分享是好事?

原本以為她的第二張專輯延續了上一張的特色還是那「一口濃濃的英國腔+自言自語+輕快節奏」，聽著聽著想著「完了又一個定了型的人」，沒想到沒想多久，第三首 Don't You Want To Share The Guilt? 馬上吸引我的注意。剛開始以為又在講她和她男友的事，接著覺得應該是閨中密友的閒聊，後來才發現原來是「第一人稱複數」(為何都是24個? 像比利?)或是之類的問題，原來她是人紅太快以至在結束巡迴演出後出現情感崩潰(proper breakdown)後來竟出現強迫症行為(OCD)。這首歌裡她神經質的念白愈來愈快的節奏和引人入勝的情境，加上 Suede 前吉他手的伴奏，果然讓整首歌從3:30開始有感起來，唉呀，是不是我也有24個?

另外，居然有人問到烏克麗麗的和弦，有趣。


Don't You Want To Share The Guilt?
Kate Nash

BBQ food is good
You invite me out to eat it, I should...
Go, but I'm feeling kind of nervous
And not quite myself
So I'm running late on purpose
And I know this won't help
How things have become between us
But if I go you'll give me hell
And that I don't know how to fix it
Is making me unwell,
Well

I arrive at your house
But you've just got up
And you are wearing a towel
And your eyes look dark
I help to dry your body
And I see your cut
So I give you a plaster
And we cover it up
I say "Have you been crying?"
And you say "Shut Up"
So we sit in the garden
And touch the grass
With our hands

The sun is going down now
And it's been okay
You tell me all these things you did
While I was away
And this worries me somewhat

You say you're fine

Listen
Can you hear it?
Does it speak?
Will I feel it?
Will it hurt?
Am I near it?
I don't know

I don't know how more people haven't got mental health problems
Thinking is one of those stressful things I've ever come across
And not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy
I think I should try and read more books
And learn some new words
My sister used to read the dictionary
I'm going to start with that
I'd like to travel
I want to see India and the pyramids
A whale and that race with all the bicycles in France
I'm not sure about rivers, they scare me
But I love swimming, I'm good at it
And when I swim I count the laps and this helps me relax
When I was younger I saw a house burnt down
And I walked past it for the next six years
Derelict, black, chalky and dangerous
I wondered if squatters lived there
I'm still not sure but I know there were never any parties cuz it was shit hole
After a while the council got round to tidying out the town
Making it less offensive here and there
They said it was an eyesore so they let tore it down
Behind the house was a wall with a few bits of crappy graffiti and the word 'Cunt' written on it in giant letters
And now I walk past that

I like sitting in the park
And I like walking through it
I like taking my dogs there
And friends, and I like being alone
I like being able to shout
But I wish I could be quiet
When I'm quiet people think I'm sad
And usually I am

Sometimes when I'm at a busy train station
Somewhere big with the noisy trains like King's Cross
I feel like putting down my bags and shouting things out because I've got something to say
Don't you want to share the guilt?
Don't think, just try and sleep

哇，喘口氣，讀讀字典吧。

美劇專注力報告

以前家裡既沒電視機又沒沙發椅，看影集總是對著小小的電腦螢幕，也過了一些年。今年終於有了電視機和像是沙發但不是沙發的長椅，終於可以好好坐在長椅上看「電視」啦，於是最近養成了在看電視時練習盤腿的習慣，才發現不是每部影集都適合拿來做這種半自虐的事哦。

以近期在追的美劇來說，通常能讓人專心的劇情片像 The Good Wife 是最適合達到忘我的境界，The Big C 因為女主角過人的演技，也算不錯的選擇，而 Breaking Bad 有點拖泥帶水的形式，則比較不太適合。Dexter 從這一季(第七季)開始，又漸漸走入死胡同，尤其過份討論基督教裡較為血腥的部分，讓沒有宗教信仰的人特別容易恍神，所以不宜。

至於以單元劇形態演出的 CSI，端看單集的主題，有毒蟲和連續殺人狂出現的集數較能讓我專心，其餘則否，尤其在 LV 和 NY 的頭頭又再度換人的情況下，實在引不起我的興趣。

至於喜劇影集則完全不適合，看到別人愈快樂會愈覺得自己的悲苦，所以縱容女主角縱容到天荒地老的 Weeds 絕對不行，劇情總是無聊到爆的 Rizzoli & Isles 和即將接近尾聲的 The Closer，都讓人無法異常專心地超過五分鐘，可惜啊可惜。

話說回來， The Closer 最近有起死回生認真起來的驅勢，尤其第七季第十四集的酒鴐闖禍，在這年關時分，特別發人深省。
