1. Begin with a blind, innocent faith that you do have something to say. Most people who are failed writers are the ones who didn't push ahead with singlemindedness. They allow themselves to be deflected.
2. Try to read. To see what's been done in languages, so you don't repeat what has already been done as well as never can be done.
3. Don't begin the project until you have some sense of how it's going to end. I think there's too much writing done impossibly. We do need when we put a story down, a sense of author knew what he was doing. After all, that's what distinguished art from real world. We are not sure the real world knows what it's doing. But we do hope that in books, put in the hands of someone who would guide us along certain paths.

Sir Lucious Left Foot Son Of Chico Dusty
主打歌 Shutterbug，剛開始聽覺得很怪 (MV更怪)，可是聽久還蠻喜歡後面很重的拍子。
Tangerine對我來說，是首很酷的饒舌歌，有電吉他在背景徘徊，重拍一個接著一個。整首歌讓我想到非洲的叢林，一群人在叢林裡做愛。因為整首歌歌詞都在講做愛。很典型的Dirty South。
Hustle Blood 是由 Jamie Foxx 客串的，一首比較 R&B 曲風的歌。
不過整張專輯最喜歡的就是這首 Be Still。整首歌幾乎都是Janelle Monae 來唱的， 我很喜歡她並沒有放太多感情在歌聲中，只是用她很好聽的聲音告訴我們年輕人不要動。另外把synth的效果用的太好了，百聽不厭。
Fo Yo Sorrows 基本上整首歌都再唱抽大麻，不過仔細聽 Big Boi 的詞，我居然聽到 "Why are 75% of our youth readin magazines? 'Cause they used to fantasy, and that's what they do to dream. Call it fiction addiction 'cause the truth is a heavy thing!" 其實整張專輯的詞除了他自己在說他自己有多屌外，其實都還算不錯。就以我這個不常聽饒舌的人來說，都可以接受。不過真正讓我喜歡的是高水準的音樂製作。
Toy Story 3
Pixar just gets better everytime.
I don't remember previous two Toy Stories, but it doesn't kill the fun.
Story is good when everyone can relate to it, that's all it matters, regardless of sexes, races, ages, religions, right?
Zelig (1983)
It might be hard for audiences to swallow, but not film buffs or Allen fans.
The 20's documentary looks is just so skillfully done. Funny too.
Though it's not my favourite Woody Allen film, but it could serve as an interesting newsreel film of Woody Allen's wonderful filmography.

Rabbit Is Rich
Damn... you gotta love Rabbit, or rather, John Updike.
Why did Mr Updike bother with this prick, Harry Angstrom for nearly thirty years? It's no mystery. Harry Angstrom is simply one of the most fascinating characters of all time in the history of my reading. And I surely do enjoy reading these books. As a matter of fact, I'm addicted. Staying all night for a week reading and giggling to myself. Thinking about Rabbit all my waking hours while not reading the book. Now I'm reading the last one, Rabbit at Rest. One of the most striking aspect of Rabbit stories is that these books were published at the time reflecting the then contemporary status of America. Now, those times are our past. I wish I was born earlier to be able to read them as I go along with the history. Oh well, at least I don't have to wait 10 years to find out what happened to Rabbit. That's something I could cheer about.
Allo Darlin' - Woody Allen
in the movie of our lives, would woody allen write the screenplay?
not his best era, but certainly not his worst either
but i wouldn't like to be like diane keaton in manhattan
so cerebral she runs away from any romance
and although you're neurotic and a little paranoid
it doesn't make me annie, it doesn't make you alvy
woody allen couldn't play you, woody allen couldn't play you
i know you'd want him to but, he couldn't play you
if the swedish director ingmar bergman was still with us
what a mastermind but surely he'd have trouble with us
see i wouldn't like to be like bibi andersson in wild strawberries
what a doll she is, but i'm really not that complex
and although we argue, and we have our problems
and sometimes it gets bad, it never gets bergman bad
max von sydow couldn't play you, max von sydow couldn't play you
i know you'd want him to but max von sydow couldn't play you
god, i love this song so much, and their album too.
just got their vinyl record, with the lyrics sleeve.
i'm a fan of both woody allen and ingmar bergman.
and allo darlin' wrote a song about them! how we can't live like movies!?
it's so lovely how they refer to these movies and praise them at the same time.
