這些日子,我幾乎都是一個人『獨居』,亦名正言順可以把臉掛下做人,還有,衣冠不整,手握啤酒瓶在廳堂走來走去,十分自由。我早前一口氣買下十幾本的小說,此刻終于能在廳堂內翻閱直深夜,不必躲在房中,亮著小燈看至幾乎眼盲。

Wonderful Tonight
It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." We go to a party and everyone turns to see this beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes. And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize how much I love you. It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head. So I give her the car keys, she helps me to bed. And then I tell her as I turn out the light. I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

另一口【鮮血】
這是美國CW電視台2009年至2010年度新劇《The Vampire Diaries》(吸血鬼日記)的第一季海報。這部(又)以吸血鬼為題材的新劇,其實是改編自L. J. Smith的同名暢銷系列小說。
今早,突然驚覺【血庫】里的血根已耗完。我唯有趁血癮還未復發前,趕緊到鄰近的書局采購了L.J. Smith的另三本【鮮血】。這是作者名為《Night World》的young adult系列小說,里頭一共集合了吸血鬼、人狼、女巫等黑暗生物的9則故事。

"In the Night World there's this idea called soulmate principle. It says that every person has one soulmate out there, just one. And that person is perfect for you and is your destiny. The problem being that almost nobody ever finds their soulmate, just because of distance. So most people go through their whole lives feeling not complete."

【讀】癮
“我們生活在一個真實的世界里,社會越是文明,反而對外表美的要求越高,真是諷刺。古時生物擇偶,注意外表,因為羽毛漂亮,動物本身想必健康兼繁殖力頑強,在進化中漸漸外表占了優勢,一直演變至今日,人類追求美麗已達畸形狀態…… 美,美,美——總有大批犧牲者。”
"Raven, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Mrs Peevish asked, her green eyes staring through me.
I said nothing.
"An actress?"
I shook my head.
"A doctor?"
"Nuh, uh," I said.
"A flight attendant?"
"Yuck!" I replied.
"Then what?" she asked, annoyed.
I thought for a moment. "I want to be……"
"Yes?"
"I want to be……a vampire!"

【噬血癮】復發
Bright Star
John Keats wrote《Bright Star》in 1819 and revised it in 1820, perhaps on the (final) voyage to Italy. Friends and his doctor had urged him to try a common treatment for tuberculosis, a trip to Italy; however, John Keats was aware that he was dying. Some critics have theorized that this poem was addressed to his fiance, Fanny Brawne, and connect the poem to his May 3, 1818 letter to her.
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

奢靡的六月
剛在十八日火辣首播的《噬血真愛》(True Blood)第二季,再創佳績,吸引了370萬人觀看。讓HBO續2007年的《黑道家族》(The Sopranos)大結局后,另一套取得最高視率的劇集。我在這六月,一口氣便買下所有其原著Charlaine Harris的南方吸血鬼謎案(The Southern Vampire Mysteries)小說集。至今,我已K掉7本,2 more to go!
Suprisingly在一間不怎麼起眼的唱片行,竟然讓我找到了英國融合電音圣人Nitin Sawhney的這一張《London Underground》專輯。
在“純屬意外”下,購買了這雙Prada男款休閑鞋。雖不怎麼起眼,但勝在它特別好穿+還有40%折扣!
同時間,在Prada店鋪里,突然看中一件純黑手機吊飾,而且更是一百零一條……結果二話不說就立即買下它,速配我的Iriver MP4。

【執二攤】的奧黛麗
據了解,從1958年至今,出版社Random House每年售出至少三萬本的《Breakfast at Tiffany’s》,五十年來銷售穩定。而我這一本五十周年版的《Breakfast at Tiffany's》是剛剛在今早買下的。
雖然我對奧黛麗.赫本(Audrey Hepburn)的《珠光寶氣》(Breakfast at Tiffany's)最熟悉不過,但有關其原著作家的二三事,我倒是在近年才略曉得些。杜鲁门.卡波特(Truman Capote)的原著其實和改編電影相差甚遠。這位同性戀作家原本是很想力邀好友瑪麗蓮.夢露(Marilyn Monroe)飾演女主角,畢竟書中角色,名副其實就是個火辣金髮Call Girl。可惜,為了顧忌形象,夢露當時不敢再嘗試交際花的角色,最后才由奧黛麗給頂上。
