Awwwww so cute!

Ingrid, one of my co-workers brought in a kitten to work today that a friend of hers was going to pickup. It’s a cute little black thing with big eye’s. Obviously no work got done because we all wanted to play with the kitten.?

I took a few pictures, sorry about the quality… but they were taking in less than ideal location with a kitten climbing all over me and I had to use my cell phone.

It’s been a while…

It’s been a while since I last posted anything on this site, guess I’ve been a little busy.

So I’m going to give you a quick run down of what happened in the last 9 Months or so…

  • I met someone, fell madly in love and now have a girlfriend 🙂 her name is Claire.
  • I got my drivers license (finally) and bought my self a car, 2nd VW Polo.
  • I moved into a flat on my own 🙂
  • And a bunch of other things that aren’t really all that important.

So I guess I’m progressing with my “master plan” of trying to get a life. Admittedly it would probably have been a good idea to try and document the whole process online for the world, well those with internet… I have a very small world, could comment on it and share in my joy, pain and excitement.

Anyway I’m now going to try write stuff again… lets see how this goes.

Famous Friends

Christiaan KritzingerThe internet is a strange place… was having a discusion over IM (Instant Messaging, for those of you are new to this Internet thing) with a friend about all the guys we were in school and what happened to the people.

Anyway while I was having a black & white flashback moment reliving my youth, I decided to put a few of my friends names into Google to see if any robbed banks, became multi billionaires or became famous while I was attempting to get a life. So it doesn’t appear that anyone robbed any banks or made large sums of money… but at least one of us accomplished something that got them into Google.

A friend of mine from high school, Christiaan Kritzinger (although I knew him as Tiaan) actually recorded a CD and got it released and he’s got a MySpace page and in true MySpace fashion you can listen to his music on the page. Now I’m not exaclty a fan of Afrikaans music but the music isn’t bad and its kinda cool being able to say “I know this guy with a CD out”.

Now I just need the guys email address so that I can acquire a signed CD (I’ll pay for it, I’m not that cheap.) and I’m not creating a MySpace account just to say hi.

SNOW !!!

Swartberg - Snow - ThumbnailSo as most people in the Southern Cape of South Africa will know, this last weekend a cold front hit us and its now really, really, really… really cold. It also snowed and hailed in various parts of the Southern Cape.

So I sent out Stuff.za.net’s official photographer (My Brother, Devin) to go get some photos of the snow for those of us who are stuck in offices and can’t go out traveling in search of snow. More? pictures after the? jump… Continue reading

Unknown Car

Saw this car in the traffic, the picture was taken through the back window of my aunts VW Polo. I really like the car and it was in immaculate condition, I actually thought it was a new car, something like a Daihatsu Copen. My uncle is pretty sure it said Peugeot on the back, but more info would be greatly appreciated.

Bean Bags

On my trek round the cape this past weekend we saw two guys loading a small old Bantam bakkie with bean bags.

Would have loved to see what it looked like going round corners.

Which Star Trek Character am I?

I went and did one of those silly online tests to see which Star Trek character I am,? according to the test I’m Georgi LaForge, which oddly enough is probably a good fit for me. I would’ve loved to have been Jean-Luc Picard or perhaps Wesley Crusher or Data.
