It’s official. Tickets were booked tonight.
Aisha, Ave, Berry & I will be doing this come February.
And by “this” I mean traveling all over Berry’s homeland (South Africa) and having what I can only imagine will be one hell of a memorable trip.


I was just “home” and it was gorgeous as ever! I’m glad you guys have a long time to plan the trip so you’ll get to see everything! (make reservations for Robben Island ASAP - last time I was in Cape Town it was sold out for 3 weeks….) I’m intensely jealous but excited for you too!

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Twelve people were killed and at least 31 were wounded when a soldier went on a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood U.S. Army base at Fort Hood Texas on Thursday, base commander Lieutenant-General Bob Cone said.

Cone told reporters at the base that the gunman was killed in the attack at the facility, the biggest military base in the world and a prime point of deployment for U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Two other soldiers were apprehended as suspects.

Cone said the shooting took place at a “Soldier Readiness Facility” where soldiers preparing for overseas deployment were getting last-minute medical checkups. The shooting took place at about 1:30 p.m. CST…………..

Absolutely tragic…I mean, I’m sure these soldiers and their families expect the worst when they are overseas on deployment, but for something like this to happen when they are AT HOME, is heartbreaking

I fucking love this commercial. I work with a woman that sounds just like the pothole and whenever she says “oh no” my day improves.

I saw this for the first time last night and legit laughed out loud, in my room, by myself. Also, potholes larger and deeper than that are a staple of South African HIGHWAYS…which makes for fun swervy wervy driving at high speeds…whilst driving in a right-hand-drive car, on the left side of the road. Wohoooo!

Perhaps it is due to my being exhausted/having a rough day, but is it just me or is the mom is this adorable video a total meanie? Her daughter is ADORABLE, the dad is playing along with the fish funeral, and the mom thinks it’s a huge joke.

Dear Mom: Your kid is cute, and she is mourning the loss of not one, but two fish. At least get their names straight, and stop laughing, you miserable woman.

My awesome roomie, Ben, got to go to Cali for Phish8 - Halloween music festival!
I was intensely jealous that he got to go, but he had a GREAT time and he sure as hell deserves it!
One of his mates took this awesome photo of him…seriously surreal :)
