天台上的BBQ party，围坐在篝火边，谢谢H邀请我去。

2011年4月5日    共青森林公园  上海

一起看日落

2011年1月18日

清晨送他去机场，目送着他离去，期盼着一个月后能再次见到他。在回来的地铁上，空旷无人，于是照了相留念。没想到出地铁站的时候，迎来了今年上海的第一场初雪。

我们在初雪中分别，却不知后来的我们再次相遇，却变得更为复杂。

这一年博客的空白不是没有原因，这一年发生的事，“说”比“写”要好，“不说”比“说”更好，过去如同浮云，算了。

现在我想写下这一篇，是因为我要开始做下一个决定——离开。现在的这份工作给了我前所未有的压力，我在感情和工作上，只有一个字“混乱”。我想要放弃现在的一切，包括感情，包括工作，去另一个地方，不论算是旅游也好，散心也好，或者重新寻找机会，这对我来说，都比困在现在的境地要好得多。

俗话说：借酒消愁愁更愁，对我来说，借酒消愁只是一个借口，放纵自己的借口。迷恋上了酒吧里震撼的音乐，迷恋上了那种暧昧的气氛，迷恋上了酒精带给我的放肆，喜欢黑夜更胜于白天，喜欢伪装更胜于真实。面对种种的压力，最后解决的方法竟然只是逃避，我也只有这样的能耐了。

不过最终我还是想要逃跑，越快越好，我等不了多久了。。。。

      结束了半年的工作，明天就要开始一段新的旅行。

      这半年来，简直可以用物是人非来形容，发生了太多经历了太多 也改变了太多。至于都是些什么故事，我也不想再提了。我很珍惜这半年的生活，也很怀念在我身边经过的每一个人，喜欢。留恋。思念。遗忘。每一个人都留给了我不同的经历和不同的故事。

      明天开始又会有新的故事。

      尽请期待吧。。。

         今天，难得冬日里的一个风和日丽阳光和煦温暖如春的天气，让人瞬间有了夏天的感觉。下午一个人在外面晃荡，找不到同学陪伴，于是拿出自己的老三样：一个人看电影，一个人吃快餐，一个人去图书馆——中的两样，先去看电影然后去吃快餐。

         到了人民广场，沿着美术馆一路走过来，正好看到大光明电影院，本来想去和平影都的，但是考虑了一下路程和炎热的程度，就直接进了大光明。排队买票，我选了《锦衣卫》，12点20分，半价40元。前面两个老外堵在窗口 买《阿凡达》的票子，要买五张，但是一点的那场只有第一排了，老外打给同伴，问到底看几点的，四点的好像还有比较好的位子，他说：we are now at the front window,we must make a quick decision.我听到后，顿觉熟悉，就好像apprentice里的场面重现一样，就连口音都很像，get 5 tickets后，就轮到我了。我买一张《锦衣卫》，服务员还重复问了下：一张？呵呵，我就是一个人，怎样，哈哈

        我坐在第六排最靠边一个位子，视线很好，和中间没啥区别，旁边坐了俩吵闹型男生，一边往嘴里放着爆米花，一边评论演员的长相。“吴尊长得就是360度好看啊，徐子珊长得蛮丑的，哇甄子丹的胸肌好厉害！”我边上那个男生刚坐下来后，一直往我这里看，估计也在想，哪有人一个人来看电影的。我倒觉得一个人看电影比两个人看要好多了，比较容易集中精神，想笑就笑，不想说话就不说话，如果是两个人难免要顾虑到对方。

        总体来说 《锦衣卫》这部片子还是不错滴，起码值回我的票价。剧情连接比较紧密，没啥拖沓的场景。武打部分更是出彩，我发觉甄子丹的打戏已经自成风格了，电影里的打斗场面非常震撼，都是真功夫，比起《风云》里的虚幻场景不知要好几百倍。甄子丹作为武术指导从《杀破狼》开始就已经能够独挡一面了，我个人觉得他的打斗戏要比成龙的精彩，甄子丹属于硬汉形象，真枪实干，成龙的打斗戏参杂了过多的笑点。在《锦衣卫》里甄子丹可以说是从头打到尾，除了和赵薇的对手戏。值得一提的是赵薇在这部戏里比较搞笑，好几个笑点都在她身上，一个是用木棍打爆甄子丹的头，一个是吃饭不给钱那段，还有就是冒充青龙，全场笑翻了，我笑得都禁不住狂拍椅子的扶手了。可惜赵薇还是老了，好几个镜头，由于她的眼袋着实把她变成了百分百的大婶。吴尊一出场，果然引起了一阵小骚动，可惜第一句话脱口而出，竟然没用配音，大家顿时雷倒，纷纷纠结中。不过后面几句他讲的就比较标准了，估计是苦练过了，但是他的台词实在是又雷又好笑，“天鹰帮杀到——”“如果还有这样的勾当，记得通知我”么想到勾当第四声，他倒读的蛮标准的。吴尊在里面的打戏以腿脚功夫为主，还是比较实在的。另外，一个重要角色就是徐子珊了，我一直觉得她不算漂亮，但是在《锦衣卫》里的造型却让她有了新的尝试，反而发掘了一些她以前不具备的美感。我倒觉得这样的妖媚和狠毒很适合她，最搞笑的就是“脱脱”这个名字了，每次一提，大家就笑场。她的铁鞭非常的厉害，而且能像凌波微步一样衣服脱完了再穿上，这个设计还是比较有新意的，就是看的时候有点像鬼。最后甄子丹抱着徐子珊一起死的时候，那场面弄得好像一对情人殉情一样，徐子珊还闭上了眼睛，很享受似的，看来甄子丹的魅力果然不同反响。呵呵，这里算是YY了。

        12点20看到14点10分，一个小时五十分钟，不多不少，出来后，大家你一句我一句的，起码没有人抱怨，不像《风云》一看完就有人骂娘，所以想去电影院看《锦衣卫》的朋友，还是值得一试滴。

 

      apprentice看到第二季，很关心第一季冠军bill的现状啊，我最喜欢他了，在第一季里面，能力强，性格好，长得帅。嘻嘻。于是去网上搜了一下，没想到还真有，不过只有英文版的，有兴趣的自己看看吧。

 

前五季冠军现状
The Apprentice – Where are they now?Posted on March 12, 2007 by sytycdI was getting excited to watch The Apprentice LA tonight and so I decided to stop by their website. I found that they had a list of where the past winners are now. I like to get these types of updates. So, here’ they are:

Bill Rancic – Season One Winner
      Having the opportunity to participate in The Apprentice is something for which Season One winner Bill Rancic will be forever grateful. The opportunity to learn from the best, coupled with the challenge of competing against 15 other successful participants was an offer Rancic couldn’t refuse. He now finds satisfaction in being a role model for other people who are trying to achieve what he has worked so hard for – the American dream. Rancic has proven that the dream is still alive, and that hard work and determination are still a recipe for success in this country.
       Currently, Rancic is working for the Trump Organization and recently completed his second book, “Beyond the Lemonade Stand.” The book is the follow-up to his New York Times bestseller “You’re Hired: How to Succeed in Business and Life from the Winner of ‘The Apprentice.’”Besides working for Trump and being a best-selling author, Rancic also runs cigarsaroundtheworld.com, a thriving multi-million dollar national operation that is part of a publicly traded company, Synergy Brands (sybr/nasdaq). While Rancic still manages the day-to-day operation of the cigar business he founded, he is also making a name for himself in the Chicago real estate market.
         He is a sought-after speaker at major universities and corporations where he talks about how, through hard work and “thinking-out-of-the-box,” success can be achieved even against the worst odds. He also helps pass on this message to the residents of the Mercy Home for Boys, where he has volunteered as a tutor for underprivileged children for the past four years.
         Though fortunate to have many achievements in his life, Rancic he is most proud of the creation of the Dr. Edward T. Rancic scholarship fund. After the loss of his father, Rancic and his sisters created the scholarship fund to assist students who are in financial need and have the desire to become educators. Rancic is also an advocate supporter of National Institution for Health, as well as the Youth Aidssociety.

Kelly – Season 2 Winner
       During his year with Donald Trump, Season Two winner Kelly worked on several high-profile projects including 40 Wall Street (1.3M square feet of commercial real estate in downtown Manhattan, Trump Tower Tampa (50 story upscale condominium in Tampa, FL) and Trump Ice (Trump branded bottled water). At the end of his year contract with “The Donald,” Kelly decided to move on to pursue the venture capital fund and several other exciting projects.

【my opinion】
           这部港剧算是今年比较好看的了，从《宫心计》到《富贵门》，这种勾心斗角的戏码已经不再受欢迎了，反而像《恋爱星求人》这样讲述简单爱情的剧集比较能获得人心，而这也是港剧的长处。在香港女演员里，我最喜欢黎姿和杨怡，觉得她们很漂亮戏也演得好，况且这部剧里的马浚伟的角色很讨巧，谢天华也很有魅力，正是恰到好处。因为它是海外发行，所以更新起来比较慢，我只能每天不断刷新视频网站，等待的日子还是蛮辛苦滴，呵呵。此剧周一到周四每晚播出，我一般在第二天早上七点半就可以在56.com上看到了。
