On This Winter's Night




歌詞
This winter's night

Stars shine like silver bells
This winter's night 
The mistletoe won't kiss and tell 
Snowflakes fall like frosting 
And I sit on the street 
Strangers look like neighbors 
With every smile that you meet 

But here in my arms I'll keep you warm 
And hold you tight 
On this winter's night 
(We'll look back on the year) 
On this winter's night 
(We'll count our blessings) 
On this Winter's night 
We will remember 

This winter's night 
Icicle lights will trim the tree 
This winter's night 
Wrapped a present or two for you and me 
Tuck our children into bed 
And dream the night away 
Til' the sun dawns in the morning 
With the joy of Christmas day 

But here in my arms I'll keep you warm 
And hold you tight 
On this winter's night 
(We'll look back on the year) 
On this winter's night 
(We'll count our blessings) 
On this Winter's night 
We will remember 

The wisemen heard the angels sing 
Hymn-like soft and low 
The king became a child a long long time ago 
And the child became a king 
So the whole wide world will know 
What christmas really is

The Lonely Island - Sax Man

我實在太喜歡這首歌了...
但每次都要找一下,所以決定直接蒐藏起來!

[開箱] Canon SELPHY CP800

不知道從哪一年開始,出國時都會買當地的風景明信片寄給親朋好友。
幾年前,心裡開始有一種念頭「既然出國都會拍當地方風景,雖然自己拍的風景也許沒有當地購買的明信片漂亮,但是如果能夠用自己拍的照片當明信片寄給朋友那好像更有趣!」

幾年下來,一直沒有決心購買行動式相片印表機來實現這個想法。
直到這次在澳洲機場免稅商店中看到了一台標價54澳幣的「Canon SELPHY CP800」。


其實,當初在澳洲機場看到標價54澳幣還是下不了手,回到台灣後上網查了一下發現台灣的售價約5,000台幣,所以馬上發了訊息請還在澳洲的學弟回台灣時幫我帶一台回來。(所以說人就是喜歡貪小便宜...)

開箱後,有簡易英文說明書、軟體光碟和4X6的紙閘(台灣版好像會多付一組Card Size紙閘)。


主體出現啦,英文版的介面,右上角附上能源之星貼紙。


既然是澳洲版的,插頭當然也是澳洲版的,所以需要萬用街頭轉接。


正前方有記憶卡插槽,左側也有USB插槽和藍芽接頭(選購;可透過藍芽列印手機上的照片)。
下方打開後是安裝紙閘的槽。


正後方打開後是電池(選購)插槽。因為目前還沒有行動列印需求,所以還沒購買電池。


右側打開後是色帶插槽。


機器內沒有附色帶和相紙,所以另外在台灣購買了Canon KP-108IN,收到後發現好大一盒。


打開後裡面包含3隻色帶和6包相紙(每包18張,共108張),據說色帶和相紙的量是剛剛好的。這代表1隻色帶只可以印2包相紙(共36張)。如果以我購買的價格來看,印1張照片約8.6元,其實不便宜。


將右側的色帶插槽蓋子打開就可以看到色帶的插槽。


色帶插上去後的樣子。


接下來是紙閘,說明書說一次只能放入18張相紙(也就是1包的量)。


外蓋打開才能與CP800主體連接。


開機後可以看到LCD畫面(跟SONY的DPP-F700比,尺寸小且解析度低~)
右下角會顯示紙閘的型態(共有三種,分別是4X6、3X5與Card Size)。


記憶卡接上去後,就會出現選擇照片的畫面,基本上可以一次選擇列印多張照片,每張照片可以選擇想要的列印數量。似乎也可以在一張相紙上列印多張照片,這個功能我還沒試過。
為了測試這台澳洲機,我選擇了考拉(Koala)來列印。


不知道是不是因為我的記憶卡容量是32G,所以按下列印且畫面出現了Busy之後,等了約15秒才開始列印。


熱昇華的方式,是4種顏色一層一層疊上去。
第1個顏色是黃色。


第2個顏色是紅色,已經可以看到清楚的紅色考拉。


第3個顏色是藍色,其實已經接近成品了。


第4個顏色是黑色,列印完成。看了一下品質還OK,但還是有一些雜點。
列印後,將相紙上下邊界撕掉後就是1張4X6的照片了。


下次出國就可以用Canon SELPHY CP800自己製作明信片了!!!
(如果我沒有懶得背它出國的的話...)

Carole King - It's too late


歌詞
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and
I can't hide it I just can't fake it
Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
It's too late my baby
