Wow work is totally hectic right now. 'Hectic Bru'... that's just the height of lame Cape Town isn't it?
There's not too much in the news that I want to comment about, all's quiet after the public holiday. The Donnald did have another child though, this one by his Slovenian model wife, hopefully the kid gets her hair and not his. Surely his other kids want him to stop, further children simply thin the inheitance pool.
I have a gash on my finger that really hurts, okay it's more of a scratch and not really hurting so much as annoying, but it's a really deep scratch.
CONTEST
Entries are hotting up, you are allowed to enter as many times as you like, your entries should be mailed to me (schpat at gmail dot com) and I'll be posting a full list on Monday. That's right, you have until monday at about lunch time to get your ideas for a contest in, but don't leave it until then you may just forget and miss out on the chance to win a R100 gift certificate. Do the math, it's money for nothing.
AND SPEAKING OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Well I didn't know that 'Human Rights Day' was to commemorate the Sharpeville Massacre, I thought that was June 16 'Youth Day', so I looked it up. Of course I was wrong but I was very surprised to see that out of the 7 non-religious public holidays in South Africa 5 commemorate uprisings and protests, 1 freedom from minority oppression and 1 national heritage. One of the 5 commemorating uprisings is supposedly a day for all of the rainbow nation to reconcile and forgive each other. If reconciliation and forgiveness truly are the government's intention why then do we have so many opportunities for politicians to remind everyone how bad apartheid was, and how guilty white people should feel, scheduled right there on our calendars? It's because it helps keep the population focused on ancient history and united in the same way a common enemy unites people, thus avoiding the actual issues at hand and getting rid of a government that is doing nothing much for them. Hey it worked for the national part too, I'm just pointing the practice out.

ANOTHER MOVIE
Last night I watched "The Prime Gig" a very cool movie starring Vince Vaughn. I'll admit, I love Vaughn, I've checked out his filmography and can't see a single movie I disliked, I think he is terrifically undervalued as an actor. The movie itself is relatively low budget and also stars Ed Harris. Set against a telemarketing backdrop we follow two weeks in the life of a top sales man. Obviously there's more than that, there's conflict and consequence and some really good acting, not all the reviews I've read complimented the movie but I enjoyed it and don't think I wasted my time. If you don't see this movie though you should check out "Blackball", a British movie about lawn bowls starring Vaughn as a overachieving sports agent, it was really funny.
Anyway, that's it for today.
