧.

4个小时一无所获,还搞的身心疲惫.哎~~

今天一早起来,打了几个相关的电话,就把事情到搞定了,用了不到十分钟,呵呵,爽啊~~

 

 

这两天天气好了很多,没有看到被晒得象黄金饼一样的街道和接近40度的天气了,人也开始有精神了,要出去办点事,要在家做做家务,要写写博克了.

房子里面两个最好的兄弟都不在了,一个因为国内的老婆来了,所以搬去了city,从此房子里面的人都很少连结完游戏了,另外一个刚走,不过再过几天就回来了,呵呵，我还等着你带回来比赛看呢,别只顾在国内到处吃喝玩乐啊。

今天打开电脑,梦游般的点进了radiohead的的文件夹,然后冲了一杯N浓的咖啡,又不小心撞到了高小松的blog,呵呵就这样非常舒服的过了两个小时.正在云里雾里的时候,突然想起来还要去汇丰办点事,然后去学校把续签的相关手续办了,还有....   姐夫,看这事办的,还是赶快出门吧.

 

 

在国内的时候,总有报道说什么国外36度就整个城市放假,可在澳洲这里,人们似乎更加欢迎酷热的天气,炙热的海滩上躺满了不怕得皮肤癌的鬼老们,大街小巷的人们都戴着墨镜,拿着7/11的冰渣饮料.城市里面搭起了马戏团才能看见的大秋千,professonals 在40度的太阳下作出一些高难度的动作让本来已经很兴奋的人们更加疯狂.

今天是澳大利亚日,公共假期,可能今天的又一个40度,会让奥网主办方有不得不将场外的比赛全部暂停,场内关上顶棚,开空调.记得上个礼拜天,42度,所有场外的比赛都临时取消,那写有票的人们不得不傻等到下午4点,真是可怜~~~.女双进决赛了,同屋的昨天冒着被晒成非洲人的危险去看了那场比赛,而且还拿到了签名,赞一个,不过他回来以后果然象身上涂了皮鞋油一样,让我想起了friends里面的Ross.

真是怀念在国内可以每天泡在空调房里面,只是每次出门的时候都象进烤箱一样.所以夏天,空调房里不易久呆,出点汗还是舒服一点撒.

 

前天对于一般的人们来说,可能是很平常的一天,对于众多的球迷来说,却是一生都不会忘记的一天,kobe得到了匪夷所思的81分,nba的官方网站想让众多的民众了解81分是什么概念,他们列出了几个例子,1 今年在不到一半的常规赛里,有99场比赛出现了低于81分的情况, 2 去年的NBA总冠军马刺在对活塞的两场比赛中都没有能超过81分,3 在有一年里,快船基本在4分之3 的比赛里面都没有得到超过81分. 人们不愿意相信一个人可以击败一直球队,但在这一天里,kobe用自己超人的能力向人们展示了这个奇迹,他在下半场拿下55分,而整个猛龙只有44分,对方求队的队员说自己象在做梦一样,到后来他们都忘记了自己在比赛,只是无助的看着 kobe一次次无情的将求送进篮筐.历史虽然没有被改写,因为62年的那一场比赛,张伯伦的100分是后人无法超越的,但在很多人眼里,kobe的81分的含金量已经超越了当时的100分。

jordan 说过,对于外线队员来说,得分所消耗的体力,已经得分的难度都要比中锋在内线得分要高,而在62年的时候,张伯伦凭借2.18的身高,足以苗杀一些不到2米的小个中锋.

在这个礼拜一,美国时间礼拜天的晚上,原来所有的美国媒体都在关注NFL的总决赛,但kobe把一场普通的常规赛变成了全世界都为之震惊的个人show.

81分,我相信在我有生之年,再不会被人超越.

 

附带小新闻:

小头养的2只巨型蜘蛛中一小的一只已经被大干掉,小头现在每天还在积极的寻找小的蜘蛛,和虫子来喂养那只huntsman.

这个礼拜没什么事,看了两部电影

king kong 比我想的要好很多,起码特技也值了门票钱.除了片子过于想突出女主人公和king kong的爱情,但那大家伙也干了不少让人厌恶的事,所以该人感觉很郁闷.jack black 不适合演这种片子.

the legend of zorro , 情节单调无聊,场面老土,演员其实还是很不错,但没什么看头.

 

van halen 的jump 依然是那么有感染力.

 

 

www.dramagods.com是nuno bettencourt的新乐队, 他是极端的主音吉他手,自从上次去了他的现场以后片成了他的fans.只可惜在澳洲, 这个鸟不拉屎的地方,没有什么大的影响.

this is first time for me to put some words in here since this space been created three months

ago,part of the reasons was i didn't really play this space thing a lot , but i do enjoy watching my friends' spaces , what an unfair thing was that ! he he . today , i was forced to wait in the lab until the rain stops  , justin just called me , and we had a nice all-about-NBA phone talk , he has been so into  the statistics of the nba players ,   he even perfers to watch the online game broadcast(only the words and figures shown on the screen)  instead of the real tv broadcast , what a cute boy . btw, hope he can get a good co-op job .

i don't know if any one else suffer the same pains as i do , cough , running nose ,itched eyes, headache , hayfever, that bad boy is no joke at all , i heard that once you have that  , you are expected to suffer that shit every f==kin year , and no medicine can completely get rid of it from you ,what a good news ~~

plus , jia kai , meng da have been in another country for quite a while ,i don't get any news from them ,maybe they are busy studying , working , just like they didn't get much from me two years ago , maybe we have grown up a little bit , don't like to share every story that happend around us with our friends . but we know , we have those  friendship deep inside our hearts , just like i came back to wuhan this year , we met ,we had drinks ,talks,and i felt like i had never left , even it's  two yeas been away from my hometown .

after more than 5 months' wait, nba is finally back , and my life is complete again, hehe,just kidding ,but it's been my habbit  during the nba season to read the recap of every single games , since houston rocket was up to the hype that stayed around them , this year , the expectation just could not be higher , T-mc is our for 3 weeks , they are 1-2 now , hope swift can shoulder some pressure  , so yao can put more energy in the paint ,i guess they would go further into second round of the postseason, as long as T-mac and yao play team game instead of individual game , they will be a great team .

that's for today.

watch this , nuno's new project "dramagods" is coming out.
