The Social Network

Mrs. redzxber — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:32:12 +0000

j-a.g & I watched The Social Network courtesy of Ster Kinekor & 2 Oceansvibe last night… the theatre was filled with local bloggers, of which we only recognised one! We collected our free popcorn (most of which, ended up on the floor!) plus coke and settled in to watch a movie about Facebook.

Tbh - I really wasn’t sure what to expect; I mean I am on Facebook most days and so couldn’t really imagine what the movie would be about? Turns out, it’s basically all about how the social networking site came about and the ups and downs of the early days. The movie was actually really enjoyable; a good cast, very funny dialogue and I’d recommend you watch it even if you aren’t a Facebook fan.

EEeeck a Cape Cobra!

Mrs. redzxber — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:39:40 +0000

So… while I had a super day today… I can’t go without mentioning this: While we were at Witsands, mrb asked me to go back up to the car and get some water for him. On my way back, I am skipping down the stairs, when all of a sudden I come (almost) face to face with a Cape Cobra… It was huge (2m?) and was slithering itself up the stairs, while I was heading down straight towards it.

The moment we saw one another, with just 2 steps between us, we both stopped, backed up (and it totally did the whole cobra hood thing – which is heart-stoppingly scary). A moment later, it turned around and slipped off the stairs into the surrounding fynbos. I stood there until ALL of it was out of sight before making my way down on very shaky legs… I couldn’t have skipped the rest of the way if I tried!

Shew. Close call. It happened all too quick to grab a pic, so I have borrowed this one to show you what it looked like:

Sabbatical Monday

Mrs. redzxber — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:25 +0000

This is what a Monday on my sabbatical feels like…

A morning walk on Fish Hoek Beach….

… Watching the boys kiting at Witsands….

… enjoying the quite of the beach…

… getting home to find it clean and tidy….

.. finding lazy laaaazzaaarrrr upstairs…

…. Ah yes… it’s just gone 5pm… HOME TIME

Your invite to THE SOCIAL NETWORK pre-public preview

Mrs. redzxber — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 13:58:33 +0000

At least being crapped on by a sea gull the other day wasn’t for nothing… I received my FREE movie (+ 1) invitation to a pre-public preview of THE SOCIAL NETWORK movie (the facebook movie!) at Cavendish. So of course I *have* take my social networking accomplice (j-a.g) with this tonight:

I will review this later in the hopes of getting MORE free movies

SEATS: 7:11-7:15 + FEBRUARY 2010 = U2

Mrs. redzxber — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 16:16:15 +0000

On a whim – I sent j-a.g a message early this morning, on Facebook, saying – if you manage to get through to computicket and book your tickets… get one for me too…

Then I left the house – went out and didnt think of it again… until I had an sms saying… “Got your ticket! Woo”

Well: WOO indeed!! I am going to U2 with the g/b family – YAY** for summer & concerts & friends & U2…

** = Throws hands up in the air, screams WOOT!! WOOT!!

A movie for mrb: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Mrs. redzxber — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:24:09 +0000

HAHAH and I think they are being totally serious… See here : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1374989/

“Jane Austen’s classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England is faced with a new challenge — an army of undead zombies.”

Whats going on?

Mrs. redzxber — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 13:45:47 +0000

I know – I know! I’ve been MIA… but:

Believe it or not, I’ve been stuck behind this computer for what seems like WWWEEEEKKKKSS. I’ve had a little project which is, mercifully, coming to an end. And of course, you’ll be the first to know all about it once its ‘up’! I’ve been at it for ages, but for you it’ll be all new and shiney and sparkly, so I hope I have done well and that you’re all sufficiently impressed.

I’ve also got a complete make-over for this page up my sleeve and I hope to share that with you next week!

In the mean time, I’m uber excited about Kathalijne’s exhibition in November. We went to knock off a couple of % points for framing on Tues, followed by a visit to the exhibition venue: The Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street. John, Sergio and Stephan allowed us to join them in their.. um.. meeting at the Daddy Cool bar. This venue is perfect and I cannot WAIT for the opening night!

I’m also trying to get a guest list of rich and influential people to invite along – Please send over names and email addresses; people!

mrb will be away for a week & a bit in November (not to worry @kat… he leaves after the exhibition opening!) So… ja – party at my house!

In other exciting news – Kirstenbosch has finally given the list for the summer concerts: I’ll be going to Just Jinger, Prime Circle, Parlotones (of course!) and Goldfish… I recently got the new Goldfish album and I have to say it is absolutely brilliant – so theirs will be a concert not to miss either! Who’s going to what?? Have to see you there!

And tonight… we’re off to Polana’s with an awesome group of friends to take advantage of the R50 for a fillet special… Woohoo! & Yummeh…

Drive thro car wash

Mrs. redzxber — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 10:47:19 +0000

I didn’t even know this about myself… but I’ve never taken a car through the automatic car wash by my self before. Ususally mrb drives and it’s always in a childish way kind of fun to sit in there while the car is being beaten ~~to death~~ clean.

So when I took the car today, I was stunned to realised I hadn’t gone in there by myself before. Random.

I had my camera and took lots of pictures for the duration of the momentous event (well, it certainly kept me entertained for the entire 3.5 mins) I’m just not sure what the operator thought I was doing in there, though! ;o)

10 10 10… so whats next? the courage to change everything?

Mrs. redzxber — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 15:59:56 +0000

Does this day mean anything special to you?

Well, this IS the life!

Mrs. redzxber — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:21:09 +0000

Today, I’m wine & chocolate tasting, followed by an ‘unforgettable luncheon’ by one of SA’s top 10 chefs… on a gorgeous day, in Stellenbosch, with j-a.g.

Whatchoo doing??

I’m walking on Sunshine…and don’t it feel good!! #cheeseoftheday

Mrs. redzxber — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:35:24 +0000

I’m in my element… the happy one mrb has decided to work one job instead of 2, which means he’s working from home these (last 2) days. He did ask whether it would be ‘ok’ since I am on sabbatical and I have my own space. But – of course its ‘ok’!

He’s less stressed, he’s happier, he’s home more, he’s more ‘present’. I now have the company of my best friend, we get up when we want to (no more alarm clocks!) we smile and joke and have a wonderful time. We even had our very first #lunchbeer today. Although that was an epic fail** on mrb’s part… but we have time to practice!

On my way home from my 2nd #luncbeer of the day (thanks ka), Fresh was playing the ‘cheese of the day’, which was none other than “Katrina And The Waves – Walking On Sunshine”. Singing along, as you’re supposed to with cheese of the day; I had to reflect on how perfectly happy I am right now and if all the kuk previously made it possible to be this happy – then, ja: it was worth it!

I feel the love,I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real
I feel the love, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real

I’m walking on sunshine , wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
and don’t it feel good!!

** first he doesn’t finish his #lunchbeer, THEN he won’t let ME (his wife for life) finish it for him. #epicfail.

I realise this is morbid

Mrs. redzxber — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 09:16:42 +0000

But I don’t see why I have to experience this on my own. Right – so you remember the snake that Lazer brought in?? Well looky look what I got today:

They’re getting bigger… I wonder what I’ll get for Christmas?? An entire reindeer maby?

Graffiti

Mrs. redzxber — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 06:30:29 +0000

When you’re feeling completely bleak and not really in the mood for anything fun, what better way to put a smile on your face than leaving the house and finding your garage door graffiti’d with your name and a big smiley face!!

Thanks mrb x
