台北電影節 / Run Fatboy Run



差點以為明天沒電影,好險有發現,晚上看電影沒有很習慣,出來看到白天感覺比較正常,不過也N久沒有固定在看電影了,稍微對目前的固定行程有點影響(公園時間&電視時間都稍稍減少)

Wimbledon

當然還要有球囉

台北電影節 / 全然大丈夫

台北電影節 / Kebab

今天趕場,都是以巴主題,就突然很想很想吃Kebab,特別台灣的麵包烤得不夠酥脆,生菜不夠豐富,更別說沒有鹹鹹的香料跟羊乳酪,也沒有要雙手捧著隨時會滿出來的感覺(我三分鐘解決的大麥克會散落一下生菜還比較像)

這是德文系主任推薦的德國街頭名產-Kebab

IBM, Disney style?



從黑白變成彩色的時候,馬上想起 Enchanted 的卡通風格

NCIS season 5

繼去年播的快跟米國一樣快,所以停了快一個月等米國播完才再跟著播
今天米國剛結束才開始播應該是個改善吧



既然公視這麼熱情的播NCIS,那幹嘛 失蹤現場 失蹤了這般久咧?
之前大半年的東南亞片真是個災難啊

2008/06/13

Las Vegas

不是關於虛擬賭場的慾望之都或是犯罪現場的CSI...等等等的影集,不過也很連續劇了;如果想要笑,去cnbc.com搜尋Video找Jane Wells的報導,應該都還有些有趣的東西......
故事一 -賭城、玉米、豬

故事二 -馬上接著David Faber的Faber Report,update啤酒商併購新聞

故事三 -同一個新聞,再看一下David Faber呆笑

又換包裝了

印象中第三次大換裝

大概因為紙盒裝,所以25元的價錢份量算夠,也沒有像統一其他咖啡一樣太甜(就是在跟左岸比囉!)而且夠奶,所以從之前的咖啡廣場(10元鋁箔包的,喔這包裝也很會換)遷徙成嚴選素材的忠實顧客囉,不過只喝拿鐵跟摩卡,應該是只有那兩個是鮮奶調的,焦糖瑪奇多就奶粉了,不過我也很久沒去看成份了

最忠實的時候就是坐檯的那段12pm-8pm的日子,4pm的咖啡完全就是撐住剩下四個小時的最佳動力!非常感動他還沒下架!

Jamie Durie

從FT的Mrs. Moneypenny因為Chelsea Flower Show ,到許久以前The BlockJamie Durie,就這樣一篇文章連了起來......,而Tyler Brule這禮拜在"神遊"

The hottest thing at this year’s show was not a garden, but a gardener. My divorced girlfriend found me pausing to draw breath between CEOs and insisted that I accompany her to see the Australian garden. As her company was sponsoring a (different) garden she had been there all afternoon showing it to the Queen, the press and sundry others. She had therefore also had a chance to spot other highlights of the flower show. I explained that I wasn’t really there to see the gardens. No, she explained, it was not the garden that she wanted me to inspect but the garden designer.

Just to shut her up I followed DG to this garden, where two men were waiting to receive visitors. I marched up to them and started to explain that I was there because my friend wanted me to meet the handsomest man at the show, and please could they tell me which of them it was so that I could shake his hand and then get on with my networking. I got about halfway through that before I looked into the eyes of Jamie Durie and realised why I was there.

Now, as I explained to him, I had never heard of Jamie Durie. I am not interested in gardening and although I visit Australia and the US reasonably regularly I have no idea who is presenting TV gardening shows in these countries. I have also never watched the Oprah Winfrey show, where Jamie appeared to some acclaim. We have a version of Jamie Durie in the UK, Alan Titchmarsh – though I can’t imagine my 40-something girlfriends salivating over him in the way DG was over Jamie. Neither can I imagine Alan Titchmarsh ever working as a male stripper, as Jamie did in his youth. He led the Manpower revue, an Australian version of the Chippendales, before setting up his garden design company in 1996. He is serious eye candy, and also very entertaining to talk to, if a bit young for me (he was 38 last Tuesday). Plus, as HRH the Duke of Edinburgh discovered, he knows a thing or two about plants.

Jamie’s fellow garden host at the time I met him was Julian Brady, the general manager of his company, Patio. Julian, if you are reading this, you are not bad-looking either, but you need to update the awards on your website. Jamie’s garden won a gold medal at Chelsea. (Question for the royal horticultural society: how many of your judges are female and have a pulse?)

The Block第一季在台灣的旅遊生活頻道(或其前身)播了至少三、四次,而我至少看了兩次,並且怨嘆為啥沒播第二季,到澳洲玩耍還買了原聲帶喔(here come's anothor one...La La La...),不過很有自知之明的沒有買DVD回來積灰塵

雖然今天又沒太陽了,但看著電視、翻著報紙,繼續能感受昨天不小心炫燿的最近的一種自己在 的感覺......

Mrs. Moneypenny用FT/pink pages的顏色形容香檳(end of the second paragraph)

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's......

長長的睫毛怎麼長?打針可以長?像塗睫毛膏一樣擦藥長?

Botox(肉毒桿菌)的製造者Allergan利用治療青光眼(glaucoma)藥物的配方發現可以刺激睫毛增長的新藥,打算向米國FDA申請......

Michael O'Leary

聽他講話口音就很特色了,跟他O'Leary那可以很繞的姓很搭,雖然論調都沒變過,但每季財報都還是跑遍CNN、BBC、CNBC接受採訪,很上相又健談

Michael O'Leary: (關於冬季停飛飛機以減低運能) ...the important thing is that's not due to higher oil prices, it's due to very high airport cost. In place regulated monopoly like Stansted and Dublin where you have idiot regulator rubber-stamping price increases in the face of all economic reality. We are looking forward to the Competition Commission report later this year which I think will recommend the breakup of BAA monopoly. And it's the the other side of the high oil prices, high oil price does focus on the industry, on some of these crazy costs: monopoly airports - they are gone; all this environmental taxation rubbish that has been prated on and about by European Commission last year - now they gotta deal with the reality of bankrupt airlines all over Europe. I think everybody has seen the end of this environmental tittle-tattle and frankly I'm delighted.

Louisa Bojesen: That would be one view of that, I have a lot of...

Michael O'Leary: Always the optimist!

Food !

International House of Pancakes(IHOP) changes its name to DineEquity, CEO Julia Stewart on CNBC. 熱烈的食物討論啊!

------

Becky Quick: Julia, what do you hedge? I've heard people hedging chickens before, but beyond that, I mean can you hedge dairy pricess, oil prices?

Julia Stewart: Sure, you can hedge oil, which is a big deal for us, you can hedge some of the protein, it really... to be candid with you, in the case of IHOP, when you have wheat batter, we have wheat, we've accomadated pricing, we've been able to do that, it's really been smart for us. Now you know you can't do that forever, but I think the timing and the sequecing has really been in our favor.

Joe Kernen: Can you hedge those little sausages that go into the little pigs in the blacket you make at the IHOP, Julia? ...

Julia Stewart: Ha ha ha, you can certainly try!

------

Joe Kernen:... What do you mean by world's largest full service? Yam is the biggest I think, isn't it? And then it's the McDonald's, isn't it?

Julia Stewart: They may be big in fast food, but we are the largest in world in term of sit-down full service restaurant.

Carl Quintanilla: Full service, meaning you serve...

Becky quick: Meaning a waitress come to...

Julia Stewart: Right, right...

Joe Kernen: OK, and largest in portion I think...





Joe Kernen: Tough interview for me to sit through... I'm thinking of the menu with the IHOP, you just keep turning, and the pictures

Carl Quintanilla: Yeah...I want that...that

Joe Kernen: Their liminated pictures, and you just keep turning, and there's more, and you turn again, and there's more, and there's crepes, there's strawberries...

Carl Quintanilla: ...the waitress is like "are you ready to order now, sir, or should I give you a couple of more minutes?"

Joe Kernen: ...and breakfast, I mean...

特效音: Get in my belly!
