coming clean…

Posted on December 20, 2011 by

I have a confession. Maybe it’s festive f*cking insanity or the dealing with daddy drama but a whole lot of clarity seems to be barrelling my way. Happy effing christmas right? Right. And before we roll into the new year, … Continue reading →

west coast pearl…

Posted on November 28, 2011 by

Once upon a not-so-long ago, I took a little trip up the west coast to the quaint former fishing village of Paternoster. Now, it bears noting Ma Ngnui almost moved there 15 years ago – but didn’t (the real estate … Continue reading →

graphically speaking…

Posted on October 17, 2011 by

One thing about Dax, he did love graphs. Which is funny when you consider he’s a hippy and supposed spiritual ‘guru’ (anyone spell I-R-O-N-Y?). But he did qualify as a engineer once so I think his brain’s naturally partial to … Continue reading →

Posted on August 6, 2011 by

One of my saving graces in high school (yuk, yuk) was English. I had a fabulous teacher and still carry one particular poem we studied in my heart. Like Pink’s Raise Your Glass (albeit subtler, graceful and infinitely more dignified) … Continue reading →
