Fresh from the wire
According to eFluxMedia: Lost: Ji Yeon Or Sun’s Heartbreaking Hello To Jin.

The frantic forward action of "Lost" this season took a nice, even welcome detour to get emotional. The story of Jin and Sun was, in many ways, a very nice send off for the both of them.

At the movies
I saw a screening of The Fog yesterday.
But either I was missing something crucial or the film just wasn't my type. It has some interesting ideas.

At the office
Today I'll be working on the new PGE, so I was told by my manager. I am going to play it low. Last week I attended a HZG workshop discussing the open-source supply-chains. Elco heard that the new strategy for HZG is paying off. Oh well. HZG is going as planned. So they change it again.

Strange material
This surprises me! Summit registers on tops of mountains mysteriously vanishing. Trolls, ogres and dwarves eyed suspiciously.

Now spinning: Common's 'Finding Forever'
I just down- *ahem* bought Common's new album 'Finding Forever'. I feel silly that I didn't know about this before. I'll have to investigate Common further.

The album strikes a chord everytime I play it. Repeated listenings do infuse the melodies into your brain.

New Prince
Just bought and listened to 'Planet Earth', the new Prince CD.
There are some addictive tracks on the album. I feel almost stupid for any negative first impressions I had.

Well, what are your thoughts on this topic? Tell me your opinion.

New M.I.A.
I just down- *ahem* bought 'Kala', the new M.I.A. disc.
It's strange that I didn't dig the music earlier.
There are some addictive tracks on the CD. I feel almost stupid for any reservations I had.

'In Her Shoes'
I saw In Her Shoes last night. Many people are talking about this movie so I wanted to see what the hype is about, and it was rather amusing.

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.

Anyway, please let me know what you think by entering a suggestion to this entry.
