Did you know that potato "was first "borrowed" by the guar, who used the word patata to describe the root crop Ipomoea batatas"... Well I didn't!
Anyway, I had my first potato waffles this evening and boyohboy were they great! I couldn't believe how tasty they were. I suppose the health factor is not so high, but damn! I really enjoyed them.
Anyway, that is about the most excitment of my day, so you can imagine how the rest of my day was!!! Cheers

Priorities, Todo Lists, and the end of eras
I can tell you tell you now...
They always catch you out, although you always try to plan for them.
I was telling Tiff and Graeme that it was less than a year ago that we were having a house-warming at their house after they moved to England, and wasn't it weird how different the situation was then: with Tiff being unemployed, Graeme and Lauren recently having started a new job, Simon the boss and Jof only stopping by for the weekend, working in Denmark and not particularly enjoying being surrounded by people who don't believe he is from SA.
Surreal... for that night, last friday, we were again at Tiff and Graemes house. Yet this time, Tiff and Graeme had the kiefest jobs, and they were the bosses. Simon was the couch-surfer from Aus, just on a stop-over between Aus and SA. Lauren had moved on from being an employee, to a pre-Aus-i-dont-know-gold-plated-friend-of-some-sort?!?..., and Jof was now quite stoked with the Danish, good job and working hard, but wondering about life and where to go forth.
And at that instant.
Jof left.
He ended the era.
a decicive knife blade through my comfort zone of partying fun and craziness. Severing the South African embilical cord of I don't know what... I suppose semi-bachelorness... not that I am single, but I have often felt alone here, and I didn't have anyone close by, so I am sortof alone, but not. I don't think there is a English word for that, and it was pretty hectic. I was affected. I think everyone was. It was the end of an era.
I hope we all saw that. It is amazing how fast things move. I feel like we just get a glimpse of reality, not just our reality, the WHOLE reality. Moments of change where everything is moving so rapidly, you can not see what is happening around you - but the bigger picture reveals itself in a fuzzy, but visual way. I think I might be rambling now, but oh well!
Oh yes: you are probably wondering how priorites and todo lists came into the heading.
I have so many todo lists, I don;t know where to start... House cleaning list, Washing list, EWB list, IEEE SB list, IBM UBC list, Personal List, TAC list, Ewan List, Jim List, Gym list, Where the hell do you start! Where do my priorities lie, it was a week ago when I wrote this, and I have no idea now, what I should be doing right now!
Oh well... Gotta do other things...
