I feel high but not, sleepy but happy.
Who ever knew flowers could do so much, they really need to start putting that shit into food, woolworths food. Sales would soar, just imagine, a macaroni and cheese microwave meal with some flower called flyhighimmediatos. People would flock.
New business venture perhaps.
Anyway, had my whole weekend in the northern suburbs, felt more like the northern hemisphere. Really need to work on my afrikaaaaaans, it's horrible.
Most conversations went like this:
Elderly couple: Hoeveel is dit?
Me: Um...
EC: Dis produkt hier... hoeveel?
Me: Wat? Ek sorry is, ek nie speak afrikaans very wel nie.
EC: Is jy Italian?
Me: No, why?
EC: Jy klink soos 'n Italian. Is jy from England or Amerikaaaaaa?
Me: Seriously I was born and bred in Cape Town, I got the fucked up mind to prove it.
EC: We don't believe jou.
Me: I know right? Sometimes I can't believe it either.
EC: huh?
Me: I'm sorry I told you I don't speak Afrikaans very well.
- The small thing that made me smile today: Eavesdropping on a convo, and hearing all about the scandal going on with this lady's grandchildren. Pretty hectic, even I thought so.
