    If I could come back as a drag queen, in my next life – I’d want to be Cher!

  • 8Tagg – a blogospheric answer to fb…

    … and a lot easier than running around the school yard!

    So there’s this meme floating around the blogosphere – let’s call it 8Tagg, seeing as how it requires you to reveal 8 things about yourself that people don’t know.

    First you list aforementioned 8 things.

    Then you “tagg” a string of your blog-buddies. (This is apparently done by hotlinks, pingbacks and somesuch. I’m placing my hope on Technorati to inform those I tag, seeing as how Blogger doesn’t support pingbacks – as far as I know.)

    Tagging someone makes them “It” (fond memories right there…), which means they now have to do the same.

    So, in the spirit of Twain’s first meme, here goes:

    1. I never ended an educational phase (pre-primary, primary, secondary, tertiary) in the same school I started it. With my Dad being one of the few Land Surveyors in SA, we moved around a lot. I guess it became a habit.

    2. I’m a Geminian Earth Horse (Gemini sun and rising, Sagittarius moon, year of the Horse etc). This apparently also explains my bouts of wanderlust.

    3. I love writing, but I suck at correspondence. (Okay, maybe you knew that *lol*)

    4. I have an immense urge to snap my fingers over the flame when people light their cigarettes with a candle. (Somewhere deep inside, my inner child still believes that fairies die if you don’t.)

    5. I joined AA at the beginning of 2008. (Not very anonymous of me, is it?)

    6. I’m addicted to puff pastry – especially if it’s baked around a Russian. (But I try to avoid all starch in my diet.)

    7. Quitting smoking was harder than quitting alcohol or starch. (1 month and 20 puff-free days now!)

    8. I fall in love with faces. (Flickr breaks my heart every week ;0) hehe.)

    Now, who’ll be “It” then? checkitout:

    – Geoff – my best blog-buddy, all the way from Idaho,

    – Jayx – one of the zaniest characters to’ve lit up my life since my move to the Garden Route,

    – Tresblue – he who got me blogging for real,

    – Jockohomo – I’m a fan! A giant of the online world and my daily dose of provocation/inspiration,

    – Warrior Scout – he who’s kickin tina and inspiring me along the way.

    I’ve tried not to tagg people who’ve already been 8Tagged. If I inadvertently did so, please accept my sincere apologies.

    (Please advise if I’m somehow not adhering to proper online conduct in tagging you, or transgressing in any other way for that matter.)

  • Your Stars Foretold : By E.S. Kom (The Future Made Clear – dark, but clear – eish)

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 21) : Things will be pretty dark for you today, unless you remember to buy new torch batteries.

    Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21) : You’ll probably eat cold, raw food again today.Try to remember to get that gas cylinder filled! Be cheerful, though, and remember that your ancestors lived like this and survived – 25,000years ago.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 22) : There will be a programme on TV tonight that you’ll love. Sorree that you can’t watch it ’cause it’s on during your allotted “block” in the Eskom disco derby…

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 23) : Thought you were smart buying that generator? But we know you’re going to run out of fuel tonight and the nearest working petrol station is 20km away. As you get there, we’ll cut their power… Sorry.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 24) : Another morning without that essential cup of coffee awaits you… If you make it to 10am we’ll reward you with enough power to make some, but by then you’ll probably have killed 3 people and severely injured a 4th. (Don’t worry, though. This is the New SA – you’ll probably get away with it.)
    Virgo (Aug 24- Sep 23) : Not for very much longer… What else is there to do after dark?

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 23) : Your star-sign stands for fairness and justice. That’s why we’re going to hit your area with three 2hr outages a day, while the area where your local MP stays will enjoy uninterrupted power throughout.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 23) : Your area’s assigned outage “block” is from10:00 to 12:30. Expect the power to go off any time before or after that. And don’t think it will only be out for two-and-a-half hours, either.

    Sagittarius (Nov 23- Dec 22) : Today you’ll buy some food that is apparently within its sell-by date. What you won’t realize is that the sell-by date is for food that has been stored in a constantly operating fridge…. Although you’ll get severe food poisoning, we think you may survive if you can find an emergency ward that has back-up generators. Good luck!
    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 21) : Don’t bother to go to work today. During the hours when you actually will have electricity, your network provider will not, so you won’t be able to do anything anyway. Stay home and well…. there’s not much to do there either, is there?

    Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 20) : Today you’ll get so fed up with our incompetence that you’ll decide to emigrate. We regret to inform you that this is no longer possible… The airports have all shut down, because – well think about it! They need electricity to run the place!! You ain’t going – nowhere…

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 21) : Today all your hopes and dreams will come true. You’ll have power during “Days of Our Lives”.

    If today is your birthday : Use lots and lots of candles on that cake – even if they don’t reflect your age. How else are you going to see to open the presents? You will receive the ideal gift – your very own miner’s helmet!!

    And with the Soccer World Cup coming our way in 2010:

  • Your own Album meme!!

    I’m not too clear on the series of fortunate hyperlinks that led me to the blog of AtomicMrX – but I’m glad whatever happened, happened! I found this cool meme-post on his page (which he got from This Boy Elroy, who, in turn, got it from… you know how memes work).

    The idea is to combine the following steps (chaos theory anyone?) to create a brilliant new album:

    1. The first article title on this (random) wikipedia page, is the name of your band.
    2. The last four words of the very last (again, random) quote is the title of your album.
    3. Finally, the third (you guessed it, random) Flickr picture – no matter what it is – will be your album cover.

    Easy.

    My band, Render Plus Systems, will soon have an awesome cover for their debut album “Taking hold of it” – based on this photograph by »Ŗǿćҝ ĢĩяŁ«™:

    I’m too lazy to fire up Photoshop right now – but you get the picture ;0)
