My two-hour workout April 28, 2009

6.30: Wake up. Glance at alarm clock. Decide whether or not I really need that workout.
6.40: Drag myself out of bed. Throw on Muslim swimsuit, tights, and white, oversized branded t-shirt.
6.45: Go to rooftop pool. Discover that is, literally, a rooftop pool. Spend ten minutes zoobing at the view. I can see the ocean, and [...]

Thou shalt not. Really. April 28, 2009

I get amused when people tag me. Seeing as I’m the Queen of TMI [I am working hard to relinquish my Queendom of technobofia], I can’t think what anyone would want to know that I haven’t already told them.
So. For Mo. 10 true things about myself. I’m at a point where I’m [...]

Ken Lee, Edition 255 April 27, 2009

The title probably makes no sense to anyone except this one, this one, and possibly this one. I tried to find a link to explain it, but the search button jammed. Sorry. But it’s got something to do with Pop idols, South America, and Mariah Carey.
I’m in a workshop this week, working with [...]

How to alienate your child…for about thirty minutes April 14, 2009

If there’s one thing I loved in my cousins, it was their street smarts. They may not know what PS 3 [or it’s 80s equivalent] is, but they could climb a certain thorn tree, harvest its berries, and make the amazingest purple juice with nothing but sticks and a measuring jug. I never admired them [...]

Hi, I’m CB, and I’m a tweetaholic April 8, 2009

So today, a new followee asked a question that a lot of people are too polite to ask [except for my pal Z, the only chick I know who’s more brazen than me! Bow down!!]
‘What’s with the name?’
When I first started blogging, I did like three posts explaining the name. But as I have this [...]

What makes us Kenyan? April 8, 2009

This question is asked so many times by so many people in so many ways. I could go philosophical and talk about the love of the flag and the [not] knowing the words to the National Anthem…and by the way…I just realized that’s very Kenyan too. I was trying to teach princess the words, with [...]

Growing down April 3, 2009

I was looking through my facebook this morning, and I had an interesting thought. It’s not a fresh thought, just an interesting one.
When I first heard of FB, I didn’t pay much attention. I’m not much good at networking, so doing it online could only be a very, very bad idea. So I ignored about [...]

Crying April 1, 2009

i lost my friend today
and i don’t know how to get him back;
i lost my innocence today
impaled on a shaft of brutal ‘truth’.
they say truth is relative,
and relative is never free;
in all relative truth,
it’s better to give than to receive.
‘honesty’ breeds freedom
in the heart of him that gives it;
its blade untangles chains of lies
unwinds webs [...]
