Nic Danger and the Rise of the Space Ninjas... and his moustache.

My friends at the Pink Couch and another friend, Nic, are putting on a show at the Arena Theatre from tonight till the 19th of Feb.

It's brilliant.

Nic graduated from UCT at the end of last year with this piece as his final theatre-making project and it was extremely well-received on the evening I watched it. I'd say that if some awesome punk were to put together a play doing whatever he wanted - hilarious kick-ass songs written by himself, action man games, Americomedy (South Park) humour and a story line that totally blows his own horn - this would be the epitome of that awesomeness. So I'd say watch it, for sure, because you'll leave the theatre with tears in your eyes from laughing so hard. Booya.

Actor: James MacGregor.

If you wanna be cool, kiss my ass for event details.

Cheers x

Garage Sale

GARAGE SALE


One man's trash is another man's treasure
As one woman's junk gives others pleasure.

Cash and carry, no checks or credit cards
With bargains in the driveways and signs in the yards.

Some serve hot dogs, Kool-Aid and cut-rate pop
Some fly flags and balloons to make us stop.

Some will arrive before the garage sale starts
Using their vehicles as shopping carts.

Half of all purchases are sold again
At the buyer's own sale or to a friend.

So clean out your closets and the basement too
And earn some income with no taxes due.

Load up your tables and grab a good chair
Then plug in a fan to stir up the air.

The money you make you can spend again
Shopping for yourself, loved ones or friend.

My friend Alex had a wonderful garage sale last Saturday and I seemed to have found everything very aesthetically pleasing - the clothes, the lights, the people. So, I encourage you to go, if you can, when she has another one. I'll try to remember to post here if she does or just find Alexandra Wunderlich on facebook and ask her for details. The garage is in Junomar Court, Camp Street, Gardens (right opposite Saigon parking lot, so you can park there and you should see it).

Bon Voyage xxx

Imogen Heap.

A graphic depiction of 05.02.11...

Apple thieves waiting to be crushed by a plutocrat in a Hummer and then watch IMOGEN HEAP!

Paul Cluver Amphitheater. What a set.

Look who we spotted in the crowd...!

...and look who we spotted on stage...!?

Arb Single Guy

Finally, we're introduced to Imogen fucking Heap. Wow.

And then something not-so-wow.

And then a suspenseful wait before Heap's set starts, for real, sans Emma.

She comes on stage and explains which buttons mean what,
and which instruments were given to her by 'mum'.

She plays and she plays and she plays and we just watch. And watch. And watch.

"WE LOVE IMOGEN" - our sign (thanks, Catherine!) goes up on the branch of donations.

The mission for the front seats was so worth it.

Someone's boyfriend really wanted some sex.

And then Imogen dared us to sing her song.

More music. More awe.

"If I could do this part every morning, my life would be pretty sweet. Well, actually it's already pretty sweet,
but it would be even more amazing if I could do this every morning."

Curtain call with the awesome drummer and cellist couple.

And, last but not least, Hide and Seek.

What an evening...

Gay Marriage, Horse Affair, Mexting.

So, this is not quite a facebook status of the day, but rather a post of the day. Gabi Pinto, a friend from varsity posted this link on someone else's wall and it caught my eye. I watched them several times over. Love the style - the music, the black and white, the detail, the stories, the actors, all of it. My favourites: Javier Bardem, Vincent Cassel, James Franco and Matt Damon.

Enjoy xxx

Catherine, my good friend, has popularized this website: www.ffffound.com (yes - four fucking 'ef's) in our friend group. So, occasionally, I have a squizz and this is an image I found today that I liked. I agree with everything on it. I reckon. Yes. Cheers.

Reading really IS crucial. Only just starting to figure that one out...

Medicine. Always a laugh.

I went to Kirstenbosch yesterday and found myself taking pictures in the "Useful Plants" garden... This is the advice I came across:

Sexual Healing

'Butterfly Bush' - treats gonorrhoea

'warm Icholocholo' - dressing circumcision

'Sorghum' - used to make beer

'Stalked Bulbine' - taken to stop diarrhoea

The ultimate: 'Wild Dagga' - soothes headaches

Facebook Stalking.

Fun fact for the day:

"59 percent of people stay Facebook friends with their exes and 74 percent Google them."


haha.

Ian Gabriel

My dad's in Argentina shooting a Pepsi commercial (eugh). I sent him my new CV and mentioned what Janet said about my front teeth "not doing anything for my look" and this was his response:

Ah, the front teeth thing. Its a Gabriel trait, I never notice it, think ewe all look cool the way we are and would hate you to have smaller teeth.  However, she’s an agent so knows these things, if you do smile in a more contained way, don’t let it take away any warmth or conceal your openness- she’s right - your strong points are your, warmth  charisma and open face. And the fact that you can act.

Note the lack of reference to the actual CV itself.
Haha. I love my dad.

Best Status.

I decided today that every now and then (hopefully every day but I'm trying not to be unrealistic), I'm going to post my favourite fb status - as in someone else's. I'm putting it under the label "fb status" so eventually, when you want to see all my favourites as a collective bunch of fb status', just click on that label in my cool little label constellation on the right hand side of my posts :)


Today:
