Rock Star Weekends

So the family got together this weekend and decided to have a pooitjie for Sunday lunch. The well-informed had lunch before they arrived, as we later found out that a good pooitjie takes about 4 hours to cook!

Needless to say, when the 4 hour mark came up, we were hungry enough to start gnawing the legs off the tables. Thankfully, the pooitjie was delicious (as can be seen in the pic above.)

A game of 30 Seconds followed, and I have never laughed so much in one afternoon. I shall refrain from going into details as I may be banned from any further family outings and lunches if I do.

The week ahead is going to be manic, so it's fitting that the weekend ended on an absolute high.

On a final note, Windhoek is NOT on the way to Cape Town, and Mel Gibson DID NOT betray Jesus ;)

Is This The Worst Video Clip Ever?

This video clip is so shit on so many levels, it's actually funny. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes viral based entirely on its shittiness.

I can't decide which is worse: The make-up of that bald dude, the ridiculous blackness of being of the victim, or the script which they obviously cocked up somewhere in translation.

Watch it and be forever changed. Or not.

The Road Is Calling

I've browsed through my last few posts and found a common thread of bitching about how busy I've been and how hectic my weeks are lately.
I think it's time for another holiday, or at the very least a road-trip that lasts an entire weekend and has no destination.

In other news, we had a crazy electrical storm in the area about a month back, and it blew my TV and satellite dish to smithereens. I was tempted to do the manly thing and take it as a sign from a higher being that I needed to upgrade from a 50inch LCD TV to a 70Inch LED one.... but then I had a rethink and figured "Let's see what life is actually like without a TV."

Amazingly the entire family has survived, and even more surprising is how much time we've had to do the things we once loved: Reading, family bonding, writing, listening to music, calling relatives at odd hours just to chat (especially fun if done during Survivor or American Idol"), and of course blogging.

Watch this space for the update on the pending vacation.

SA Fashion Week

So the other day I was at my client's building, and all these really beautiful models were all over the place like rice at a Chinese wedding because one of the tenants, SA Fashion Week to be precise, was having a photo shoot.

Anyways,being surrounded by all that skimpiness made me realize two things:
1) I haven't had a Seattle Skinny Latte in a long time.
2) I haven't uploaded some fashion disasters since the last time I uploaded some fashion disasters.

So without further ado, I present to you this month's Top Ten Fashion Fails.

Enjoy.

Ok so some of these made me throw up a little,especially the family pic with the mom and her moustache!

Back to my paperwork. These deadlines aren't going to meet themselves you know!

Not Another Monday!

This is exactly how I feel at the start of every week.
Some day's your'e the windscreen, and some day's your'e the bug. This past week was especially horrendous. It's quite possible I may have taken on more than I can chew, since my projects current and future mean I may possibly miss the upbringing of my child over the next 15 years.

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

The thing I like about Adele is how she moves me with her vocals, while sitting on her chair and not having to move herself. None of that skimpy-clad gyrating stripper moves or prancing about like a concubine.
She just opens her mouth and sings.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I'm sitting on my bed overlooking my sprawling garden in all it's lush green and bright colours, while a soft drizzle falls like watery kisses onto the carpet I call my lawn.
This day couldn't be more perfect if Shakespeare wrote about it or MichaelAngelo painted it.

I truly am blessed, even if I do bitch and rant and rave every chance I get.
All things considered, I wouldn't change anything about my life one little bit.
Also, this weed my Rasta friend gave me is damn awesome!
*just kidding*
