The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

diva — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:46:38 +0000

I was under the impression that the movie, the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, was still due to open up here in SA… imagine my horror to learn that it had come and gone in February already… and I had completely missed it. So I got hold of a copy and watched it last night. As you may, or may not know, this was the movie that Heath Ledger was working on when he died. At the time of his death I was not his biggest fan, but I did like him and I had seen a Knight’s Tale about 5 times (I have the DVD), and I was very saddened by his death. I watched the Dark Knight and was blown away by the change in him as an actor – he seemed to become the Joker so completely that one could not recognise the bad boy from 10 Things I Hate About You. He had finally come into his own as a serious actor and it saddened me that after The Imaginarium, I would never see him in a new movie again.So back to The Imaginarium… if you are planning on watching this movie – be aware:HERE BE SPOILERSIn London, the sideshow of Dr Parnassus promises to take you on a magical journey in the good Doctor’s ‘Imaginarium’. They are a struggling group made up of Dr Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), who claims to be over 1000 years old, his beautiful daughter Valentina (Lily Cole) who is about to hit 16, Percy the midget (Verne Troyer) and Anton (Andrew Garfield), whom they apparently found on the streets. Valentina, Anton and Percy rescue a hanged man (Heath Ledger) who wakes up and claims to have lost his memory. They take him into their troupe and soon the stranger and Valentina seem to fall in love. The Doctor discovers that the stranger is called Tony and is very rich and worked for a Charity, but Tony chooses to stay with them instead of going back to his real life.We then discover that the Doctor is as old as he claims to be, but that he has made wagers with the Devil (Tom Waits) – one of these will see his daughter, Valentina, become the property of the Devil when she hits 16. Parnassus wants to save his daughter and happily agrees when the Devil offers him another wager – the first to gain 5 souls in the Imaginarium, wins Valentina. Tony, who is unaware of this deal, sees only an opportunity to make money and with his slick tongue he helps the Doctor gain 4 souls in quick succession, but inside the magical world of the Imaginarium we discover that the suave Tony is not what he claims to be…To say that Heath Ledger was brilliant is an understatement. We meet him as this slick-tongued, elegant man who says all the right things and we, as the audience, are as seduced by him as the hapless Valentina. Even when Anton reveals the ugly truth about Tony, we find ourselves wanting to like Tony, despite the horrible things he has done. And this is where director, Terry Gilliam, is truly wonderful: If you re-watch the movie, now knowing that Tony is a horrible person, you realise that all along the character is played with great duplicity – when the Doctor uses a (fake) mind-reading device on him to discover his true identity, he seemed anxious, but now you realise that he is really scared about what else the doctor might discover… When you think that Tony is a good guy, you see it one way, when you think that Tony is evil, you see it another way… it really is done with such beautiful subtlety that is boggles the mind.After his death, Ledger was replaced by Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell – the 3 actors combined play Tony in the Imaginarium and they are more obviously conniving Lothario’s, than Tony outside the Imaginarium… The movie might not have been planned this way, but in a way it makes sense that Tony Inside the Imaginarium is different in more than looks from the Tony Outside the Imaginarium.To finish: I found the movie sad, moving and a wonderful feast for the eyes! I wish I had seen it on the big screen in order to appreciate it properly, but for now – I am going to hunt for my own personal copy.I give it 8 out of 10!

The Price of trust and forgiveness*.

Letting your brother remove your stitches.

* I happen to be best friends with my brothers ex girlfriend. The ex girlfriend who he is absolutely not over. Who has moved on with her life, and in with a rather nice guy. My brother knows i see her and we're friends. He doesn't know HOW much i see her tho. We've spoken about it... and he said he's 'okay' with it. But as we all know... he's not. This weekend i spent most of it with her and her boyfriend, when my brother asked where i was, and who i was with... instead of going with a liiiiitle white lie - i told the truth.

*sigh*

Which wasn't the best course of action. I felt bad, torn and like an awful sister.

I had to whip out the big guns.

On saturday night i went to a birthday party.. in town.. IN TOWN you wonder.. yes - on the roof of the old First Nation Bank building on Simmons street!! How fucking fantastic i tell you!! SUCH a gorgeous building... the party was pretty good too... ;) So good, i ended up getting to bed around 3am in fact!

On friday... Causal day.. i had my sticker on.. Because well.. there was one on my desk when i got to it... While wearing my Jesus shirt... With a black bra...

Ahhhh.... on friday afternoon my mother and i went off for tea and cake, to decompress from the hectic week, and while sitting there enjoying my coffee - i had a call from one of the boys at the office. "JHBPee, You have a flower delivery at the office"... *sigh* so nice.

On friday night i went off to Soweto to the wine tasting... So much fun! Would you believe that this was my FIRST trip into Soweto? EVER? What does a white girl have to do to get a black friend who lives there...!?!? [The wine tasting was really great... enjoyed.. much fun]

On Sunday, myself, my mother and my brothers ex girlfriend(don't tell him) went off to a market (or rather what we THOUGHT would be a market) turned out the market was 3 stalls.. no fun at all. But the lunch was lovely....

On sunday evening after a early dinner with the girls, i stood in the kitchen and took this photo... this happens to be one of my favourite tshirts at the moment... Can you believe?!

Oh look... this is the market! My Camera was set to make it look like it fell out of the 70's.. Which, funny enough.... was pretty much how it was!

A-Team Movie Review

diva — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:24:46 +0000

I don’t remember much about TV back when I was muuuuch younger (back in the 80’s *sings* the 80’s!) but one thing I do remember is that we watched a hell of a lot more of it. There was MacGuyver (a mullet never looked so good!), Airwolf (my sister thought that Stringfellow Hawk was HOTT), Knight Rider (a talking car! ZOMG!) and, of course my favourite, the A-Team.[caption id="attachment_178" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The (New) A-Team"][/caption]Now understand that I was still in primary school (I think) and the show never really made any sense to me, but I know that they always made a plan, BA was big, black, scary as hell and one of my favourites and I knew that Murdoch was ‘Howling Mad’, but he seemed perfectly right in the head to me. But I loved them! They were corny, nobody died (despite all the big explosions) and the theme song and opening sequence was epic. And they always drove off into the sunset while Hannibal chomped on a cigar. That was the A-Team and they were terrific.So when I heard a move was coming out, I was somewhat eagerhensive (eager and apprehensive) – would they get it right?! Would it have aged as well as good cheese should and will I love the characters as much as I did way back when.Before the movie opened up in SA I nervously scoured the boards on IMDB to get people’s opinions. Some hated it, some loved it. It came to SA months after it opened up overseas and of course people I knew got hold of illegal copies and watched it and told me ‘It was awesome! Want a copy?’ and I said no. One lady told me that she thought it was crap and she was glad she didn’t spend money on it. I asked her ‘why?’ and she said ‘I was expecting more! It was the same old story with lots of explosions and stupid action – it was so cheesy!’… Duuuuh! ‘What did you expect?! It’s the A-Team!!’I couldn’t believe there are people out there who expected the A-Team to become smart and clever and realistic.Anyway – I went to see it the weekend past and I loved it! It was as cheesy, over-the-top and clichéd as the A-Team was back in the day. Yes, so BA was not wearing a ton of gold and Faceman was not afraid of being slapped around a bit (and he was shirtless a hell of a lot more), but that didn’t matter because the new actors had to try to make the characters their own.Murdoch was wonderfully certifiable and Hannibal was still the man with the plan. I loved its corniness and silliness, but honestly, I don’t think it would have been half as much fun without Sharlto Copley’s wonderfully improvised scenes. He had this wonderful interaction with BA and the theatre erupted into fits of laughter every time he was on screen.Hopefully they will do another one… and give Murdoch more screen time!I give The A-Team a 7/10.

I for one, am quite ecstatic to see teh ass end of THIS week....

jhbprincess — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:03:50 +0000

What a week.... Far to much fucking drama. PMS, a cut finger, 5 stitches, annoying staff..blah blah blah

I really am looking forward to this weekend... the Soweto Wine thingie, a birthday party tomorrow night... A brunch date.... The Market with Mum... Dinner with the girls.

Friday Hottie - Stephen 'tWitch' Boss

diva — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:08:41 +0000

Most of you have probably never heard of him, but Stephen Boss, nickname 'tWitch' is this week's Friday Hottie.[caption id="attachment_167" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="6-Pack... and tWtich"][/caption]tWitch is a free style dancer with a chiselled 6-pack and a cheeky grin. He first came to my attention during Season 3 of the American version of 'So you think you can dance' where he was beaten out of the live shows by Hok Konishi, but he came back in Season 4 and made it all the way to the finals, where he lost to Joshua. During Season 4 he performed an Emmy nominated dance 'Mercy' with his partner Katee Shean - the beauty of Mia Michael's choreography and the perfection with which they performed it had me in tears!Before 'SYTYCD' tWitch first appeared on television when he placed second on Star Search behind America's Best Dance Crew group Super Crew's "Do Knock". He was a contestant on The Wade Robson Project, where he came in third place. He also choreographed dances for Korean[caption id="attachment_168" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Super tWitch"][/caption]artists, such as Se7en. He also previously appeared as a dancer in Hairspray where ge can be seen in the dance number at the platter party and in "You Can't Stop the Beat".He is a huge fan of comic books and his favorite character is Superman and I think it is in honor of Superman that tWitch occasionally wears plastic spectacle frames, minus the glass.I picked him for Friday hottie after my friends went to see Step Up 3D, in which he stars. He also has a part in the upcoming Stomp the Yard2: Homecoming and Perfectus, a superhero movie in which he plays Marcel X.

Sunday Breakfast Diaries...

jhbprincess — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:30:40 +0000

Dear god, it's almost time for This weekends breakfast date... And i haven't even blogged my last one.

*sigh*

There are of course a few reasons for this. Mainly of course...

Thumbelina.

As sore as all fuck. I have never before in my life had stitches before.

(I might have mentioned this before in a previous blog - but i forget, it's the pain. Do forgive me.)

I have to two things to mention before i get to the breakfast.. One is - you'll never realise HOW very important your thumbs are, until you can't use one! Opening stuff, moving stuff, squeezing stuff.. all rather impossible.

Thank god it wasn't my preferred masturbating hand is all i can say!

Secondly... Because the world loves me.. i happened to have A grade PMS earlier this week... in fact, up until yesterday afternoon. Thank all things good - it's now over.

Right, on to the breakfast...

At Doppio's... with one of my dearest dearest friends who lives in the UK. Her and her boyfriend are out here visiting the family and me of course. We had such a gorgeous breakfast out in the sun.

Wait. I actually think we ended up ordering lunch, as we sat chatting for ages...

Lets see if i can remember what we were talking about.

My life when i lived in London
Things we did in London
The fact that, if i hadn't gone to London - her and i would NEVER be friends. (Not because of the logistical reason.. simple because we're so different.. she is all tattoo'd up, with a lipring and listens to strange music... and well.. i have no tattoos and only holes in my ears and adore Michael Buble.)
Her Gorgeous boyfriend, his fabulous jokes, and the fact he is such a nice guy. (He was at the table at this point)
My need to date Gorgeous men who tell fabulous jokes and are nice guys.
The current relationship situations i put myself in.
Telling my father about my trip
Telling her mother how annoyed she makes her.
We both decided regarding parents... we are... at times pussies.

And on and on it went...

And now i find myself faced with this sunday - and no one to have breakfast with!?

What did she do...?!

jhbprincess — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:42:00 +0000

Yesterday afternoon... minding my own business... making dinner - as I do when the mood takes me.

Slicing a very very EVIL onion.

I ended up slicing my finger.

Surprisingly - it wasn't that sore.. in fact, as it happened, i thought to myself... bugger, i better go get a plaster.

But, as I'd sliced from the ONE side of my thumb to the OTHER... it required stitches.

FIVE stitches.. I'll have you know.

And now my finger has it's own little condom.

Needless to say.. on the MOST stressful day of the god damn month... this has left me rather annoyed and quite miserable.

FML...

Learning Lessons...

jhbprincess — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:54:21 +0000

As everyone who (pays some attention) reads this blog knows... I'm big into learning lessons. The every day lessons you're left with once decisions are made, tears are shed, the laughter has left and situations are no longer exciting.

The University of life so to speak. I'd like to think i've learn a few lessons so far...

From... don't touch that - that's HOT and it will BURN (pretty easy one to learn)... to don't EAT that, it's not worth the strain on your jeans (Still learning that one). Also things like, seating plans at dinner parties are essential, Rehidrat can make all the difference, standing up straight, shoulders back, boobs out, chin up in photos makes all the difference.

With the ending of my last 'relationship' - I find myself wondering if this is in fact a lesson I'm meant to be learning?! Something the world is attempting to teach me. A lesson which relates to that habit i 'may' have of putting myself in impossible relationship situations.

Impossible how you may wonder....?!? Well, lets just say.... I tend to put myself in positions with say... married men... men who happen to be rather older than i am... men who are not looking for relationships... and well, men i would not take home to my parents.

They all are... in their own way quite fabulous men. And there are one or two of them who i do love. A lot. But that's it. I love them, as my impossible relationships. I wouldn't want them any other way.

I have this divine ability to separate my heart from my head, and the head leads. So, i can say with out doubt - that i love. With all my heart. In fact, every man i ever loved.. owns a part of my heart. My memories... and has in some way has defined who i am today.

And of course, I do this with these men... because these men are safe. They would never put any pressure on me, there are no demands. It is simply what it is. And i suppose much of it happens on my terms, my comfort zones...

*Enter lesson 2927/2010 stage left*

JHBP Needs to stop putting herself in impossible relationship situations.

Which is of course... not really easy for me. I crave the excitement, the challenge... the chase. Not to mention interesting, confident, challenging men.

So, right now... I have one times lesson and no times concept of how to go about dealing with this lesson.

*sigh*

Friday Hottie - Bradley Cooper

diva — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:01:51 +0000

Because I am planning to go see The A-Team this weekend (SHARLTO COPLEY FTW) and because he is the face of... err FACE Today's Friday Hottie is: Bradley Cooper[caption id="attachment_163" align="aligncenter" width="225" caption="Bradley Cooper"][/caption]Born in Philly in 1975 to an Italian-American mother and an Irish-American father, Bradley grew up in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. He was, as per his parents I suppose, raised Roman Catholic and after graduating from Germantown Academy in 1993 he attened first Villanova University, before transferring to Georgetown. In 1997 he graduated with a BA Degree in English, after which he lived in France for 6 months. Later still he studied at the Actors Studio Drama School.His acting career started with Sex and the City in 1998, but you might remember him better as Will Tippin from the Alias franchise. Probably though, you would have noticed him in the 2009 movie The Hangover.Why not support Bradley, and local boy Sharlto, by going to see the A-Team!

This afternoon...

jhbprincess — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 09:47:18 +0000

I have a facial, wax and pedicure booked.

I'm not feeling either of those three.

Altho, i have to go... my toes look quite similar to a Benoni hooker on half price tuesdays. And if you happen to know my toes.. this is QUITE out of the norm. Poor toes. They do need a little love.

The wax. Meh... I'm not getting laid ATM.

Does the vag deserve the pain if there is no pleasure lined up?!

Mum puts the M in Martyr

jhbprincess — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:47:13 +0000

This morning. The mother and I had a little 'issue'. Neither here nor there as far as I'm concerned.

Tonight she was meant to go out with druggie m**. I'm cooking dinner for the family...and obviously she wouldn't be joining us.

Now of course dm has cancelled.

I get: "I'll be there for dinner... But don't worry. I'll have toast."

*Sigh*

**let's not get excited. Its just the usual desperate housewife drugs.

Gratitude*

jhbprincess — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:07:51 +0000

The day after Womans Day... @picknpay Tweeted something like "Tell us what you did with your mothers day and you can win a PnP Voucher."

I had spent the day with my mum - a little shopping.. a little lunch..Afternoon tea... And funny enough - we'd been to PnP in the afternoon to get a few things... Naturally i replied to @picknpay with this.

And would you believe.. i won!

Now.. not quite being a 'home maker'... or into sharing, i remembered that PnP has a delightful little clothing section - where're sure to ALWAYS find a gem.

Being Bargain Betty, this turned me on no end... and off i went..

I bought a little black dress.. I'm not sure it would do for a formal formal evening out - but easy enough to dress up and dress down. Perfect for my little European adventure.

A Grey cardie.. quite gorgeous.. perfect for spring, nice and light - in fact I'm wearing it right now!

A white peasant like top... I think this might be quite lovely with black bra, black heels and jeans...

I also took a grey(ish) tshirt with squinces on - which ended up looking rather insipid on... she must go back! Oh yes.. i was left with about R100 change i think....

So - Thank you very much PnP - i had much fun with my voucher...!!

* After yesterday's rather emo post... i thought it best to do something which excites me and which I'm thankful for. Maybe i should do this more often, to remind myself. (The thanking... Okay - the winning would be nice too.)

sigh

jhbprincess — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:11:47 +0000

So, i have moments.. days.. where i feel the sky happens to be falling in. Where things are SO bad.. life is SO impossible.. i'm SO awful... I've done nothing with my life.. I'm never going to do anything... . Blah. Blah. Blah. I look forward to the future.... and i see this lonely miserable older person. All alone. Full of regret.

More often than not.. these moods last a few hours, a DAY at the most. And then we're fine.. All is good. We realise that we're prone to exaggeration.. that I'm 26... that i've done, and i continue to do fabulous things... My life is pretty good and exciting on most days.

Except.... right now - we're moving into day TWO.

I've had this miserable, the world is falling on my head - my life is sad... I'm all alone and no one loves me feeling - since sunday night(!!).

This morning i forced myself out of bed... to gym. As this tends to help.

I of course get to the gym, swipe my tag and walk in. But that's as far as i got.. i looked around at all the happy, smiling people and had one of those... 'fuck this' moments.

I went for coffee.

A little chat with myself. A little pep talk... or maybe more of a pull your shit towards your shit kinda talk.

And it came to me... like a bolt of lightening in the dead of the night....I know what the issues are, if I'm dead honest... i really do.

I'm a procrastinator. I really am. I am a 'l lets deal with it at the last minute' kinda girl. I don't 'feel' like it right now kinda girl. With an attention span of a guppy fish. This coupled with the fact that... i just don't 'do' commitment - leaves me well. Floating from one thing to another. Never REALLY committing myself to much. [*sight*]

Enter Chicken Little complex.

Quite simply.. i need a Todo list*. Write what needs to be done down... put it all into perspective - and do what i can. Make an effort to deal with the NB things... and learn to plan. I need to remember the lists i made.. .

This advice i gave myself... all for the nice price of R19.45.

*sigh*.

Today - I exhaust me.

*Why is it that ... i know that TODO lists work for me... and when i do them i feel on top of everything... but then i stop. And well then.. I'm not. WTF.

คาสิโน (Casino) คือสถานบันเทิงที่มีกิจกรรมการพนันเป็นกิจกรรมหลัก ปัจจุบันมีคาสิโน (Casino)มากกว่า 4,750 แห่งทั่วโลก โดยปกติแล้วคาสิโน (Casino)มักจะสร้างร่วมกับโรงแรม, ร้านอาหาร, แหล่งชอปปิง และบางครั้งคาสิโน (Casino)จะสร้างอยู่บนเรือนำเที่ยว คาสิโน (Casino)จะถูกสร้างรวมๆ กันเป็นเมืองคาสิโน (Casino)

ปัจจุบันนี้ คนไปเที่ยวลาสเวกัสไม่ได้เป็นเพราะต้องการที่จะไปคาสิโน (Casino) และไปดื่มกินให้สนุกเป็นหลักอีกต่อไป แต่ไปเพื่อได้เห็นลักษณะอันพิเศษของเมืองนี้

เมืองคาสิโน (Casino)ที่มีชื่อเสียงที่สุดในโลกก็คือ ลาสเวกัส (Las Vegas) ตั้งอยู่ในมลรัฐเนวาดา สหรัฐอเมริกา เป็นสถาณที่ที่ชาวอเมริกันและคนทั่วโลก ให้ฉายาว่า “เมืองแห่งบาป” (Sin City) และ นักเขียนบางคนให้ชื่อว่าเป็น “America’s Playground” หรือสนามเด็กเล่นของสหรัฐอเมริกา ลาสเวกัสเป็นสถาณที่ที่มีลักษณะพิเศษ เพราะเมืองทั้งเมืองเจริญเติบโตขึ้นมาจากความก้าวหน้าของกิจการคาสิโน (Casino) เป็นแรงดึงดูดหลักให้นักท่องเที่ยวหลั่งไหลเข้ามา ต่อมาก็ได้พัฒนาไปสู่ธุรกิจบริการใกล้เคียง ได้แก่ โรงแรม ศูนย์แสดงสินค้า ศูนย์ประชุม ร้านอาหาร ห้างสรรพสินค้า ล้วนแล้วแต่มีความโอ่อ่าอลังการ และขนาดใหญ่มากกว่าที่อื่นในโลก จะหาได้ค่อนข้างยากที่จะมีคาสิโน (Casino) และโรงแรมมารวมตัวกันอย่างแน่นหนาในบริเวณใกล้เคียงกันเหมือนกับเมืองลาสเวกัส แห่งนี้

ในแถบเอเชียก็มี Gclub Casino Online ที่เป็นผู้ให้บริการ คาสิโน เช่นกัน

Sunday Breakfast Diaries...

jhbprincess — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:31:15 +0000

Nino's... was this weeks venue of choice... with M &V two of the nicest boys i know.

I do love this venue sitting under the trees.. the sun... people.. often people bring their dogs.. So, lovely. Of course there is my fear of bird crap in my coffee... but oh well.. just a little bit of JHB nature.

This week we discussed things such as

Places in JHB we've had sex, got lucky, felt up or had a pretty good kisses.
I could have won.
It might have been with the sex in the park.
Felt up at Monte, Emperors, a few restaurants.
We discussed which sex gets more sex. [undecided]
Kissing after oral sex.. and how one of us received a black eye due to this. [Not Me]
According to V... (who is in a relationship) being in a relationship this doesn't guarentee sex. [M and I were confused.]

They did manage to rag me slightly as i didn't want to take my sun glasses off due to my slight hang over from the dinner party the night before.

Today feels like a Seattle* kinda day.

jhbprincess — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:30:33 +0000

I walk into the office today, faced with miserable faces. I'm over it.

I sit at my desk only to hear admin girl one snapping at admin girl two who was trying to tell her something.. "I'm busy." She snaps for the second time.. If i had the energy I would have snapped "I'm busy, is only a acceptable response if you're paying the salaries around here!!". I'm over it.

I watched as admin girl searched around for something that seems to be 'lost' from a customer. Needless to say, Admin girl one and techie boy one happened to be no help at all. When of course, between the three of them - they fucking lost it. Over it.

I have a staff meeting with my children at 1pm.

I might bring that forward to 12pm....

And simply send everyone home after.

For my sanity.

*The coffee shop, not the city.

Today i'd like to draw your attention to..

jhbprincess — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 11:34:58 +0000

So... now is the time to start the preplanning i guess.. figure out which visa i need.. where to apply for it... Get my international drivers license. Book hotels where we know for sure we'll be.

The admin part of the trip.

So far... the plan is... Land in Amsterdam.. spend the night and following day there... explore.. and be a real tourist. Head to Belgium friday evening, relax and hang out there... Head for for a couple of days to Lake Lugano... head back to Belgium.. via Venice Milan... a night or two there... Off to Hamburg the following monday... spend the night there.. back tuesday.... and back to SA that thursday.

I lie... the only part of the plan which is set in stone... is the night in Amsterdam, the over night in Hamburg and the fact that Belgium is the base...

Otherwise I'm open to your suggestions...

For a woman named Mildrid*.

She is an awfully unattractive woman.... who has this awful bottle blonde hair, with a particularly interesting grass like texture. I guess it's hot to some.

She talks during really hectic movies... AND sport. ALWAYS during sport.

She's old. MUCH older than I. Her real age can't quite be defined due to the mass of crows feet.

She is a secret smoker... one of those people who always claim to 'never ever smoke'... but the smell and yellow teeth seem to follow her.

Mildrid can suck a rugby ball thru a garden hose. With the result, your cock ends up looking rather ANGRY and RED after 3 minutes with Aunty Milly.

Naturally Mildrid feels sex is for procreation, not pleasure.

Mildrid hates Ellen, Friends and can't stand Will & Grace. Mildrid prefers hours and hours of Animal Planet.

She feels a woman should do all the cooking, cleaning...and spend as much time as possible in the kitchen.

Bless Milly...i guess she's the one!

*Mildrid is of course not a real person, but rather a fictional character i have created in my mind... as we all know, anger is a FAR better emotion to deal with than sad understanding acceptance.

Today...

Last night i had a particularly strange dream.

I dreamt i was getting married... i had a big poofy white dress on.. there was a huge Cake Boss styled Cake... flowers...MANY people.... everything was white.

And i was surprisingly excited.

Until I saw who i was marrying.

Dildoboy... Of course, most of you who read this blog have no idea who this is... and i apologise for that... but lets just say... he's one of the boys in my extended supperclub social circle.

And at that moment... when seeing Dildoboy... i was no longer excited.

It was a very clear moment in my dream...a very real intense feeling... it was the same feeling i had, when i made the choice not to be confirmed.. that feeling of knowing deep down inside what i was doing was not right. Not what i wanted.

Confirmation classes where lots of fun, all the pretty white dresses we had to have... and the parties. But the day of my confirmation.. i couldn't do it... i remember, that morning - standing with my parents and telling them i couldn't do it. That i felt the classes hadn't taught me enough... that i wasn't willing to stand in front of everyone and answer the questions. I felt like i would simply be doing it because i wanted the dress and the party. And i'd rather be honest about it.

Once upon a time i went with someone to a spiritualist church... and the 'guide' came up to me... and said a whole bunch of stuff i forget, but the one thing i always remember had to do with my need/desire to swim up stream.

And this is a constant internal battle i face with myself. Doing what makes me happy and what i believe in vs. what the world believes is right.

I often wondered what i'd be like today, had my parents forced me to be confirmed. Pulled the "We've paid for the dress/the party - you will do it" line on me... What kind of person would i be today... How different would i be?!

So, i have no idea what dreams mean.... or what this dream means... whether i believe in them or not...

But as always... Sharing is caring...

;)

The Demise of 5

[caption id="attachment_159" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="The old 5fm logo"][/caption]5fm Power Nite of Rock – between 22:00 and 23:55 on a Thursday. I was listening to 5fm while driving a couple of days ago. They played a song by MIA called ‘XXXO’ or something. It was a Saturday afternoon and the ever-chirpy DJ lady was very excited to tell us that the song was by “Miya”. No DJ Lady. It was by MIA. This is a very different person from Miya. You are paid to be a DJ – you should know this.When a DJ does not know the difference between MIA and Miya, I cringe – they are supposed to live and breathe music – not make stupid mistakes like that. When a DJ repeats 10 songs during a 3 hour long show, that was also played by the DJ before them and will be repeated by the DJ after them, I despair. When you know that at least 1 out of those 10 or so DJ’s hired by a station are as sick of the regurgitated shite that they are expected to play every single day, then you feel sorry for them…and turn off the radio.If I have to hear ‘I made it!’ one more time I am going to hurl. This crap honestly plays every time I dare to turn on the radio (usually during the morning drive to work). Gareth Cliff has started talking over the end of the song because he hates it almost as much as I do – you can tell just by listening to him. Don’t get me started on Ke$ha telling us about her drug of choice (your love), or what-sis-face telling us that he wants you to ‘Put it in reverse cow girl’ (what a Gawd-awful song) or Justin Bieber singing about his ‘Shorty’ and his ‘Baby’ – considering that he is still a kid himself I guess there are few other names that he could call his girl.I remember when 5fm was a Rock station. I grew up on a diet of Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi, ACDC, Live and what was considered ‘white’ music by my friends (being coloured meant I had to listen to R&B and Hip Hop *puke*). I remember when a Hip Hop song would be played once in a blue moon and it would usually be something good by Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg or Tupac and you didn’t mind because it would be followed by Skunk Anansi, Cranberries or a bit of Alanis. Now they actually have a Rock Show. Seriously? You cannot play more rock during the other 7 shows during the day..? Why Not..? What is wrong with playing a bit more Temper Trap, 30 Seconds to Mars or, OMG, CIVIL TWILIGHT? How about playing something NOT produced in the past 30 days by a Sweat-Shop Pop Shop who’s song writing formula’s are more tired than Beyonce’s bouncing ass. How about playing something not featuring the rapper of the moment telling us about how awesome his life is, how big his ice is and what name brand bag is girlfriend carries?How about playing music for the people who supported you for so many decades? How about fuck appealing to a larger demographic? How about music with soul? How about music that makes me feel something other than the need to projectile vomit out the window of my car? How about going back to what made me, and many others, loyal listeners?
