While a group ofContinue reading “Celebs In the Buff, Girlish Giggles, and A Worthy Cause”

The Creeper Files: Twitter ‘Favorites’, and why I Clicked the Orange Star

I think I am using Twitter the wrong way. I use it to see what other people are saying about their daily lives, what they are obsessing over, what they are debating about, and sometimes what they are eating for lunch. I am looking to see what other people are tweeting, but I hardly doContinue reading “The Creeper Files: Twitter ‘Favorites’, and why I Clicked the Orange Star”

The Heat Is Melting my Face, and I Might Take Up an Interesting Pastime…

I have spent a lot of time talking to myself this week. I talk to myself about what I have to do that day, I ask myself questions about what on earth the other people in the house are always making so much noise about… I watch videos and make comments and laugh by myself.Continue reading “The Heat Is Melting my Face, and I Might Take Up an Interesting Pastime…”

The First Days

My new life, in bullet points: I now live in Observatory. I have way too much stuff, and not enough storage space. This problem is compounded by the fact that I am too short to reach the locker for my room. I hate the registration process! It never, ever gets easier: too many forms andContinue reading “The First Days”

Questions to Consider (Or: "I Don’t Make Resolutions, But if I Did, This Would Be A Cool Way to Go")

Jess, of Skyscrapers and Skylines, posted a list of questions on her page a few weeks back, and they got me thinking. Supposedly, the answers to these questions help you to evaluate the past year and make plans for the new one. I had never considered some of them before, and others turned out toContinue reading “Questions to Consider (Or: "I Don’t Make Resolutions, But if I Did, This Would Be A Cool Way to Go")”

On My Way

It’s the 21st of January, and while others have been back at school or work for two weeks already, I feel my year has yet to start. I have a lot to think about in 2014: where I will work, how I will like the new city I’m moving to and, most importantly, what IContinue reading “On My Way”

Seventeen Magazine South Africa has been Discontinued

For about seven years now, I have been an avid reader and loyal fan of Seventeen magazine. I have followed the South African edition through three editors’ tenures- from Justine Stafford, to Khwezi Magwaza until the final years with Janine Jellars. When I first heard that the magazine would no longer be published back inContinue reading “Seventeen Magazine South Africa has been Discontinued”

HBD: A Playlist To Ring In A New Year

Happy birthday to me! I’m having cake for breakfast and preparing to have my own little dance party before the festivities continue later today.They say 22 is a weird age, because it’s “neither here nor there”. I don’t know- I’ll have a verdict on that at around 00:01 on the 14th of November. For now,Continue reading “HBD: A Playlist To Ring In A New Year”

Yet Another** YouTube Video: Fairytales and A Capella

What do you get when you combine a capella, some of everyone’s favourite Disney stories, a 21-year-old film student and YouTube? You get Jon Cozart, and his great parody of famous happily-ever-afters, and where those people would be if they lived in the real world now. http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/diU70KshcjA&source=uds Who doesn’t like to pick apart the storiesContinue reading “Yet Another** YouTube Video: Fairytales and A Capella”

The Neighbourhood – Sweater Weather (Or: This Is How I Study)

I don’t own sweaters, I own jerseys; and I don’t like the cold, or having to bulk up against icy winds. But there is something about this song that has me longing to own one of these, and walk along the beach at sunrise. http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/GCdwKhTtNNw&source=uds There is also this cute choreography video that I found:Continue reading “The Neighbourhood – Sweater Weather (Or: This Is How I Study)”
