My st 8 Afrikaans-juffrou het gesê ek moet eerder nie tale gaan swot nie. Die uitdrukking op haar gesig het beteken ek sal dit nie maak nie.
My st 8 Engels-juffrou het gesê ek moet asseblief ’n getekende kopie van my eerste boek vir haar bring. Ek dink ek glo eerder my Engels-juffrou.
AfrikaBurn 101
2013-05-13 AfrikaBurn has certainly earned a reputation. Journalists, friends and foes either love it or hate it. On the one hand it is seen as a drug-infused Sodom and Gomorrah, on the other hand as a life-altering liberation movement. It is both and it is neither.
Fanie Fourie’s Lobola is an awesome South African flick
2013-02-12 "By saying Fanie Fourie’s Lobola is an awesome South African flick I do not mean compared with other South African films, or lekker for a local flick. Oh, no, I mean FFL is a world-class film with a strong South African flavour."
Klein Karoo kry meer reg as verkeerd
2013-02-04 "Dankie tog! Klein Karoo breek weg van die standaard rom-kom se boodskap dat jy alles moet prysgee vir liefde."
Django – a very romantic flick
2013-02-04 "The only surprise element is the romance. Even though Django gets as down and dirty as the 'baddies' he is doing it for loooove. Ahhh."
LeE HARVeY OsMOND – The Folk Sinner
2013-02-04 "The differences are subtle. I had to listen to the album a few times to pick them up. The already full sound on the first album is even moodier now, more epic, more layered and slightly more heartbroken."
Top 12 2012: Films of 2012
2012-12-13 "Once it was compiled I realised that almost all of them transcended their genre ..."
Skyfall – possibly the best Bond film ever
2012-12-11 "Skyfall is a hell of a ride. The action is non-stop, but clever, inventive and totally funny at times."
Pretville –’n Lang lawwe musiekvideo
2012-12-10Ek verstaan die film is veronderstel om lig (en laf) te wees en dat dit nie ernstig opgeneem moet word nie. Tog kan ligte vermaak meer diepte, meer kompleksiteit en ’n baie meer komplekse storielyn hê.
Safety Not Guaranteed – wonderfully trippy
2012-12-10 "It is quirky without getting Zooey-Deschanel-type-ditzy and becoming all about the weirdness. It keeps its humanity intact all along."
Lady Gaga – the experience
2012-12-10 "The 65 000 strong crowd was mixed – from 7 to 70 years old, rich to poor, very gay, very cosmopolitan, with a couple of mandatory crazies thrown in."
Rihanna – Unapologetic
2012-12-05 "I wouldn’t say I could quite listen to a whole album at a time, but if you put all the hits together you would come up with one extended rather listenable album."
Lana Del Rey, Born to Die – The Paradise Edition
2012-12-03 "The build-up to the release of her debut album was immense as a result. She was touted as the next best thing, the hottest indie star, a saviour, blah, blah, blah."
Lady Gaga and Die Antwoord: What have they done for humanity
2012-10-25 "Let’s look at what they’ve done for humanity. Sure, there will be self-promotion involved in all humanitarian projects, but good work still gets done."
Bernie – constructively weird
2012-10-22 "Bernie was born to be a funeral director. In fact, he was seen as a bit of a legend."
