記憶記憶

The touch-up effect my friend used on her smartphone is called "Grace". 
I don't have such even-toned skin, not now, not ever.

悠閑的三天假日。


                                  ★★★★ 4/5

Read The Black Echo (Michael Connelly), the first Harry Bosch novel in the series.  Like Tess Gerritsen, Connelly is another writer whose books I'll keep on reading.  Not sure if this is just a phase with me, but lately I seem to be partial to "gritty writing", and Connelly certainly falls in that category.  I like the subdued masculinity, the lean and sinewy undertone that his words exude.  There is something sensual about it.  The story itself is carefully constructed and masterfully laid out with a controlled pace.  All in all, many experienced writers don't write this well, and this is only Connelly's first novel (albeit a long time reporter). 

看了“漢語橋”的紐約區比賽,超精彩的。

Watched The Big Lebowski, another Coen/Coen.  So far I've loved every Coen/Coen film.  The Big Lebowski probably ranks the highest among all the Coen/Coen I've seen so far.  I haven't seen Fargo yet.  There is an inexplicable tenderness to their films, something along the lines of "women being saviors and men being in need of saving".

Watched Being John Malkovich, didn't care for it very much.
