That’s my favourite title of all of Peter Mammes’ artworks at his exhibition, Absurd Objects, And Other Relics For The Future, currently happening Upstairs@Bamboo in…
I have to do this: I have to brag. If you’re going to share your life with someone, make it someone who absolutely rocks in…
I think I’ve finally reached critical cheese mass… I recently found myself inappropriately excited at the prospect of spending long, inhuman hours on the set of a Vampire movie being shot in Jozi, sweating and hammering and building and painting and pasting and wielding a nail gun and maybe a coffeepot for mahala… Yep, you heard right: not money, just experience, and because I’m crazy like that. Also, the idea of building and decorating coffins for the undead somehow doesn’t give me the heebie jeebies… Quite the contrary, actually.
Oh, and just to end off the evening with a favourite quote, courtesy of Neil Gaiman: “Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it?…
Those are perhaps the most poignant words in any song written about love I’ve heard so far… St Vincent and The National’s cover of Crooked Fingers’ Sleep All Summer always leaves me missing people I haven’t even fallen in love with, trying to sing along despite the big lump in my throat.
Laughter. According to various sources, it’s the best medicine, a shock absorber, the human race’s only effective weapon, a good judge of a man’s character (depending on what he laughs at), a direct result of man’s deep suffering and flowers (the way the Earth laughs, see…).
Which is why I’m going to change my chosen career path. When I grow up, I’m going to be the guy that does the voiceovers for the marketing sequences on M-Net’s Action Channel. No jokes.
