Hiatus

I return after a 2 month hiatus. My life can be described in the following way: sleep, eat, hospital, sleep, eat, hospital. I have survived three on calls, a bungled pay cheque, the wrath of relatives and registrar power struggles (the latter is still on going, we hope for a seize fire some time soon). There have been so many interesting moments especially the one where you really really want to cry and don't want to do this medicine thing anymore. Divulging any further details will threaten my anonymity. The weekend is when things really come to life. American crime season on Channel 5 anyone? The individual who said you don't get time to spend the money you earn was probably a scrooge.

To round up the last 2 months: Bourne Ultimatum- very good but not the best of the trilogy. The illusionist- quirky with the usual top notch performance from Edward Norton. I saw Shooter with Mark Walberg (last film of his I saw was the one with apes so you understand my scepticism) in a blurry eyed daze on the long haul flight. I re watched it on dvd bar the ending which I saw the first time and it is actually a decent film. Blood Diamond changed my negative view of the Di Caprio. Forest Whittaker and James McAvoy stole my heart in Last King of Scotland. As my creative takes it final dying breaths, the new generation of ipods including the ipod touch are released later this month. Creative also released a 16gb version of the zen. C-net Review. Amazon. Gone are the days of irritation with staff working in mobile phone and electrical retailers because I know more about their products than they do. I will not be sold a gadget because it is pink and cute!

On heavy rotation:
Mario- Kryptonite feat. Rich Boi
Trey Songz-Fly Together feat. Jim Jones
Kelly Rowland (Kelle with a southern twang as Yung Texus says) -Still in Love With My Ex
remix
Chris Brown-Kiss Kiss. For the record I love the production.
Nicole- Whatever You Like. Again sick beat.
Ne-Yo-Make Me Better. Timbo's beats are ridiculous.
New Talib Kweli-Ear Drum is alright but prefer earlier albums.

Look out for: new PCD (hopefully they will be more proactive on this record as opposed to doing covers), Mario's new LP, Keyshia Cole's Just Like You and As I Am from Alicia Keys.

After watching Nicole's pre show royale performance for the VMAs I give her my full respect. Not only is the choreography for the instrumental bit after Lil Wayne's ''verse'' (I could have done better and I can't rhyme) tight, she killed it.
