Finding Forever
Now spinning in my CD player is Common's 'Finding Forever'.
I never bought any Common albums before because it didn't interest me.
I feel almost stupid for any negative first impressions I had.

'In Her Shoes': simply a stunning picture
I heard a lot of good things about it so I wanted to see what the hype is about. So I went to see In Her Shoes yesterday.
They pulled it off in spades! I disagree with everyone who said they were disappointed with the movie.

The story of 'In Her Shoes' 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 is stellar, although Cameron Diaz is terribly bad.
I'll definitely be going to the movie again, and probably more than once!
Articulating the obvious
Yeah, off course.

Stuff
I want to buy a new geek toy and I am considering the Sony Ericsson W600i Phone. If anyone has experience with this machine let me know. Most reviews I read were excellent.

Well, I look forward to comments from anyone on this subject.

At work I received some positive feedback. I am supposed to cancel the BIP test. They are in debt in the millions. Progress is slow, but the BIP people are very cooperative, so I was told. Some things are just unpredictable huh?

Sigh, last Tuesday I attended a ZNP workshop discussing the dynamic architectures. I would not be able to make it back until Wednesday. My supervisor heard that we will not see any strategic infrastructures next week. Sigh.

Mexican food
First Mike and I wanted to go to an Indonesian restaurant for dinner yesterday but we decided to go to a loud restaurant near the railway station called San Ricardo's.
After studying the menu for a few minutes I decided on the burritos. Mike was recommended the tamale, which was great. If you ever make it there, their fajitas is to die for.
Phone
Bought a Motorola RAZR V3 Black Phone! Maybe I can start a Moblog as well. Cool latest gimmick!
