There are three major options for buying groceries: Pick n Pay, Spar, and Woolworths. I blindly opted for Pick n Pay. Before I left I kept telling people, yeah! It's ten rand to the dollar there! Everything is going to be so cheap! I mentioned a...

South Africa, in a bit. Monday, March 9, 2009. A blonde haired, blue eyed fantasy of the colonization of South Africa. I was immediately reminded of an exchange between Owen Wilson's and Bill Murray's characters from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Zissou: It's a documentary! It's all really happening! Ned: Well, then damn you for that. Now, before I begin an incredulous tirade, I'll ramble into a tangent:. Recall, the ghost in Hamlet. Charges his son, "Remember me"; Hamlet pleads to Horatio,. Histor...

Let the world change you, and you can change the world. Improved cookstoves to replace traditional inefficient stoves/methods of cooking. Or, better yet, affordable gas/electricity and a movement towards clean burning stoves and away from solid biofuels. Adequate funding for hospitals. ECG and Defibrillator requested (talk to either Tom Brenton or me if you’re interested in helping). Job opportunities for the unemployed and concurrent solutions to underemployment. Mandatory smog checks for all vehicles.

South Africa, in a bit. Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Fun With Zuma (On Display! Today is election day here in South Africa - a holiday of sorts. School is canceled and we had a day off from the show. In preparation for the election,. My friend Salome and I took the completed piece to the Wits School of Arts and hung it off of the second story cat walk. Its new resting place is directly above another art piece on the first floor whose subject is also Zuma. Salome inspecting our work. Wednesday, April 8, 2009.
