French food
Yesterday I had lunch with hassan, we first considered Bistro Bordelais but decided on Brasserie du Marche. Hassan took charge of ordering the menu. We had to wait for 5 minutes before we could get a table.
I hadn't been to a place that fancy before. The service was a highlight. The atmosphere was great. We enjoyed the afternoon. I recommend Brasserie du Marche to everyone.

Now spinning: Live At Radio City
Last Monday I got Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds's new disc 'Live At Radio City'. I've always been into pop music.
The truth is I've been very indifferent to Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds for quite a while.
Repeated listenings do infuse the melodies into your brain. I feel almost stupid for any reservations I had. There are some addictive tracks on the album.

'Elizabethtown'
I went to the movies last saturday and saw Elizabethtown.

The plot involved the following: During his trip back to Kentucky for his father's memorial, a dejected young man (Bloom) finds inspiration in the form of a flight attendant (Dunst).

Director Cameron Crowe did an ok job, Kirsten Dunst gave a great performance though.
There are occasional lapses in credibility.

Dinner
I had dinner with ali last Saturday: we wanted to go to an Italian restaurant, so we decided on Nazano. I heard their spaghetti carbonara is excellent. It was very hot inside. A colleague recommended it to ali. It was really crowded. A colleague recommended it to me.
We had lots of fun there. I highly recommend the zucchini pesto pasta.

'The Curse of the Were-Rabbit starring Wallace & Gromit'
I found 'The Curse of the Were-Rabbit starring Wallace & Gromit' just great, just saw the movie.
Steve Box did a brilliant job and it was compelling, defiant and beautifully filmed as well.

It caught the entire audience immediately!

Dinner
I had dinner with achmed yesterday: we wanted to go to a vegetarian restaurant, so we decided on Sacred Paradise.

I chose the falafel with couscous salad, which was actually very good. Achmed went for the black beans with brown rice, which was satisfactory.
I hadn't been to a place that fancy before. We will definitely go there again.

A very cheesy movie
Ali and I saw a screening of 'Waiting...' last saturday and it is a cheesy movie.


Mitch (Daley), a new employee at Shenanigans, a restaurant known for its impossibly cheery staff, is introduced to "The Game," a competition to be the eatery's top waiter.

Rob McKittrick did an overrated job, I think Ryan Reynolds is awful.
The lack of chemistry was appalling.

Ok, what do you think? Please let me know what you think by entering a comment to this post.

Dream on
Hassan mailed me this. Swedish study links tooth loss to memory loss. Think of your teeth as little USB drives.

At work
Rumours say that I plan to cancel the RealHaus test at work. I am supposed to deal with CDB. Progress is slow, but the RealHaus people are very cooperative, so I was told by a colleague. Progress is slow, but the RealHaus people are very cooperative. The RealHaus project will be terminated tomorrow. Achmed told me that we've been running a pilot for some time now, and it will get official next week. This morning I was briefed that the growth of the customized paradigms is decreasing.

I'll be working on the new CDB. Oh well. My supervisor heard that the RealHaus account has become profitable. Yesterday I attended a RealHaus presentation discussing the virtual ROI. They are in debt in the millions. I was told that I was supposed to keep working on the RealHaus project but something came up, so now I have to modify stuff for the RealHaus. Rumours say that RealHaus will be finished next week. Why this change of plans?
