Carmageddon

09
Mar
2010

The interwebs and radio have been flooded with reports of the fatal drag race in Soweto yesterday, where two out of control Mini Coopers plowed into a group of kids walking home from school – killing all four of them. One of the drivers involved was local kwaito star JubJub (who is sadly rather talented, talk about a waste) who was allegedly pretty trashed on booze and cocaine. To add to the shit that this guy has caused, he is … Read More »

Have a nice heatwave!

04
Mar
2010

Watch, just as I finally get used to the heat in Cape Town, it’s going to ease and stop being so hot. I hope it at least carries on through the weekend, from here on out we will begin the descent into autumn and I want to max out my summer as much as I can. Today has been a bit of a blur, very busy and what with lunchtime missions, various proposals and meetings, lots of writing and proofing … Read More »

Hudson’s Burger Joint Mehs

01
Mar
2010

The copy team decided to do our occasional lunch mission today, and after a hugely awesome experience at Hudson’s Burger Joint on Kloof last year sometime, we decided to go the gourmet burger route. As it turns out, we should have maybe gone to Cactus, which was not only much closer but also could have saved us from the rather not ayoba service we got to enjoy. Having booked our table for six an hour or so before 1pm, we … Read More »

Epic iBurst FAIL*

08
Feb
2010

iBust does it again After being offline at home since Tuesday last week, and spending far too much time, airtime, energy and stress having to chase up this issue to get it sorted, finally this evening I am back online. The problem started when I got home from work last Tuesday to try and get online, only to get an error 691 (unauthorised access) message stating that my logins were not permitted on the iBurst domain. After calling support, I … Read More »

Manic Monday

01
Feb
2010

Finding this Lark song (from their epic show at Assembly last year) was about the only good thing to come out of this blasted day. That and the fact that the wind has finally eased off in Cape Town. Otherwise, from around 2am this morning when I was woken up by my tummy bug, it’s been a pretty stereotyped Monday. Lowlights included the following… 1. Post-awesome weekend slump, not helped by broken sleep 2. Meetings, issues, boss panics and dreariness … Read More »

Mindhunters… hmm

18
Jan
2010

So the other night I watched Mindhunters, and while it seems that almost everyone else I know loved this movie, I was not so convinced. It did however feature Christian Slater, LL Cool J and Johnny Lee Miller, so I can’t complain too much. The movie focus on an elite group of FBI agents in the making, who are doing tests to become profilers. Christian Slater plays J.D, the team leader, and Val Kilmer is the FBI boss type who … Read More »

Torture Thursday

07
Jan
2010

Dry needling: worse than tattoo needles, way worse. This morning I had needles stuck into my back, and I was prodded and clicked and aligned. It was my first session at a chiropractor, and all in all I think I did pretty well. Going again on Monday, hopefully this time there won’t be needles involved – from what I gather, the next sessions are never as scary as the first one. It’s a funny thing, I’m not a fan of … Read More »

SABC3 FAIL

01
Sep
2009

It never fails to make me laugh, every time I see yet another balls up with SABC3 programming. First, it was the mysterious floating clocks that would appear (usually during Isidingo) for a few seconds and then stop. The cut off shows that suddenly cut to ads mid-drama. The constant discrepancies between the TV guide and actual broadcasting. It’s almost like you start to expect bad programming, it’s that common. So you can imagine what a non-surprise it was when … Read More »

When in doubt, always go the wine & chocolate route

06
Jul
2009

Today my healthy ambitions came back to bite me in the bum. It’s been one of those Mondays, and to make up for my not-so-healthy lunch of Vida cappuccino and custard croissant thingy I ignored the wine isle and the peanut Chuckles at Woolies this evening after gym. Yes, vitamin water and salad stuff is probably better for me, but do you think that was comfort enough when I came home to find my bathroom flooded? It just isn’t the … Read More »

Tuesday Tunage: Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here

16
Jun
2009

I’m feeling a bit introspective today, lot on my mind and no outlet to process anything as I can’t run or go to gym til this stupid cold clears properly. You know that feeling of wanting to be somewhere else, another life, another universe – anywhere but here? Some Pink Floyd should help, closely followed by The Cure, Zed Zeppelin, Portishead and Bush. And more Cherry Med-Lemon. So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from … Read More »
