Yesterday, I had a brush with the gritty side of apartment life. After resigning myself to the fact that doing a load of laundry would cost me R12, I went up to the 14th floor of the Broadway apartment building in Braamfontein, to check out the facilities, so I could know exactly what I wouldContinue reading “Apartment Building Life: Don’t Believe the Hype”

It seems like 2013 is going to be the year of the “hey, I’m still here” single. Almost two weeks ago, Destiny’s Child announced that they would be releasing a new single, which would be part of their Love Songs album. The album is going to be made up of their most romantic singles, releasedContinue reading “New Music: Unofficial "Comeback songs" from JT and Destiny’s Child”

After we eventually met up with the cab driver, we drove to the hotel in silence; half-asleep and, I believe, not fully conscious of where we actually were. I don’t think it was easy for any of us to understand that we were actually in Paris: we’d survived our first overseas flight. (That’s a bigContinue reading “A Week In Paris (Part Two)”

Last December, I had my very own once-in-a-lifetime experience, when I set off for Paris with my family. I had never been overseas, and I was waiting until I had an amazing job that paid me a jetsetter’s salary before I even looked at flight prices, so I was incredibly excited when my dad gaveContinue reading “A Week In Paris (Part One)”

This song from Kid Cudi is one of my favourites at the moment. It’s like a love song, but for sensitive stoners. Watch the video, and you’ll understand:

In my last post, I promised those of you that are still out there reading this blog that I would be back with my first “real” post for the year in about two weeks, and here I am now. Few things make me happier than a steady connection to the internet, that doesn’t come withContinue reading “[Teaser] Versailles, With A Twist”

Hi 🙂 I’m sitting in McDonald’s, using up the free wi-fi that I wish someone had told me about way at the beginning of the holidays – before I lost my sanity.Anyway. If you’re reading this, THANK YOU. Thank you so much for still coming back to check this page, even though I leave youContinue reading “Are You Still Out There?”

I just finished reading Jane Raphaely: Unedited, and I am so glad that I did.It offered me perspective into the industry I so badly want to be a part of (magazine publishing), the impact it has on a person’s personal life, and the hard work it takes to be successful in this type of work.Continue reading “Memoirs of the Original Hustler”

I really wish I had been born in the 80s. Then I would have an excuse to wear really big hair, gaudy jewellery, and oversized, colourful clothing (which is somehow still so stylish).I would’ve been so happy then. The best place to get information on the “spirit of the times” is, of course, in musicContinue reading “Born Too Soon? (Or: "Oh, To Have Been A Teen In the 80s…")”

I like to read up on and follow the lives and careers of women who I think are inspirational. It’s great for days when I’ve had one bad assignment after another, the arrows pointing out the the direction of my life have been blown asunder by the winds of life, and I feel like there’sContinue reading “Now Reading: JR’s Memoirs”
