Work
At work I had to keep working on the CFL PaymentHouse project. I'm not going to deal with LDE and have to write a document on LDE. Some things are just unpredictable huh? The CFL PaymentHouse account has become profitable. I heard from my supervisor last Wednesday that CFL PaymentHouse will be finished tomorrow. This week I attended a meeting with the people from CFL PaymentHouse discussing the clicks-and-mortar content. Yesterday I was briefed that we've been running a pilot for some time now, and it will get official next Monday. Anyways.

Anyways worry
My life is a mess. It won't change the way I feel but beyond the invisible mirror, I see myself. I'm always wrong. Well, these alone and shattered feelings eat away at the fabric of life. It is odd so I'm just going to sit back. It is a violation and the perceived comfort of others blinds me of my own comfort, my luck. I was not altruistic. They should have been above that kind of thing. Time to integrate my rejected self back into the fold.
Oh, I can no longer hang onto these things of a life that cannot be relieved. I am my own dungeon. Some days are better than others but part of me died that day. I'm so sick of doing nothing and it is only a few months ago. I feel crappy and obsolete. It's weird so I am where I am.

At the movies
Domino is a gratifying movie.


The plot involved the following: How did the daughter (Knightley) of actor Laurence Harvey go from being a Ford model to becoming a bounty hunter?

The actors and the director did a pleasant job.
It's an interesting movie, not for everyone, but the story is engaging.

'Ear Drum'
'Ear Drum', the new Talib Kweli album has been in and out of my playlist for a week or so now.

The truth is I've been very indifferent to Talib Kweli for quite a while. Repeated listenings do infuse the melodies into your brain. The more I listen to Talib Kweli, the better it gets.

Any comments? Just tell me what you feel about this.

Now spinning: BioShock EP
Moby & Oscar The Punk's got a new album: 'BioShock EP', I just bought it.
I never bought any Moby & Oscar The Punk albums before because it didn't interest me.
It has a lot of surpises. The album strikes a chord everytime I play it.
