File this under: I need to get headphones, pronto! My otherwise great office has just one fault… every day, all day, the radio is on. And not to something even remotely ok like KFM. Oh no, we have Good Hope FM on mostly, or 5FM. The only difference to me is that occasionally GHFM plays old skool, but otherwise both stations play a neverending stream of remixed horrors that are starting to get on my nerves even more than Lady …
Yup yup, winter is hitting Cape Town in a big way, and today was a pretty typical example of how it’s going to roll. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat, and woke up this morning with the blocked nose to go with it, such fun. One of the highlights of this gloomy day was meeting DT at Fork for lunch, which was lovely and cosy. We got their taster special, which had all sorts of utterly delicious tapas …
This totally made my evening, and made me remember exactly why I adore cats so much… such strange and entertaining creatures they are!
I can hardly even remember the last torso I posted, but whatever the case I doubt any of them measured up to the uber torso meister… On Sunday night we were having a disjointed convo about hot dudes (as one does) and I remember saying that the hottest actor was Viggo. If I had been a bit more sober, I would have remembered Ryan Reynolds. Especially after watching him save Blade Trinity from being even more of a disaster that …
Jack Black stealing the limelight After a busy and somewhat stressful week, a good weekend like this was just what I needed. A weekend full of Muaythai, good friends, laughter, stamps all over my arm, interesting people, Patron, Jagermeister, late night McDonald’s drive-through, pinky swears, magic tricks, packed dancefloors, sunny balconies and even some work. From Daddy Cool, Neighbourhood, Fiction and Waiting Room on Saturday night to Rafiki’s, a beautiful garden in the middle of the city, McDonald’s drive-through and …
Old skool: who needs gloves when you have molasses and ground glass?? Phew, despite this miserable wet Cape Town morning, I managed to brave the cold to head off to the new Dragon Power kwoon for my first Muaythai class in months. It was a very small class, with just 2 of us and our trainer, and it was a fairly basic class, but just being back and working up a serious sweat was a very good feeling indeed, not …
So much for birthday ink… turns out getting lyrics from The Cure down my side is more pricey than I thought, so going to have to hold that thought for a month or two until my ink fund is at a reasonable level. Oh well, will be something to look forward to. It’s been a funny day, but some good things have come out of it. Smile-worthy Friday things include the following: * Organic double cappuccino fix from my favourite …
Getting inked: the right thing to do So I did the whole voting thing today, and all I will say is that I’m glad this is all over. Politics bores me at the best of time, but during election time it reaches a new level of ughness, so ja. Now we wait! I just had a seriously good 30 minute cycle session on the old trusty exercise bike, I’ve sent in my questions to COSMO, I got to see my …
Robert and The ‘Do Well this just shows how many cool people are Taureans! Robert Smith, aka legendary frontman of The Cure, hit the Big Five Oh today and that gives me yet another reason to use up all my bandwidth watching The Kyoto Song and similar. Please take a look at the intense lyrics to Kyoto Song and tell me there isn’t a tattoo in there somewhere! A nightmare of you Of death in the pool Wakes me up …
Viva la Princess Shoes! Phew, such a hectic amount of things on my brain right now I have to make a major effort to lose myself in work just to focus. My upcoming birthday is bringing all the usual angst that always seems to follow party planning – just trying to settle on a venue has been bad enough. I’m taking out the effort of guest list stuff by just invited everyone. This of course means I have to consider …
