random quips

- well, i'm a bit (or actually a lot) tired this morning as i got little to no sleep last night; thought i'd watch as the primary results for texas and ohio (and vermont and RI) came in. bug mistake. not only am i extremely tired, i'm also grumpy and not so happy with the results (or with the clinton smear and attack campaign in the final days before the primaries..."shame on you")

-it's been almost 2 weeks now that my hakuna-mutata has been in the shop and they still don't know when it will be ready to pick up. i'm not complaining tho, i like the upgrade they gave me to use in the meantime. so no worries (get it...get it...!!)

-i'm also a bit sore from the "active" weekend that i had. including going to the gym on friday (doesn't happen all too often, but i did learn that i have 12.3% body fat...i think thats good, no), paintballing on sat, and playing some serious soccer (futbol) on sunday. i think u can find some pics of paintballing on facebook...'twas all good, tho; plus i need to condition myself for going hiking 2 consecutive wknds at the end of the month. eish

-going out friday night, i noticed everywhere was packed and traffic was backed-up everywhere. as in much much more than usual. so i ask a friend what was going on. a concert? play? nelson mandela? actually, none of the above. it was the end of the month, and since people here get paid only once a month at the end of the month, everyone goes out and spends like crazy at month's end. note to self: avoid shopping at month's end

-still waiting for my cell phone to be activated....my land line may or may not be installed on sat or sun

i'll try to think of something more substantive to write next time...

I hope you used the paintball skills that Kendall and David passed on to you in Houston to dominate those around you!

Also - I just read that one of my favorite bands, Muse, is playing in SA at the Coke festival on Mar 21...you should check them out if you're bored, it's not too expensive and if you like rock'ish stuff.

I like the may or may not comment. That's when you know that SA is still part of the "emerging markets" to put it in good terms. Now you are making me feel bad for not hitting the gym, but 12.3%? Tsk tsk!!! My recommendation, home cooked food as often as possible.
