the idiot’s guide to saving a life.

Note the time right now.
Most of you know that I’m from South Africa, few of you know that I’ve had Malaria twice, so when i wondered into Nandos last night and spotted these babies I forked out my change without a second thought. This is such a rad idea and at just AU$4 a pop it’s something everyone can get behind.

Now according to United Against Malaria the disease claims a child every 30 seconds and causes nearly one million deaths every year. Africa is hit hardest, with 91% of all cases worldwide. Malaria is the numero uno killer of children under the age of 5 and buying one of these bracelets will help eliminate it, and stop 850,000 preventable malaria deaths each year in Africa. UAM’s aim is to ensure full coverage of malaria nets and medicines by 2010, and maximum reduction in malaria deaths by 2015 as a major step toward ultimately eradicating malaria.

Just to sweeten the deal more; these gnarly bracelets are handmade in Africa as an employment project for unemployed people, many of whom are HIV/AIDS survivors and caretakers of HIV/AIDS orphans. The proceeds from each sale go to supporting these people and to the Global Fund for malaria prevention. Hit up unitedagainstmalaria.org to find out more.
Note the time now, and remember that every 30 seconds a child dies from this disease. You giving up $4 of change can help fix that.

And yes, I know it’s been about 9 years since I last posted anything on here, but I’m back and fully intend on spamming on a regular basis.

one-man wolf pack.

“Hello. How ’bout that ride in? I guess that’s why they call it Sin City.

You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack… it grew by one. So there… there were two of us in the wolf pack… I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, “Wait a second, could it be?” And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!”

cannot stop laughing.

Darkwing Duck? Sounds like something I should try with eggroll.

So i’m sitting drinking green tea in my jimjams watching ducktales, one of the finest cartoons in my opinion. Lately i’ve been craving a little nostalgia, so i’ve been watching a lot of old xmen, ninja turtles and of course disney. i just ordered talespin and darkwing duck on dvd to add to the collection (my inner nerd child is getting spoilage), i remember playing talespin and darkwing on sega and nintendo in like grade 1 and 2. man, i was a nerd from the early days.

Anyway, today i finished a pair of shoes based on tekkonkinkreet, which if you haven’t seen, you need to. now. go.
Apologies in advance for the crummy photos, but actually finding my camera to take any decent photos requires energy i don’t have.

PS. Don’t go see year one. i paid $10 to fall asleep in a really uncomfortable chair.
