上学的时候对我来说最痛苦的时候就是在寒冷的冬天早起，我在温暖的被子里挣扎得死去活来的时候，老妈就会说：起来啦，再坚持一年，考上大学就可以睡懒觉了。上大学时是睡的不少，毕业的时候还落了个“觉主”的名号。只是风水轮流转，为了温饱养活自己，要早起，而且还起的更早，频繁出差的日子都是顶着星光出门，睡眼惺忪的穿行于机场，火车站，恨不得是站着都能睡着，对移民官和空姐的问话，只用‘yes'和'no’。可是今天行不通，火车回来的时候改道加晚点，问列车员什么时候到站，但不论我问什么，人家一律用法语回答，而且态度诚恳，好像我肯定能听懂似的，换一个人问，一样的情形，让我再一次领略到法语的强大，而且是在国际列车上，国际不就代表英语不，还是我错了？ 郁闷得和同事们在车上的酒吧狂灌饮料，聊度假，过去的，计划的还有那些永远不可能实现的。倒让我想起最近看的一部老片<The Holiday>, 浪漫爱情小品----太高深的东西我最近消化不了。

剧情简单，还有俗套的圣诞元素，但贵在精致可爱，也许是因为改编自舞台剧的原因，里面的台词，每句都喜欢，四位主演飙戏也非常精彩，Jude Law 简直帅到爆，但在英国怎么从来都没有见过长这样的呢。推荐大家去看看，会有惊喜的。

Arthur Abbott: Iris, in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.

Iris: It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.
