What the F***?

Facinating article on "linguistic taboos", a.k.a swearing.

Vista might be all the rage these days (or not), but this blast from the past is too much funny!

Rather late than never: South Africa

Three months is a long enough time to come up with something to write in one's blog, no? Well, you would think that to be the case. It seems my mind has been far too occupied with other things for the period though. Like getting around the country. Around the end of April/early May, I clocked some 6,000km driving around South Africa - I visited a bunch of places I always meant to but never really had enough time.

Sadly, the trip didn't go as planned because my companion was stuck overseas. Hope he hasn't given up and we'll go explore together soon - I'll have a better plan for next time.

One of the notable places I visited was the Kruger National Park,
more info here and here. I will definitely be back for more! I found it to be an amazing place - it's odd because I'm not really the out-in-Africa type. Which reminds me, I still haven't sorted through all of the pictures (there's about 3,000 of them), but a selection of the best is in my Flickr album.

That's it for now. I'll try and update on a more frequent basis in future for you, dear readers

Coca-Cola Colab: featuring Seether, Collective Soul, Metallica

Yesterday we went to see this concert thrown together by Coca-Cola and local radio 5fm. After the usual parking difficulties, massive crowds, lack of hydration, it was just too much awesome to see Metallica live at last. Contrary to what one might expect, they didn't look like they're about to retire any day now at all! The supporting bands were also top notch: I was quite surprised by Collective Soul which I didn't really know from before.
