- Inspiration - it is the mood cultivated to get you started and also a sparkling moment that you think you should write;
- Undecided length of time for the pre-writing brainstorming session, during which I never write things down and I tend to remember the details and the flow in my head. If I forget it, just let it be forgotten as it's never the crucial part;
- A bit horniness - not so horny that you need to get laid right away, but a bit of horniness would give me a sense of urgency to set goals and make things finish;
- A noiseless, but not quiet environment - contradictory, I know. I take voices as the okay sounds but noises as the vice;
- Zero disturbance - I could multitask but it's hard to tell exactly what I could and couldn't do. I could msn with (some) people upon writing, but can't with others. I draw boundaries inside my head and make them happen in real life.

細細個看變形金剛是因為兩班敵對的機械人變來變去,變才是精要所在。Michael Bay 的 Transformers 兩頭唔到岸,放了人類角式落去又唔吸引,麥加登和柯柏文也沒有性格,故事放了受911嚇壞了的 New York City,這地方好像再也經不起考驗,任何暴力和超自然的東西一定要是發生在這裏。最弊就是機械人設計不鮮明,全部銀色擁作一團打架,睇不清誰是誰之餘,眼已經花了。劇性無聊不在說,最失望還是變身時的 graphic design 也很不清楚,細個時發現原來車胎是肩膊就已十分好奇,現在變身過程不能再讓觀眾鮮明地去辨別變身前後的配件和部份,大減興緻,看見了藍色的兩粒珠,發現這是個機械人頭已謝天謝地了。

從<女人本色>看黃真真的本事
有贈券,一看無妨。自己人都不幫自己人,香港出了兩個唔掂的姓黃導演,一是黃精蒲 (<江湖>,<阿嫂>),二是黃真真。
戲一看完,不禁問一句:真妹,你真的那麼憎男人嗎?<女人本色>以女主角成在信(梁詠琪飾演)的回歸後十年做骨幹,做女強人,還可以,但對不起,什麼演技大突破則無你份。戲內全部男角不知做了什麽,全部不得好死。
丈夫林子祥:一開場便被人炒魷,老婆則莫名其妙的升職,之後,林更不善理材,變成負資產,要老婆暗地裡幫他還債,知道後便在床上霸王硬上弓,跟住便慘遭橫禍,成為車下亡魂。
許紹雄:厄錢怪,喪吞梁詠琪五百萬,梁一句:你這種人,死不足惜,便燒炭自殺。
有線二打六:又係厄錢。
鄭嘉穎:做醫生,染沙士死。
兒子:無啦啦染沙士死。
流氓:被炒,暴力埋伏梁詠琪,最後跳樓亡。
一套兩小時還不到的電影,死了四個男人,有必要嗎?男人玩女人,要面,要砌你就唔准你郁,奸詐,不講理由,自私,要自尊,這些都是<女人本色>要講的東西。你以為它還講女人的女人戲?錯了!它是貶低男人的一齣掛羊頭,賣狗肉的女人戲,想不到2007年還有人這樣 stereotype gender嗎?有很多女人戲,不抵毀男人也很好看:The Hours, Lovely and Amazing,甚至我近期最愛的 The Dead Girl也是很好的參考作品。導演戾氣太重,要男人死,你便要死,什麼女人那話兒啦,眼低手更低,phallic woman已是70年代 surrealist art 常玩的東西,不要再在這裡班門弄斧了,好嗎?
死人太多,好似睇緊韓片,亦令情節十分無稽,真的有人十年內死鄰居,死老友,死仔,死老公麽?太不現實了,跟十年回歸背境背道而馳。女人很叻麼?是,我從沒懷疑過,但戲裏的女人更是,到最後突然之間多了舊錢去開公司,最後還上了市,梁詠琪角色最叻的一句對白就是:我覺得索羅斯會狙擊港股,我哋要小心。從戲情看,完全不明白女人有什麼本色。英文名叫 Wonder Woman,套戲只會叫我wonder究竟黃大導憑什麼開戲,她正正就是那個 wonder woman- a woman who makes people wonder!女人在她的電影裏也一點也不 wonderful,因為她們的成功完全是靠 miracle。
第一次走出戲院有這感覺:As a male viewer, I am offended。
唯一可取就是阿薜,好好笑,最愛她的妙咀妙舌樣。

睡了不是太多(兩個小時吧),便起身洗澡,穿得靚靚的去見エ。該處環境很好,很清幽,宿舍也很開陽,十分寧靜,要我在那裏住也可以。到了人事部,那些女staff見有個後生的,便多談了幾句。還讚我成績好吧,那有呢?來見工的還有些鬼婆和阿叔,G2000恤衫,加女人街十蚊領帶,西褲加背囊,看來都四十多五十吧。唉,幹嗎我要和這些人爭飯食?
面試比我想像中短,問的幾乎全部都是關於中學教書時的東西,反而對我這兩年來的 MPhil 問都唔問下。心知我沒有引經據典的教學理念,所以我還不是他們的 ideal choice。走時,在口又見到那個阿叔,人事部的人見他便說:「咦,又見到你。」阿叔打圓場說:「我喜歡湊熱鬧嘛。」我心一沉:「我才担心我真的像你,pathetic。」
見エ後和朋友R在銅鑼灣吃過午餐,便到石澳灑太陽去。其實是很舒服,可惜沙灘人流較多,朋友R之前和我另一個朋友D一齊了一段時間,說到他們去過深圳住樹屋(原來深圳有樹屋的嗎?多浪漫),回想我和前度C什麼地方也沒有特別去過,海洋公園的熱氣球沒有坐上,那個3D戲院沒有去過,drive-in的outdoor影院也沒有造訪,失禮。坐在太陽傘下,抽著煙,吃著雪條,突然很想去食自助餐。平時最憎就是去飲宴和食自助餐,但今日突然很想很想。朋友C和其男友S明天就飛日本啦,他們去了多次旅行我都未去到一次,就連不被看好的朋友A和其脾氣男友N都去了次東京和澳門,我呢?
分一點福氣給我,不准留低我一個。

The Philosophy of Smoking by an Amateur Smoker
I started smoking to catch the sublime of
the moment. There’re no reasons, so don’t
ask me why. Reasons only entertained tactics
in lawsuits, not habits. This is what happened
then: the moments propelled themselves and I
moved forward with them unwillingly. Since
the first inhaling, the concept of moments
changed. Time didn’t freeze, I did. I suddenly
refused to proceed but welcomed a pause
in life. The sense of motionlessness turned into
self-deceit. My mind rumbled, but I detected an
order within the chaos. Non-smokers got
along with their time harmoniously; I had a
problem with mine. I wanted a break and I
wanted nothing. Nothing to lose. Smoking is
always a part-time job, not a full-time career.
When the moments are too heavy to contain
themselves in the smoky air, I would undo the habit.
