I am feeling way proud of myself right now. Having bought myself a plunger to see if I could fix my blocked kitchen sink, I managed to actually get it sorted, all by myself. This is almost as much a feat as changing light bulbs, which let me tell you is a pretty big feat when you’re short like me. Push down and plunge Not to be confused with push up and plunge… Although, now that I think about it, …
Ink Rushes: Short-lived December has been a pretty fucked up month. I guess I started it off on a good note by getting a new chappie, which is now nice and healed. Even if it nearly drive me mad during the scabbing process, kerist! But anyway, so what I was trying to say is that this month, the universe either took pity on my sorry sick ass, or it got bored and went to play with some other poor fool. …
Last week I worked from home, which was my concession to sick leave. Having been down with some virus thing and on hardcore antibiotics, with some added ear issues thrown in for kicks, being in a noisy office with drilling and such crap going on downstairs, I thought that at least if I could be at home, it wouldn’t be so bad. Well, as I soon discovered, not only is working from home way more hectic than being at the …
Make that call and change the nation Every single time, without fail, that I see the Cell C Hola 7 ad, I get excited. Not so excited that I buy a Hola 7 starterpack, but I still really love that ad, and the catchy song, and I love Zola 7 long time. The Hola 7 pack is giving 1% of all calls made to the community, to help make a bit of difference. If this was an initiative of anyone …
“I’ve been a pig for about 9 months now” Damn, it’s been a while since I watched anything as good as Training Day. Quite aside from the facts that it was my kind of violent, skop, skiet en donner movie, and it contains both Ethan and Denzel, but it also won Denzel an Academy Award and got lovely Ethan a nomination for Best Supporting Role. Nice. Anyway, the whole thing is basically about a new narc who trains with an …
No Batteries Required For the last few weeks I’ve been working anything from 12 to 19 hour days. Anyone who’s done some freelancing in addition to their dayjob will know the feeling of going into that surreal state where time just dissolves. I remember bitching about being tired a few months ago in the first week I first started freelancing, and G from kuier laughing at me and telling me to see how I feel after a few weeks of …
Fuck hey, what a year. I feel like I lost myself for a while there, and finally, after one hell of a long, hard ride, I found me again. There has been a lot of stress, a lot of heartache, big decisions, big mistakes, some good tattoos, some good friends (which took me long enough to realise and let them help me when I need them), some pretty cool parties, sleepless nights and sensual nights, awful neighbors and hot neighbors, …
Annoying and fucked up as they may be, I couldn’t imagine a life without my retarded cats. It’s not just a matter of having pets around, anyone who’s ever had a cat will know that they just somehow have a built-in happiness generator. Maybe it’s the purring, maybe it’s their attitude. I don’t know. My sister’s beautiful little sunshine cat, Minaeo, went missing on Thursday, and today, after a weekend of putting up posters and calling vets and animal shelters …
iPod Touch: So hot right now Being a gadget girl, I have to admit I got a bit over-excited when I saw that Chris was giving away a swacky iPod Touch at Crush Calculator… All you have to do is go and enter online at www.crushcalculator.co.za – it’s really pretty damn easy when you think about how much you want that glorious gadget. And if you REALLY want it, spread the word and up your chances. Oh and while you’re …
Ok, so I’ve never been into M&M’s (or Snickers or Mars Bars) anyway, and I gave up chocolate weeks ago, but nevertheless, learning that Mars Chocolate funds pointless lab tests on animals was enough to put me off ALL chocolate, for good. According to Peta, Mars Chocolate funds tests such as ‘cramming baby mice into small Plexiglas chambers and then submerging the chambers for nearly five hours in chilled water to determine whether a chocolate ingredient affected the mice’s breathing …
