The new Talib Kweli album
I just down- *ahem* bought Talib Kweli's new album 'Ear Drum'.

It wasn't for lack of exposure - bro is a huge fan.
I feel almost stupid for any negative first impressions I had.

Fresh from the wire
By John Schwartz Space is, as you know, the final frontier. It’s about taking technology to the limit, showing courage in the face of risk, and giving expression to the human urge to explore that seems hardwired into our DNA.

Yesterday's lunch
Yesterday's lunch, we went to a great restaurant called Sun Tang to celebrate bro's birthday. The menu was printed on a tissue thin piece of paper. We ordered some wine.

I immediately spotted jelly fish on the menu and ordered it.
I hadn't been to a place that fancy before. Sun Tang is often compared to Yee Mow since both offer similar Chinese menus, but I think Sun Tang wins easily

Yesterday's lunch
First clean and I wanted to go to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch yesterday but we decided to go to Zuciano, a new Italian restaurant at the other side of town.
The owner is very friendly. Zuciano is often compared to Antello, but I think Zuciano wins easily

Atreyu
I just downloaded Atreyu's 'Lead Sails Paper Anchor'.

I never bought any Atreyu albums before because it didn't interest me. Now it always catches me.

Now spinning: Cross
Last Friday I downloaded Justice's 'Cross' from iTunes.

Somehow Justice never touched me. I feel silly that I didn't know about this before. The truth is I've been very indifferent to Justice for quite a while.

Heathrow Opens New Terminal
New York Times has an interesting read: Heathrow Opens New Terminal. By Julian Joyce If anyone stands to benefit most from the opening of Heathrow airport's Terminal 5, say its supporters, it's the “poor infantry” of the air travel world - Heathrow's long-suffering passengers.

'Waiting...'
Yesterday I saw 'Waiting...'. Well, I found it just crappy.
Rob McKittrick must've been smoking something while he was watching the dailies. There are some good bits, but as a whole the movie falls apart. It was sad, really, when you think how good the story could have been if it had been done properly.

Strange stuff on News24
Naked car thief captured. Apparently removed his clothing in an attempt to improve his odds of escape over the electric fence.
This amazes me.
