GLEE!
This Gleek is just back from GLEE Live in London at the O2 Arena. Now, bear with me if you have no idea what I’m talking about. (If you know, you know…if you get what I mean?) It was awesome. No Mr Schuester and no Sue Sylvester, very sadly, but the entire rest of the … Continue reading
The mother tongue
Today I hung out with a friend from back home for a couple of hours – we started off having a coffee (well, let’s be honest, it was a Starbucks Coffee Light Frappucino at half price between 3pm – 5pm for this week – all together now: Hello Sue) and then we just hung out … Continue reading
Invictus…
Yesterday we returned from three glorious sun-drenched weeks in Namibia and South Africa. In an effort to stay awake and combat the dreadful jetlag that a six-hour time difference and a 23-hour door-to-door journey leave you with, we decided to head to the movies and see Clint Eastwood’s Invictus, featuring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela … Continue reading
Nothing Compares To Hugh
My former Cape Town flatmate Sam came to visit me from Ft Lauderdale where she now lives and, as per the usual visit-from-Sam ritual, we decided to go see something fabulous on Broadway. The nature of New York’s Broadway scenes is such that you truly can go see a new show once a week and … Continue reading
Waving is not that much fun by yourself…
This morning I opened my gmail account and was ecstatic to see that I had finally cracked an invite to join the new Google Wave! (Oh man…how much of a geek have I become?) I put everything else aside and prepared to be amazed – Wave, for those of you who do not yet know, … Continue reading
Accomplice…

The Accomplice: The Village is part theater, part walking tour, part mystery crime riddle and a whole lot of fun! Eight of us met … Continue reading
U2 360 Tour
Last night another one of my life dreams came true when I got to see (and hear) Bono sing ‘With or Without You’ live. My entire being was covered in goosebumps and I just could not stop smiling / jumping / screaming / giggling with excitement. (Yes, I was THAT girl at the concert…) My … Continue reading
Extreme Teacupping
I’m adventurous in many aspects of life. Roller coasters are not one of them. I hate having the bottom of my stomach drop into my toes and I hate not being in control of rapidly accelerating vehicles of any kind. So you can imagine my horror when John finally managed to convince me and a couple … Continue reading
District 9 – A must see!
Last night the Mr took me on a romantic date night that involved eating at a great place called The Fatty Crab (we drank rum and coconut water out of actual coconuts – pity about the New York traffic right outside…I almost felt like I was on a beach somewhere tropical!) and then a movie. … Continue reading
