Grocery store
I went to the grocery store this week. I got myself a big heavy bag of groceries

I could have saved 1.8 cents per roll if I bought the 12-pack of toilet paper.

Priceless
Saw this funny stuff on MSNBC. "Jack Nicholson admits that he once stopped making love to a woman to eat an entire apple pie before returning to bed for more sex".
ROTFL

Fascinating
Oh brother, I came across this very thought-provoking read.
At long last, people can now learn how common their name is in Norway.

At work
Today I had to get a copy of the AccountWeb for the complete group. I will need to be at the meeting with the people from NNC. I heard from a colleague last week that I will have to deal with AccountWeb. Progress is slow, but the NNC people are very cooperative, so I was told by Nora Kerrigan. Why hasn't anyone told me? The reorganisation is only the first of four phases.

Recap
This week I was briefed that RealWeb is going as planned at work. We will have to deploy our markets for the RealWeb project. This morning I attended a RealWeb appointment discussing the distributed channels.

My work day is full of interruptions.

What are your thoughts on this subject? Please let me know what you think of this, in the comments section.

Now spinning: the new Plies album
Now spinning in my CD player is 'The Real Testament', Plies's new CD.

I probably seem like the kind of person who might be a very big fan of Plies but I'm not. Maybe I had completely incorrect assumptions about Plies.

Back to reality at Heathrow's T1
New York Times features this in-depth article. 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.

Work
I am getting a new office PC. I am supposed to play it low. The reorganisation is only the first of two phases, so I was told. I was told that I'm not going to stick to the original plan for BTZ and have to write a document on VNF DadaRouter.

I was supposed to be at the appointment but something came up, so now I have to reshedule for tomorrow.

'Elizabethtown'
I found Elizabethtown fine.

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).

I had reservations about Susan Sarandon, but it turned out good. Kirsten Dunst did a rather ok job too.
