i love arb weekends!

it all started with a friday where nothing much happened because dear Vanessa is busy working like a diligent poodle and is actually doing research for her honours thesis. So i decided that without a coffee and rusk buddy to go into varsity with, varsity wasn't a good idea. So instead, i lazed at home putting music on my ipod and watching the news (ok ok... some news and a dvd) and then went to work.

*insert interesting things about work here later when you think of them*

post-work, my dearest bud Shakti, Mary & i went to a party hosted by my friend Jono(fratboy to end all fratboys) and the usual drunken babbles, fistfights and the playing of (as Shaks put it) 'doof doof white boy music' ensued. It was *ahem* interesting and ended, as all parties of the frat boy nature, when someone was taken off in an ambulance with a bleeding head. Last thing i saw was Jono stumbling around holding his face... not my favourite kind of party... but interesting nonetheless!

Saturday, Shaks and i awoke at ELEVEN! which is the latest I've ever slept in my whole life... apart from the time i went through a musical theatre stage and used to stumble in at 4 am and scare the cat with my stage makeup ... and went to work (again) with Tom the Bomb (my dear 'hot homosexual friend' - which is what he says i should tell my grandchildren he was when they look at pictures of him in years to come) and did lots of worky things - like taking photos and eating chocolate and googling things.

Sunday had the usual mix of work (how monotone.... work work work) but with the added bonus of our security guard Dave catching our very first shop lifter! It was exciting and criminal and so of course I wasn't actually IN the store when it happened, i was prancing around buying coffee... but it turns out he was a drunk guy called Loyiso (so from now on I will raise a glass to Loyiso in pubs) who shoved one of the biggest, hard cover books we have in our store (the Readers Digest collection of jokes and funny stories) under his jersey...
And post work was the usual Sunday night dinner when Tom, Shaks and i went to Sandton (Saaandton Doll!) and moaned about the lack of available men...

So while there was arbness, not much was done this weekend... and that's how i like it!

OH- before i forget, a funny thing happened on Thursday night when a bunch of us went to see "A Good Woman" (Scarlett Johannsen is one of the most irritating actresses EVER after Kirstin Dunst and Dakota Fanning) and i was the first to arrive and since we were running out of time, I stood in the ticket queue... as i got to the front, no one had arrived yet so i started letting the people behind me jump in and i said to some lady
"you can go ahead, I'm waiting for a bunch of tardy people"
and she looked at me disdainfully and muttered, "we don't call people retarded!"
and so i skulked off and hid near the escalator to escape her wrath!!

That's all for now.

It's been real.

Love Sarah
