baldyza: informer, what a great song.

baldyza: I always sit at the back of a plane, cos its meant to be safer. Maybe not it seems.

How's this for some spontaneity.

Yesterday, at around 2:00pm central atlantic time, a group of us have decided to go on a girl's trip.

Bearing in mind, i'm going to Stockholm this weekend with my boy, I have a few South African mates out at the moment, so we're going to Guernsey.

Channel island, wedged next to France. It's so random. Girls weekend! Let's go to Ibiza! No lets go to Guernsey! Wtf, so darby, we are in hysterics.

One mate doesn't have a Schengen, usual story, so we have to stick to the British Isles. Guernsey seemed nice.

We're flying. That's the most hysterical part of the whole deal - I mean, we will be in the sky for all of 15 minutes by the looks of things. Take off, then land in Guernsey.

Orioginally we were thinking Mallorca, or Menorca or something Spanish and sizzling.

Now, we're going to sizzle in Guernsey. And weirdly enough I've been to Jersey before too.

Bring on the wine, quaint little quasi Franco-Anglo cottages and sea decks, I'm about to fly to Guernsey.

Then it's Sweden. Too much excitement for these little trips away.

baldyza: starting a cube feud with my neighbour, he was hanging his jacket on the communal corner of our cubes. I got in early this morning.

baldyza: @mikedewar I got tons of those errors working with R API in C. Want some snippets?

baldyza: I want to like http://soundcloud.com just cant find enough good stuff

baldyza: I favorited a YouTube video -- Die Heuwels Fantasties "Leja" http://youtu.be/A8y6RhgktNc?a

baldyza: die heuwels fantasties - great music videos. Makes me home sick.

baldyza: coffee machine had the decaf light on and I could not turn it off. Doubting the espresso, waiting for any possible placebo effect.

baldyza: ek soek die cane train

baldyza: afrikaans techno, what next.

The big show is finally upon us, right out of nowhere. I'll be in six dances all in all, so it should be worth a watch.

Tickets are selling like hotcakes at R50 apiece, so give me a holla if you want in. If you not into the dancing, then seeing me falling on my ass should be worth a watch.

baldyza: @faulpaul lucky you!

1 x honeymoon period
As about 4 days ago, very very much in love with London.
It feels like it's all coming together and that the city might even be warming to me. Or maybe I'm just toughening up.

1 x manflu
My poor Brit caught my manflu.

Peas: You've just been on a wild and crazy stag do in Edinburgh. So you didn't catch it from me.

Brit: I did catch it from you. It's just come out of incubation.

Peas: You can't blame me for this. At least not entirely.

Brit: And why not?

Peas: Because...that sucks.

1 x British experience in Brighton
We ate fish and chips, as one does, on the cloudy, windswept and pebbled shores of Brighton. When asked what we want to drink with our fish and chips, everyone unanimously chimed, 'Tea.'

Peas: Tea? With fish?


Team: Yes. Why?

Peas: Erm...I know you all love your tea, but with your savoury meal? Don't get me wrong, tea with a scone, sure. With fish drizzled in vinegar?

Team: What else would we drink with our meal?

Peas:....a beer? Glass of water? ...a Coke?

Team: No. Tea.

Peas: Right. Well best I drink tea then...with my cod.

And henceforth cradled a milky cup of tea in a polystyrene cup, and realised that those who chide the English for bland food, in in this case, 100% correct. (Zing it up with a coke, come on).

4 x shoes
After meeting mates out for a long liquid lunch over the weekend, I shopped when I was drunk. And came home with a bagful of shoes. None, luckily, the cash equivalent of Elton John's Riviera pad, or aquamarine suede. (As I've done before.)

But 4 pairs of shoes nevertheless. Post-purchase guilt has firmly set in, and next time I will refrain from getting off the tube at Kensington High Street after cocktails. Maybe.

45 x herbal tablets
My aunt took me to a Dr Hong over the weekend. To 'balance out my hormones and re-coordinate my body. Pounds later and a dude holding my pulse and telling me it was 'weak' (I'm frail?), this is what happened:

Doctor: ching chong ya ya haha honk kond dong nihaw.

Translator: He's worried about your body not being balanced.

Peas:...and he got that how?

Doctor: [concerned and shouting] Nihaw yak! Jyutping jutpin mah!

Translator: You have digestive problems.

Peas: Well sometimes after a large night on the piss, I get a bit bloa...

Doctor: Yak! Shaojiang Deng Xiaoping!

Translator: Your body is hanging onto toxins and throwing your whole body out of balance. Do you experience PMS?

Peas: I will snap your head off with a scythe.

Translator: Here. Two weeks herbs for only 70 pound.

Peas: What the FUCK.

Translator: Next time, you acupuncture.

Peas: Awesome.

1 x eyebrow waxing

Was looking a little woolley. She plucked me to buggery. My eye area looks a bit bald, mate.

1 x Brit
Love my little Anglo-Saxon.

baldyza: nearly 9000 words.

baldyza: RT @CapeTown: ENews just missed the LIVE implosion of the #CapeTowers in Athlone - 4 minutes EARLY no rehersal and no count down

baldyza: total anti climax for the athlone cooling towers.
