My top 3 Ghibli Movie

这两天参加 giveaway contest而写的文章。好不容易抹出来，就贴在这里了。
写完这片文章发现自己是不适合写影评的，用英文更是弱得不行，很多内容用英文不知道如何表达，所以内容也是寒碜地很，痛苦。写得也很累，回想自己以前写open question的经历，用英文写东西依旧是不够熟练。以后有机会再练习了。


1,Laputa: Castle in the Sky
I could remember the words princess Anna said in Rome holiday when she was asked Which city did she enjoy the most.
Yes.There have been some memories I will cherish as long as I live. Then I'd give you one.

A spring morning, the teacher told us she'll take to see a movie today, We felt very happy, one by one, hand by hand, have a stride forward towards the cinema.It's a warm and sunny day, full of the smell of spring. When the theater curtain opened, the music roused, I was absorbed by the tremendous fantasy movie and the fabulous music, I didn't move as I had been nailed firmly in the seat. I was shocked and what I could do was to open each cell of my body to enjoy the moments I was in the movie.
The film is called "castle in the sky" and I was 7 years old that year. Now the memory is wrapped with a sunlight layer. And I call it as "golden memory".

In fact, I got the movie title after 6 years. During these year, I never stop my steps to find it and finally I got it.

At that time,the movie give me a impression that animation can be like this. It showed me another kind of world, real and hope full of sunshine. To such a little child, too many elements contained in this film. I've seen many movies in primary school, it is the only one still in my mind. Yes, to such a movie, I've devote in comparable love to it. That's one kind of incredible exchange between spirits. Furthermore, this movie changed my life. It confirm my style of enjoying movies and musics.

Even nowdays, the movie still transfer imagination to me constantly. I yearn towards sky and sometimes like a child. That's one wonderful experience that there always been something glitter in your heart.

2.Princess Mononoke
As a classical animation, the film should be listed in top ranks. And people waited for long time and they got "Princess Mononoke". There've been no doubt that it is a masterpiece. And Hayao Miyazaki got his peak in his director career. In addition, Joe Hisaishi's composed his one of his best film scores. And the cooperation of the two masters made this film one of the most successful one among Ghibli works.

Sometimes I think the plot in the movie is so complicated to judge. But one thing is clearly that each of friends put their thumbs up after seeing it. And they really got the movie theme. From this film, I started to learn the importance of our environment from my heart. And I came to know balance and harmony is the key that human being could live in the land together with other creatures.

The movie is a milestone which the simple relationship between good and evil like other common fairy tales. No one is outright evil, just like a real biosphere, any creature has its position in the world. They have right to survive. No life can live forever, when the balance was broken, even god would die. Of course, the movie describes multiple conflicts abound with humans against humans, humans against nature, and even nature against itself and it highlight the contradiction between mankind and nature. And it is the reality.

What impressed me deeply is the end of the film. When Ashitaka and San raised the head of the god, it reminded me the scene that Pazu and Sheeta extend their hands and say the spell. Instead the collapse of Laputa, the got release all the life it swallowed. It is an open end, everything came to the beginning. The director didn't give a clearly ending. But he gave us hope and light.


3.Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
It's another princess, but not like anyone you read in the book or see in the film.
To me, it's the most moving film of Ghibli movies. And Nausicaa, the girl of the valley of wind become the perfect in my mind. Not for her beauty, but for her kind and innocent mind and i her strong-willed, confident, and full of spirit.

Certainly, as the first heroine, Nausicaa embodies almost every nice personality of a woman. And the movie has good performances to state it. It is she who made the balance between human and Ohmu, the giant insect. And she manage to protect her homeland from pollution.

There are two scenes in the movie I can never forget. One is the scene that young Nausicaa wander in the golden field and in the BGM the girl's humming lalala. I like the golden film colour and the comfortable atmosphere created by the slow flow of time. It's a pure scene that human fully into the nature. And it shows that even in such a brave girl's heart there's still something tender.

Another scene is in the end when the legend became true that Nausicaa revived ,wearing blue standing in a golden field and got way lead the human race to a pure land. With the superb music, everything came back to harmony. At that time I moved into tears like the grannies in the film. I admire such a great human being the girl who could give her life to maintain the bond between humanity and the earth.
Nausicaa is my favourite femail role.

PS: I love movies by Ghibli Studio, for these movies are suitable for everyone to enjoy, young kids and adult, they are for anyone have good hopes and aspirations to the world.

大学这四年：考研 3/17更新

文章中使用皆为化名，但与真人也算有很大的关联

当我写着篇文章的时候，不少兄弟姐妹正坐在考场里尝试改变自己的命运。这个一点不假，我不知道考研每科3个小时的时间是不是最长的，但我肯定，两天四门的考量也算是考试国度“性价比”甚高的试。

什么是考研：
对于考研的巨细，和那些现在呆在考场上的同学相比我没有什么发言权。那我就省去这个内容部分，从其他方面来看待这个让多数高校生都要触及的最后的考试话题。

考研的难度不只是其巨大的复习量，更多是能够保持良好心态走完走各复习阶段。期间会有各种信息和其他人或事的干扰，有好有坏，但这些信息都会造成考研的中断。事实上，的确如前人所言，许多人看了几天书觉得困难放弃了，有的人找到了工作放弃了，快考试的一两个月逃兵最多，我们班上领了准考证最后踏入考场的不到一半。

考研和其他大型或者重要的考试共同特点是他们都对于心态有不小的要求，不仅指考场上的心态，更多的是指在从决定考研到考试的这段时间的心理状态调整。考研和其他大型考试的不同就是没有一个标准，对于自己状态的确定是个及其难言和估算的变量。很多人在复习了很久也不知道自己到底复习得怎样。这种可怕的不确定性对于每个人都是有影响的，正确调整的必要条件是要具有一定自信心，当然你稳固的知识基础和有条不紊的复习是自信心的保证和前提（这一点很重要，即使是无心这样自信过度膨胀到令人不可思议的家伙也在口头和行动上都最终不得不服而放弃了）。毅力自然也不可少，好逸恶劳，对于考研抱着如平时考试那样的幻想最终也会折掉的。还有各方因素，和高考算是有的一拼，只是个人素质的影响占到了很大比重，完全靠自己，成是你的成功，败是你的失败。

考研的大环境
大四的课，考研的学生基本都不会去上。当然他们总是能在老师点名的时候适时出现。考研的学生没有节假日，没有双休日，他们每天 一抬头就能看到还剩下**天的标题，当然经过几十日或者上百日也就熟视无睹了。因为长期长时间（很多人早上八点到教室，晚十一点回，每天在教室时间超过十 三小时，最少的也有八小时）待在自习教室，所以基本日用品都带过来了，台灯，水瓶，吃的，用的，样样俱全。我们学校没有通宵教室，本部的图书馆不大，所以 学校的诸多非常用教室都被开辟成考研专用教室，氛围之浓，在周围高校中入围前列毋庸置疑。像下图这样的情况在我们学校并非个例：

目的
我无法调查所有的可能性,但大约的几种是可以知道并陈述的。

1，科研
一 者指的是以后去国内外研究所或高校的纯粹研究。真的决定要走这条路的人，我身边没有这样的例子，事实上是有的。现在的社会发展已经打破了科学家的限制，因 为本着“以人为本”的理念，大企业的科研部门走在行业的前列，甚至具有在该领域的最高科技成果，所以能够去那些企业工作也是在做一种科研，但好的企业需要 更高素质的人才，所以读研甚至读博都是必须的，有时候看，这和第三条很是相似。

2, 逃避
逃避什么呢？就业压力，自从我们的教育制度被某些别有用心的人进行了 “改革”之后无时不被人提及，竞争和残酷之类的词也变得更加深入人心。过去几年的扩召在这些年的问题已然暴露无遗，加上社会岗位也不像过去那么紧缺，虽然 一些行业在不断膨胀，但对于应届生的需求远远不能满足，现在对于毕业等于失业的言论社会也有不少的认同感了。所以考研成为避开就业高峰的一个手段，只是将 来的环境和情况也是不清不楚。
另一种逃避或许是想逃避责任，对于社会的责任，对于自己的责任，还有各种作为社会人所要承担的责任，他们中不少是作为学生很优秀的那种。我老师告诉我，他的同学，不断得考研，考博……，只是因为不喜欢工作后需要每天早起，想来也真是夸张。

3，上位
本科的知识是不够的，这个认知是没有问题的。于是现在许多单位都将最低标准抬高，也就是不要本科，至少研究生，于是为了能够去理想的工作地点，很多人认为在学校里再待两年也没什么。这样让自己将来能选择的范围能更广一些。
另 一种地目的是一样的，就是积累更多的优势。我的许多同学在本科期间就有不少项目和设计经验，他们不满足于是考研，希望能在研究生期间参与到更多的项目和研 究中去，这样几年后他们可以在大公司里轻松上手参与研发或者其他，或许未必能进入行业最顶尖的企业，但他们手指苍穹，目标无比明确。

大致的分类是这三种，其他原因还是有不少的，更多的人可能综合了很多因素于一身。

我要考研
大三上快结束，也就是去年的这个时候，关于考研的信息纷至沓来，到下半学期，关于考研的争论算是最热闹当时的流行语是“你考不考研啊？”。我周围的许多同学都喊出了立志考研的口号，当然在众人面前还是保持应有的低调。此时的各类考研辅导班也是如火如荼，大家报名也十分带劲，给人的感觉是：报了考研班就算是考研了，也就有很大的把握考上了。考研的各种班形形色色，在校园里招贴的广告也是抬头不见低头见，见缝插针到每一个角落，估计很多有些想法的人每天被这宣传狂轰滥炸也要屈服的。

过程
考研的过程到底有多长因人而异，我身边一个准备考北大的是大三下就基本不上课地开始看书了。每天给自己下了任务，早上多少题高数，中午多少英语阅读，晚上多少英语单词，如此往复，几乎一日不休。当然更多的人是从大三暑假开始看书的。极端的例子我只听过，如从入学就开始准备考研，还有只剩下一个多月才开始看书的身边并不能见到。

大限已到
这两天，谈到即将到来的考试，子偏一直反复和我提到这个词。是的，大限以到。考研的人们或多或少都有这种芒刺在背，只是胸有成竹的人并不多。大多数人在我问及时都表示出一种谨慎的悲观，自嘲或者叹息两声。事实上，很多人的确没有复习完，与他们先前所订下的计划还有不小的距离，或者没有背完政治或者真题才开始做。没有完成的计划理论上对于考试或许并没有太大影响，毕竟复习了那么久了，但事实上对于心态的不利影响是显见的。在考前的一天，我身边的数名朋友都失眠了，想想也是情理之中。

结语：
这从来不是轻松的旅程，你必须用心付出，即使这样也未必能得到你想要的。每一个成功者都是幸运的，失败者或者另辟蹊径，或者再次走人这个循环。

PS:
这篇文章漏洞不少，不能算成文，将来还会有更多的信息录入去补足和完善。

写到这里，今年的考研的笔试也已告一段落，祝愿身边应试者们能顺利过关。
随之，后来者们将继续前赴后继，也正是现在的他们和将来的他们，让考研生生不息。

最后贴些照片，是考研最后几天在学校拍的，留作纪念：

还有一天，硕大而清晰

大众版的倒计时牌

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 1/21/07

3/17

知道这篇文章不会就这么结尾的，本周随着全国各个学校的公布成绩，考研的话题再次复活。

大学这四年

大学四年，飘飘然而将逝。四年来，所遇之人，所闻之事，所行之路，所受之益，不可谓不多，令我忆而感丰硕然。反复思量，还是决定花些时间，讲故事以主观视角，客观信息作为依托，按专题作文，四年虽短，但数篇短文不能概括，只希望能丰富而有特点，也许不好看，但一定真实可信。

大约以每月一篇的速度写出来，如有后人看来有所得益，或者前人读着有所共鸣，也算是一点贡献。

假前购物

又买碟了，过去的半年多里只买了一张CD。最近冲动又来，但车飞驰而出。去了CD花园和搬了不知道几次,这次又搬了的音乐花园。看到了王强，估计有半年多没见到他了，这个时候店里清闲。于是和他还有小杨一起聊了一会儿。我很久不来，业界发生了不少事情，我所知道的很多卖家现在都已经不做了，王强说自己也在清货，也不知道是不是开玩笑。不过他老人家说到李源的货都是从他那边拿的倒是让我很是诧异。还有一定不知真假，之后的海关碟将没有原盘，除了一向居于高位的日本货，统统锯口。反正一系列事件影响面很广，上海最近也是吃紧，货源稀缺。


音乐花园的新址

在南京的时间是过一天少一天，我出去的机会也就不多，这次就倾囊了。

贴几个：

为了拉宾，我的半个dsl飞了


一下子拿下三张Yann Tierson

数年之后，我再次为Lor掏了腰包。当熟悉的旋律再次响起，如同久违的友人从远处走来，倍感亲切。回来上了Amazon，发现Lor的多媒体周边又多出不少，看来为它破费誓将如滔滔江水……

满载而归，心中愉悦。

触摸时代

昨日把卡比哥哥得NDS借来耍，玩了近一天，新马一周目达成。又尝试了任氏最经典的几个游戏，脑轻松和任天狗，无数经典创意，过去有所闻到今日自己去尝试，增加了许多认识。所谓的touch、体感的确是一种锐意而前卫的思想，但Nintendo成功了，成功了开辟了蓝海，从大众的认可度我认为一个touch generation将要到来，现在所有的电子产品都是通过碰触来进行互动，将来的电子产品和非电子产品都将有屏幕，这是个必然，于是触摸将成为一种最为贴切而合适的互动方式。鼠标会消失的，但箭头或许不会，但一定会被革新。

NDS的成功促成了Wii的诞生，Nintendo依旧通过异质来开拓，虽然是商家之举，但作为开拓者值得褒奖，下一个是领跑者是谁，我希望是Steven Jobs。

When You Say Nothing At All
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_You_Say_Nothing_at_All

The song's first cover version came in 1995, when Alison Krauss & Union Station recorded the song, taking their version to #3 on the Country Tracks chart. Shortly thereafter, country station KKBQ of Houston, Texas started playing a version which dubbed the Keith and Alison versions.

It was also covered by Irish singer Ronan Keating for the soundtrack to the film Notting Hill. The song would also appear on Keating's solo debut album Ronan the following year. Keating's version of "When You Say Nothing At All" was released as a single in the third quarter of 1999 and reached number one on the United Kingdom singles chart, where it became Keating's first number one solo single. It also reached the top position in Ireland. In the UK, the single was certified gold. Keating re-recorded the single as a duet with Mexican singer Paulina Rubio which was released in Mexico and Latin America in 2003 to promote a hits compilation. Steven McLachlan’s version was recorded in 2003 and featured on 2 of his albums “Inspiration” & “The Way The Story Goes” respectively. It was also a massive digital hit for the singer, staying at #1 on the Australian Country-Pop Digital Charts for 6 months, as well as charting on many other charts & being the singers most popular recording to date.

Nine Million Bicycle by Katie Melua
下载

MV

LIVE

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say
There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die


今年年仅21岁的女歌手凯蒂．梅卢阿(Katie Melua)出生于前苏联的一个小国 Georgia(格鲁吉亚)。成长于莫斯科、黑海、北爱尔兰及伦敦。从小梦想可以从政或成为史学家的她，就读英国表演艺术学校时被音乐制作人Mike Batt挖掘，签入独立厂牌DRAMATICO旗下。2003年底，Katie Melua以新星的姿态涌出歌坛，首支单曲"The Closest Thing To Crazy"强登英国金榜Top 10。不久，广获好评的首张专辑《Call Of The Search》一举挤下英伦人气天后Dido、击退Norah Jones，荣获6周英国金榜后座，成为英国2004开春迄今最畅销专辑。后来江美琪把The Closest Thing To Crazy翻唱成了「谁会相信」。那时的Katie Melua，只是个十九岁的少女，却俨然成为新一代的流行爵士天后。

2005年九月，Katie发行了她的第二张录音室专辑《Piece By Piece》。新专辑首周进入英国流行音乐排行榜榜单中，便战胜了双周冠军大卫．格雷(David Gray)的专辑《Life In Slow Motion》顺利登顶。

声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道的Katie Melua，常被乐评拿来与诺拉．琼丝相提并论。而我一直觉得Katie Melua算不上是爵士歌者,只能说她融合了很多曲风点.也许就是因此更能被大众所接受. 连她自己也说我的偶像不是爵士歌手,而是民谣歌手Eva Cassidy，但她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音，让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声Eva Cassidy。据说在被Mike Batt发掘的那天，Katie所演唱的正好就是受Eva启发而学下的创作曲“Faraway Voice”......

Nine Million Bicycles讲述了一个来自北京的故事，融合着爵士的流行味道慢版的抒情小调。Katie Melua甜美清澈的嗓音,如丝般飘逸。就像Katie Melua说的：I like this song because it is a simple juxtaposition of a trivial idea against an important idea。是啊，喜爱就好，不需要理由。她恣意的唱着，因为我相信只有自然，才能流出内心的音乐，而只有恣意的活着才能自然。




现在放什么歌，什么时候放都很随性，如果大家有什么感想就说说吧～

07展望

昨日原本准备写个年度总结的，动笔时却已是元旦，那就写个展望吧！

07年我的学生生涯就该结束了，要蜕变成一个上班族了。过去可能学习不够认真，但工作是务必要勤恳投入了。一开始或许不会有什么太大变化，但想到能成为社会的人也是件欣慰的事。

去年一年虽然没怎么忙碌，但发现把电影和音乐都丢了有很久，今年虽然不可能再热起来，还是要重拾下平常心，只是要达到平衡想来实在不易，慢慢来。同样过去的一年虽然没玩什么游戏，但关心这方面信息消耗的心力不少，今年要多玩少看，踏踏实实。

有人说有一种境界是工作如玩，玩似工作，我的一位老师说李敖做到了，想来他老人家作节目，做公众人物嬉笑怒骂样样精通，回到家里确是埋头研究资料，诚然要向他老人家看齐。可惜去年年末他在凤凰卫视的节目结束了，我的生活要少了份趣味了。工作和娱乐如何处理，我个人算是处理的不怎么样，如果自我膨胀得严重，过多的事、物、人总是会剥离剩余不多的精力。没有高效率的处理能力，唯有抛弃。这一年，平衡生活，更好的将生活带到一个合理而安全有效的节奏上是最大的任务。毕竟，将来的日子很少能回头了。

总之，07年我还是摸着石头，小心翼翼地过河。
