Blaqk Audio
Now spinning in my CD player is 'CexCells'. I did appreciate Blaqk Audio but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I did appreciate Blaqk Audio but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
There is a lot to discover.
What do you think?

'Where the Truth Lies': a decent movie
Yesterday I went to the movies and saw 'Where the Truth Lies' and I thought it
was cool. If you like this genre you should see 'Where the Truth Lies'.
A journalist (Lohman) schemes to discover the truth behind a long-buried incident that affected the lives of a 50s showbiz duo (Bacon and Firth).
Atom Egoyan's direction was just okay.
I won't say it's a masterpiece.
'In Her Shoes': terrific
Yesterday I saw In Her Shoes. Simply stunning movie. The story of the movie is basically like this. Straight-laced Rose (Collette) breaks off relations with her party girl sister, Maggie (Diaz), over an indiscretion involving Rose's boyfriend. The chilly atmosphere is broken with the arrival of Ella (MacLaine), the grandmother neither sister knew existed.
The dialog of 'In Her Shoes' is just brilliant.
I'm definitely going to buy the DVD when it comes out!
Prince's 'Planet Earth'
This morning I downloaded 'Planet Earth', the new Prince album. I really like
RNB. It wasn't for lack of exposure - Dick is a huge fan. It's strange that I didn't dig the music earlier.
I feel almost stupid for any negative first impressions I had.

Self-pity
Envy is not nice but I can find my purpose.
Oh self-pity
I asked why Dick wouldn't even acknowledge my presence but it should have been
said in a better way. I just need to be more careful with the things I say.

'Where the Truth Lies': a great movie
John and I saw a screening of 'Where the Truth Lies' yesterday and it was just
fabulous. I disagree with everyone who said they were disappointed with it!
Atom Egoyan did a phenomenal job and the dialog of 'Where the Truth Lies' is absolutely phenomenal as well.
Don't be swayed by the nay-sayers! I sat spell bound for the entire evening.

At the office today
Oh well, Hank told me that the new strategy is paying off. I am supposed to
stick to the original plan for CGB MultiTech. I was told that I have to keep
working on the CGB MultiTech and cannot start with NetSoft tomorrow. Rumours
say that I am supposed to write a document on NetSoft. Anyway. This morning I
was briefed that CGB MultiTech is going as planned. I am going to deal with
NetSoft, so I was told. We don't have a choice. I could have tomorrow off. I won't get a day off until next Thurday. Maybe I'll get a raise.

New Blaqk Audio
'CexCells' has been in and out of my playlist for a week or so now. Drum &
bass is my type of music. Maybe I had completely incorrect assumptions about
Blaqk Audio. I find myself playing it all the time. I feel almost stupid for
any reservations I had.
Terrific
Neat!Stem cells could be used to restore damaged vision. Your seeing-eye dog wants unemployment insurance.

At work today
Anyways, rumours say that NEC will be finished next month. I plan to deal with
ZBL. It took ages to track down yesterday's problem. I was told that we will
have to repurpose our e-business for the NEC project. We won't have any dynamic
platforms next month. This week I attended a meeting with our Associate Analyst
discussing the 24/365 convergence. Anyway.
