话说这个片讲的是一个今年62岁的bbc电视剧女演员到挪威圆她人生最大的梦想，那就是1）看极光 2）进北极圈。她在挪威走到哪里都倒霉地碰到低气压云层，只看了淡淡一抹绿。最后在寤寐思服，上下求索，执著到我都有点感动鼻头酸酸的时候，摸到了挪威极光观测台，在磁场活动最多的地方终于看到了真正意义上极光。

这个时候她刚做火车到挪威，坐着可爱的雪橇犬（这不是小哈士奇啊？）拉的雪橇跨越北极圈，我觉得底下那张图非常有意境。

到了一个很浪漫的海边地区，此地产鱼，名字很浪漫，是一个A上面有个小圆圈。

但是云太强了，他们只好乘游轮顺着峡湾去另一个萨摩原住民的中部地区。下图这个fjord就是峡湾，峡湾是冰山磨出来的峡谷，是挪威的国家象征。峡湾的景色真是太销魂了！

后来她到了某中部地区

去了一个冰雕成的饭店，哆哆嗦嗦地睡了一晚（古墓的那个练功床？:mrgreen: ）

还是一无所获，又换了一个地方找极光观测中心。这张出奇的像某位荷兰画家，可惜我忘记他名字了 。

终于看到了极光！

月亮或者隐隐约约的日出都挡不住极光的光芒


被深深震撼到流眼泪的主持人Joanna

片尾，Joanna来到了地球大陆最北端靠近北冰洋的地方，虽然天气酷寒，但是那里的海洋由于暖流并未结冰，在冰天雪地里竟然显得热气腾腾的。不知为啥，我觉得这个澡盆一样的海洋有点感人，是不是因为它意料之外的生机勃勃?


女主持Joanna Lumley是英国家喻户晓的女演员，原因一个是她主演的几部bbc长青剧集，另一个是她的配音，下面有个wikipedia上很搞笑的细节：

Users of AOL in the United Kingdom are familiar with Joanna Lumley's voice. She recorded the greeting "Welcome to AOL" for that company. It is, therefore, the first thing that a UK AOL user hears when logging on.

她在整个节目中一点没提过自己具体职业，但是她超级超级客气，不管见到啥都说：“it is re-a-l-l-y fantastic!" 我感觉听她说了无数次这句话，似乎每次语气还有稍微不同，演员就是强大 。

我第一次听他们是在看了这篇文章后，从soulseek上扒上来temptation这首歌，那绝对是一见钟情的体验。这是当年我触电的那个版本的MTV：

这首歌的吸引力可以用那篇文章中的一句话来形容：

Because what this is ultimately about is happiness...

因为我也在豆瓣上文艺一把，我经常听一堆相对小众的音乐。实话说，很多这类东西初一听简直太难听了，但是有一小部分别具风味逐渐听出趣味来，慢慢地爱上了。但是还有一部分是一见钟情，久经磨练喜爱之情还不消减的，我甚至比第一种更喜欢。后一种的音乐的代表作是上面这首temptation以及the turtles的happy together，后一种电影的代表是pixar的the incredibles。这种经得起考验的流行经典非常难得。new order除了temptation，还有几首歌属于这个类型，其中age of consent，ceremony和regret三首都是精品。

我一直不知道为什么我如此喜欢他们。我也不知道为什么他们是著名的ilx最被热爱的乐团。主唱唱歌整天跑调，歌词是幼儿园水平深度为零，乐队是业余水平，风格老掉牙了，人没半点“charisma”。真是想不通！

It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable

我真为自己起鸡皮疙瘩啊

Man Dies Waiting for Eclipse to Launch

A software engineer in San Jose, CA was found dead at his desk yesterday, apparently having died while waiting for his Java editing program, Eclipse, to finish its boot process. Coworkers say the engineer came in that morning vowing to "get Eclipse working on his box or die trying." The last thing anyone heard him say aloud was the cryptic comment: "I see the splash screen is appropriately blue." Nobody knows what he meant. The man was then thought to have fallen asleep, but hours later it was discovered that the engineer had died suddenly of apparent natural causes. The forensics team's investigation that evening was reportedly interrupted unexpectedly when the dead man's Eclipse program suddenly finished launching. The team tried to interact with it to see if they could find clues about the man's death, but the program was unresponsive and the machine ultimately had to be rebooted. At this time, the police commissioner says there is no evidence of foul play, and they currently believe the man simply died of either boredom or frustration.

HAHAHAHHA, OMG I can't breath

Barney(吉他主唱)和Hooky(贝司)这一年来关系真的很坏啊, 在去年底tour的时候就频频传这样的消息. 这次Hooky告诉记者NO要永远解散鸟. 我不相信这几个老顽童, 估计过个五六年, 他们关系变好了, 也许会再重组.

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart
