I Could Have It So Much Better

Alex performing in Alexandra Palace. What a perfect matching. This night was certainly unforgettable. Not because they were so cool but I was standing in the front row, in LONDON in FRANZ FERDINAND’s gig. It was nearly suicide. I admit.

I don’t know how I got to the front row. I was tiny (well, comparatively) and couldn’t control my body at all. Their performing was definitely brilliant! But most of the time I was thinking about surviving. (It was “Oh~ Gosh! Go away! Don’t! My Ribs~~ Ouch!!” instead of “Wow~ Yeah, Alex!”) The visual was great, and the media was amazing. You must see how many cameras in front of me shooting every bit of Alex and Nick. Alex looked fab on the stage. The whole show was temptating.

I was intending to write a neat article about this gig. However, my qualifying exam came, and now I an even busier than before the exam. Let me just show the pix. Most of them are blurry. The only one recoginisable was under a balance of pressure from everywhere. (Plus it was quite painful.)


This one is relatively clear, seriously. Well do you do you do you want to...


He looked nice in shirts.


So if you're lonely, You know I'm here waiting for you...
Yeah~~ It was Take Me Out!!
I say, "Don't you know?"
You say, "You don't know."
I say, "Take me out."
I filmed this one, truly a brilliant song in a live performance. The whole venue rocked.


Let me sing a song for you. He could be sensitive.
Surprisingly, they showed emotions. This was not what I expect but made thier play more interesting. It was like I saw different them.


Alright, this was the best one I've captured that nite. I caught the right moment and shot. It seemed peaceful on stage but I was fighting for living in the real life.


After the gig. Alexandra Palace is spacious. There were one screen in the middle plus two at both sides of the stage.

Queen也不開心了

Under都回家了,空蕩蕩的LMH library,大大的沒有超過五個人。在week 9要考試的人,好像只有我。圖書館很安靜,很溫暖,很舒服。但是我突然好想念自習室那種悶悶的,擁擠也鬧哄哄,很多共筆堆疊在桌上,半夜三點還是很多人在唸書的空間。筆記有缺的就走到附近的桌子去借,大家做的筆記一定都比我的好;吃完飯聊個天再繼續唸。看著我自己在上課聽老師不知所云所做的破碎字體,感覺好寂寞喔。然後,誰來阻止我當好人的欲望,還有用好奇心殺死自己的習慣,我要簡單的生活。在台灣覺得寂寞其實不孤單,在這邊覺得被包圍其實才無助。


應該完了,是祝我幸福。不知道為什麼,今天特別動人。
