Man it's a hot one...

...like seven inches from the midday sun.



Guess who's performing in town tonight? And guess who's going?

Rob Thomas. Live 'n direct. Tonight, 8pm. Denver Convention Centre.

It cost me fiddy bucks which I can't quite afford at the mo with all my galavanting, but what the hell - livin' it up, ya'll.

Daylight savings

Saturday was the end of daylight savings time. Or was it the beginning? Whatever it was, we had to turn our clocks back one hour, which was really fucked up cos no one told me! Somehow, the whole of Denver managed to keep this prank from me without anyone spilling the beans.

On Sunday I was on the tee box a whole hour before everyone else. Kriek kriek.

For fuck sakes, this country!

Ah f' fuck

Check the temp today at noon. Seven frikken degrees Celcius. Wind chill at 5 degrees. Eish!

News from one fucked up Halloween weekend

So we cracked the nod to one of the biggest Halloween block parties in town. A small street of houses opened their doors and garages to random strangers for a massive free for all - kegs, food and bitches were all there for the taking. But all the fun was to be had in the street. Coincidentally, all the girls to be had were also in the street.

If you’re wondering what I went as, I was a “frikken cold Safrican in 5 degree Denver”. Original.

Halloween? Hallooooo nurse!


Some of the crazy ones, and some bee-yay-yelters. Check Mrs Incredible. Boy was she incredible – spandex is not for everyone. But if you are one of the lucky few, flaunt it!!! By far the hottest chick there, she spent all night dancing by herself. So decided to challenge her to a dance-off. I fucken DESHTROYED her. I just wish I had the pics to prove it! Reminds me of the night at Odds before I left SA…












Even animals get dressed up.

Halloweezy in da offeezy

So the office totally broke the stereotype of typical companies in our industry - you know, stuck-up, no personalities, rigid and just plain boring kinda office life and staff.

Check our Halloween party we had on Thursday. We occupy four floors in a highrise, and offices, passages and conference rooms on all four floors were transformed into horror and haunted houses and the like. Then the staff's kids were invited to come trick or treat.

Halloween is frikken huge here, and SO much fun. I just wish they let me know that I had to dress up.

I didn't get any work done the whole day, just messed around and helped decorate the office (but that just meant that I had four days to do 50 hours of work!!)

Wacko jack-o-lantern

Monday is Halloween. So I'm getting ready and into the spirit of the festivities - got me a pumpkin, got the kitchen knives and 35 minutes later, voila! Jack-o-lantern!

So here are some instructions on how to carve a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern:

Step 1:
Get a pumpkin. $2.99 at King Soopers.


Step 2:
Cut out a whole on the top to scoop all the pumpkin's brains out. Kidding, a pumpkin doesn't have brains, silly!


Step 3:
Cut out the eyes, nose and mouth. Lean back, admire your handywork.


And what do you do if you fucked up your jack-o-lantern?
You use a pumpkin patch! {drum, drum, cymbal}

This is the poh-lice callin'

Being the desensitised Safricaner, being robbed didn't really freak me out. I didn't call the cops to lift fingerprints, I didn't file a police report, I didn't go to bed with a baseball bat.

Yesterday, to my surprise, I get a call from Detective James Nash, Denver poh-lice (sounds like a TV-cop's name). He let me know that they have a lot of recovered goods, and wanted to know if any of it belonged to me. How's that? They actually investigated the petty break-ins, arrested the dude and recovered some stuff. But no luck, no Minolta digital. But Mr Dee-tective assures me that they are STILL investigating, and that more items may be recovered. He then made me file a police report online - according to him, it's my "duty towards the community to so".

Man, if only SA's pigs were this efficient.

The most Amazon website ever!

So online shopping here is huge. I buy everything online. Bought my first stuff from Amazon.com, CDs and DVDs. Finally got my very own "Up in Smoke" DVD. And its much better than yours Mr J-Poo. Extra scenes. So weh!


Also got BEP's Monkey Biz and Ciara's Goodies, for about $6 each. The DVD was just under 10 bucks. Sweet!

The office

One day. Four different clients. A thousand Post-Its.


Frikken over this! Been working 10-12 hours a day. G Man, so this is your life?

Heroes in a half shell

This is conclusive that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are alive and kicking, right here in downtown Denver. They've laid low since I last saw them in Standard 4, out of a job after that dirty rat Splinter nicked their hard earned pizza and ran away with the belter April O'Neal.

And not only are they making a good living running Denver's underground dealings, but they're shhmokin' up some serious shhtogies down thurr.



Strange, ne?

Round one. FIGHT!

After busting Wezzo using some swift camera work (and my inherant Asian ability to bootleg shit off the big screen), I thought it would be fun to capture some more clips off the telly. Actually I had nothing to do in crappy Omaha. Stumbled across this rap battle on BET, just like the one in 8 Mile.

Dee Dizza vs Big Dilla.



Big Dilla wins. FATALITY!

Oma-Zzzz

After two weeks of hard grind in Omaha, I finally had a day to check the town. What a kak city, really fucking boring, kinda like Welkom would be if it wasn't for the traffic circles.

So the locals pointed the zoo out, apparently the best thing in Omaha since the death penalty. And good thing I chose today to spend outdoors, it was only 50F (10 Celcius) and raining.

Henry Doorly Zoo and it's desert dome.


Creepy crawlies.


The best part of the zoo - they must have about twenty gorillaz with about 4 silverbacks. Check this big papi, and the wittle one. Awww....


Big white bear and sleepy striped cat.


Reminders of home. I miss looking into the back yard and seeing the elephants moving through the bush towards the river, lions feasting on the nightly buffalo kill and Moses making his way towards the longdrop every morning.


Hell, now this ain't something you see too often. Giraffe... and jackass penguins. And an swimming emperor.


Funny squishies and a crazy shrimp.


Apparently the biggest recreation of a tropical rain forest.
