Hopefully, you enjoyed February as much as I did and are looking forward to March as much as I am. Please take a second to vote and let me know what you like most…, the music [...]

Weekend jam:
This evening, we had our Ex-Christians meet-up at my place but it wasn’t too long because three of us have the flu.
It went smooth. I did a short presentation, we talked a little, ate the snacks and everybody left. Thabiso asked me to accompany him to a big store after work [...]

I’ve been home all day today and got some good sleep. I drank a cup of my own homemade remedy last night and other than aches and pains, feel much better. I try not to take over the counter meds or all those prescriptions they give you when you go in to see a doctor. [...]

(First, about how I handle comments on this blog: Usually, not always, you get three chances to rag on me negatively then you’re toast . I don’t blog for money or to ‘make policy’. I’m not an activist, intellectual or anything like that. I just like to think out loud. I blog for fun, [...]

The birthday party was excellent. I got to see my mom’s people and filmed the recipe my aunt’s been holding all her life. And I didn’t get lost on my way. I woke up very early and arrived in less than 45 minutes.
My cousin’s husband G was there and he tried to pull me into [...]

The weather here is just atrocious and I have to go to a birthday party tomorrow. A distant relative on my mom’s side is throwing a party for her dad and just getting there is a headache. But they are family, and they are nice… and the food will be awesome. And anyway, there’s a [...]
People Just Want To Feel Comfortable (and, The Tanzanian Guy)

Last night, after a second date (with the Valentine’s Day guy), I came home and went into a mad cleaning frenzy. It’s amazing, the amount of junk one can accumulate. Which is saying a lot, because when people come to my home, they are usually taken aback by how spartan and clutter-free my place is. [...]

When and if you decide to move to a distant African country (or do anything out of the ordinary for that matter), one thing you can bet on having is a lot of people trying to dissuade and convince you that it will never work. That you are bound to fail, that you’ll be killed, [...]

So, my citizenship is finally finalized. I received the paperwork from the High Commission a few weeks ago. It was a long convoluted process but all in all, worth it and I am glad I had the courage to follow my dream.
Back when my [...]
