Favourite things – the spring edition

As spring descends and summer gets closer, I begin to unleash the hippy in me. This season it’s all about comfort, small pleasures, laid back vibes and pretty things that are none too fussed or fancy. I barely even bother doing anything to my hair lately either – it’s currently doing it’s own crazy curl thing, and it’s actually pretty cool to just wash and go without a thought. Anyhoo, in no particular order, here are some of my current … Read More »

Social experiment: day #2

So I’m 2 days into this whole online dating thing, and have to say that it’s not really at all what I thought it would be. Well, in some ways it is, but in other ways, it’s kinda different. I’m doing this partly as a social experiment, partly for work purposes and I guess also partly just to see what happens. Can’t be a jaded, heartless cynic forever right, and what do I really have to lose? I don’t see … Read More »

Flat makeovers: imminent

Wow, can’t believe I spelled ‘imminent’ right first time – considering that I’ve barely been able to spell my own name right today, this is quite a feat. Anyway, moving swiftly along, I was very excited to get word from my landlord today, giving me the go-ahead to paint! For many months now, I’ve been wanting to revamp my flat into something that is more in line with where I am right now. I’ve always loved the rich, slightly cheesy … Read More »

Wistful thinking

I either need a new laptop or a new brain, anything to stop these headaches. There are moments where my thoughts freeze and for a few seconds I have to think carefully to remember what I was just doing, what I was supposed to be doing, what I am meant to do later and even what day it is. Strange feeling, but still better than the state of stress I was in pre-freelance phase. The thing is, I’m finally reaching … Read More »

#MusicMonday: Pink Floyd – Coming Back to Life

Every now and then, a song throws me for a loop. I can play the song countless times during normal times in life, and then listen to it during another phase and have it mean something so different. I hadn’t listened to Pink Floyd in well over a year, and when I decided to put it on yesterday and Coming Back to Life came on, it just gave me goosebumps. Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautiful way of summing up how … Read More »

Kittens, deadlines, runs, smoothies and online dating experiments

While the rest of South Africa was going about enjoying that time honoured tradition that is known as Braai Day and the Long Weekend, I was doing what freelancers do – slaving over my laptop and daydreaming about fame and fortune. I did however manage to escape for a few hours on Saturday to go up and visit my sister in Piketberg – seriously was just what I needed, and turned out to be one of the highlights of this … Read More »

Long weekend? Pffft…!

Yes, I know I said I wasn’t going to blog all week. It’s almost weekend though, and since tomorrow is business as usual for me, I decided to be kind to myself and allow myself a bit of online time. It’s been an amazingly productive week, and aside from killer headaches and crazy deadlines and the usual shiz, there have been some awesome highlights… * I finally got around to revamping Roxb – you can take a look over here … Read More »

Crunch time…

I’m running out of sad sleepy bear pictures, and I have a huge amount to get through this week. So, in the interest of a) focusing and getting shiz done and b) not inflicting my present gloom on anyone, I am laying low for a while. That means from tomorrow… * No Twitter (may pop in during breaks if I get a moment) * No gtalk * No blogging * Not much social life I know, a real barrel of … Read More »

The Mehdays Strike Again

I miss True Blood. Could really do with a dose of vampire mayhem today… or better still, a month somewhere far away, with no interwebz or 3G or BB signal. Beyond exhausted, just not feeling it at all today. *sigh*

#MusicMonday – Wyclef: Million Voices

Ni ryari izuba, Rizagaruka, Hejuru yacu, Ni nd’ uzaricyeza ricyeza. [When will the sun return above us?] [Who will reveal it once again to us?] ~ Wyclef Jean – Million Voices Hotel Rwanda came on last night, and while I didn’t sit down and watch it again (couldn’t drag myself away from this cursed laptop), I will say that the one good thing about the movie was the soundtrack. The Wyclef song that plays at the end especially… that song … Read More »
