First, a few thoughts about the above up and coming destruction of yet another one of our childhood classics… * Jackie Chan, Kung Fu, China… and it’s called Karate Kid * Jaden or whatever his name is Smith is quite a cute kid actually * Despite there being so much wrong with this shiz, I still want to see it Ok, so it’s Boxing Day and I have had about one and a bit day of sheer chillax. Christmas Eve …
Today… * I don’t think I have been this tired in a long time, it seems to accumulate each day * Almost everyone seems to be on leave already – I still have two days to go * I included the ex on my virtual Christmas card list… and didn’t take it personally when he didn’t reply * I finally got some clarity on my plans for the year ahead, and set some things into motion * I realised that …
Long Street mayhem strikes again After sleeping through my alarm on Sunday morning, and waking up all of a sudden to see that it was 10am I had a brief moment of sheer panic. Then I remembered that it was still weekend. Overall, it was a pretty good one, not least because I finally put my deadline to rest after one final push on Friday. Saturday morning was spent indulging in some much-needed retail therapy, when my aunt and I …
There’s a new one on the streets. He is in fairly good condition, maybe about twelve or a bit older – nice looking boy. He has the insistence and pushiness of a kid who hasn’t yet been worn down by this city, who still has some semblance of hope and a feeling that the world owes him something. This is how I know he’s new, he doesn’t know it shows, but he is just not enough tough for this town …
If… Money weren’t an object, would there still be such a need to plunder this planet of its resources? We named each animal in the world, would it be as easy to kill them? All the people in the world cared enough, would anything really change? I did my bit to save the planet, would it make much difference? Canada and China didn’t exist, would animals have a better chance? We lived in a perfect world, would we really be …
“Time weighs down on you like an old ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to slip through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won’t be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there – to the edge of the world. There’s something you can’t do unless you get there.” — Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore) I don’t know about the rest of you, but this month is spiraling into …
It is only Tuesday. This has been the longest week, it feels like the weekend should be here by now. So much to process and so much to do these next two weeks, and it feels like all my bravado is melting away. It hits me at the worst times, and makes me feel so unbelievably pathetic and helpless. Partner in Crime saw my pitiful bleating on Twitter late last night and called at just the right time, and then …
Star of Kelp 09: Patron XO It’s so hard to believe that two thousand and wine is coming to a close already… time has just flown, and a hugely busy, crazy and challenging (not to mention awesome) year is almost over. I doubt I would have survived without the help of my obsessions – from my BFF caffeine to the ever-present wine, various gadgets, beauty products, clothes and other things, it’s certainly been the year of Needful Things. Without any …
Despite a good weekend, I’m feeling a little sad and wistful today. So many thoughts to process lately, it feels like there is just too much going on up in my head – need some time out away from the city I think. Current Sunday Musings… * Big meeting at work on Tuesday, will have all eyes on me and it’s both scary and exciting * I think I have seen my dream city apartment – will call tomorrow to …
These streets will make you feel brand new, The lights will inspire you ~ Jay-z ft. Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind This weekend I’ve felt more part of this city than I have in ages. Something about huge surges of locals, tourists, soccer fans, party goers, poor people, rich people, black people, white people, Germans, Brits, Americans, South Africans and just about every possibly style and culture imaginable… all brought together to celebrate a big moment for our …
