I’ve been blaring Nina Simone all evening, it’s perfect stormy weather music – she’s perfect for moody days too, and chilled days. She may not always have the happiest lyrics, but damn the lady has soul. Here are my favourites: 1. My Baby Just Cares For Me 2. Put a Spell on You 3. Work Song 4. Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood 5. Sinner Man 6. Don’t Smoke in Bed And of course the ultimate, my new theme song for …
I’ve been loving Asian Dub Foundation for a few years now, and have their album Enemy of the Enemy blasting away many a dull afternoon to get me in a writing frenzy. It’s had to put them in a box, but basically their style is a fusion of electronica, dub, dancefloor and a bit of D ‘n B, with pommy accents. Their roots are in hip hop community development with Asian children, which makes their focus a bit more social …
I managed to have a month a bit of no boy stress, but of course as I always do, I fell off the wagon a bit. Not enough to make any indents or anything, just enough to remind me why I try and stay away from boys in the first place. I don’t really expect much at all from men – the only main criteria that matters to me is consideration and being treated like I am worth something. Ok, …
I had already canceled my wild party plans with Partner in Crime, as I have a highly important (as in make or break) copy pitch to do over the weekend and I can’t risk a hangover. It’s just as well though, because apparently we’re getting hit by a real corker of a storm, the worst in like 7 years or something. That reminds of one of my favourite Stephen King short stories, called Rainy Season, where a couple move to …
Although you wouldn’t find me listening to her awful music, I have a huge thing for J-Lo’s movies. There I said it. Awesome stuff indeed So last night I had a dilemma – watch Prison Break (which I have not missed since it started) or watch Enough aka my all time favourite chick flick. Considering that I was a glass of wine into the evening, chick flick won hands down. Enough is possibly one of the best movies I have …
It’s a lot like Nirvana Unplugged really, but I really love Alice in Chains, especially unplugged. It’s my grunge girl background ok. Alice in Chains – Angry Chair Sitting on an angry chair Angry walls that steal the air Stomach hurts and I don’t care What do I see across the way See myself molded in clay Stares at me, yeah I’m afraid Changing the shape of his face Candles red I have a pair Shadows dancing everywhere Burning on …
I am battling to keep my eyes open today – and I am at the office so have to soldier through this impending migraine that’s fast approaching. And listen to this damn rain flooding the city, what fun. I only had one glass of wine and I went to bed earliesh last night… but lately I have been having very hectic nightmares, and keep waking up in a panic every few hours it seems. I have always had pretty vivid …
After a shaky start the week is turning out pretty well. Things are looking interesting on the work front, I finally got paid so I’m in the wine and chocolate again, Debra has reigned calm over my chaotic flat, it’s half way to weekend, it’s been the most beautiful spring day today, Robert Smith and Fun Lovin’ Criminals doing some playtime, good hair day… it’s just been a nice day all round. I thought I’d share something from one of …
You can’t quite see them, but the dimples are there! Confession time. I have started watched Young and the Restless. I know, it’s terrible. Still, it’s not that bad – and one of the main things making it not bad at all really is Daniel Goddard, who played Cane Ashby. I have to admit, even after watching it most days for the last 2 months or so, I still have only the vaguest idea what is going on, but I …
KISS did the mask thing better, and they sounded better too Seriously, I went through a metal angst phase myself, and I scratched pentagrams and anarchy signs on my arm and got into detention for defaced the school desks and my note books, but really… these dudes make GWAR look tame! Somewhat un-hardcore and geeky without the facial gear now, aren’t we?? I skipped the last half of Survivor tonight to watch the 3rd Degree show on the Krugersdorp school …
