hm. you know, having had a bit of a chance to think about it [once i crawled out from under the pile of stones] i think there is some point to the judgements that have been made. i say 'judgements' because they have come across like that which i find very sad. maybe it's in line with the fact that it's virtually impossible to read tone into emails and so someone might be saying 'hey, [...]
this might sound like a devious marketing scheme, but it's not - everybody should do the TheatreSports course, everybody... for those of you who have no idea what TheatreSports is, where have you been? Only Cape Town's longest running live show [and best kept secret it seems way too much] TheatreSports is our local 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' type improv comedy show where absolutely everything is made up on the spot - two teams [...]
continuing the interview with local muso Ashton Gardner: what are your thorts/feelings when it comes to worship music? quite a general question but i imagine when someone hears 'worship music' they think 'ah the 30 minute music time in the church' - do you think it's bigger than that at all? what makes music worship-full? -You know Brett, that word is spelt ‘thoughts’. I have been waiting a long time to tell you that. I [...]
time for a new local muso to interview and for those of you who have never crossed his path you are missing it - let's get to know Ashton Gardner: so Ashton, i don't even know where i know you from - possibly meadowridge links? - but you are one of those guys it feels like i've always kinda known but not really - tell us, where are you these days and what are you [...]
so the new word doing the rounds which pretty much means cool, radical, brilliant, fantastic or an enthusiastic combination of those is the word 'toyoda' which is pronounced toe-yoda and not to be confused with the car of the similiar sounding name - so for example i scored two goals in my hockey game on wed night but the second one where i stopped the ball in the circle and lifted it over the keeper's [...]
wow, someone sent me the link to this article written by helen zille about two matrics - Asavela Rawe ('a 17-year old boy, who lives in a backyard shack with his single mother and three siblings, and achieved 7 distinctions in matric, including 97%for Higher Grade Mathematics and the top award in the Western Cape for Life Sciences') and his friend Monde Simbosini ('three distinctions and 98% for Higher Grade Mathematics') - from Masibambane high [...]
sometimes i like to picture Jesus in a modern day setting and wonder how His life and ministry would have looked if it was 2011 when God decided to come to earth in human form to settle the original score instead of 2000ish years ago would He have watched movies or played computer games? Would He have had His own Facebook page or blog? Would Jesus own a cellphone (my thorts are He probably wouldn’t [...]
just got the word 'diverges' over two triple words (e on a double letter, s was a blank) and scored 167 in online scrabble which is some 40 plus points more than my biggest word before... was a game my beautiful wife started with a 7 letter word so a nice comeback and i finished with 500 plus for i think the second time ever. in other news just made some savoury muffins with which [...]
so last nite the beautiful val and myself went off to support theatresports stalwart megan furniss' new directed play 'Good Will Acting' at the Kalk Bay theatre, strangely enuff in Kalk Bay and had a really fun and delightingful time. you should go! no really, do it! the two part play revolves around the concept of four out of work actors (the corporate they were booked for was cancelled) during the december holidays who eventually [...]
what next? leaving the old people outside for the coyotes to finish them off...? sounds far fetched maybe, but i have just been thoroughly revolted by what i have just read [and i know in this day and age we can get mildly upset and tut tutty and each-to-their-own-device but maybe it's time for people to stand up and SHOUT WILDLY AGAINST THIS KIND OF FILTH...] and we need to draw a line... it started [...]
