My Vanilla Sky Coke Float

Summer is approaching. Its timely, since last week - I am crazy over Coke Floats. So curious, I tried making it at home. The first take: a ginger ale + vanilla ice cream - It was a mess (doesn't taste good either) The second try: Pepsi + vanilla ice cream + ice (a tip from my best man, for bouyancy purposes) it did work. And with a little help from google - put the cola slowly to avoid bubble overflow. Now, I'm enjoying my kind of float. Next time, I'm gonna try: Milk Stout Beer and Vanilla ice cream. I will let you know if the mix is quite right. %-)

Sushi and the banshees

I have tried making a sushi last saturday night. I was, experimenting, by the way. Fashion sandwiches and makis. It turned out to be a jumbo maki, (papa maki) hehe! And the uramakis (inside out) fashion sandwiches, i have made, were not that fashionable. But in the end, it tastes great. The sunday visitors, took all my left over sushi creations today. I think they liked it.

Ingredients: crab sticks, avocado, tangy mayonaise, sesame seed, roasted sea weed

for the Japanese rice: 1/2 of glass put rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon: brown sugar

perfect partners: pickled ginger
soy sauce with wasabe
and ginger ale drink :-)

At Tassenburg Close

July was a busy month. We've finally found a new place to stay. Its 10 minutes a way from work. With 24/7 security access. I could sleep peacefully at night. Its also close to East rand Mall. My elder brother also moved to this place. The atmosphere and tranquility is very inviting, absolute and refreshing. This is Tassenburg Close. Home is where the heart is...

Sweet and tender Yahooligans'

The year 2010 have diminished some of the best YM Messenger clients on mobile phones. YM TINY doesn't work anymore. YAMEE wasn't that yummy anymore. Here's what I've been using on my phone right now.

1. Nefanasa Yahoo - still reliable and able to connect these days. With lots of emoticons and font settings are changeable. I used nefanasa a lot at work, to chat with my mom, my bro, my wife and my friends. It gets me through the day.

2. IM built in - this is the ym client found on my phone. Built in with my nokia. Advantages: you can multi task, without exiting yahoo. You can use Opera mini. Play music while doing google. You could go to your inbox. Create, check and send Sms as well. Make phone calls, access your address book too. Disadvantages: connection not stable. Some yahoo users appear offline. You might not even get some of the offline messages. Its costly a bit. This built in IM also consumes more battery life.

Iron Man 2

Having bad reviews on other blog sites. I decided to watch this film, with my wife (as a treat for mother's day) I think the movie was great. From start to finish. I simply don't understand,why they said, the movie was better off in a scrapyard. Maybe, clash of the titans will go to my recycle bin. But Iron Man 2 is the kind of film i would copy and paste in my documents folder. With bonus, war machine in my desktop, and black widow screensaver. Hahaha! The suitcase scenario where tony stark want to change into iron man - is my favourite. War machine is trigger happy. Mickey rourke, delivers an evil performance. While nick fury turned out to be a nigger? I think, he was a white guy, in my animated spiderman series. Tony stark have upgraded his suit in this movie. Replacing the circle, with a much better and powerful logo - a triangle in his chest piece. Like a vicks vapor candy. Man, i missed that sweet. Hehe!
3/5

Quarantine

This is a great horrific film. I saw it last night. I was alone in my room. My wife's out on a birthday party (sort of.. Who cares¿) i don't wanna go there anyway. So i just chilled out and put this dvd in my new hp laptop. Quarantine is simply a sci fi. Zombie like movie with a twist. A crossover of Dawn of the dead and paranormal activity. Great acting, nice casts, unique plot and filled with creepy moments. Yes, the last part was very creepy to me. It made me jump a bit in my bed, hehe! There was a thin ugly old man looking for his medication or something, and at the attic - some kind of alien zombie test tube baby, i don't know wtf it is. But somehow all of this, put a chill to my bones. This dvd is worth the rent.
