A little update

I really mean to blog more often but not enough interesting stuff seems to happen to me. So My brother went and proposed to his girlfriend last week (f-i-n-a-l-l-y) No not the one who got married - he has a wife already. No not the one in high school his girlfriend is only 14. The OTHER brother (the one who lives closer to the beach in Natal)

I think it is pretty gosh darned exciting. A little surprised that the new fiance was so surprised... but then maybe it was the event itself that surprised her and not the fact that my brother actually wanted to be legal bound to her. (We date for 6 years... Wait now you want to marry me? uuuum okay!)

So we had a pleasant little family shindig to make for celebrationing. Yaaay yummy food and awkward kitchen creativity! (Russians stuffed with apple slices... hmmmm ditto the pepperdew and feta muffins)

Then on Saturday (we're working backwards in time) I went to movies with Mr Thursday (yeah yeah we're official now... blah blah those who know me too well - stop betting how long it will take me before someones feelings get hurt)... so on Saturday we went to watch Sherlock Holmes. BUT, instead of the impart-ing of my well informed excellent critique on the film, let me tell you, We went to watch it at Clearwater Mall.... in the deep West Rand.

I saw a girl wif a mullet (say moo-lay) wif two boyfriends, one sporting a mohawk and one sporting an impressive muffin top (who says a tight pant are just for the girls?) Altho the girl and the muffin-top man left and 5 minutes later all three returned... meaning the mohawk guy felt left out and snuck past us like a ninja. (Not as ninja like as the head of my Division, but that's a story for another day)

I saw three lemons uuuh I mean girls walk in and give me the ugly eyeball. they were joined by a boyfriend. the two un-connected one proceeded to alternately ugly eyeball the girlfriend and flutter eyes at the boyfriend. ("stroke my knuckle hair more skattie, your friends make me feel like a piece of meat")

I got wolf-whistled on my way into the bathroom - I had to contain myself from asking "Have you boys finished your homework yet?" And then the two chaps in question were joined by a girl as I was leaving the bathroom and they made a macho show of not looking so way totally lame anymore and walked off all three arm in arm in arm. aka the Teen girl sandwich - the chains between the three of them should have been sparking within a few steps.

Anyway, I finished my over sweet cinnamon coffee and scurried off to the movie (I have Mr Thursday convinced for a whole worrying 5 minutes that we were watching Twilight) and found the movie too long and unoriginally obsessed with the black arts (yawn, new plot theme) but by golly it was a good story!
