Weekend of fun and lungs about to cave

Damn cold has snuck up on me and coughing like a trouper... my own fault for persisting in smoking so can't really bitch hahahaha! far too lazy to type out the weekend's fun, so here's a cheat - a copy paste from an earlier mail.

Friday night went to a braai at Shereen’s and her and Ian had bought steak for everyone which Eugene cooked to perfection – best steak I have had in a very very long time! Got home at about 11 and chatted to Dave who was online loading stuffs onto the Subterania site, and then decided I didn’t want to go sleep so decided to finally drag my butt off to Doors. Found the spot where my GPS said it was but couldn’t tell exactly which building as haven’t been there in about 2 years, so I asked the one car guard. He pointed and then said “I’ve got crack, rocks, or anything else you looking for, good stuff!”. LOLLLLLLLLLLLL never thought I’d be offered drugs by a car guard – welcome to JHB!! Cover was R20 which was fine, but then went to bar and damn near had heart failure after I ordered myself a tequila and a beer – R45!!!! As I’d only taken a R100 with me had pretty much 3 beers (switched to Labels which were R15) the whole time I was there. Pretty much people watched and enjoyed the music chilling on me own on upper level watching peeps dance below me, and DJ even played a song I requested so that was cool. Left when the lights came up and they started sweeping which was at around 5am. Will definitely go again and was the first time I’ve actually ever gone out on my own really without feeling self conscious or out of place, so was a little milestone for me he he he.

Saturday morning got woken up at around 8:30 by the dogs and then lazed in front of telly drinking Hot Toddy’s to try get rid of this cold (voice pretty much gone by the time I woke up) until Guy arrived at 12. Then went to check out Icon feeling like a f’n wreck on 3 hours sleep and with a cold. Icon is okay, but very much focused on Magic and Dawn of War 40000 or whatever that series is called, so that was a bit dull for me. If it was after pay day would’ve been cooler so I could actually get something but probably just as well as they had a few things would have loved to get. Outer Limits had a Sauron bobble-head!!! WIN!!!!!!! Animeworx also had a stand there and as usual some awesome Gundam kits. Spoke to the one dude from AWX and he will do 4 hours lessons with me in his home studio on airbrushing etc to do a MG Gundam properly for around R350, so will deffo look at doing that as soon as I can afford to; have to obv get the Gundam and tools first so will be a while as I’m sure that’ll cost....

After icon came home and was truly stuffed so had an hour and a bit snooze while Guy played Enchanted Arms, then was off to dinner at an Indian place in Rosebank called Bombay Blues for Nicole’s bday. Bought a massive can of Play en route and felt a lot better at dinner and more awake. Food was awesome and company was great – Shereen and Ian were also there and a friend of Nicole’s named Mocke (pronounced like the coffee) who is a film lecturer of some sort and a complete nutcase – he myself and Nicole were having lekker laughs about the underlying sexual connotations of the Catholic faith (eat my flesh, drink my blood etc). Mocke even sang Happy Birthday to Nicole loud at the table in an Elvis manner which you had to see and hear to appreciate. All that was missing was the jumpsuit and rhinestones...

Yesterday played some Gears with Guy and slept a little in the arvo, then watched telly pretty much til about 11 and got into bed to read and go sleep. Think my sleep pattern a bit too stuffed up, finished my book at about 3 this morn (Anthony Keidis’ autobiography which is really good reading) and this was with a cold and after a sleeping pill. This morn got woken by Paprika barking at gardener again at 8:30 so yet again too little sleep when I fully intended to sleep the cold off today. Ah well, awake and not feeling too bad and had a really fun weekend so all is well 

And that’s my essay :)

And here's a POI for today; bartenders now making Bioshock themed drinks! ORSM.

Weekend was great :)

Played Gears and GH with Guy saturday, then we went to Nicole's for an evening of Scrabble. First two words on baord - "panty" and "vans". It could only get more twisted and funny from there :) Had a great time and Nicole and I both have minds in the sewers - all the laughter with only tea about! Was orsm :)

Today Guy left at around three / four, then had myself a lovely long hot bath.... this single thing can be a downer sometimes it must be said LOLLLLLLLLLL Really been enjoying chatting to UK man; great sense of humour and .... stuff. LOL

Tomorrow will be fun, Charlene coming by and we're doing store visits in the day and then seeing Prime Circle at Barnyard Fourways tomorrow night. Looking forward to that, going to be awesome.

Right, off to tend to crops in Frontierville, then bed I guess. It is Sunday after all.

Pictionary is WIN

Yesterday picked Guy up and we played Gears, finished the first one and started on Gears 2, was great fun. Went to Nicoles for snacks and evening of board games; landed up playing Pictionary until 1:30 this morning. Was Nicole, Guy, myeslf and a friend of Nicole's Rika playing and we had many laughs :)3 women drawing, "picture" it HAHAHAHAHA.

Was really good to get out as Friday night was stressful here - not my drama for a change but landed up getting roped into it by sheer proximity. Wendy's dog Shaggy was knocked over Friday night and killed right in front of the house (there is a main street than runs past the front) which, coupled with too many drinks, seemed to make Wendy snap and go off at her family which ultimately resulted in cops being here and all sorts of crap. The worst about it at the moment is that Shaggy is still lying on a black bag right at the gate I use to get up to my cottage - I have to continuously walk past this poor dead dog :( I do hope they bury Shaggy soon, it's very sad to see.

Only fell out of bed at twenty to ten this morn and quickly went down to put a load of washing on, so going to go shower now, then hang the washing, then off to Shereen's place for a day potjie with her family and some of her friends, will be a great day I am sure :)

And tomorrow evening it's off to Cape Town!! YEAH!

Today's POI is more of Sheldon from BBT in the form of another t-shirt:
