Quite Time

After nearly 5 or 6 months, since just before the Soccer World Cup here in SA ( It rocked!) I finally have 2 weeks in a row of quite time. It feels weird to not have something on the cards for the weekend. I can usually give a friend a call and be off on some gallivanting drunk or gaming session but this time round, I haven't got anything. It is weird, but also good. I needed some recuperation.

Although that puts in a spot as I have nothing to do....

Sorcerers Apprentice!

What a great movie this was. Had the chance for a relaxing weekend this time round. So I decided I would go and watch the new release with Nicholas Cage Sorcerers Apprentice.

As most of you will remember the cute movie with Mickey Mouse where he had a little incident with the brooms, it was great to see that this had come through to the new movie which had some great humor as well as special effects to it.

It is by no means my favorite movie of the year but it sure was a cracker of a movie and one I would re-watch in time.

I saw the cheekiest advertising yesterday, something that I haven't seen the like of in SA for a long time. The main reason being, competitive advertising in SA is "frowned" upon.

Everyone in SA is aware of the biggest sharks called Telkom and their closest competitors Neotel. Driving along the N1 to Pretoria just going through the Midrand area, Neotel has one of their main offices setup there nice and visible in Orange.

Now Telkom decided that they would put an advert on a billboard not more than 200m away stating " Beware the Orange". Well not in those exact words but that is what they said. I find that extremely hilarious as well as annoying at the same time.

Firstly because Telkom are such assholes, who have been raping this country for years with their expensive telephones charges and interenet solutions. Now they have to balls to stand there and advertise such a blatant add against Neotel which I might have been a right step in the direction to cheaper internet and telecoms.

Oh well, now that we know that Telkom is starting to worry about their market share, especially since a lot of service providers are undercutting them and a fair amount of new options coming out faster each year, but why would they go to such lengths as advertising something so grossly inappropriate.

Anyways, my rant is off for the day. :P

Ahh what a weekend! Went to the braai, which ended being a beer pong night with some free swimming lessons with my cloths on! Slept over and woke up to the breakfast of champions, more beer! :P

Then went to putt-putt and had some chow. After wards we cruised through to Sexpo which was ok with a few interesting sites. :) After wards we went back and had some more beer!

Slept over again and then went from their to more putt-putt and then a good dose of pc and games at the Rage Expo!

After wards went home and watched The A-team, Salt and The Karate Kid....

What a hectically packed weekend! phew!
