Dial-a-Vice Correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been one of those days, but why the hell isn’t there some sort of service that delivers wine and chocolate when you need it? There’s pizza and Mr. Delivery and flowers and just about everything else, but I can’t just call a number and make my selection of Porcupine Ridge Sav Blanc and perhaps some Lindt Chili Intense, and then have it delivered to my door, at a reasonable price (no delivery fee, … Read More »

… but it certainly appreciates a good laugh – especially at our expense. I had barely had time to sleep on my wonderful reflective post with all the lack of Dark Def Leppard Days when I woke up feeling like death warmed over. First, I hardly slept last night and woke up a few times from nightmares, cats crashing around my room, drunk bergie lady screaming and crying outside in the road and shooting pains in the arm that I … Read More »

Dark Def Leppard Days: Not too many lately, thank god I was going through my blog archives today, and marveling at how much I have changed – how much life has changed – over the past year or two. So much that I thought I knew, and believed in, and hoped for has shifted, and sometimes it feels like I only really hit maturity on my 28th birthday.

Anyway, over the last few days I have been indulging in a bit of pride. Self-pride and also a sense of pride at what my awesome mom has been doing lately… My mom has always been a brilliant gardener, as far back as I remember. A few years back she joined the … Read More »

I was on the Peta UK blog earlier, and came across the extremely upsetting and awful case about 17 month old Baby P, who died in August last year year from horrendous abuse. Currently the government, social workers, police and media in the UK are trying to determine who is to blame for this, and the baby’s mother, her lover and a lodger have all been arrested for ‘allowing or causing’ the baby’s death… but they were cleared of murder. … Read More »

I still haven’t gotten around to putting together a post on Hermanus Chillax, will get there soon though. Anyway, today I was walking down Long Street with my sister and I thought how unfair the universe can be. Some people, like moi, find office life extremely unbearable, and the thought of having to work to the clock again is a very, very bleak one indeed. As I have said many times, I love freelancing – the flexibility to choose your … Read More »
