07:32 pm: They're wakin' up Maria 'cause everybody else has got some place to go
She makes a little motion with her head,
Rolls over,
And she says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more
I've said "I'm sorry" to Maria for the cold hearted thing that i have done
I've said "I'm sorry", by now, at least once to just about everyone
She says, "I've forgotten what I'm supposed to do today,"
And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say?
We're getting older and older, and older
And always a little further out of the way
You look into her eyes and it's more than your heart will allow
In August and Everything After, you get a little less than you expected, somehow...

07:38 pm: Hmmm
Newcastle - boring. I miss my family. And good weather.

12:17 pm: Okes - check out my family blog

05:13 pm: Sup?

09:21 am: The concert
Man - the Crows concert was good!

Highlights... erm. Round Here with Raining in Baltimore shoved in the middle. Rain King which suddenly morphed into Someone to Watch over Me by Irving Berlin. Counting Crows and Just Jinger on stage singing Hanginaround. Adam having a dig at Dubya... it just goes on and on.

Oh - and we were the largest crowd they have ever played to outside of the States. Man - what a night!

09:40 am: Shit
Just got a regret mail from The Weakest Link.

Oh well. Guess I'm just not destined to appear on TV.

07:30 am: Quick update
Yo dudes and stuff. Man - life is hectic.

Leigh and I are getting married here on 21 August. That is the major news for now. So much to organise.

Off to cricket at Supersport Park on Sunday (eeeeee!!!!) and Counting Crows on 21 March (double eeeeeee!!!!!) so the year is off to a rollicking start.

BTW - does anyone know why the Gary Jules cover of "Mad World" is getting so little airplay here? Or am I just not listening to the radio at the right times?

Oh - and another thing. I went for an audition for The Weakest Link yesterday. I'll know in two weeks whether I'm going to be on the show or not. Hold thumbs, y'all.

10:27 pm: Wooohooooo!!!!!!!
At long last. Leighbert and I got engaged yesterday evening. I asked her to marry me and she said yes. Go me!

12:34 pm: Ouch
Played action cricket last night... it hurt. My team got thrashed 210-36, so the ego is majorly bruised as well!

Salary review just now... hold thumbs, please.

03:35 pm: Cool! Thanks, Trish
Fuck - you guys know you can get an RSS summary of your journal? Nice.

I wonder how it handles the access control, though...

08:52 am: Oh dear
MGX is in a large amount of shit at the moment. Hold thumbs that we got out in time.

04:19 pm: Oh - here's the stuff I bought.

04:56 pm: Lately I've been thinking
What if I was wrong and the world never meant
You and I to belong
We'd have wasted so much time
Building castles in the sky only to watch them all fall down
Would it be all of our dreams so well-suited to you and I could only be half acquired
Would it be worthwhile?

Now if I could just understand this
I might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You'll be by, you'll be by, you'll be by my side in the end
We'll still be friends
Ain't it shockin how your sympathetic world amends and in time
You'll realise I'm not what I seem inside
I go wild, I go wild
I go wild.

Now if I could just.

I need to do my tax return tonight. Bleeeech.

03:48 pm: What a day, what a day
Man - smiles all round at last. I did some good stuff today and everyone is on my side at last.

If only there was some way this could last.

11:10 am: This man should hang
Bring back the death penalty!

I hope he gets raped in prison so often that his entire fuckin body splits right open.

08:54 am: Go Craig, Andre', Ricardo, Stefan and Trev!

Well done, guys!

08:34 am: Ouch.... too much money
Bought a stunning lounge suite on Saturday.

Suede! And very comfy too...

07:59 am: For Nola
Here you go...


Me on the way to Margate... yaaaawn


Me having coffee at Telkom

Have a nice day!

08:49 am: By the way
To all my South African friends... Anyone know of a good, no-mess, no-fuss way to get digital pics printed?

08:40 am: Aaah well... what a weekend, eh?
Anyway... not much to tell. Went to the rugger on Saturday. Go Sharks, go! Man - the crowd at Ellis Park is very rough. Very little class, I'm afraid.

Some pictures ( here )
Went to see my house yesterday. They've finished the brickwork of the first story. Here are some more ( pics )

Have a good day, people!
