Les Miserables
我有个坏习惯;每当我看一部我很喜欢的好片子后,我会IMBD, google, YouTube, Wiki 所有关于那部片子的一切。那天一踏出戏院,我就开始这个坏习惯。可是对于我喜不喜欢Les Mis, 觉不觉得这是一部好看的戏,我没有答案。我只知道那天晚上我花了一整晚看了所有关于这部戏的短片on YouTube, 包括媒体访问演员们,官方的宣传片,幕后花絮,演员的旧作表演,其他曾经演出这音乐剧的演员的表演。我也上网读所有有关这音乐剧,甚至于原著作者,还有the French Revolution 法国革命。我也忍不住逢人必问,“你看这部戏了吗?”“你觉得怎么样?”这部戏好看吗?我喜欢吗?经过那么多天,我的答案是“震撼” 。
我记得戏才刚开始,我就忍不住问何我一起看这部片子的朋友,“他们有必要每句台词都要唱吗?” 朋友回答“这是音乐剧嘛” 可是我不记得看MamaMia 和 Cats 时有这种不舒服的感觉。我觉得应该是这出音乐剧的作曲者是个懒人吧,很多时候每个字的音都是同一个或者都是Do So Do So之类的一直重复着。听一会儿就难免觉得厌烦吧。可是对于不是专业歌手的演员们这也是好事,他们可以专心演,可以唱得像在说话一样。
我没看过这出音乐剧,不知道先看这电影版本是好事还是坏事。毕竟电影着重的是细腻的感情,演员精湛的演技,还有真实感; 而音乐剧是现场氛围,乐队和一群演员的热情堆砌的震撼。电影里大部分的镜头都是close-up演员的表情,close-up 到我都能数演员脸上有几条皱纹,有多少斑点。也许导演知道许多人都是音乐剧版的fans, 以免被时时刻刻拿来做比较,他决定让观众体验剧场无法看到那么清楚的表情。导演也很大胆,细心地现场收音。也就是说演员们都是唱‘现场’的。有好几次歌都不成调,可是感情传达得高潮迭起,丰富感人到让人可以忽视听觉难受这件事。电影也可以到真实的教堂,高山上等取景,随意切换镜头,让故事的真实感和震撼力更完整的呈现在观众眼前。只是群戏少了音乐剧独有的壮观。
其实撇开演员,服装,音乐,一切拼凑这部电影,打动观众的硬件,真正持续震撼我和所有观众的也许是故事本身吧。作者Victor Hugo 不愧是影响许多伟大的作者的‘一代文学家'。也只有像他成长在乱世的人才能写出这样的“悲惨世界”。革命总是振奋人心,爱总是给人希望,人类对于生命总会不断的探索。
“To Love another person is to see the face of God"
只是因为要救姐姐的儿子才偷了一片面包的Jean Vanjean在监狱服刑了19年,即实刑满也被视为‘危险人物’而无法找到能糊口的工作。愤世嫉俗的他因为牧师的宽恕得到了重生的机会,可是最终是为了赎罪而领养Cosette才开始懂得‘爱人’。在他慢慢接近上帝的旅途中,一直追着他的Javert是一个一直秉着‘循规蹈矩’才是上帝承认的正义与真理。不顾法纪的Vanjean在Javert眼里是不能被原谅的,他不留情面,不给机会,认为不对的就是错,错的就不能被原谅。 最后却被Vanjean救了一命,信仰被瓦解,认知的世界也跟着崩溃。其实说到底,故事探讨的是生命。
活在水深火热的人们总会希望有上帝能帮助,也因为太痛苦才会怀疑到底有没有上帝。信仰能让我们这些罪孽深重的凡夫俗子受困的心能得到一盏灯,能陪我们走出黑暗的路。执著与信仰却是一线之差,过于执著只会让人像是活在地狱。只要心中有爱与宽恕,心会平静,人会开心。应该是这样的,对吗?

sausage mushroom cream pasta without cream
My latest experiment!
A friend taught me this method of cooking cream pasta, just with fresh milk and cheese, instead of using cream. finally had a chance to try it tonight!
Tips:
fry ingredients with garlic before adding milk for better taste, esp mushroom
Add cheese only after u off the fire
Verdict:
This method of cooking cream pasta will have equal yummy creamy taste but less rich, 不那么腻。

Cats!
我不喜欢猫,偏偏我家附近有许多猫,是每走几步就有一只那么多!而且我想只有这里的猫会睡在路中央,狂妄得从不避讳路人 。最大原因是因为每天都有人喂它们。
每天,猫群们就会在各个角落等候。她会在固定的时间到各个角落,扛着一包包的猫食,然后把猫食装在用纸折成的碗让猫群们慢慢享受。
每次看到那些猫群们的残羹剩饭布满各个角落,我都会火冒三丈。可是X说喂野猫并不犯法,我生气也没用。喂猫不犯法,那乱丢垃圾应该就犯法吧!?
满口人道主义的x总会说我没有爱心,不喂那些猫群们它们就没饭吃了。好心做坏事是对
还是错?喂饱了猫,却没把剩下的猫食清理干净,倒是便宜了老鼠们!猫捉老鼠我以为是天经地义的事(难道Tom & Jerry 都是骗人的?),可我们这一带的猫们总是放任老鼠在夜里到处游荡!好几次我都亲眼目睹有两个拳头大的老鼠在我跟前跑过!

成长 成长
琬玲的胃口本来就不大好,可是勉强还算少量多餐。吃粥后,她在爷爷奶奶家就几乎不喝奶了。不知道出了什么问题,奶嘴换过了,也试了不同的奶瓶,冷的奶,没结冰过的奶,甚至奶粉也都试过了,可是爷爷奶奶说琬玲现在一天也只喝最多100ml 的奶。。每次晚上回家看到她总是泪眼汪汪,迫不及待扑向我,总是感到又庆幸又心疼。庆幸女儿还是需要我,却又心疼她好像饿了好久似的。怎么会这样呢?
琬玲的奶奶说,是因为琬玲遗传她爸爸不爱喝奶的基因。不爱喝奶也能遗传?。。。。。。。
我应该认命吗?任由琬玲在爷爷奶奶家不喝奶?我不甘心,应该还有其他办法。。花多点时间在琬玲身上,让她一岁之前的这几个月,还需要喝奶的阶段多在她身边照顾她,喂她?这样我就必须牺牲工作的时间。。。纠结啊。。。一定还有办法的。。。。
Sleep training
I stumbled upon this article which I feel I must share:
https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/sleep-training-selfishishness-checklist/
I shouted "yes!" for most on the checklist, especially number 10 "10. I laugh with my baby more when I’ve gottenenough some sleep." Haha....like " enough some sleep."a lot!
I struggled with training WL to sleep constantly. I had enjoyed some brief success when she's about 3 months old, after 2 weeks of persistent sleep training, establishing sleeping habits while her grandparents were away for holidays. However, as she grew a bit older some habits were "broken" and I start to experience inertia to sleep train her again.
Ok, I need to train her to sleep independently!
Before I start on this difficult task, there are 2 problems I need to ponder on:
1) Should I be the one to do the closing?
Because of my work, I should not be at home most of the time at night before her normal bedtime. I know some of my colleagues don't do the closing so they could go for appt at night, others adjust their work schedule such that they will be at home before bedtime. Right now, I go for night appts occasionally and XL will make WL slp when I am not around. Because it is just occasionally, WL actually still wait for me, even if she fall asleep, she'll wake up when I reach home.
2) Should I still nurse her for her last feed?
One of her strongest sleep association is "nursing". Two problems: 1) I won't know how to make her sleep if she refuse breast, when she's not hungry or when I have low supply. 2) She'd need me to make her sleep. = bad habit? One issue is she don't like bottle. This lead to two issues: 1) I have to continue breastfeeding, 2) I cant replace last feed to formula, many people suggested that this will help her sleep longer at night. Sigh... dunno what to do with this problem.
....
Probably I need to think of one habit that has nothing to do with me.
