summer vacation

was doing ny compre and that line stuck to me. the age of james dean, the ford mustang and making out will seem, in retrospect, like what it was: a summer vacation from larger human history.

and i went to watch the mv of summer vacation by smtown. realise i could recognise fly to the sky inside. smtown is like the record company lar, but dunno if ftts is still inside. and i got the canon olympus ad "my digital story" wif jeon ji hyun inside. finally! it was from last year i tink, but i still tink its the best ad i ever seen, cos of the feeling it evokes. like a vacation.

and yes we are quite screwed now. drawing wif spurs and seeing it as a victory. 3rd consecutive draw in holland. valencia is faring slightly better, though the 2-0 defeat to sevilla is quite disappointing considering sevilla onli had 1 shot on target( own goal by ayala, can u believe it???). and that came on the back of the 2-1 win at santiago bernabeu. la liga is very close at the moment. after real lost to depor, we rose to 4th, though we haven play yet. after we lost, we dropped to 7 or something and now we drop again to 9, though we haven play yet. and so we are looking to find our footing again. gone were the days, like that summer vacation.

B'z still rock. they were from teh days of that summer vacation. went to play the cd wif their songs again. love phantom, fushidara 100%, calling, ultra soul, gold, konya tsuki no mieru oka ni, thinking of you...

was reading the papers, in particular tis article abt the ipod, or rather mp3 players in general. they have a profound social impact: dividing people. imagine two people sitting side by side in a train, listening to teh same song, but they will never noe, cos they are "plugged in". how true. it happens, i guess. and sometimes when you are wif pple on the train or bus, a hint that u dun wnat to tok is when u take out ur player. gone are the days when u blast music from a radio and share wif pple, whether or not they want it. i tink the private space is being more defined nowadays. we would frown upon such behaviour so rampant in the 60s and 70s for being inconsiderate etc etc. interesting..that something i really hold dear for keeping me company on lonely bus rides is a potential bane to democracy. technology is really a double-edged sword.
and did i mention that the writer kept referring to "that summer, this summer, summer song etc" ?

summer is a fave season i guess. lazing around. playing. and theres the summer vacation too. shu3 jia4. and i guess when pple look back on their youth, they will always tink of that summer vacation. ok, at least for pple living in countries wif the 4 seasons.

and if someone has the full version of junyang's guardian angel, please send to me. actually i onli like the starting part and the starting line. 是否记得...

apparently, i am in the mood for a lot of reminiscience and reflection.
