Before I got my external hard drive, I had to rely on SABC and ETV. While every now and then these channels have given us fairly decent viewing, it was never quite enough. Then I got my HD and my series slumming began in earnest. Here are some of my favourite series from this year: From the very episode of season 1, and those first few minutes of a dark road illuminated by car headlights, I was hooked. Believe me, …
Well, I don’t know about y’all, but my Monday is kinda sucking. Between stresses and strains, an achey back that won’t quit, and the realisation that my bank balance and back issues are not boding well for boxing this month, it’s all just been a bit of a bleary one. Rather than sit around and play Def Leppard and feel sorry for myself, I have decided to be constructive and share some tips for beating those Monday Mehs… enjoy! 1. …
It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life For me And I’m feeling good ~ Nina Simone – Feeling Good There are many reasons why this week is a good week, not least because I am having a much-needed bit of downtime as one deadline finishes and another one begins only next week. So aside from my regular stuff, for now anyway I can focus on admin, Roxb updates, myself and all the things I never …
I sometimes think I should have been a hairstylist. Well, apart from the fact that I am useless with a hairdryer and I only enjoying playing with my own hair, hah! The point is, I get bored very easily and I struggle to go more than a few months with the same style/cut/colour. I’m trying to grown my hair out now so that next year I can go longer and a few shades lighter. Currently however, I’m growing out a …
[Click to Open in New Window] It’s Friday, the sun is out and while it’s been another pretty hectic week, it’s the end of the month and soon the end of some epic deadlines that have been weighing over me. I have chocolate, vanilla chai and pretty plum nails, I’ve just done my monthly invoices and I slept right through the night to wake up feeling more like my old self than I have in a while. All in all, …
I believe in nothing, everything is sacred. I believe in everything, nothing is sacred. ~ Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues It’s been a bit of a bumpy start to the week, and I’m at the point where I just can’t even try to focus anymore. All I feel up to doing is hiding away on my couch with a chilled glass of Chenin Blanc, some chocolate and some Spartacus, or maybe The Little Mermaid (aka my comfort movie …
Hard to believe it’s Wednesday already – October has barely started, and already losing track of time. After an extremely taxing Monday that was so bad I don’t even want to think about it, and a pretty decent Tuesday, today has been the best day of the week yet. So much of good things, and even though I am feeling utterly exhausted from lack of sleep, deadlines and the overall ‘balls to the wall’ GTD vibe, I also feel optimistic …
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*
This persistent ringing in my ears is making it hard enough to think, let alone the fact that I have been working solidly for um… six, seven hours? More? I don’t know anymore – but having wrapped up one (increasingly frustrating) project I am now finally clear to tackle the mammoth project that is weighing me down like that monkey in the Chicken Licken advert. Being a freelancer has its perks, but the concept of ‘working weekend’ takes on a …
The fact that I have to rely on Twitter and emails to tell what day it is says a lot about my current state of mind. But then again, when you freelance, weekends are not always much different to weekdays – unless you venture out somewhere where there are ‘people’ to do things that involve having a ‘life’. As things have been quite manic of late, and considering the amount of work I have to finish this month, this is …
