Babbling Point

Today... It took me an hour to get a cab. When I got in the cab, playing in the radio, was Barry Manilow's "Mandy". Was late for my meeting. Flowers being delivered everywhere. Kris Aquino was born today. Happy Valentine's-- bah humbug!

Kinda late, but I’ll talk about it anyway… Got to watch FROM HELL during the weekend. Actually watched it twice because I accompanied by mom and brother last Sunday. (Yes, yes, I watched it twice despite it’s slow pace.) It was then I realized that FROM HELL felt like an episode of Chris Carter’s MILLENNIUM , `cause the detective assigned to the case also had psychic abilities.
