Web Skills: Non-Existent!

29
Sep
2008

You would think a simple thing like adding a profile page would take a few minutes, but for one reason after another, I just can’t seem to get it right… First, my rightbar is suddenly non-editable – after 2 odd years of being able to edit it I now just can’t do it. Then, I got clever and managed to add a link on my left side bar, but the page that I wrote just brings a blank (which I … Read More »

Sunday Picnic Chillax

28
Sep
2008

I spent the morning chilling under the most amazing trees, watching the clouds and having a laugh at the brainless Ibis’ fighting over Cheese Puffs, drinking champagne out of a tea cup, brushing ants off my legs and generally doing bugger all… man I love picnics. Pretty flowers disguising the marshy wetlands underneath the grass Some stupid Ibis’ and an opportunistic Egret hoping for Cheese Puffs This is where the term ‘bird brain’ comes from I can lie on the … Read More »

Fabulously Frivolous Fridays

27
Sep
2008

Chili chocolate… perfect Friday fabulousness There’s nothing quite like Fridays. They don’t always have this degree of fabulousness, but this one was a really good one – and did a lot of good for my zen levels too. The day started out on a good note with a good driving lesson, which included parallel parking on Beach Road in Greenpoint. I totally aced it, and overall am feeling ready to pass my upcoming test. With any luck I won’t do … Read More »

I’m Loving… Strawberries!

26
Sep
2008

With cream, balsamic vinegar and black pepper or just on their own – all year round, bigger by the month… I just never get tired or strawberries! Turns out they’re not only yummy, but also pretty healthy too… * Strawberries are a very good source of Vitamin C * Other nutrients include vitamin K, manganese, folic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids * Strawberries also contain significant levels of phytonutrients and antioxidants to … Read More »

Happy Birthday Jimmy Cooper

25
Sep
2008

I mean Tate Donovan, whatever. He turns a nice distinguished 44 today, good for him. Any excuse is good enough for me to go on a rant about how much I love The O.C, I have to admit. Last night while I was watching I realised that I must be getting old… because instead of (ok, in additional to) perving over eye candy like Adam Brody, I couldn’t help but think that Sandy Cohen is the type of guy I … Read More »

Coke Zero: Whatever!

25
Sep
2008

With this bug having left me feeling a tad bit queasy the last few days, I was craving Coke. So, I thought I would try Coke Zero to see if it really did have the ‘real Coke taste’. As it turns out, it still tastes like sugar-free, aspartame and acesulfame loaded Coke that leaves a funny taste in your mouth. Hard to say which is worse – sugar (and the endless calories that go with it) or sweeteners (which have … Read More »

Online Portfolios Are Fun

24
Sep
2008

I spent a large chunk of the afternoon and evening today playing with my online portfolio (www.roxb.co.za), and it’s turned out to be a lot of fun. First, let me say that my web development skills are laughable. Other than very basic html, which I was forced to learn when I first started blogging, I have no idea what I am doing. I try though, and sometimes I get lucky and things don’t break. Today though, I somehow managed to … Read More »

Shiny Happy Tuesday (on the inside anyway)

23
Sep
2008

It’s raining again, but I don’t care. I got some really awesome news on the work front, and things are progressing nicely overall. Hard to believe that it’s coming up for my fourth month as a freelancer – and each month I enjoy it more. What you lose in security you make up for in flexibility, better time management, less stress and much more productivity, and while not everyone enjoys it, I really love it. I really can’t stress how … Read More »
