Music mogul and lyricist extraordinaire Mos Def turns 35 today, and to celebrate I thought we could have a listen to my favourite song – Miss Big Fat Booty. Loving that, and while it’s still a bit windy outside, the sun is shining and it’s just one more sleep til the weekend so if that isn’t reason to sit back and enjoy a damn good track and appreciate the summer zen-ness, then I don’t know what is.
Must not make nasty comments. Must not make barf sounds. Ok, maybe the original article is called How To Reach Soul-Mate Status With Any Man. I like my title better. So here’s the deal, Cosmo did an article on the 4 basic types of guys, and tells you which one is best for you, how to make him swoon, what sort of date he’ll like and so on. I am a bit skeptical, and Cosmo is full of crap mostly, …
An unsuspecting Tiger having a good snooze My cats hate me, and will be avoiding me for the rest of the day. All because I de-flead them, the ungrateful buggers. Tiger is usually the most freaked out by stuff like this, so I cleverly thought I would surprise him while he was sleeping. As it turns out, he only struggled a bit when he realised what was happening. Sonic on the other hand, took one look at the Advantage tube …
It’s that time of year when the world starts making lists. First Time then Google Zeitgeist, now it’s my turn. And yes, I have already done a reflective post, this is different. So, in no particular order, here are my Top 10 Things from this year… ———— 1.

Image by Peter Bennet Let’s think about the things we can do for our fellow human beings. Not just the ones sitting next to us in our offices, or walking past us in the shop, or living next door to us – but also the ones who are living in a box down the road from us or getting wasted on glue in the inner city. I think what stands out most to me is how poverty and lack of …
I was thrilled to see I had been tagged by Chris in a Random Thoughts meme – I love departing useless information, so I never turn a good meme down. Here goes… 6 Random Rox Facts: 1. I have a secret fascination with diggers and cranes, and big trucks. I would love to go up in a crane, and as for diggers… taking a ride in one of those babies would be my idea of fun. I can’t explain it, …
Chugga chugga chugga It’s December in Cape Town, which means it’s hot, dry and windy… and fire season has made a big entrance this week with a massive fire in Gordons Bay as well as smaller fires in Khayalitsha. On my mission to Atlantis to collect my drivers I was marveling at how the entire Cape Town and West Coast area is affected by the fires. The air is muggy and along the sea horizon there is a thick layer …
Finally, I have my proper license card I went to collect my drivers license card this morning, what a huge friggin relief to finally have this all over with. Now all I need is to get myself together and get some wheels… then the real fun begins – vehicle finance, w00t w00t. P.S.

Talking of hot… I’m not even the fun kind of hot and bothered, I’m just in the midst of this Cape Town heatwave. I am lucky enough to live in the ideal flat in summer – it’s always much cooler than most places, even without the fan on – but it’s still hot!! I went for a mission to the shops just now, it wasn’t even 10am and the heat was in full swing. The air is so hazy that …
You know that you can count on I Can Has Cheezburger to lighten things up. This one is especially cool due to a long-standing fascination for pink flamingos, man I love those things. In other news, I am making a monumental effort to get a grip and not ruin the festive season.
