I got my order, CD and DVD of Beyond sold at Yahoo auction online,at last.
7 for 3000 yen(27 US$). It's a good buy!
Because this shop always wrapped up the package with a poster/calender of Hong Kong star, I opened it carefully so as not to tear.

OMG. It was the lower half of the body of Nicholas Tse, the lower half part of the poster of" Release"!! it was insensitive of them to cut his poster in half!
*sigh Who is the lucky customer who got Nic's upper half?

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!
Happy Beijing Olympic Opening Day!!!!!!!!!

"Norwegian Wood ", the best selling novel by Haruki Murakami, is made into a movie at last! It was purblished in 1987 and has translated in 50 countries. it is a nostalgic love story of loss and reborn in college students in late 1960s(when most students protest against the government orders) I think some tastes are like 王家衛s early films.As for the first edition, the vivid red and the green binding were impressive! It became the talk for us at cafe after work. It was amazing, even Hiroko had the first edition.(hmmm...my question is how old was she in 1987?) Actually she is a book warm, keeping many valuable books. (check her blog http://www.alivenotdead.com/satohiroko )
Some AnD friends told me that Haruki was their favorite writer. Thanks, but...to tell the truth, I had lost interest in his novels after "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle". However i can say "Norwegian Wood " was surely my favorite.

Well,the film will be directed by Tran Anh Hung, well known with "The Scent of Green Papaya"(1993),"Cyclo"(1995), "I Come with the Rain(2008)" and etc as you know. It says that Haruki agreeded to make it by Tran Anh Hung after the negotiations from 2004. Though the cast and all staff members are undecided, the director hopes to get some japanese actors and to shoot in japan. hmmmm... Who is the right man for the role of Watanabe-kun? Naoko? Kizuki? I should reread it in my bookshelf to think about the actors fitting to be.
Have you ever read Haruki's novel?

I enjoyed the BBQ at my friend's apartment house on Monday night. It was a holiday and more than 60 people were coming. Because the rooms were full, I was on the terrace with the guys who took on the role of cook. A banker from US, a scrīptwriter from India and so on. Actually they were very nice! Needless to say i promoted AnD to all!!


It was a sultry night. and was thirsty with talking a lot. So seemed to drink anything I could get my hands on ; beer, red wine, champagne, brown tea's liqueur, Shaoxing wine, just like drinking water. coming home in a good mood, I went to bed at once with my eyes heavy with drink.
As a result, got a hangover in the morning!!!!!! was hasy and didnt feel like getting about too much. in a bad mood all day~~~
. It says "二日酔い(futsuka Yoi) "in Japanese langage.I dont know about medical reason, but the headache surely becomes worse, if you take "Miso Soup" in the next morning (Miso soup is in commonfor breakfast).
Well, could you tell me any remedy?
PS Maggie, now you see what the word ‘hangover' means lol
