We had quite a busy weekend. On Saturday I spent 6 hours revising & re-revising & then RE-re-revising our house plans to fit more realistically in line with our budget! Then yesterday we had a 2-hour meeting with our architect, Marc, at his & his girlfriend, Jolene's, place, followed by lunch with Chris & Tarryn at a small Italian restaurant in Sandton. (The boys call...

Is anyone out there as freaked out as I am about the fact that fuckhead Osama bin Laden is STILL out there, apparently alive & friggin' kicking!?! I read on news24.com today that his latest threat, made in an audiotape broadcast over TV station, al-Jazeera, marks the first time that he has been heard from in over a year, his silence adding to feverish speculation...

Hey there, I'm so flattered that you were concerened about me, that is quite an awesome thing to happen to me and I'm touched. I'm sorry that I made you worry, but sometimes things just get away from you and updating is not always high on the list.
I have replied to your mail, and am exited to meet and tattoo you, I hope you find it all in order, as for getting on like a house on fire, we do already, and meeting will only cement our freindship further. I can't wait.
How are things progressing with the young woman on the lower floor? You're such a naughty girl. LOL.
Take good care of yourself and loved ones.

I'm sitting here, listening to & falling in love with the new Apoptygma Berzerk album, "You And Me Against The World". Very different to their previous albums, but equally as brilliant! I have a sneaky suspicion that the track "Cambodia" is going to become a serious dancefloor hit...what we here in South Africa call a "treffer"!!

After battling it out in typical rainy rush-hour traffic yesterday afternoon, I arrived home to the delicious smell of baking. My man (who is still on his annual leave), decided to bake us a batch of caramel muffins. I kid you not!! What a lucky lady am I

Had a nice, relaxed weekend with my man. On Saturday afternoon we went through to Clearwater Mall (by far the best shopping centre in the whole of Johannesburg, in our opinion), where I picked up some stuff to start my scrapbook. Then we hired two DVDs (recommended to us by Ronwen): A Night at the Roxbury + Big Fish, & spent a quiet night in....

Ah.. no - smoking was banned on public transport I think in the early 80s. before I was born at any rate.. You aren't even allowed to smoke in those little.. booths they have at busstops.
I don't smoke anymore, I used to when I was a lot younger.
They would probably have picked a fight over anything really - all they wanted to do was act cool.

Had a really nice braai last night. Ro left at 10pm, but Rich ended up staying till 1am. It was 6 weeks to the day since Angie had died. We had a really deep conversation with him about sex, love, death, faith, life after death, etc, etc. We laughed together, we cried together, we questioned the enormity & mystery of it all. It was really...

Sorry to hear the year has begun on a bit of a downer, but a loss like that takes a while to heal, and is always close to the surface. Your love for Angie, is what will always keep her alive.
My year has started out pretty much like the last one ended, I wonder why that is LOL. Just another pesimistic spewing.
So when is your house going to be complete? I'm about to tackle some renovations at our place here in Northcliff, but the thought of dealing with contractors, makes me feel quite ill.
Well that's about it for now, you guys should pop in sometime, it's always good to meet other SGers.

Have just taken my hamster to the vet to get her nails clipped. Ohmygawd, what a bloody DRAMA QUEEN!!! After wriggling & squirming & trying to bite everyone in site during the entire 5-minute upside-down procedure, she then proceeded to pooh on the vet

I wish that America was more unprejudiced. Even though we have a wide range of race and cultures living here, I still do not think that we live in a fair nation. 
I've been wanting to get into manga art for a while now. In fact, Angela & Richard bought us a book with a whole bunch of ready-to-frame, full-colour manga prints plus a book on "How to Draw Manga: Female Characters" for our wedding. Last night I had a brainwave: with Ange as my inspiration, I will create my first really large-scale, commemorative piece for our...

You're a winter bunny ... until you hit the -16'C temperatures we have here some nights. 
But .. I do agree with you. I can't stand high-humidity heat like you have in Durban. (Or here in New Jersey in summer.)
So even in Joburg's dry summer heat, air-con in a car is not-negotiable.

Am back at work after a much-needed year-end break. Had a fabulous NYE party at Lara & Mervin's place. Lee & Warren were very civil towards one another; Yolanda & I got on like a house on fire. She even bought me a bottle of my favourite perfume - "to make up for 2 Christmas's & 1 birthday that [she] had missed" [due to our...
