"page more intersting"

Here's some the low down. A recent protest march in the streets of Joburg, sparked a comment by one of my friends (lets call her Michelle):

heard you marching tomorrow

I wasn't, but nevertheless I my facebook wall got bombarded the next day by a series of further related posts. Here they are in order:

- just saw you on tv
- wtf were you thinking wearin that shirt to the march?????
- saw your interview on tv - why did you say that?
- heard they finally arrested you, suppose i wont get a reply
- actually i was trying to make your page more intersting
- think it worked? comments again:  i think so

Brilliant - thanks Michelle, always a laugh!!

Weekday comparisons

Over the past few weeks I've compared the days of the week, in no particular order, to a middle-age fantasy world which does not exist. Why? Because its a fun way to experiment with creativity.
Here they are in order. Saturday was never put on facebook, this one I saved for the blog readers:

Monday is a traitor

if Tuesday were a princess, she'd be the ugly stepsister, fat-footed, dumpling-eating-contest-winner, chased by angry peasants.

Wednesday is the short sighted messenger, horseback travelled across the countryside to bear a scroll of impending attack.

If Thursday was a nightwatchman, he'd be an over-eager, axe-weilding, bribable draw-bridge gaurd over a croc infested swampy moat..

If friday were king, it would rule with smiles, lowered taxes, sunny skies and happy hours..

if Saturday were the queen, she'd be the well presented and sophisticated monarch by day, and equally opposite after dark.

if Sunday were the priest, he'd rest..
