This time last year I was dealing with epic laptop near-death experiences, and preparing for my final month of full-time work, slowly perfecting my driving skills and causing a fair share of mayhem on Long Street. While sometimes it seems that my life has done a complete turn around, some things haven’t changed much at all… except now my laptop doesn’t actually crash anymore, I have not only my drivers license but my very first car, I’ve done freelancing AND … Read More »

The star of the show, as usual… Well, another weekend has come and gone, and this one was actually quite a good one. Friday night saw a few of us local bloggers converge at Neighbourhood (302, BlindCripple, Tristan, Blade, DT and @GrumH – good mix) where much Patron was enjoyed before we made our way across various spots, a few remaining survivors ending up at Saul’s somewhere around 4am.

He was, and still is, one of the most beautiful boys I’ve ever known, with the bluest eyes, perfect cheekbones and long golden hair. He … Read More »

Ta da! In the midst of all the drama over the last few weeks, something very awesome and exciting happened… I got my very first car. And today, all the paperwork and whatnot was sorted, and I could finally take ownership! It’s been quite a hectic journey, this driving thing. While most people start driving at 16 or 17, I only learned to drive properly early last year, at 28. And while most people got their driver’s license by 18 … Read More »

Everyone needs a theme song. A song that moves and inspires, through those tough times and the good times – a song that resonates somehow. For me it’s Landslide by Stevie Nicks. Without fail, this song brings a lump to my throat – the lyrics are so beautiful and Lindsey Buckingham on acoustic is faultless. This woman has the most beautiful, powerful voice, and has been a powerhouse from her early Fleetwood Mac days right up to recent days. Stevie … Read More »
