Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow
Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can’t get
Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re losin’ all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late
之前在電視見到 Felix 接受「新聞透視」的訪問,見到他錄 Podcast 時桌面放著一個白色的 Blue Snowball Mic,因為我書桌和桌面上大部份文具、用品甚至桌燈都是白色系列,覺得放在我的桌面很合襯,便有點心動了。在網上做了一點資料搜集,見到這個麥克風的評價都甚高,而且聽 Felix 的錄音效果也真不錯,就決定買一台來錄 Podcast ,尤其是我一直錄音用的都是一個便宜的連咪耳機,錄音水準實在不高。
我到 Apple Store 看,他們賣 $150 ,但是卻只有銀色的。於是我便到 eBay 找,終於給我買到一個未用過的,還以底價 $50 投得!為了省下跟貨品價錢不合比例的 $25 郵遞費,我在某個下雨天的午飯時間駕車去賣家的工作地點取。他跟我說這本來是 2007 年買給女朋友的禮物,但是還來不及送給她就已經分手了,一擱下便三年,最近在雜物房找出來,他自己又沒有用,於是就把它拍賣出去。他把還留著的發票給我看,跟我說當年買的時候二百多元呢,好像有點心疼這麼便宜賣了給我一樣。
我看著包裝,雖然盒子有點陳舊,但裡面真的是未曾開封的。我把它拿回家,set up 好後,看著原來背後有這一段故事的雪球,突然想起周杰倫的《最長的電影》那一句「放映了三年,我票都還留著……」
