Third World Ant: August 2005
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Monday, August 29, 2005. Four non-blondes, and me. Mkay, so the dreaded 25th is on its way. What does the infinitely wise Lauren decide to do? See her birthday in as a blonde. Fact 1: an hour of bleaching followed by an hour of blonding makes hair feel like straw. Fact 2: an hour of bleaching followed by an hour of blonding will not necessarily turn hair blonde, especially when the underlying colour is its very antithesis: blue-black. Given that my faithful g...

Third World Ant: July 2005
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. As much as I love my 'net verbal diarrhoea sessions, there's a dose of Immodium coming my way, so to speak. That's because I'm off to Canadia, to hunt down that hot man I met on Saturday. Just in case I don't find him, I'll pop in at my best friend's place for two weeks, then head back home in despair at the lost love opportunity. Peppadews on the double! Ten Inside Stories to go! Don't these funny "first world" places sell food?

Third World Ant: Mood of the month
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2007/06/mood-of-month.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Mood of the month. Up here on the blogosphere, where ordinary people gets to express their personal thoughts and day-to-day diatribe, much has been said about PMS, and therefore perhaps one could be excused for assuming that an irate woman is behaving as such only because she’s about to have her period. So, in the interests of dispelling this myth or, perhaps to confirm it I’ve done a 5-minute research effort (predictably, Wikipedia.

Third World Ant: For glory
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2007/06/for-glory.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Tuesday, June 19, 2007. So My company’s closing. Finished, kaput. It hasn’t been a real surprise; by coincidence I sit in the same area as management does, and I would have had to be completely blind to ignore the body language. Ironically, the same challenge is faced by my father’s company at the moment I imagine one of the top (if not the top) reasons small companies fail is a clash between key senior people in the firm. It isn’t the money or lifestyle that...

Third World Ant: Long weekend break
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2007/07/long-weekend-break.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Wednesday, July 04, 2007. I spent a glorious 4-day weekend in the Cape, using the opportunity presented by a former colleague’s wedding to extend my stay into a proper mini-break. At the outset however, it looked like the trip was going to deliver much uphill, as evidenced by the following:. Quite English rosey in combination with the dress) and the silver shoes (metallic glam, baby! Monday was spent on the tennis court, where Gilb and I had our first-ever te...

Third World Ant: The day has come...
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2007/08/day-has-come.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Friday, August 31, 2007. The day has come. Well, the day has finally arrived. It marks the cusp of a variety of events: the end of my flatmating (well it’s a word now, purists! With wonderful Peas; the official end of my life as a Joburger; the end of my life as a bachelorette (living with Gilb is practically being married to him, right? The end of my brief employment hiatus; my last day as a 26 year-old. Quite a list, eh? To land us in trouble with the neigh...

Third World Ant: February 2005
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Wednesday, February 16, 2005. This Valentine's Day, I opted for the conventional dinner celebration, prepared a smashing dinner at home, if I do say so myself (and I do, cos the Gilb thought he’d had better black bean stir fry elsewhere, the bastard! Has anyone ever stabbed themselves on thorns of the bushes of red roses they stuff in every nook and cranny? These are very serious questions. Posted by Third World Ant @ 5:31 PM. Friday, February 11, 2005. I'm m...

And six feet under (riiiiiight. brenda's having a threesome with two college boys, then gets fingered by a man in a clothing store while his wife's standing 2 metres away). so - has nip/tuck crossed that line and become a. Shocking programme that has lost all touch with reality? Grr play on, i say. Posted by Third World Ant @ 1:08 PM. Tuesday, March 29, 2005. Calling all movie buffs *burp*. That ...

Third World Ant: June 2005

The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Car troubles. revisited. Is it not enough that I ding my Dad's car after I dinged my Dad's car two months before - for which he has decided to rent a car (for which I have to pay, in addition to the car repairs) over the ten day period. Well, let me answer that not-so-rhetorical question for you: no no, resounding NO! Picture the scene: Saturday morning (11:30 to be precise), I'm panicking because I've booked buffet. Suuuuuurrre, the...

Third World Ant: Week 1 in the Peonda!
http://thirdworldant.blogspot.com/2007/09/week-1-in-peonda.html
The thoughts of a little ant on a big planet. Wednesday, September 05, 2007. Week 1 in the Peonda! So, here I am, writing to you from the dusty backwaters of Mpumalanga. The week was filled with frantic packing, frantic driving to and fro between Joburg and The Second (Secunda’s name is from Latin), frantic planning of my birthday/farewell party and frantic last-minute admin for the new job, my UK cabbage patch, ahem, property investment, my father’s business etc. Read #2 for more. 4 Rent is ridiculously...
