Ragdoll raffles & raucous raunchiness TONIGHT

uh oh, I'll be spending another night with The Ragdolls... and this time there seems to be more being given away than just random Jägermeisters!

You can win, THEM!... but the question is who on earth can handle this prize? 

Having over the last few months steadily built up my ability to only just aaaalmost finish a full night with these nutters, I can honestly say whoever wins this prize instantly earns my respect! You'll also be winning the envy of a lot of people, because, let me tell you... you're about to have TONS of fun!

see their write up below!

The gloves are off. A combination of honest-to-god rock and roll music, untamed vocals with some of the raunchiest lyrics, and not to mention on-stage antics, you're likely to come across in this day and age.

there will be a R20 a raffle ticket.

what will you win?

• a Ragdolls CD.

• double tickets to every show of the cape town leg of the tour.(stones tableview w / the uncut... corner bar w / the uncut & the assembly with Taxi Violence + the uncut)
AND AND, the biggest prize.

• a Night out with the Ragdolls.
• You will not drive

• You will not pay entrance fees

• You will have plenty of free drinks (which means you'll wake up in the morning with your clothes still on, wondering why all your money is still in your pocket. and why there is a blow up sheep next to you)

• You will have an awesome time while we show YOU how to party!• You will be a Ragdolls VIP till you fall over and beg us to take you home.

All that, for just a R20 raffle ticket.. The more you buy. The more chance you have to win...

See you on Wednesday! Remember its the last time you'll be seeing them till the 17th of June!

Also performing on Wednesday night is Kombat Fudge

Kombat Fudge rocks. Formed back in ’99 in the beach suburbia of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, the 3-piece band went straight to work on an original rock sound that brought together elements of punk, funk, reggae, blues, jazz, metal and rock ‘n roll.Influences like Jimi Hendrix and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers float through the deep funk they produce, while pangs of Pantera creep into their hardest darkest sections, and when its time to just rock ‘n roll, in sneaks a little AC/DC tone.

Private Browsing

I completely agree! This private browsing sweater via Trend Insights is hilarious!

Am I mad though, to think it's also kinda cute in my opinion? Of course, it would definitely have to be a winter device... Can you imagine sticking your head into a wooly jumper in the middle of a South African summer? :P

Then again... can you imagine sticking your head inside anything that could blind you to approaching danger in South Africa, in any season :P

Absolutely, utterly hysterical! and a few other words you can find here!

Holy hat! when SamWilson1 pointed us in the direction of this blog I didn't realise I was going to let out one of those LOUD giggles that sometimes escape in the office?

How am I honestly supposed to keep up my appearance of a hard working lass, when there are things like this out there to distract me?
Here's to giving up and sharing some of my favourites...

Zipper sounds!

Innovative headphones by Ji Woong!
Now aren't these a beautiful solution to those stupid little rubber-band-like things? (They've always been one of those irritations my brain just never got over. It began as way back as that first sony walkman my dad brought back from Bangkok. I was so cool! Thanks for that brief moment dad :P)

Would love to see this in real life! Hope the volume control isn't a little too bulky, but I guess I'm pushing it seeeeriously if I think it could go smaller?
Hmmmm yes. Possibly ignore this last bit!

In other words, I still covet!

Formula 1 Cuisine Club Fun! - China

SO after attending my first ever and, I feel, very successful bachelorette party on Saturday night... it was with a thumping headache and suspicious bruises that I headed to the kitchen on Sunday morning.

I think i was attempting to experience panic that I had overslept by about half and hour but I'm not sure my body was listening to my brain at that stage yet! So HOW relieved was I to see a wonderful blonde man in my kitchen deftly chopping up some fruit and a fantastic mom standing at the microwave urging rice to get nice 'n fluffy! 

Honestly bless BOTH of you! 

x

This sunday was China at 9:00 in the morning which meant me preparing some sort of chinese breakfast! 

And here is what was on the menu! (Gaylin and I plan to start a seperate blog for peeps to follow along with! save you all your own research time :P But in the meantime I'll post here!)

• First up was "Chinese Fruit Salad" 

We made this minus the star fruit tho as I just couldn't find any anywhere! Fruit & Veg is really letting me down lately! 

We did put in some pomegranate for prettyness though and it looked great with the lemon rind sprinkled over the top.

•Then I TRIED to make "Eggs in Rice Nests" which should have been simple enough but I'm thinking the oven wasn't hot enough initially so the first few bowls came out with the rice quite dry... *sigh*

It's quite a cool concep tho! 

You make a savoury brown rice with chicken stock, then add some flaked almonds and spring onions and "Italian seasoning" (I added nice fresh bean sprouts too!)

Dish into bowls with an indent made in the middle.

Crack an egg into the hole you've made and sprinkle mozzerella around the edges :)

I think if the rice hadn't dried out as much it would have been pretty cool.

I'll definately try it again tho on a smaller scale – 15 bowls popping in and out of an oven was a little intensive for this noob of a kitchen kid!

and finally for something sweet

• Kat's cheeky chocolate springrolls!

Definately the hit of the meal as far as I'm concerned! Kat came over to also save me from myself that morning and was her usual star self! 

I also completely understand why she's addicted! they ARE easy to make and yum yum yum!! It's nutella heaven! hmmmmmm....

photo's coming to this post ASAP! x

Robot love

Robots are working for me of late!

Maybe I should specify. I'm loving illustrations of robots lately and this is definitely one of my favourites so far.

So if anybody would like to find me a t-shirt like this... or a poster even, feel very free to do so!
*grin*

note: Actually if I'm completely honest I'm loving quite a few things which start with the letter "R" lately! Natasha got me hooked!! grrr...

A Bright project in more ways than one I think!

The Bright Side Project has become one of my favourite visits every day! (or at least I attempt to visit as often as possible)

Lets just say it combines 2 of my very favourite things!

A place to chance upon designers I may not have heard of yet, aaaaaaaaaand free goodies!

It's a brilliant concept! A bright idea, as I'm sure you'll agree!

Honestly. If you're resisting the urge right now to go and immediately check this link, then I'm completely shocked by your lack of curiosity.Don't go disappointing me now *grin*

oh ok fine then, lazy bones... here, read this and THEN go take a looksee

The Bright Side Project is here to bring you a little metaphorical sunshine every day, to help you stop for a second and remember life is (still) beautiful and there is goodness in the world. Most importantly, The Bright Side Project strives to build fantastic exposure for those contributors who have been generous and kind enough to participate.

The Bright Side Project Part is dedicated to YOU. All you have to do for a chance to win is answer the artist/designer’s question in the comment section. Easy-peasy! I do hope you play along each day, as your answers make our days brighter and we all need a little reminder to look on the bright side...

See? Pretty cool huh? I absolutely love good intentions and sites spreading positive ideas!

Proudly South African

Well no, not exactly. Not yesterday anyway.

I guess I’m actually not too sure what to say about this whole farcical thing anymore, other than I truly do wish an ACTUAL trial had happened. Even if then, in the courts, it was not proven without a doubt that Zuma is as guilty as many believe, at least we wouldn’t all be sitting here still in some darkness to political shenanigans playing out around us.

But hey, it doesn’t make me any less South African (even if I’m only half Afrikaner tribe…:P)
and if there’s one thing we’re good at, no matter what, it’s poking a bit of fun to cheer ourselves up!

So here guys are some “Zuma Biscuits” I found online today. I spotted them on my trip to the SA National Gallery with Maresa as well but had forgotten about them.
Now apparently Stuart Bird didn’t mean to poke fun at Zuma when he created them. Rather he was making a statement representing how…

"Just like a child will take a cookie from his parents, without thinking of health or other consequences, that's how his followers swallow his utterances, without questioning them."

Nevertheless may they make your mouth tilt ever so slightly upward, as they did mine, while we wait to see what on earth happens next in the race to the polls.

the bizznaz!

thanks!
I have a better idea… how bout we just take your word for it?

Found this lovely example of packaging on one of Neil’s MANY trips to Garden Centre!
Someone remind me to find the gem of signage regarding their drinking policies. Or maybe I just have a very very silly sense of humour.

I’m not making too many excuses but, all I’m saying is, if you’re the kind of person who’s been cursed with a black thumb, don’t really enjoy sand or soil sneakily finding it’s way into places it shouldn’t be and suffer from melting disorder every summer… you find ways of entertaining yourself while your loved one oooh’s and aaah’s and thoroughly studies plant after plant. *grin*
It is pretty interesting a lot of it I will admit! Just every now and then my brain wanders.

do you deserve it?

aaah Karma...

I must say! Thank you for being so present these days!

When those degenerates’ tent blew down I had a good chuckle. When later his car battery died I was pleasantly surprised!

It's small things but I guess in the last year I've had some moments where my mom's words have finally rung brilliantly true. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you..."

Or as I've summarised it over the years it's kind of more along the lines of this

"Play nice, be considerate and kind...or karma will whoop yer ass!"

Good people don't always have good things happening to them. You'll receive trials and tests and seemingly insurmountable obstacles... you'll also be betrayed by people pretending to be a good friend but you will overcome them because you will have with you true good friends who love and appreciate you for who you are and who you try to be.

And bad people... well... they don't always have bad things happen to them. But thats life, good and bad.

Here's the catch though...once you've done things and pushed people away with your actions then what? I know without my friends I definitely wouldn't have come out sane, and I can only HOPE i manage to repay them, somehow, one day. I'm very grateful I haven't managed to push them away by hurting them somehow. I hope to never do that.

So that is why I'm writing this I guess. Just to acknowlege that I still believe (possibly naively) in a form of karma.

*psssst... if you're listening up there tho... lets not forget I've been waiting a nice long half a decade to see some kind of ass-kicking related to "the incidents". *grin* heheheh ok no that was a little eeeevil. whoops.

For this post I went hunting and found this great site The Devil’s Garage. I’m really enjoying his illustrations and believe I’ll subscribe to keep an eye on this fellow!

USB jewellery
Posted by TrendInsights

If you want to look cool carrying whilst carrying your USB, you can consider USB jewellery. USB jewellery spots fashion items that are both functional and highly fashionable. It ranges from cuff links, to bracelets and necklaces. The USBs are made of sterling silver, with two types of designs - matt finishing or shiny finishing. Each of the USB has a storage capacity of 2GB, with upgrades available. All details are handmade in Berlin by industrial designer Tonia Welter and jewellery designer Julia Reymann.

I’m still thinking it’s just a matter of time till I can plug myself straight in. One day Keyna, one day.

In the meantime I really wouldn’t mind these pretty little trinkets. pleez?

 

you know I did…

so everyone has by now haven’t they?

I found these stored in a file for a rainy day to bring a smile to my face.
It’s not raining but that’s no reason not to have another look ‘n giggle.

Go on if you haven’t. Yearbook yourself!

Here are some of my fav’s

not too bad?

the frightening thing here is I look almost identical to my Ouma in the 70’s

Young Michael Jackson eat your heart out!

       My fringe is often conspiring to reach these proportions!

aaaah SA Politics... I love you

IFP: Julius our Grand Hero
2/02/2009 22:47 - (SA)

Cape Town - Inkatha Freedom Party Chief Whip Koo va der Merwe paid tribute to ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema on Thursday, as the "grand hero" of all opposition parties.

"On behalf of all opposition parties I wish to pay tribute to the Grand Hero of all Opposition parties - Mr Julius Malema," Van der Merwe told the National Assembly."

Never in the glorious history of this land have opposition parties had such a magnificent organiser canvassing votes by the thousands for opposition parties.

"Never in the history of the ANC has any human being effectively sabotaged the ANC as much as our Grand Hero Julius Malema," he said.

"I am personally so grateful for our Hero's unstinting efforts to win votes for the opposition that I am prepared to start a fund to contribute to his expenses.

"Julius, old boy, thank you very much. Siyabonga kakulu, mfane. Please continue your magnificent efforts. And, Julius, please don't allow civilized people in the ANC to derail you from your efforts."

"You will go down in political history as the Grand Hero of the Opposition and the Magnificent Mampara of the ANC," Van der Merwe said.

Earlier on Thursday, Malema issued his latest unconditional apology for insulting Education Minister Naledi Pandor about her "fake American accent" on Wednesday.

"I acknowledge that the remarks I made against you were uncalled for and might have disappointed and hurt you.

"I write this letter to unconditionally apologise for those remarks," Malema said.
