Tolkien's NEW book
Hey to all the Tolkien fans (me included) just thought I inform you of the great new development...I for one can't wait to get my grubby hands on it...after LOTR I hope this is a hit...heres a snippet about events unfolding...
J.R.R. Tolkien Has a New Book Coming Out
Just because he's dead doesn't mean he doesn't have a new book coming out. A new, previously unpublished work by J.R.R. Tolkien will hit bookstores in April, 2007.
Houghton Mifflin has acquired U.S. rights to publish the first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien since the posthumous Silmarillion in 1977. HM bought American rights to The Children of Hürin from HarperCollins UK, which acquired the project from The Tolkien Estate in a world rights deal. Hürin, begun in 1918, was reconstructed by Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly editing together the complete work from his father’s many drafts, this book is the culmination of a 30-year endeavor by him to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s vast body of unpublished work to a wide audience. HM will publish Hürin in April 2007, on the same day as HarperCollins' international editions. Janet Silver, v-p and publisher of Houghton Mifflin, said, "As J.R.R. Tolkien's original American publisher, dating back to The Hobbit, we are extremely proudto be bringing thisproject to Tolkien's devoted readership in the United States."
Actually, we're quite happy that Christopher Tolkien is taking the time to ensure that all of his father's work is finally published.
Where I want to be....
Hmmm wouldn't it be just purrfect to be there rite now and all innocent and relaxed...mmmm
Cricket Bloody Cricket...
Chamara Silva dives for his crease but is run out by Herschelle Gibbs in a move reminiscent of Jonty RhodesUntil Malinga came in with some awesome bowling...all we needed was 4 runs i tell ya...just 4 but SA had to go and give people heart attacks, I don't get these guys. First Kallis goes then we drop 3 more wickets and there we all thinking we losing...hmmm I feel sorry for the tail enders. Imagine the pressure for them and what a dose of adrenaline they getting. The ultimate flying drug coursing through their veins. Even Polly couldn't watch the end. What amazing tension...
But what superb bowling by Malinga.
All credit goes to him, I mean we were definitely cruising to a win till he came back with a vengeance. O and not forgetting VAAS. And Langerveldt. They definitely made the cricket yesterday entertaining...Otherwise it was turning into the rest of this WC totally boring (minus the killing of Woolmer and the upset wins against India and Pakistan)...
All In all I'd say SA were damn lucky
My Mood Right Now....
Evanescence - Lithium
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Oh, but God, I want to let it go.
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone.
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.
Never wanted it to be so cold.
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.
I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Don't want to let it lay me down this time.
Drown my will to fly.
Here in the darkness I know myself.
Can't break free until I let it go.
Let me go.
Darling, I forgive you after all.
Anything is better than to be alone.
And in the end I guess I had to fall.
Always find my place among the ashes.
I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium,...stay in love with my sorrow.
I'm gonna let it go.

Concerning Love Letters...
So Juns, finally decided to accompany me to the Time of the Writer’, which incidentally is running in its 10th year (I’m sure many people can not believe that fact!). That and the Film festival at campus are my two favorite things to go for… yes people I like all this cultural intelligence…
So I’m guessing you all wondering why the title for this blog piece…
Well Juns, I had a feeling, was highly bored during the whole process, even though he emphatically states he was not. (You know when a guy is lying when he keeps telling you otherwise) But I let him continue to believe he was impressing me ;) lol Just joking Juns stop having a heart attack…we already know what you think about it you posted on your blog already…Though is it the message or the medium you wish to acknowledge ;)
Dudes relax I’m getting to my point here….
Juns…bored…whips out a pen…hmmm is this for some note taking…
No?!?!?!?
Grabs Zoë’s hand…like dude what are you thinking…please no kinky business in the middle of the theatre…
Hmmm is this the art of branding you wish to portray…yes people he wanted to brand Zoë’s lovely delicate hand…Quickly she snatches it back before the skillful artistic talent of Juns comes into being…
Zoë opens her bag whips out a tiny ‘purple’ (wonder what she thinking) notebook and hands it to Juns…the result…
well take a look below…
PS: Juns finally understands XOXOXOXOXO

Age...
does age really matter...
who says we have to make age matter?
how come society dictates that we should live by the age factor?
been having this conversation with a friend a few years younger then me and was wondering how is it that we are able to be such good friends pass the age barrier but as soon as we talk about a guy its inherent that I don't feel comfortable dating one younger than me. I know that the Prophet (SAW) was younger than Khadija (RA) but that still does not change the fact that i view life in this way.
Wedding Fun...
A1
Crash! Boom! Bang!Yah so I went to the A1 it was F&^$ing awesome...But that was me. I love cars and bikes...and the roar of those car downshifting from speeds of 220 to 100 to take the bend or making it through the chicane without blowing their undercarriage was amazing.
The sun though did kill me... i have permanent sunglasses at the moment but I don't care I'd do the same thing over again just to hear the roar of an A1 (next time hopefully F1) car. Not forgetting the super cars they had after the main race...totally yummy...think Lambos and lotuses, Porches and even an Aston martin...totally mind blowing...
