Michael was knocking our car window when we were trying to park the car in the right place. I rolled the glass down and saw his friendly face smiling in the early summer’s sunshine. He said “I am not going to be here, so if you want the whole carport, that’s all right.” I gave [...]
Gong Bao chicken for the dinner again!!! This is the one I have made for no less than 30 times maybe. There has never got an accident so far. Even my fussy husband admitted that he has no reason picking on me about this dish. I just wonder why: does my cooking really get better? [...]
Chicken is not bad, but it’s not safe anymore to have. Duck is too fat; Pork is too smelly. Fish and prawn are too bloody expensive, especially in Canberra. As for beef, people believe Australia has got the best beef in the world, but I found there is too much blood in the fresh meat. [...]
I was so happy to take off my high heels after getting back to the office from an only 30 minutes shopping. The belts over my little toes were hurting me and left a terrible red mark on my right foot. Jesus Christ! This pair of shoes sucks too. Actually I do love it except [...]
I got up at 7am in this morning and just about to get into the kitchen to make some breakfast. Oops! My feet were like stepping into the cold water. I looked down to the floor…water is everywhere….the kitchen was like a small pond and the surface of water was shining under the lovely morning [...]
柴可夫斯基是我所知道的近代音乐史上最奇怪的混合体。他的作品可以发出最穿透灵魂的美妙旋律,也可以发出最难听的、让你恨不得捂上耳朵的声音。在他那颗奇怪 的脑袋里,装满了矛盾、冲突、单纯、世故和极端的不稳定。如果他生活在我们的这个时代,我相信他会开创一些极其另类的音乐风格,远远甚于说唱、摇滚、 R&B、重金属或其它我知道或不知道的流派;或许他也会干点吸毒、同性恋或自杀的事出来吧!事实上,他确实已经被他的那个时代的精神病学家怀疑有 精神方面的问题。虽然音乐家大多数精神上都不太稳定,不过关于他服毒自杀的传闻我是宁愿信其有的。对于他这样一位不寻常的音乐巨匠来说,常规的寿终正寝又 有什么特别的意义呢? 这首Chanson Triste,中文名译为《悲歌》是他众多擅长描绘心理活动的作品中不起眼的一首。使用了柴可夫斯基抒情作品中最常用的调性,但并不象题目那样呜呜咽咽, 而是让人感受到一种“斯人已逝”的无奈,充满了俄罗斯精神中令人窒息的宁静感,和一种寒冷却令人血液凝固的感动。
