Victim Week: Victim #1
This week is VICTIM week. Every day this week I will be releasing a post whereby I forced asked someone to answer my inane questions of stupidity and randomness. No small animals were hurt in this process and chocolates were used at times to keep the interviewees awake/attentive.. Our first Victim is Cassey of @casseytoi fame… you can read all about Cassey here and here. She is incredibly funny and can be easily distracted by shiny things and stationary. Question Number One: If you were a Star Trek® [or Star Wars® ] character, which one would it be? (and why) Solo, he shot first. You got to like someone who takes action. Question Number Two: Why are manhole covers round? So that when they blow, it’ll be pretty? I suppose it’s to make it...
Fiddly Friday..
Just brought a big Bamboo palm to the new office and he was immediately name “Henry”… He just stands there all “Henry” like judging us with his leaves, who knew I would have a love/hate relationship with foilage!? Anyhoo, it is Friday people, forget about the fact that I discovered that I am going to have to recover 7 months worth of data before the end of Feb or that I am about to embark on a no carb/no sugar/no fun diet.. Lets forget all of that and EMBRACE the rest of what promises to be an interesting weekend if nothing else Here is a tickle for your fancy and I will see everyone here on Monday where I release my 5 Victims upon everyone via VICTIM WEEK!! [wow -> Stay tuned...
An almost OOPS!
It had been raining here a fair bit yesterday and when driving down the driveway at home last night I was delivered a very serious warning regarding the fragility of my existence… A branch had fallen across the driveway and only saw it as I turned the corner coming down. I tried to brake but between the moss and the berries the car did a slide instead with the car very almost going over the edge of the driveway which would’ve resulted in me being seriously hurt and the car being written off… I am glad I managed to regain control of the car when I did and even though I probably gashed the roof a fair bit (haven’t looked yet) I came out of it only slightly shaken up. Life is short and I was reminded of that last night. I have had a lot of...
Paparazzi must die *
*not really .. I have unfortunately had to come to the fast and furious realisation that I am getting Fucking Fat! And if SexyG takes one more photo of me when I don’t have my good side showing, I swear I am going to turn his blackberry into a permanent resident of his rectum.. *le Sigh* How did this happen and what to do.. what to do?? Watch this space for inspired ideas that may or may not work but at least I have conquered step one.. Acceptance (I think that is step one, and if it isn’t it should be ) xoxox TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsBriget P.S. This means of course I will not be visiting anyone or going anywhere till I can get this thing...

I live in South Africa, we have beautiful weather, beautiful people and the most beautiful countryside. Unfortunately we also have crap service and seriously crappy attitude in the workplace..particularly the customer service section. I am in the middle of a telecommunication nightmare with both Telkom & Vodacom. And in one instance was laughed at on the phone by a customer service agent of Telkom telling me not to phone back till the following week for a progress update as nothing is going to happen soon. Here is a small info graphic of what is going on: (Click to enlarge) So as you can see things are dismal but I refuse to allow it to get me down. As my BFF said this morning: “If you want to see the rainbow,you have to walk through the...
