Geri's Life Safari

今天在51信手投了几个简历，貌似也是历沉大海了

用来一天来SCREEN雪片般寄来的C.V.，兼职也很抢手

算是做了次非正式的SEMI HR，额，真的好邪恶

开始看的很认真，把APPLICANT的信息都编辑到EXCEL里

后来，看到不是英语院校专业的就懒得看了（虽然后来又有REVIEW）

而电话面试别人貌似也是刘姥姥第一次，挺失败的，因为自己被别人面试的机会好像也太少了

得出结论...HR这个职位，优胜劣汰、弱肉强食、鱼肉竞争...(那你还老申？！)

今天文献检索的考试在不惊中开始，然后结束

大学最后门课程考试，复习真的很辛苦，没日没夜

SCI,EI Village,CA,OCLC,EBSCO,BP,ISI Proceeding,Wiley,SpringerLink，还有IPC分类号、检索途径、文献基础、字段、截词...

曾经很想做图书管理员，学了文捡，我想说，还是很想做（总想成为一个知识更渊博的人）

今天算是吃了散伙饭，桂林米粉，哈，其他几个（一一、龟他们）都吃木桶饭

今后会如何ne?总之新的一章开始了，绝不轻松，未知迷茫中...

天空未留痕迹，鸟儿却已飞过。今天看到一个字“囧”，读JIONG，但是却是光明的意思

希望大家的未来都能这样吧....明天准备看看计算机的成绩，然后到院里拿成绩大表，然后做头

Technorati Profile

 

愣愣地去买了化妆品，粉底液和唇彩

居然是一样的价钱，化妆品真是暴利产业

文献检索才看到外文DB，要当图书管理员真的不容易

前天帮人买了笔记本，第一次出手，有些混乱的市场和商家

看到新奇的玩意Neti Pot...额，有机会也给自己的鼻子洗洗～

Elegy for Dunkirk是Dario Marianelli为Atonement的配乐，出现在影片的后半部分，Robbie来到英军退驻的Dunkirk，场面荒凉，战争的残酷无情以完美的声景展现在人们眼前...我想光是这个镜头，JOE就能能赢得最佳导演，而Dario也可以拿到最佳原声了（不止偶一个，看到此情此景，听到这样的音乐，有点想哭...）

战士们在废墟上合唱的歌曲为 "Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind"，是一首赞美诗（Hymn），用在这里作为悲歌再合适不过...The beauty of thy peace.而最后一段，是否也揭示了Robbie最终的命运呢？Thy coolness and thy balm;Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire...

彻底被Dario和Joe折服...期待两人有更好的作品吧，还有James Mcavoy:)~

"Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind"

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence praise.

In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow thee.

O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!

Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.

Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm! 

最近听了好几张原声，连读报、学习、寻工的热情都下降了不少...

久石让的《菊次郎的夏天》,让我找到半夜的一张碟，最后幸得清风BBS和QQ群达人的帮助，才知道了困扰多时的音乐

Alexandre Desplat的，这个人的音乐，从之前的开始就让我很喜欢,喜欢曲子的悠扬

很欣喜地在emule下到Daniel Licht为Dexter作的原声,真是很haunting的说～

Dario Marianelli的下载中...从开始，就很难忘记他的音乐

音乐太多，自我太少，哈...在群里自己不算是什么原声狂人

PS 由于本人的一再的贪得无厌,硬盘全面告急....

       

凌晨看的Atonement，看到最后，听到老年BRIONY的自白，眼泪盈眶
我知道了开头（之前看了很多REVIEW和介绍）
但完全没料到是这样的结局...
大概真正的经典都需要悲剧来诠释
那种完完全全无法挽回的绝望，一生的忏悔

之前看了Atonement的介绍，以为又是一部华而不实的商业大片
然后从一开始似曾相识的镜头和原声开始就完全被拽进去了
最后的20多分钟将电影提升到了另一个高度，完全征服我了

无知、爱殇、战争、悲剧...
Atonement概括起来就是这样一部有些复杂的电影
对James和Keria的演技绝赞，原声是那种安静而悲伤的，镜头跨越不同时代
看IMDB上很多人看完电影，难以平复，我也随他们overwhelmingly devastated
要为结局悲痛上一阵子了...马上有冲动要去AMAZON买Atonement的书...
一部Atonement让我们伤的好深...但确实绝赞的好片，悲伤而存在着，净折磨人！

大半夜，我把剧本找出来，这是影片最后部分女主人公的自白 vid+script： 

BRIONY: I'm sorry.Could we stop for a moment?
MAN: Of course. Is something the matter?
BRIONY: I just need a couple of minutes by myself.

(TAPE REWINDING)

BRIONY:... minutes by myself.

MAN: Briony Tallis, your new novel,your twenty-first, is called Atonement. It's...Briony?
BRIONY:I 'm sorry. Could we stop for a moment?
MAN: Briony Tallis, I'd like to talk now about your new novel, Atonement,which comes out in a few days to coincide with your birthday. It's your twenty-first novel...
BRIONY: It's my last novel.

MAN: Oh, really? Are you retiring?
BRIONY: I'm dying. My doctor tells me I have something called vascular dementia, which is essentially a continuous series of tiny strokes.Your brain closes down, gradually you lose words, you lose your memory, which for a writer is pretty much the point. So that's why I could finally write the book,I think. I had to. And why, of course, it's my last novel. Strangely enough,it would be just as accurate to call it my first novel. I wrote several drafts as far back as my time at St Thomas' Hospital during the War. I just couldn't ever find the way to do it.

MAN: Because the novel is autobiographical,is that right?
BRIONY: Yes, entirely. I haven't changed any names,including my own.
MAN: And was that the problem?
BRIONY: No.I had, for a very long time,decided to tell the absolute truth. No rhymes, no embellishments.And I think...You've read the book,you'll understand why.

BRIONY: I got first-hand accounts of all the events I didn't personally witness,the conditions in prison,the evacuation to Dunkirk, everything. But the effect of all this honesty was rather pitiless.You see, I couldn't any longer imagine what purpose would be served by it.
MAN: By what? Sorry. Served by honesty?
BRIONY: By honesty.Or reality. Because, in fact,I was too much of a coward to go and see my sister in June,1940.I never made that journey to Balham.

ROBBIE: Do you have any idea what it's like in jail?
BRIONY: So the scene in which I confess to them is imagined.
CECILIA: He sleeps so deeply.

BRIONY: Invented.
ROBBIE: How old do you have to be to know the difference between right and wrong?
BRIONY: And, in fact,could never have happened.Because Robbie Turner died of septicaemia at Bray-Dunes on June the first, 1940,the last day of the evacuation.

ROBBIE's FRIEND: Cheerio, pal.{ROBBIE is dead}

BRIONY: And I was never able to put things right with my sister, Cecilia,because she was killed on the 15th of October, 1940,by the bomb that destroyed the gas and water mains above Balham tube station.

(BOMBS EXPLODING)

BRIONY: So...My sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for, and deserved.And which, ever since, I've...Ever since I've always felt I prevented.But what sense of hope,or satisfaction, could a reader derive from an ending like that? So, in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or evasion,but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.

(BOTH LAUGHING)Robbie and Cee at beach...happily ever after...

昨天半夜收到一些同学的新年短信
当时在看Battlestar Galatica: Razor
确实比Serenity更加吸引眼球，虽然只是故事的片段
第一眼就喜欢上Michelle Forbes演的Admiral Caine
后来知道她只是整部大戏当中的小角色，三集就挂了
而且背着很多恶名，霸权、变态、滥杀...她的被杀是理所应当

在Razor中，Caine的戏不算少
对于一个BG盲的我来说，这个角色真是眼前一亮
冷酷干练、不计后果、顾全大局...
潜意识中，Caine就是我的偶像拉
考虑去找Michelle演过的24、PB还有电影来看
她似乎每次都演那种权威干练BOSS的角色啊:)

元旦好像没干什么正事
睡觉、电影、没有进展的找工作、还没复习9号的文检期中考试
在NY blog看到，新年应该许实质性、具体性的愿望
另外，凌乱的摆设可能也预示着身心的疾病
so 清理案几（done）,明天买面试装和配眼镜
that's my short-term resolution :)

And...I just love Michelle Forbes...Admiral Caine is haunting..
