Self portraits on Kloof – UPDATE

Wow, so another week gone by, which means a) Ann’s birthday is now next week; b) My birthday is now the week after; c) the 3 essays plus test week is now also the week after and d) exams and my 21st are now the week after that. So basically, life is about to go crazy. Starting now. Whoop whoop!

Had a wonderful day out with Chel and Annie today, we went to the Labia to watch The curious case of Benjamin Button, it was a beautiful movie, sad, but ultimately an enchanting movie with a beautifully attractive style of cinematography. The movie essentially revolves around the diary of Benjamin Button and it made me somewhat regretful of my futile attempts at recording the moments which have made up my life. All the big moments which, all the small simple fragments of time with incidents that I loved and treasured. I suppose part of the reason why photography is so important to me is that I know it’s the only way, and my best way, of capturing all those moments that I want to remember, however small and mundane they may be. Anyway, I haven’t seen a movie with Ann and Chel since forever pretty much, and I hope it happens more frequently in the future (*cough cough* yes, that’s you two who’re reading this now, er, HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE). In our own, special and typical fashion, we decided to run around aimlessly (okay, it initially had an aim, but that soon fell away) and take photos of ourselves while looking cute. Okay, maybe that’s just typical James fashion [certainly the looking cuuuute part ;p] but it was still great fun :) Dropped Chel at home afterwards and I stayed at Ann’s for a bit because I wanted to visit Ariane, but I knew she was having supper with Caitlin’s mom, so I had to wait it out… (see all the effort I made Narny!).

I eventually arrived at Ariane’s, and was greeted at the door by my darling sweetheart, with wine in hand. It seems that she’s become a bit of a wine enthusiast (and this is not yet a euphemism, but it may well be in three weeks time ;)). After some dining table chitchat, we decided to migrate to Ariane’s room because Zoe was feeling ill and we felt that squeezing onto Ariane’s bed was just what was going to make her feel better. So while she “chilled”, Ariane studied, and I studied Ariane’s shoulders. It was a great arrangement for everyone :) Anyway, after a debate about food, Ariane’s mommy bought me some pasta (awwwww) and it was wonderfully delicious. Sadly, by this point Zoe was suitable hazardous, so we made her a bed, brought in the tissues and prayed like mad that those Mexican pigs Zoe was talking about was actually a joke, and not the real thing (but if this blog doesn’t get updated in the next week, you know what happened…).

And that, dear friends, is my tale of the day.

p.s. thank you for the incremental increases in blog hits. x

UPDATE: Totally forgot to mention this, and it is absolutely crucial that everyone knows that we went to Sinnfull AND that Annie bought two gorgeous dresses AND that Chellie bought a stunning top!
