Going to the Chapel and we're....gonna get married

No it ain't me

I never thought we'd be here this fast (or does this only seem fast to me..just yesterday Mr. Matu was giving us special attantion) but guess what...one of our classmates is now getting married.

Yes Cherry is getting married.

Woe unto those who won't be able to attend we'll take a camera with us.

But CONGRATULATIONS Cherry its not every day a person is able to find that someone who just fits and makes life that much more worthwhile.

XxX

with all due respect to the Office

It was only last night, that my cousin drew my attention to Kibaki's most recent description of the No (Orange) Team led by among other luminaries- Raila and Kalonzo. My conservative tongue, which would only use the derogatory term pumbafu (now commonly used in ordinary public parlance by H.E.) under my breath (and still have this unpleasant taste of defilement in my mouth) - was utterly astonished to learn that H.E. called his ever faithful cabinet members mavi ya kuku!

That such insults were not used in any of the schools that i attended, does not lend any credence whatsoever to the golf playing aristocrat that H.E. has previously portrayed of himself. It simply doesn't make sense. Perhaps behind this swanky proper demeanor that we besmurge upon ourselves or unconsiously bear (whichever the case), lies this uncanny and puzzling personality: how else would we describe his careless outbursts.

Anyway... the above notwithstanding, with all the respect due to the Office, the occupant should find a kindergarten teacher for some Polite Language 101, or stick to written speeches from the highly qualified head of the Presidential Press Unit. Failing which, he most probably will be the undoing of his campaign.

ps. the linked article is not referenced for the journalists views (which i don't subsribe to), but for his quotation of H.E.'s various crude slips of the tongue

Compelling movie!

I finally got to watch 'The Diary of a mad black woman' and boy!!!! was i
impressed!

I was totally carried away by the level of Tyler Perry's talent in music
writing (having written some of the music for the movie), his story
creation, and his multiple roles in the flick! I have mad respect for this
artist- most particularly because of his faith and the clarity of the
message in the 'diary' and given that this is his first movie. Astounding!

The intensity of the emotional scenes couldn't have been done any better-
and Steve Harris and Kimberly Elise... tsk tsk tsk.... perfect choice,
great quadruple of eyes and talent!

You can probably tell how smitten i was- had to watch the whole thing over
again wit commentary plus all the special features. The simplicity of the
story, as compassionately narrated and delicately yet so intensely
rendered transformed (in my case) what would have been jus another black
movie into a compelling and inspirational epic.

I am definitely watching Tyler's next flick!
