Deepest Darkest Africa
Posted on April 14, 2008 in Misfits.
So they say candlelight is supposed to be romantic. They also say that candlelight makes things look better than they might normally look.
Tonight i found myself questioning these ideas. Why did I land up questioning them? Well Eskom, that’s why! Need i say more? Load-shedding might be what we need at the moment but when you have to teach dancing in the dark and without the music it really is not fun.
Not only was that irritating but living in South Africa today everyone knows there are issues with crime so being a few girls left late at night in a pitch black school alone, is not fun.
I have to admit though, the candles were a nice touch and I have never seen the studio look so good as it did tonight,lol. As for my dancers, they looked in pretty good shape for just having had a three week long holiday. So there really are some things that are good about candlelight. I have to admit that it ads an extra bit of fun and excitement to the situation as well.
“Dear John”
Posted on April 12, 2008 in Pen on paper.
So i just finished this book called “Dear John” Nicholas Sparks. Not sure who he is? Well he is the guy that wrote The Notebook, A Walk To Remember and Message In A Bottle. Does that ring a bell?
By now one can figure that it is a romance. Yep, that’s exactly it. Kind of Pearl Harbour meets Full Metal Jacket…not quite, but close. Well it is a modern war romance. Iraq, 9/11, and all that. It’s great because it’s so real and so possible. It makes one wonder if there really is some kind of romance like in this novel going on out there.
I don’t want to give the story away, so i suggest you go read it. It’s worth the read. I’m sure every girl will agree with me that romances are great (not too much of them though). This one is even better as it’s something to relate to.
I happen to have a weak spot for this kind of thing and i just loved it. Nicholas Sparks is a great writer. We have all seen the movies adapted out of his books and they were great. His novels are even better. :)
This book has inspired me to go outside when there is a full moon and just reflect on the good in my life, particularly the happy times in my relationship with Matt. Books like this make me all soppy and girly, I just can’t help it.
