I don’t know what’s wrong with me today, I’m just feeling a bit off. Last night I had a surprise date – the boy took me for a picnic on the beach, with wine and yummy food (vegetarian too, bless) and impressive show stoppers such as making my name in fire across the beach. I swear, this dude is something else altogether… quite amazing. This week has been a bit manic, only got to gym today for the first time … Read More »

I’ve been a Bush fan since I was about 16 or so – ever since I heard Glycerine in fact. There is something about Gavin Rossdale that is a little bit heartbreaking… hard to explain. His lyrics have always been so beautiful, and there are songs that have haunted me for years. When Partner in Crime (another huge Rossdale fan) asked me if I’d heard Love Remains the Same, I had to admit that I hadn’t, and when I finally … Read More »

I was doing my weekly catch up on Smashing Magazine today when I happened upon a very, very interesting food blog called Foodtease. With a beautiful design and awesome layout, this blog written by Canadians living in Texas caught my eye instantly, and the rather hectic recipes for things like cow’s lips and pig’s tails prompted me to take a proper look. Four pages into this blog, and I am utterly fascinated. Despite being vegetarian, and therefore not being able … Read More »

Phew, I just can’t stop yawning today. After a lovely night, and a really good sleep last night, I woke up feeling like I’d hardly slept a wink. The day just seemed to be against me somehow, Mondays and Tuesdays are not my favourite days! After an intense gym session, and a few hours of work, and a quick chat with the boy and some couch time – including a very hectic episode of Law & Order:SVU just now, I’m … Read More »

It’s been a very typical Monday in just about every way… small annoyances and frustration incorporated since I forced myself out of bed around 8am. But somewhere around the early afternoon, my day suddenly brightened and I was smiling like an idiot again. Amazing what the thought of a visit from my 6ft5 zen booster can do, phew. Anyway, the rest of the afternoon and evening has been great, and try as I might, I just can’t manage to mope. … Read More »

H to the OT Well well, one of my favourite things about Supernatural turns 27 today. Jared Padalecki is seriously yummy, and yummy guys with nice biceps in wife beaters are always worth a mention here on Roxilla. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling extremely chilled on this beautiful Sunday evening in Cape Town. Even if there is a Monday at the end of it somewhere! Bring it on, this week is going to kick ass.

Shocking as this is, one of my current favourite songs is Miley Cyrus’ See You Again. They play this song almost every time I’m at gym, and I only realised it was a Miley song today. Oops. Still, annoying as this chick is, she doesn’t have such a bad voice, and this song is really cute and catchy – damn good music when you’re on the stepper! She can’t dance, and she is clearly a teenager… but there’s just something … Read More »

There’s nothing quite like beautiful days in winter… makes me so glad to live in Cape Town. In fact, it just makes me glad to be alive, period! My weekend got off to an early start with a work braai. We got to leave the office just after 2pm, and after a bit of a last minute venue change, we ended up at Maiden’s Cove in Camps Bay. Technically it’s a booze-free zone, but luckily it’s also a security and … Read More »

As anyone born in the good old 80′s will remember Jan-Michael Vincent was the dude from Airwolf. Man I loved that show, far more than MacGyver. It had everything that appealed to my precious expectations of bad TV – moody hero with issues, a lost love, kickass theme song, a killer helicopter and bad clothes. It was awesome, cooler than Knight Rider too. In fact, the only thing I liked more back then was Santa Barbara (which I was never … Read More »
