With my newfound discovery of Grooveshark, and with all things shiny and novel, I've made another Mixtape.
It's a mish-mash of all the music I grew up listening to, and in a Black Label-soaked instant can whip me back to the Thrashers days with people who have probably gotten married, immigrated or passed away even.
To the rest of you I'm still in contact with: thanks for all the good times.
Those of you who have traded in your sleeveless band shirts for neck ties (growing up shmowing up), have a little listen at work and take a skank with me down memory lane. In theory at least.

Sowing Music
So wow, this was AGES ago. lil' bow (that's me) was fortunate enough to DJ at Sowing the Seeds earlier on in the year - it was an amazing festival and a warm up event for Rocking the Daisies (which is taking place this October in Cape Town).
This was my first big DJ experience and I had so much fun! Why have I decided to flog the horse of history? Well, because I've finally figured out how to make Mixtapes to share the songs I love/DJ.
Today I discovered Grooveshark and oh lawdy, it has made me happy!
I've been looking for an application like this for months, one that is easy to use for someone technologically-impaired like me, but also quenches my basic need: playlist sharing.
So without further ado, my Sowing the Seeds Mixtape.
This will be the first of many. Enjoy...

Don't get blogged down.
Because I have.
Everywhere I turn, there is someone trying to belt out their new blog. And the ones people take notice of are the blogs that are updated constantly. Prolific people I tell ya. It takes dedication. And possibly a day job that really does end at 5-sharp. Have I seen a lot of fantastic blogs lately? Yes. Have I felt intimidated? Yes.
It's no wonder I'm the Internet's next blogger sensation (she says while skirting her eyes away from her last blog post, dated MONTHS ago. Skirting eyes now roll).
I guess this is an apology.
To make up for my silence, here's a toy I've been playing with lots and lots and, despite being an only-child, am willing to share.
Not all of us have PhotoShop or know how to use it. So for rookies like me, Pixlr is a flippin' great, FREE picture editing toy to have. You can do things like this:
Take an existing photo...
And spruce it up (or down even)...
