Ok, I admit it – lame as I initially thought Vampire Diaries to be, I have managed to get myself totally into that shiz. And much as I blame the hot vampire Damon (aka Ian Somerhalder) for that, it has quite a cool plot too. Also, I have True Blood 1 and 2 ready and waiting for when I finish Vampire Diaries. I draw the line at Twilight, but still. It’s bad. That said, if you haven’t seen Vampire Diaries …
When everyone (including seasoned horror critics reviewing the film) tells you not to watch something, and reviews include descriptions like ‘rape of the soul’, you know it’s a) going to be hectic and b) something you have to watch, despite the warnings. A Serbian Film is one such movie. Directed by Srdjan Spasojevic, this avant garde horror makes all the Saw and Hostel type of American torture porn flicks look like Disney – it really is that insane. Some are …
Sometimes, being tough is a bitch. Being a drama queen too. Being both, often together, is quite another ball game altogether however – it’s no wonder that people tend to assume I’m either a) fine or b) stressing over nothing. Often, they are right… maybe I worry too much, and maybe I’m stronger than I think I am at the end of the day. But there are times that I occasionally wish that I was the fragile soft type who …
Today, I woke up feeling kinda happy. Despite another restless night of not so great sleep, and a vague sense of panic lurking behind the optimism and relief of things starting to get okay again, I still couldn’t stop humming as I got ready, smiling at my neighbours and the dustbin bergies and just feeling happy to be out in the sunshine on a beautiful Wednesday in Cape Town. Reasons to feel good today… * My external hard drive arrived …
On the face of this I’m blessed When the sunlight comes for free I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me ~ Jamiroquai – Corner of the Earth Sitting in my sister’s back garden (which is pretty much part of the mountain, in an overgrown field) on Sunday afternoon, with the sun streaming in and all the peace and quiet of Piketberg, I finally felt able to breath again. I hadn’t seen her since March or April, …
Boy did I ever laugh today when I spotted this front page story in the papers. “Whale lands on yacht“, complete with a picture of an epic fail whale. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks for the whale (at least it swam off without much more than a bruise or two)… but ever since seeing something very similar on FailBlog.org a few years back, the idea of a whale breaching onto a boat has been on the amusing side. Maybe …
I can thank my bosses for my espresso appreciation. Before I started working here, I hadn’t really ever been that into espresso and would only drink black coffee if I had no other choice. I’d long been a caffeine lover however, and my penchant for a decent cappuccino was well installed. Then I had my first espresso – with sugar nogal… and instantly, I was hooked. My co-worker has fine-tuned his espresso making skills to perfection, and manages to get …
Hot on the heels of the warm and fuzzy car guard moment last week came this little incident on the very same corner. Not quite sure what the deal was, but what I do know is how very much I’m going to miss this little corner… never a dull moment! So this dude was basically walking around with a blindfold over his eyes, being led by what I can only assume to either be a level 1 bergie (or just …
As a grunge loving teenager in the 90′s, Soul Asylum has been one of my favourite bands for half my life. Misery was an anthem back then, but it was Runaway Train that summed up all the angst, talent and awesomeness of that decade for me. The song has remained one of my all-time favourites all this time, not least because it has a real purpose and message. Seeing as how today is Soul Asylum guitarist Dan Murphy’s birthday, I …
If you aren’t following @LivitLuvit, then now would be a good time to start. This chick is doing some awesome things in her mission to become a MTV Twitter Jockey, not least her #savethefurbabies campaign – which aims to raise funds and awareness for shelters in the US to get people to adopt, donate or help in any other way they can. It’s no secret that I love my own FurBabies (pains in the butt they may be!), and while …
