Bits and Bobs III.


在很早以前有提及Reign Over Me這部電影.

在阿姨浴室的門上一直挂著個小skeleton鈅匙釦. 等長大後才發現, 它就是The Nightmare Before Christmas中的Jack.

Paris, je t'aime. 當時需要些碎銀... 但也算是想看的.


It was some times during September or early October, the moment I saw his exhibition at Alison Jacques I immediately fell in love with it.

Moonmilk, eventually.

As a lot of you may be awared that, Milan Menswear Fall/Winter 2010 is currently taking place at umm, yeah Milan. Not that I'm particularly interested in any of those designers but hmm, Pringle of Scotland was actually quite a surprise, what's better, Mr. McGinley had teamed with Tilda Swinton, one of my favourite actresses (She was absolutely stunning wearing Haider Ackermann's at Cannes last year.) on a short film to do the ad campaign for the brand.

Beautiful images, beautiful terrain, beautiful Tilda.


The new +J Spring/Summer collection is here, people buy buy buy.


Finally, this book that was published 10 years ago has finally landed. A special thank you goes out to the missus, and of course, Sophia's ex-boyfriend, a very kind man indeed, thanks again for bringing it all the way from the United States.

Urban culture has always been a big part of me, as a person, and I used to love Banksy's work. These days, I don't know, the charm and mystery is gone once the veil is lifted I guess.

If there's one exhibition you ought to go, this would be the one. "Less, but better."

Meanwhile, Jun Takahashi presented homage to the designer. The new collection from Undercover is not to be missed. A magazine providing an insight to the inspiration and background of the collection has also been released. Get your copy here.


The final chapter of the trilogy.


Connection.


幸好雪已不再下, 兩件單薄外套, 冬天就這么過去了.

誠意推薦, 味道很好 (笑).


全球大熱. 不多說了, 沒看的趕緊吧.


Borderlands -- 遊戲前期還是很吸引人的, 越往後越無聊, 缺少了點趣味性.


近期另外的一個熱門話題, Google.

在別人的地方, 尊重別人的遊戲規則, 再正常不過. 跑到別人家門前撒野還打着大旗屁話一堆, 得了吧. 可悲的是一幫二蛋憤青還傻不拉唧的喊著支持口號, 媽呀, 早點睡吧.

Bits and Bobs II.



在實體雜誌上的選購逐漸變的謹慎. 最近在讀的除了Monocle和一貫都會翻閱的Wallpaper*, 其他基本上沒了, 還要感謝友人一年的訂購.

The news are all so sad these days.


讀起來始終還是有些別扭, 但英文翻譯的版本實在是沒有辦法買下啊.


上野樹里與5個包包 -- 很可愛的上野啊. 只有5回, 不同的包包, 不同的故事, 非常有意思.

太陽與海的教室 -- 會翻出來看自然是因為北川 & 吉高. 一開始認為該劇就是熱血教師與問題學生的故事, 實際上, 它真的就是 (...). 往後有一部分卻相當催淚噢.


XO干貝醬炒飯有着落暸. 真的就很愛炒飯啊 (笑), 在上野的那部劇中出現了一道草莓牛乳炒飯 (雖說怎樣看都像是煉乳), 甚是有趣, 改天可以嘗試一下啊.


彷彿回到童年的一個晚上. 很棒的演出. 但真的聽不動了啊, 脖子都疼了.


好久都沒東西出現在這個category里了啊, all Ann Demeulemeester's and Rick Owens', with a touch of Number (N)ine; And the same old Eastpak X Raf Simons duffle bag.

All kinds of stuff have been popping up lately, and I do feel that I have all kinds of stuff to say, just like everyone else, desperate to be heard. But what the hell, thank you, and fuck you too, good night.

Bits and Bobs.


I have to thank a lot of my customers from all over the globe whom have given me the chance to experience some of these products.

I've always been curious of finding out how well does Uniqlo Heatech actually perfom ever since its release. No disappointments at all. And it's probably slightly too late to mention about the Uniqlo and Jil Sander collection, the +J. Typical Jil, clean, neat, and unlike most of the H&M-designer collaboration work in the past, the quality is outsanding given its affordable price. Nike is probably the name that would always pop up at the top of your head when it comes to sports wear, the 1948 store at Shoreditch itself is super dope and the Nike Sportswear apparel, especially the M-51 coat, one stunning piece.

Let the trilogy begins. I doubt I could ever get my hands on his second novel though.


兩部秋季日劇. 東京Dogs -- 幾位主要角色都很討喜.

Liar Game II -- 第2季. 与第一季相比, 戶田的妝感覺較濃了, 松田翔太繼續亂帥到無言以對..

兩集的片頭, 感謝Mayeveme:

第一集的沙發 vs. 第二集的鋼管.

09 Dec@O2 Academy Brixton. I'm not really a die-hard fan of Marilyn, but I guess it should be entertaining.


Bonus.

忘了在哪裏看到的了, 一開始好像會有點wtf, 但是一定要看完喏, 很酷.

Moved







I was once fortunate enough to see her performing live some time earlier, I couldn't really put it into words and I still can't.

Weak Heart

No stories, no plane crash, no dreams no visions.


記得是01, 2年左右剛上映時在戲院內觀看的. 什么都沒看懂當時. 前些天找出架子上的光碟又看了一遍, 然后就后悔了. 近日精神狀況不太好. 不喜歡Tom Cruise, 始終覺得他為人很二蛋, 對事不對人, 電影本身很不錯, 演員們也都很出色.

H&M与各設計師一系列的聯名, 到RochasOlivier Theyskens, 延伸至稍早的Helmut Lang, Jil SanderPrada, 再讀到"流行", "明星", 還有"商人", 一直讀一直納悶, I know it's a money-driven world, some worship material culture and there are some who despise it, okay that's fair, we all value things in our own way and we've got to respect that, right? But what really took me by surprise is that the word, "taste", simply, just doesn't seem to occur, to mean, anything, anymore, at all, to some, of those people, the more I looked in depth the more confusion I got, I was already confused enough, so I didn't want to continue to make myself even more confused so I stopped (Oh that rhymed), and then I picked this, Donnie Darko, out of all the ones that were on the list. 不用等到插曲Mad World (by Michael Andrews) 開始播放, 又再一次地后悔了.

有兩個原因, 不是后悔的原因: 演員的陣容. 包括Jena Malone, 以及近幾年都有份參與了不少電影演出Gyllenhaal姐弟, Rendition, Zodiac, The Dark Knight, 當然, 還有Brokeback Mountain (雖然一直都還是沒有看..).

然后就是, 電影poster那隻奇形怪狀的東西.

具體忘了是年幼時的哪一年, 但清晰記得在某個下午自己一個人站在露臺對着夕陽發呆 (沒有什么romance或melancholy的因素在, 西斜樓, 僅此而已), 接着回頭轉身第一眼看到了一隻類似的玩意站在身旁, 若果說海報上的那隻是兔子, 自己看到的那隻應該可以算是山羊, 頭上也有兩支角, 身材沒有很高大, 可惜的是那隻東西在以后的日子里好像也從來沒有蒲過頭, 更不用提watch over me, 就只能當自己看錯, 揉揉眼睛, 過去就沒了.

在情緒不太好的時候, 不推薦看, 只有越看越差. 說起后悔, 這段時間, 除了我自己, 還有不只一個人叫我不要后悔, 這類嗆聲往往都能達到一個很好的目的, 就是把原本也屬于自己的責任都卸得一幹二凈了. 但是, 我要后悔什么呢到底?


忘了是誰, 說時間是很吊詭的東西. 大家都指望隨着時間的流逝就能衝淡或者治癒一切, 對我們這些基本宮的來說, 這幾乎是不可能, 所以整天就想很多, 有事沒事就在想, 情緒也就在纍積, 其實很可憐.

分別在是今年三個不同的時間段內購入的讀物, 幾週前村上After Dark, 8月底朱天文巫言 (順帶提起一下東妮這個人, 嗯, 某些程度上她對我是有一定影響的, 可惜現在影子都沒了. Amen一下), 還有2月左右王小波 沉默的大多數.


Damien Rice -- 0 & 9.

Lisa Hannigan -- Sea Sew.

Lewis & Clarke -- Blasts of Holy Birth.

Clubbing跳舞要high歌, 一幫人吹水有酒不能無菸, 失戀時的男女也是傷心情歌點到爆, 彷彿這些歌就是寫給其本人一樣, 句句到肉, 怎麼唱怎麼傷, 越唱 越傷.

本來一直都以為自己的心臟算強, 但看來真的誤會自己了. 一個人, 還滿累的.

Where is my psychiatrist?

Nowhere Boy

Control, I'm Not There, and now...

9th of October, that's where we begin :)
