Due to the strike held by the Writer Guild of America is still going on, this year's Golden Globe Award was forced to cancel the annual dinner ball, and only announced the recipients on the press conference.

Lifetime Atonement／用一生贖罪
(↑Click to the Official Website↑)
（↑去看看中文官網吧↑）
自從幾個月前知道《贖罪》的消息，泰咪便一直蠻期待這部改編自伊恩麥克伊旺 Ian McEwan 同名暢銷小說的作品。然而台灣的上映日期似乎一改再改，從去年底到現在，總算在 1/11 與觀眾見面了！
故事發生在1935年英格蘭氣溫最高的一天。
二次大戰的陰影漸漸逼近，而13歲的白昂妮塔利斯 Briony Tallis（莎柔絲羅南Saoirse Ronan飾）與家人在維多利亞哥德式的豪宅中，過著優渥的生活。他們全家一起共度週末時，長久以來壓抑的情緒因為酷熱逐漸浮上台面，形成一股令人不安的威脅與危險。
白昂妮是初出茅廬的作家，這位少女擁有豐富的想像力。在一連串的重大誤會後，她指責管家的兒子，姊姊西希莉雅 Cecillia（綺拉奈特莉Keira Knightley飾）的情人羅比透納 Robbie Turner（詹姆斯麥艾維James McAvoy飾）犯下一樁他沒有做過的罪行。這份指責毀了羅比與西希莉雅的戀情，並且讓每個人的生活驟變。
《贖罪》的敘事方式較異於一般電影，正、倒敘及不同時間、空間的交錯，是個蠻有趣的手法，顯現出 Briony 所看到及自行想像放大的片面、與事實的差距。
而坐在電影院看這部戲的觀眾呢？以為看了大半部片子，都已清楚故事發展？最後逐漸顯現的事實是否和你的認知相同？
片中一段男主角 Robbie 環顧整片英軍等待撤軍的海岸，導演 Joe Wright (喬萊特) 堅持採一鏡到底拍攝。超過五分鐘的這幕戲裡，廣闊的海灘上，各個角色的時間及動作均須配合得天衣無縫！為了這場戲，所有人員花了一整天時間排演，最後結果的確令人震懾，加上恰如其分的動人配樂，心情都隨著 Robbie 的情緒而起伏....
.....年幼時的錯誤指責，不僅徹底改變三人的命運，更得用一生來贖罪.....

到底為什麼
做甲流汗
到頭來
依舊被嫌甲流涎
Uncle Sam
You probably won't benefit much from this either
要不是沒如此大能耐
老早就想放下一切
離開這紛擾之地了.....

A Week Passed
年底放了十幾天的大假後，新年一開始上班，果然就有一大堆的事要忙啊....
上班前一天，泰咪還特別先發動了一會兒機車，因為車子也睡了超過一星期囉～果然一開始也是花了一點時間才把它叫醒呢！
隔天早上剛騎出門的前10秒鐘，還覺得和泰咪的機車有點陌生、騎起來不太順。一陣子沒騎，感覺都生疏啦！呵～
還好工作了三天以後，快樂的週末很快的又再度來臨囉～ ^_^Y
After more than 10 days of year-end vacation, lots of works awaits me just as expected....
Since Tammy's motorbike had slept for over 1 week, I specially started the engine to warm it up before the next working day. You know what? It really took me a while waking it up!
In the next morning when Tammy left for office, I kept feeling my motorbike didn't work well with me at the first 10 seconds. Guess it was unfamiliar with Tammy after the long vacation... ha~
Luckily, after the 3 busy working days, happy weekend comes again!! ^^

Dream Come True (sort of...)
多年的願望，總算得以實現！....雖然只是以另一種型式啦... XD
由太陽馬戲團知名戲碼「Mystère」、「O」的導演 Franco Dragone 自行成立的公司 DRAGONE 所創作，世紀天后席琳狄翁在拉斯維加斯的秀「A NEW DAY...」，一直是泰咪很希望能親臨觀賞的表演。然而，自2003年3月首唱以來，原本預定演出三年的秀，在全球觀眾的佳評如潮下，直至延長到今年12月15日的謝幕最終場，泰咪始終沒有恰當的機會能親自一睹這700場次全數售罄、超過300萬人參與的盛會....畢竟台灣到美國是段不短的旅程呀....
在兩片DVD、全長五小時的內容裡，除了完整的演唱會實況，更包含了席琳對歌迷的感謝、幕後全紀錄、及演唱會台上台下的秘密等，讓觀眾全方位透視演出幕前幕後。
泰咪本想直接從美國購買這套DVD，以泰咪目前找到的最低售價，加上將近商品價格80％的快遞運費後，竟然還比台灣便宜約一成左右耶～若選擇以一般郵局包裹寄送則差更多！但.... 考慮到泰咪爸媽需要中文字幕（雖然他們去賭城親身體驗過席琳的 Live 魅力了），還是得忍痛買台版囉....
P.S. 凱撒宮飯店當初特地為席琳所興建的表演場地 ─「羅馬競技場」真是很不得了啊，比賭城裡一般秀場更多的座位、寬廣的舞台、舞台背景逼真的超大LED螢幕.... 只有嘆為觀止能形容了！
My dream for years has finally come true! ....Well, sort of....
Created by DRAGONE(*), Celine Dion's live in Las Vegas - "A NEW DAY..." had always been one of the performances Tammy wanted to see. However, since the first show started in March 2003, this 3-year commitment had even been extended until the very last performance on 15 December this year, Tammy still didn't get the chance to see this smash hit in person... (journey to the US isn't an easy plan after all...)
In this 2 DVD set contains the show itself, 3 exclusive documentaries : travel to Las Vegas with the fans - join Celine at home, in her car, in her dressing room, and even backstage. More than 5 hours of never-before-seen footage to let the fans get the full access to Celine's performance.
Tammy was thinking to buy this DVD online through the US. As the lowest price I've found, plus the priority shipping fee which equals 80% cost of DVD itself, it's still about 10% cheaper than in Taiwan! Not to mention it'll even lower if choosing standard shipment. But, considering Tammy's parents need the Mandarin sustitle (though they'd seen this show in Vegas personally), I cannot help but buy the TW edition with higher price....
P.S. The Colosseum @ Caesars Palace, the arena specially built for Celine's show, is really amazing! More seats than the regular performance hall in Vegas, spacious stage, super huge & lifelike LED background screen.... THE COLOSSEUM IS AWESOME!!!
*DRAGONE is the show production company formed by Franco Dragone, the director of Cirque Du Soleil's "Mystère" & "O" etc.

Gift／店長からのプレゼント
聖誕節當天，泰咪妹2号打工的咖啡店店長得知泰咪媽在大阪，特地準備了一 "大" 包小西點＆蛋糕送給泰咪媽！（別懷疑，真的是一大包，如果用買的應該也得花不少...）
日本人真的很愛過西方的聖誕節，據泰咪妹說當天店裡除了預約的客人，購買外帶小點心的人潮更是絡繹不絕，讓她忙到腿軟！要不是一早去就先預留一塊 Xmas cake 要給泰咪媽，晚上下班時冰櫃早就空空如也啦～
On Xmas day, Rei's boss(*) prepared a "BIG" bag of cakes & cookies for her when she knew Tammy's mom is in Osaka! (Believe me, it's really not small, probably cost quite some if buying all...)
Japanese really like this traditional western holiday. Except the customers who had made the reservations, Rei said the stream of people bought cakes to go never stopped, too! If she didn't keep a Xmas cake for mom in the morning, the freezer would had been empty at the end of that day!
(*Rei is Tammy's little sister who works part-time at a cafe)
