Hmmm, well I've been missing South Africa a lot of late, Cape Town really. Even though I know the weather is cool and rainy there right now and it's warm and sunny here, I just miss it. Luckily for me Afrofest is on in TO this weekend and it's free! I'm going to go check out some of the live music and great food (sadly, not free) and just soak up all the Africa vibes I can. I've also been asked to help out at a booth for Song for Africa at the Warped (Edgefest?) tour tomorrow night. Could be another good option to feel closer to l'Afrique.
In the meantime, I'm listening to Femi Kuti and going to my old work to get some free delicious roti! Can't wait.

Everybody Ona Move - La La La
Well yesterday was moving day. Finalement! Moving is pretty much one of my most hated activities. Packing stresses me out, organising the move stresses me out, apartment hunting makes me fed up, unpacking is probably the best of all moving tasks but then organising the new place equals yet again more stress. I don't have the right spacial capacity to see a great set up and we all know that you almost never go back and change it around later. In my new place, I've got to do some painting. This will be a bit of a pain because I've got my bedroom pretty much set up already. However, I won't be living in this place from 9th July to 10th August or something so I've got lots of time to get the painting done. It's a good thing I will elsewhere because I think the paint fumes would severely damage my remaining brain cells.
I'm feeling at home in this place already and am looking forward to exploring the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until I have a nap. Moving is exhausting, was tough on my knee and back and I somehow wound up with bruises all over my arms, a cut toe (dropped my bed on it) and a cut on my hand. I know, I'm a winner!
One last thing. If I put my mobile phone in the window and lean it against the screen, I get one bar of reception so give me a shout or better yet, send me an email if you want to get in touch. Owls and telegrams also welcome.
