I have shared a few things in the past few posts. Here is more.... I have come to realise that music will stick in my head for a while and I'll wake up singing TruDog style :) For all those who have not heard TruDog, check out any TobyMac CD. So, because sleep is so important to me I think I will not listen to TobyMac for a little while... Other things that have come up are my article for my Masters in Education. I have struck a wall. The theorist we have to use has mentioned that one articular area is important in his theory but has failed to write anything more than a page on it. Go figure.... So, now I have to search for others who have studied his work and written on that one area. Quite frustrating. At least I have managed to write 1/4 of the article, but now need to look at the institutional material / curriculum and analyse the information (read data) So far so good. Being on holiday at the moment obviously helps, but I know myself that I will try to push all the things int...

I like this picture just because of the stark contrasts it shows between the manipulated fabric and the harsh environment. Although it might be quite interesting how the model walked over the rocks in those shoes :) This picture is just as brilliant, but not because of anything but the manipulation of the fabric . The huge sleeves contrast very nicely with the tiny corseted waist. This one I like because of the lighting and the play on colour. Quite dramatic effects. I hope you enjoyed....

Anyone who ever thought that buying a house is an investment, needs to do the maths. Now, for those of you who are not good with that sort of thing, the maths has been done for you here . You need to register or log in to see the article (it's for free). I will be renting from now on.

It has been quite challenging to think about the painting I'm planning. Apart from the theme (Armageddon) to find the correct poses and armour proves to be more challenging than I thought. Why pick this particular theme? Well, a few years ago I heard a song in a church service called "Your Bride is an Army". It somehow struck a chord in me (pardon the pun). To this day the words echo in my mind - there was not much more to it than that, but it seems the Holy Spirit wanted to open my mind to something more, for which I seem to be ready now. Maybe it is that in the past few months the urgency of the gospel has touched me. There is so much warning and so much preparation in the Bible for that day, that we need to take the warnings seriously and start fighting the fight that God has prepared us for and that we need to anticipate. We need to become the Army that will engage in battle. We are so complacent in the here and now that the thought of battle and war does not affect o...

I decided it was time to change the look of the blog. I stared into the green truncated squares a little too long. Hope you guys like it. There have been many developments in the past two months. For one, I passed my subject at UCT and so can continue with the next one. Registration took it's usual route, with the incompetence of staff members shining like the sun. Nevertheless they finally managed to register me. I also finished with the evening classes I was teaching and this time round the students were very cool. I'm thankful it's over. We moved offices (easier said than done). To move a fashion school is not for the faint-hearted. Needless to say, things will take longer than you think, even tough you might take this rule into account. (Thanks to Murphy's Law) I found a garage for my car in the complex. What a pleasure to not having to wipe the windscreen every morning and freezing my toes off, until the heating kicks in. This means I have a little bit of storage s...

The odometer of the "old leaker" (thanks J9 for that expression) about two months before trade-in. The "old leaker" himself or is that 'herself'? Yes, yes, the big NAM sticker had to feature :) TA DAAAAAA! This picture was taken about 30 seconds before realising that I had just locked myself out and bout 30 minutes away from being scratched. The chip above the door has been painted, but, as many of you know, metallics are problem and the frame would need some spraying to regain it's newness and shine. *sigh* But overall, I'm very happy and still trying to get used to having all the controls switched from left to right. At 1500 km on the clock I can't complain about performance. Over and out.
