since i am going to bombard the blogosphere with posts about the most awesome kleinmond weekend, i might as well do arcadia's quiz and reveal facts about me i would rather have kept quiet (actually i'm just looking for excuses not to study...)

1.Three Best films you’ve recently watched
Havn't watched as many films as i would have liked. transamerica was the last one i've watched. it was pretty good. not any other movies come to mind just now.

2. Three favourite songs at the moment
after a sonic diet of dylan, cohen and ingrid jonker, sung by chris chameleon, i had to revert to modern rock the last three weeks, for my sanity's sake.
'be yourself' by audioslave - the title says it all, and chris cornell's voice, morello's weird guitar solo: magic.
'resolve' by the foo fighters - resolve was what i needed last week, the foo's delivered.
'tuna in the brine' by silverchair - have no idea what they're going on about, but the song is hypnotic. its in waltz time or something. very weird, very cool.

3. Favourite dessert
the klein-karoo. oh, you meant poeding? my mum's malvapoeding: the best in the world.

4. Your favourite two physical attributes a) of yourself b) of a partner
a) of myself? you must be kidding... b) dont have a partner, but i like eyes, and something that sounds a lot like it, if you pronounce it the american way...

5. The ultimate unforgiveable act in your book is
i'm all for forgiveness and suchlike shit.

6. If someone had to dress up as you , what would you give them to wear?
my favourite grey jersey, jeans, black boots, my well-worn denim jacket, and sunglasses. oh, undies too.

7. Three favourite magazines
strangely enough, as a journalist in training, no local mags interest me. when i do have some cash lying around, uncut, mojo and dazed and confused are cool. they're british mags, would you believe.

8. A newly acquired bad habit
haven't acquired any new bad habits lately (that i now of). however, i tend to overindulge in my old vices lately. more than a pack of cigarettes a day, insane amounts of coffee, and i perfected the art of procrastination after years of practice.

9. Dream house, described in a few sentences
a loft in the mother city, view of table mountain on the one side, view of table bay on the other. with a balcony (so i can smoke outside, even if its raining).

10. You take five people to a deserted island.....who are they? (and does each one have a purpose or not?)

Minister of Safety and Security Charles Ncqakula, with AJ Venter, Schalk Burger, Corne Krige and Bakkies Botha. They'll moer him every halve an hour, and if he doesn't like it, he could always leave. not.

After a sonic diet of dylan + cohen, all you need is more dylan. I hope now that you've had a break you are back to your old tunes.

Nice one Jan, but I am wondering why it has to be Krige, Venter, Burger and Botha. What Ncqukula(sic) said pisses us all not only Afrikaaners. It could have been much better if some Sitholo of Kayamandi or Paulse of Cloetesville could join those 'manne'or may I say trusted bullies, because realy he lives with crime every day of his life.For next time when you think South Africa,take into cognisance its demography.
