I finished another mega project today and have a week to unwind… My goodness, this profession is something…
I’ve been working like an automaton for days…

When I last blogged, I said I’d be back full-time this week, but alas…
But anyway, here I am again.

I really enjoyed our last mega-discussion here and many of you [...]

Well I had a wonderful weekend and thoroughly enjoyed my brother’s company.
He arrived Friday evening and took a cab to the house because he didn’t want me “wasting time” driving to the airport to pick him up. He’d told me he’d get here at [...]

At work today, Mr. Belgium and I locked the door and spent the entire morning and afternoon watching the Michael Jackson funeral live and then again.
And that’s what Thabiso and I did tonight too, and everybody kept calling one another… just to talk about it. So much love was at the Staples Center…
I guess despite [...]

So good people, I hope you’re happy wherever you are.
One:
My plants and fish are alive and well. Mister Thabiso got a high-five for taking care of them in my absence. He even bought some new plants for the fish tank while I was away and brought back shells from [...]

Another slow day at work…
Mr. Belgium flew away last night, on his yearly Ibiza trip. I hope he has lots of fun. He goes every year and just loses it for three weeks. He said he’d bring me back a t-shirt and music. I’m not into House music but hey…
When he gets back, I’ll be [...]

(Our jam. Sensual…)
These past three weeks have been a marathon and though I’ve blogged somewhat consistently, I’ve felt out-of-sorts and somewhat detached from the experience.

A couple of days ago, I blogged about my experiences traveling in Nicaragua and meeting the Liberian stowaway who married a Garifuna lady there. I thought I’d follow it up with something on the Garifunas.
This is a shout-out post to miss poet, Felene Cayetano in Belize, Centroamérica. Please check her website and read all about the Garifuna and [...]
