临时三刻男 Daniel

Scandinavian tunes rules this fall. 'Kings of Convenience' - summer-ish cover but the tunes are acoustic and simply beautiful.

独居似乎更符合天蝎男的习性：无须勾勒领地的界线，也不消为了躲藏而留下背
影。只是镜中的格雷先生消失了好久。他不是力比多，但更要紧。
Tonight's the night.

那个夏天，20岁的那个夏天，差一点就追随一个念想而抱起吉他。

成为水果奴之后的常态生活：

自然醒提前两小时到来
回到两年前活跃的地段
一周两次在NCI报到
每天使用水果本超过12小时
……
what a slave

Farewell my dear Cesky Krumlov. The scenery's only appeared in the PC games... or dreams. But it was real and I was there watching the clouds and Vltavar afloat together with harmony.

Three-hour bus ride away, I'm now in the Tyn Court of Prague. The hostel I stay is nestled right inside the Court and within walking distance to main attractions. The coal-dark spears of the upright architectures mark the glory of the town that survived the difficult years. The Vltavar twists its way from Cesky Krumlov up to the Praha area. Dvorak was right about his motherland. Czech is a great nation that embraces the essence of nature has to offer and its people are living in the utmost simple joyce. Charles IV is a name recognized by tourists and of course the Czech people. The bridge and numerous other architectures with grandeur are built either under his name or order. The city has undergone so much that not a single museum could cover its stories - the tradition, revolution and innovation... But the visit to the C-ism Museum was definitely a funny one. The Museum situates somewhere near MUSTEK and can be reached via a casino. Easy to miss and hard to forget.

My legs are killing me at their maximum. But thanks to my dear, I had leg-relief-patches with me. Ha, sounds weird but they really worked. I'm gonna explore further into the more ordinary Czech life in the next few days - hopefully not in the way of a tourist but an 'observer'.

BTW, I've taken hundreds of pics that should be ready for uploading once I'm back. Stay tuned.

I'm taking flight OK 760 to Paris. Airline codes are funny sometimes. Let me check (or Czech?) if this Czech Airline company really does it in the OK way. LH and AF stands for Lufthansa and Air France respectively, which corresponds to the 'initial rule'. But Air China is not that lucky. The AC code was registered by Air Canada and the inverted CA is now used by the leading Chinese airline. Another carrier that bears the C initial is the Chinese Airlines with its hub in Taipei, which has to stay odd with the code CI. Less attention is paid to the code-names of the regional airline companies in China. MU, CZ, FM... absolutely no idea for first time passengers...

Pic taken in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

Dvorak is tombed here, Goethe visited 13 times here in Karlovy Vary...
It's a lovely place with spring 'feed' everywhere. Salty and even
rusty taste water at 50 degree or above, is said to be potent. BTW,
the hostel is excellent - more than a dorm/apartment!!

I'm in the SPA town!

It's the third time in Milano.
The streets were namely empty on the day of arrival. Shops closed,
restaurants shut and the only place that was still alive? Guess what,
it's the Piazza Duomo. Italians waving national flags and safeguarding
police in slim-cut uniforms flocked into the very Centro of this
slightly under-developed and highly-materialized capital of the
fashion industry.
The following days are filled with glamour. I got a peak at the SS09
Gucci men's collection and witnessed the launch of a very interesting
new fragrance by the fashion house. Authentic party animals flooded
the after-party and rocked the night away with champagnes and mojitos.
Yesterday was unspeakable. Basicly it was HARD. Interviews with James
Franco, the new face for Gucci's new fragrance, and Frida Giannini,
creative director of the house, were all like 20 minutes behind
schedule. That's been the pleasant part of the day, however. The
painful experience started when I shop. Wrong directions, closed metro
line and hiss weather... The shopping paradise kind of failed me.
I'm packed and ready for a ride to Malpensa, and then to the very
beginning of THE TRIP TO CZECH. Ciao!

All set. I'm being the least eco-friendly backpacker ever... I printed
pages of travel tips and categorized them into envelopes. So I did.
Anyway, I'm waiting for the first leg of flight to Paris, to be
followed with a short-haul to Milan.

行前的小焦虑终于过去了。在强大的google translation的帮
助下，在捷克语网站上预定了捷克行所有城际大巴票。
而后还打印了旅行攻略几十页，办了online check-in... 心
安啦。

值得一提的是，此行第一站仍将是熟悉又陌生的米兰。
那儿又要重演两年前世界杯法国-意大利大战时的狂热
了吧。彼时的米兰，满街欢腾的球迷，骑着vespa，手举
国旗，用摔酒瓶的方式庆祝意大利的胜利。那这周日
呢？

将远行兮……

事实证明，强大的意念可以促使愿望的达成。25岁那
天，在意念驱动下，我搭上飞往Barcelona的班机。今年的
捷克行也临时三刻地成真了。

旅居捷克五年之久的友人建议道，何不做个live blog，走
到哪儿博到哪儿。寻思着，这也不啻为让留守人士心安
的好法子。于是，但凡在机场、酒店、青年旅社，只要
有wi-fi，就让我提供博起来吧。

Solution is the solution.
Chemistry is the ultimate compound to successful interaction.

既然天亮，索性就不睡了。
iPod标准配置的破烂耳机似乎此时发声困难，如同被闹钟或骚扰电话吵醒后的嘶哑嗓音。也许是电压不足就会跑调？那岂不是每个五音不全的人都无法担当合格的发电机？那发不了电的“时尚人士”就只有长痘的份了？ 依次逻辑，长痘的时尚人士都应该以钱柜为悲哀。

在一个长于思辨的家伙面前提起对于苏珊米勒阿姨的敬仰。突然发觉苏珊阿姨（看过其人照片便不愿称其为姐姐）的预言准确度是建立在对事物发展取向概括的宏观维度之上的。譬如某月，苏珊阿姨说天蝎座人士本月家中必有水患。“水患”这一相对宽广的定义可真包罗万象。于是某天我回到当时的旧宅，发现在北京度过的那第一个冬日将于淋漓不尽的破暖气管道为伍，不得不吸口气，佩服苏珊阿姨关于水患预言的精准。善于思辨的家伙说“你打翻个水杯也是当月水患啊”。于是，我对于苏珊阿姨的执着小小动摇。而她预言的“天蝎座7月初的旅行”转而又被我分析为“顺应了欧美人的夏日度假习性”。唉，果然这信任危机一旦有了端倪就不可阻挡。 但终究看苏珊姐姐的预言还是有小乐趣和小欣慰的。对于easy money或是romantic dates的预言总能令人小小迷幻并产生小小期许。而她说的“职业建设问题”又那么中肯而富于建设性，真是让人心中顿时有了盼头，觉得人生道路不远处尚有明灯数盏。

need no amp or limelight
getting raptured is simply hands-on easy
getting raptured within 48 hours
getting raptured in the can
have to believe in sweet sensation and get obsessed
conclusion
u r a loser

stand behind his drunken amp
stand behind his light of love
hear him yowl his bloody tongue
hear him yell 4 blood and war
do you believe in his sweet sensation
do you believe in second chance
do you believe in rapture babe
a terrible hit strikes today
a terrible hit for the parade
burnin’ eyes seek jesus comin
jesus comes to pave the way
can you tell me what to feel
open up yr tender soul
can I drink yr drunken mercy
wine burns the devil’s hole
