前两天观看了由Elton John B编曲，Tim Rice作词的音乐剧　《Aida》。 虽然是非专业团体的演出，但歌者的声音，唱工和舞台表演一点也不逊色百老汇的演出．第一次看音乐剧，就被深深地吸引了，算是给我打开了另一扇音乐之门．凄美的爱情故事，婉转的歌声，生动的表演，是这出音乐剧的成功元素．尤其喜欢里面的两首歌《Fortune Favors the Brave》《How I Know You》。

关于这个故事，转载了Wikipedia的介绍：

Act I

In the Egyptian wing of a modern museum, a man and a woman touring the exhibit catch each other's eyes. A statue of Amneris, a female Pharaoh, comes to life ("Every Story is a Love Story"). Amneris transports us to ancient Egypt, where Radames, captain of the Egyptian army, and his men are returning from an expedition through the land of Nubia, Egypt's long-time enemy ("Fortune Favors the Brave"). When his soldiers capture a group of Nubian women, he is captivated by one of the women, Aida, who tries to free herself by out-dueling one of his soldiers. He forces her to wash his back, but she refuses, saying that although the Egyptians took everything from the Nubians, they will never take their pride ("The Past Is Another Land"). Radames saves her and the other women from the copper mines by sending them to the palace groundskeeper instead, but sends Aida as a handmaiden to his betrothed, Princess Amneris. Radames' father, Chief Minister Zoser, greets his son with news that the Pharaoh is dying, and Radames must prepare to become the next ruler of Egypt ("Another Pyramid"). Unbeknownst to Radames, his father is poisoning the Pharaoh in order to accelerate Radames' ascension to the throne.

Radames' Nubian servant, Mereb, is a young man who has learned the tricks of survival in Egypt. While delivering Aida to the princess, Mereb recognizes her as the daughter of the Nubian king under whom he'd served during his days in Nubia. She commands him to keep her identity a secret, lest the Egyptians kill her ("How I Know You"). Presented to Amneris, Aida is liked immediately, and she perceives that the Princess' love of fashion only serves as a mask of her insecurities ("My Strongest Suit"). At a banquet, Amneris and Radames learn from the Pharaoh that they are to marry in seven days, leaving the captain distraught that his days as an explorer have ended ("Fortune Favors the Brave (Reprise)"*). Together, he and Aida share their dreams and regrets ("Enchantment Passing Through").

Later that night, Amneris worries about her father's illness, and finds in Aida someone who understands and encourages her ("My Strongest Suit (Reprise)"). Bursting into his fiancée's chamber, Radames steals a moment with Aida to share his growing attraction to her. Aida is taken by Mereb to the Nubian camp, where she submits to her people's pleas to lead them ("Dance of the Robe"). When she implores Radames to help the Nubians, he opens his heart by giving his possessions to them ("Not Me") and declaring his love for her ("Elaborate Lives"). Unable to fight her feelings any longer, she falls into his embrace. Their bliss is interrupted by news that Radames' armies have captured Amonasro, king of Nubia and Aida's father. Unable to comfort her, Radames leaves Aida in distress. Rallying her people, Aida assures them that Nubia will never die ("The Gods Love Nubia").

Act II

Aida, Amneris, and Radames are entangled in conflicted loyalties and emotions ("A Step Too Far"). Aida and Mereb bribe their way into Amonasro's prison cell, where she's reunited with her father. Mereb hatches a plan to escape with the king during the commotion of Amneris' wedding. To save her father and her nation, Aida must betray the man she loves ("Easy as Life"). Meanwhile, Zoser discovers Radames' affair and warns his son that it could cost him the throne, but Radames no longer shares his father's ambitions ("Like Father, Like Son"). After an emotional bout with his son, Zoser orders his men to find Aida and kill her.

At the Nubian camp, Aida receives a written apology from Radames for the thoughtless way he acted upon hearing of Amonasro's capture ("Radames' Letter"). When Egyptian soldiers arrive seeking Aida, another Nubian, Nehebka, sacrifices herself so that the princess can live. Now even more determined to leave Radames forever, Aida goes to say good-bye to him over Mereb's objections ("How I Know You (Reprise)"). Radames informs Aida that he's calling off the wedding. Aida knows that this would ruin her father's escape and tells him he must go through with it ("Written in the Stars"). Radames agrees, on condition that she escapes to freedom on a boat he will provide. The heartbroken lovers part, but Amneris has overheard their entire conversation and tries to face the fact that her upcoming marriage is a sham ("I Know the Truth").

News of Amonasro's escape disrupts Amneris' wedding. Radames learns the truth of Aida's identity when he arrives at the docks just as she's about to board his boat with her father. Although he is angry that Aida hid this from him, she says she never lied about loving him. In the ensuing chaos, Mereb slays an attacking guard but is mortally wounded by Zoser, and Radames makes possible Amonasro's escape by cutting the rope tied to the dock, but Aida stays with Radames and a dying Mereb. Zoser flees, and Mereb dies in the arms of his kind master and beloved princess. Radames and Aida are then arrested for treason. At the ensuing trial, Pharaoh announces of Zoser's apprehension and sentences both Aida and Radames to be buried alive. Amneris reprises her role as future Pharaoh by convincing her father to let the lovers die in the same tomb, an act of mercy for two people she has come to love. Facing death, Aida looks to Radames for strength ("Elaborate Lives (Reprise)"). As they are slowly deprived of light and air ("Enchantment Passing Through (Reprise)"), Radames swears he will search through a hundred lifetimes to find her again.

Back in the contemporary museum, the spirit of Amneris reveals that as she became Pharaoh, the lovers' death gave birth to a reign of peace between Egypt and Nubia. She watches as the modern man and woman are strangely drawn to each other. They are the reincarnations of Aida and Radames, finding each other in a new beginning ("Every Story is a Love Story (Reprise)").

这里的天气,还真是多变的一塌糊涂,在国内已是初夏的五月,这里今早却下起了雪来. 清早起来,发现窗外的车子被白雪覆盖了,见此情景,突然间兴奋了一秒, 随后变从嘴里冒出了一句: "Stupid Weather!'. 是的,太不正常了,都忘了自己身处何处了. 我还听说,这里曾经6月飞雪, 很是夸张.记下一笔,留个纪念!

一个很有才情的闺蜜在我的qq里发了这么一首小诗，不管是她转载的，还是她亲手写的，反正说到了我的心坎上。发上来，一起分享。

《好姐妹》
每天忙呀忙 对未来多向往
我们在不同地方
努力要活出自己的光芒
有时会失望 有时为爱迷惘
当现实让人受伤
可是我们学会要更坚强
一起梦 一起飞
我们是好姐妹
为幸福感动掉泪
你最了解我想要的安慰
一起笑 一起醉
我们是好姐妹
要为这友情干杯
 这一路上有你多么可贵
我们是好姐妹
 这感情多可贵
看
这世界会下雨
受了伤会哭泣
生命 有高有低
可是我从没想过要放弃
因为身边有你 在给我鼓励
你是我最好的姐妹

有点郁闷，刚得知姐姐去日本玩得计划泡汤了，还白白损失了一大笔钱，原因就是那个可笑的杭州市教育局，为了配合什么国际动漫展，竟然破天荒的把早就定好的春假日期，硬是临时做了调整。本来，盼望着五一长假可以好好休息散心的老师们，就因为某些领导为了迎合上级，朝令夕改，而不得不回到工作岗位上，外加赔偿大笔违约金给旅行社。这真是让我领教了政府的威力，可以随心所欲地修改法令，而不顾群众的实际需要，如果法令可以这么轻易地改变，那它的威严何在？又如何让百姓信服？滑稽阿！万分同情我们这些人民的园丁！

因为喜欢《叶子》这首歌，所以也知道了阿桑这个歌手，今天，她像一片叶子般，飘到了遥远的天堂。34岁，乳腺癌夺走了年轻的生命，听到这个消息， 有一点点难过，于是开始不停反复地听《叶子》这首歌。

《叶子》

叶子　是不会飞翔的翅膀
翅膀　是落在天上的叶子
天堂　原来应该不是妄想
只是我早已经遗忘
当初怎么开始飞翔
孤单　是一个人的狂欢
狂欢　是一群人的孤单
爱情　原来的开始是陪伴
但我也渐渐地遗忘
当时是怎样有人陪伴
我一个人吃饭　旅行　到处走走停停
也一个人看书　写信　自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里
就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你

 

阿桑，一路走好，在天堂的那端，希望不再像叶子般飘零。

3月20日，似乎不是个什么吉利的日子，一大早的，路面太滑，疏忽地我在转了九十度之后，侧着硬是撞上了路边的yield sign. 幸好人没事，只是车子受损了．具有讽刺意义的是，今天是开春的第一天，正开心着冬天过去了，路况将大为改善的时候，就出了这码子事情，咳，看来还是不能放松警惕啊．直到现在还心有余悸，那惊险的场面还时不时地在脑海里闪现，真有几分动作片里汽车横扫路面的架势．提醒开车的人，小心驶得万年船．
