I like pretty things. Pretty things with a meaning are even better, so I was excited to find beautiful paintings by Kelly Reemtsen over on Sabu‘s page earlier this week. I went to Kelly’s website, and found Falling For Him:

One of the first things I did when I got the wireless set up on my computer was download Elle Varner’s mixtape, Conversational Lush. I’ve been excited about her music since I discovered OWGITY on one of the tumblr pages I was browsing way back in October, and if this is a taste of whatContinue reading “"You Know, Like, When A Song…"”

At 18:30 when the girls and I left res to beat the ticket rush, I was excited. I think it’s safe to say I have not been that keen for a party in a long while.But this wasn’t going to be just any party. This was going to be the party which would make allContinue reading “RAG/Parity Hip-Hop Party”

I complained and complained about having to come back to school early. And complained even more when I found out that the Social Work department has us doing practicals from today already! I went to bed with the most excruciating pain in my right temple: my first serious tension headache for 2012. Wow. While it’sContinue reading “Wits O-Week- The End of Me”

Regular readers already know that I am obsessed with YouTube. I’ll go on to watch “just one song”, and then 5 hours later I will have laughed, sang and danced my way through the most random comedy skits, What The Buck episodes and old, cheesy I-swear-I-didn’t-know-any-better favourites. Well, this time I found something which IContinue reading “Piano Rock + Salsa Rhythms = AMAZING”

I’m sitting on my bed using up my dad’s last megabytes (bless him- he has his moments) and dying of the flu. Okay. Maybe not dying- but it is quite uncomfortable. I’ve been inhaling Vicks and washing my food down with Benylin for the past 2 days- not fun. And, as I am faced withContinue reading “It’s All Up In The Air”

South African music in 2011 has been absolutely amazing. If it wasn’t the DJs- Euphonik, Kent, and Monotone, to mention a few- it was the hip-hop artists telling us to stand up for a Victory Lap, or to Jiva Sfabulous. After that, we had Lira and Zonke making names for themselves abroad, making way forContinue reading “Saffa Tjoons 2011”

After being at home for a few weeks, especially when it gets around to Christmas and New Year’s, my  will to do much else but eat, watch TV and stalk people’s Facebook profiles is pretty low. I came across this old Cyanide and Happiness cartoon while I was reorganising the files on my computer (thatContinue reading “Cabin Fever Sets In”

I’ve been home for 2 weeks now, and in that time I have: Watched a whole lot of bad TV Tried to get back into reading newspapers Made, scratched, and re-worked fantasy holidays in my mind Bought a hula hoop (I haven’t actually used it just yet) Marvelled at the amazing first issue of Rolling StoneContinue reading “Quick Update”

After that dismal Psychology exam, and the hassle of losing my student card to that hungry vortex which Murphy so fatefully miscalculated, what I need is something to remind me that it’s just one bad day, and I will surely get over it. While most people (read: most university students) would automatically turn to alcohol,Continue reading “Woza Ngokushesha Bo, December!”
