The Middle of Cape Town

I’m back.

The Fight Club Zen apartment needed some supplies. All I had was two bottles of dodgy water and some protein shake.

I’ve just returned from The Middle of Cape Town with some snacks. This is just the coolest place to hang around, watch people and take in the vide of “The Real Cape Town”.

You know that scene from Killing Zoe.. “Zoe: I’ll show you a real Paris”.. well I’ve been thinking somebody needs to make a list of The Real Cape Town places to visit. Second on my list is The Labia.

Visit The Middle of Cape Town on a Saturday between 0:00 and 4:00. Very entertaining place. On some nights it really is the middle of the city.

I like Roger Avary’s work.

The weekend in the Cederberg was fun. The Walking Simpsons Encyclopedia (WSE), The Big Man with the Beard and I traveled in the WSE’s new car. We were driven by Miss Daisy.. WSE is still very protective of his new ride.

We did what people do on farms in the middle of nowhere. Eat well, read (magazines), made a nice fire, a few afternoon naps, enjoyed some good red wine and listened to Edith Piaf. This sounds like a girl’s holiday? wtf.

Don’t worry, there was also red meat, beer, a massive piece of tree trunk in the fire, humor of questionable taste and RATM (I’m not sure why?, this really does not mix well after the soundtrack from Shine)

Thanks Craig, for making GQ the only magazine I care to regularly read. I also took the latest edition of One Small Seed along.

While reading the GQ, The Big Man pointed out that some of his illustration work is in the latest copy. There is an article in the Small Seed featuring another member of the Am I Collective team.

They are doing very cool things. Keep an eye out for their work. The Big Man should be at the next GeekDinner.

I forgot my camera at home, so I really had a technology-free weekend.

The finalists in the SA blog awards will be revealed on Monday. I’m interested to see if the 3 blogs I nominated make it.

Tomorrow morning I’m going for a tour of what is rumored to be the most advanced datacentre in Cape Town.

Time for my beauty sleep.

Venue, check.

Lush, I’m thinking of being nice and using rice-paper. Maybe.

Thoughs for the day..

Those who like Stern tend to listen to the show for one and a half hours, those who dislike him listen for two and a half hours, and both cite a desire “to see what he is going to say next.”

‘Anyway, it’s hot here.
It’s hot, that’s all I’ve got to say.
Floor is hot.
The sugarcanes(?)… hot.
There are bugs.
And muggers.
And… fourteen year old kids on bikes with guns.
Come on over sometime!’

Don’t drink Woolworths water

Today I happily started adding some Woolworths still spring water to my Barocca vitamin drink and to my disgust this streaky dark colour stuff starts appearing. It turns out the dark streaky stuff was a reaction to the vitamin pill and was an added bonus inside the bottle which you would expect to contain clean water.

I have two sealed bottles containing this stuff, whatever it is?. The really disturbing part is that I drank 4 bottles out of the pack of 6 already. Ugghhhh.. I’m pissed off.

Surely they must at the very least filter water like this? wtf? How do Woolworths allow this bad quality water on their shelves?

The best-before date seems to be”BB 25/01/08″, Batch: 07025 07:57″.
