Plans for the Weekend

-
Damn, I’m stiff today after Wednesday evening… I wonder why there is a 24 hour delay between exercise and irritating, burning pain in shoulders, biceps and thighs?

Anyway, the weekend is pretty wide open apart from our plan on Saturday to join Ashley, and Ian, for round 2 of Paul and my couples photo shoot. By the sounds of it we’ll be taking the pics up in the Hillcrest area, going for whole rustic railway effect. I’m really looking forward to it. I’m sure Paul will enjoy himself as well- he loves anything train related.

Otherwise, we’re seriously considering going to see The Narrow, probably South Africa’s top alternative band at Burn on Saturday evening- I suppose I better listen to their album/s one time properly before we go!



This weekend I’d also like a bit of retail therapy in the form of picking up the Fatboy Slim Greatest Hits CD, and buying myself some proper athletics shoes. I realised recently I don’t have anything I’d be happy being seen in, or happy scuffing while doing sporty things.

Paul and I also really need to go soon to the casino to spend/launder the latest batch of vouchers. And I would really like to squeeze in the sketching of the new Girlz ‘N’ Games. The upcoming one involves Titan Quest…

Hey Noelle,

(I’ll add your blog to my list as well; I really need a dedicated blog browser)

I'm hoping for a nice relaxed, lazy weekend, if only it wasn't so cold and wet*in Slaap Town, I'd actually consider taking a stroll through Newlands Forest.

*Lol! Even our wooden doors have started to swell. That only means, I'll have my work cut out for me, come Spring.

Thanks for popping in, Xavier. I've been enjoying yoru new blog.

My weekend did end up being quite lazy, or at least I got to spend a lot of time out in the sun during the day, and catching up on my sleep deficit in the evenings.

It's my pleasure and thanks. I'm trying to post at least twice a week (just to get back into the blogging frame of mind), so I hope you don't mind reading about tuna lasagne and wet weather :)

That's fine by me... it gives me something to read when I'm on a break from work.

BTW, what is the new address for The Pond? The link on the side of my blog is out of date...

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov

Weekend report-back: beach, board games and books

So I'm back in the office after a 4 day weekend. And I'm trying not to remind myself that it's almost 3 months until the next public holiday. Bah! Anyway, pop culture didn't play too massive a part in my mini-break. There was braai -ing (expected on National Braai Day), the baking of pretzels in celebration of Oktoberfest ( even if we weren't in Munich this year ), working on the next Girlz 'N' Games comic , and a family lunch to celebrate my mother and cousin's birthdays. A hefty chunk of the weekend however was spent at one of my favourite holiday destinations: the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. We were celebrating a friend's birthday at his family's holiday flat in Southbroom. So there was much chilling and eating and games playing, as well as kite flying, dolphin spotting and swallowing of saltwater as I flailed around in the choppy, chilly surf. We even managed to find Emo Shell! Anyway, film viewing was neglected this weekend, with the excepti

Movies today, SA!

Despite the fact that 5 new films open in South Africa today, not a single one is worthy of an extended Pick of the Week description. If you haven't seen it yet (like me), go and watch Disney-Pixar's Up instead. If you can't get past a deeply ingrained "grown-up" prejudice against animated films, what about seeking out the Johnny Depp-Christian Bale gangster movie Public Enemies ? Hell, you could even go and watch District 9 again. Just stay away from the mediocrity released this weekend. Yeesh. I Hate Valentine's Day - Nia Vardalos reteams with her My Big Fat Greek Wedding love interest John Corbett for this romantic comedy in which a carefree florist lives by a "5 dates only" rule so a relationship never develops and she never gets hurt. A charming restaurateur, however, forces her to re-evaluate her unusual approach to dating. 17% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes . Karate Kallie - A South African comedy about Kallie, a fat teenager, who is mercilessly
