DAY 551: R.BROWN DOES JOSI TOWN

Thanks to the Kings of Leon's wimpy ass drummer who got some "arm hernia" and decided to postpone their tour to South Africa, I had no choice but to swap my ticket to U2's 360 degree concert in Jozi Town.

I'll admit, they're not my most fave band. I h
ave none of their albums and know very few of their songs, but I have to say those old toppie rockers pulled a pretty sweet show out the bag. Everything about it was impressive. The giant, expandable 360 degree screen, the moving bridges over the stage, the light spectacular, the crowd of around 120 000 people. But the most impressive part of the show for me was Bono himself. I think he's the only rocker in the world who can swing from a LED lit microphone in an 80's black leather jacket, whilst still managing to convince people that he is the next Jesus Christ.

BONO:
WHAT TIME IS IT IN THE WORLD? IT'S SHOW TIME!

The light fantastic and the expandable screen.

DAY 459: CAN YOU BE MY COPYWRITER?


My last writer Miss Mullany, left two months ago to pursue her life long dream of becoming a Barista at some coffee place. Strange but true. To fill the Mullany gap, I decided to make a recruitment ad that would catch me a writer....the right writer. To achieve this, we placed a banner on Bizcommunity, in the job section which leads you to this website:

The response has been great so far!

DAY 477: SOMETIMES I FEEL REALLY, REALLY SMALL AND INSIGNIFICANT AND RETARDED

Especially when I come across something as amazing and inspiring as THIS:

DAY 453: FAREWELL TRUSTY STEED


Renault Brown died. Her heart (starter motor) stopped, and after three (very experimental) attempts at reviving her, my mechanic gave up. So I've had to sell her *sniff* for parts *double sniff* and buy a 'normal' car, with brake lights and windows that open, and an exhaust pipe, etceteraaaaa, etceteraaaaaa.
May I introduce you to the lovely new Ka-Ka:



The new BF has also just bought himself this very cool scooter called a Big Boy:

inevitably the question was asked:
"CAN I PARK MY BIG BOY BEHIND YOUR KA-KA?"
.... well we thought it was funny.
