my specs and I. . .

WARNING: This is a daft one :-)

. . . you know how sometimes, u've misplaced something at the moment you need it the most and u can't seem to find it. so thats me and my specs every morning..(they should make ones which u can call or something)
So it got me thinking about the adventures I have had with my pair of spectacles. . . So here are the adventures of my specs and I . .

It was a breezy evening, I was feeling over zealous about taking the city life, especially in the evening. So I called up a friend so I had someone to chat with while I do this, went over to Basiliica and positioned myself to take pix of ummm the Nairobi financially procured female companion, well here is the image of what I got

Then all hell broke loose, she found out I was photographing her, I got pinned to the wall by her and her colleagues. One of them took my specs and put it in her handbag, I thought I won't see them again. After being rescued by the flying squad I finally got them back, they said they would use them as exhibit when they are booking me in in the cell.

On a separate day, was on my way home, I was busy texting, took a shortcut through an alley. Had noticed a group of young men who had used the same route as well, I had done only ten steps inside and snap. .  . they pounced on me, trying to mug me. Well thats how I lost my phone Cindy :(, we had great times sob sob. .
So after the scuffle running off screaming like a gal. .  .
I realised things were looking a bit hazy and realised had lost my spectacles, so went back to the alley, and I found them on the ground, as if I had just put them down there. . .

Another time I was on some river on aka boat, then decided to feed some ducks that were swimming by. As I leant forward the specs fell into the water. I let out a shriek!, I was sure now they were gone, some fisherman gave me his net, for me to try and fish them out. I did that like for a while, and just when I was giving up, I saw them hanging on the side of the net . . . I might have shed a tear at the reunion.

 .. . and the adventures continue

So its my specs and I, till eyes do us part :-)

of local content. . .

So I was a bit bored and decided why not find solace in some TV. After several minutes of sifting through the mexican jibberish that all channels seem to have picked up nowadays, as if that is not enough, there is even stuff ya bollywood . . .what the hell?!

During the day, you would be forgiven to think you have tele ported to Nigeria!! I mean it's great that Nigeria is doing this well but What the fish happened to having our own local content??

So decided to analyse a few of the 'local' content . .  the one that seems to spring to mind a lot . .(and for the wrong reasons) Changing times WTF!

Firstly the airbrushing or whatever it is, is over the top, who looks like that? I mean it looses the taste of reality and as such I find, as the audience am lost or end up not following the story but watching  it for ridicule. The other day I was in a mat, so I saw this chic that I thought I knew,  so there I was waving away, I got a nice blank stare look then that click thingy(NKT- I swear could hear it through the glass) followed by the eyes rolling! It later dawned on me, it was one of the cast of CHANGING TIMES, now if they hadn't overdone the airbrushing they would have saved me the embarrassment!!

Secondly, the dialogues!! who talks like that, I have beef when people go all twenging and they are not pulling it right.  . .  plus the dialogues lack that reality, in any movie its more realistic when the dialogues feel real, (don't make it obvious its a script) these ones really don't, particularly that long fella, am sure he doesn't talk like that in real life! (there is toooooooo much emphasis in his words that the meaning is lost)


In its favour, the lighting is well done, for majority of the scenes and the use of shallow depth of field, gives for an interesting look.

Conclusion, This series is too much babyness (unrealistic upper class representation), could do with more realistic acting(and not over acting) . .. finally I feel it lacks the representation of the everyday people.

Wanted ...the Review

....so it was one evening just from Jobo..i was rather excited because i had gotten the DVD for the new film Wanted..so went home when there is still natural light which is very unusual.. am sure the day watchman was abt to ask whom i want to see..

.. so anyways i start the movie and Angelina is there oooh of course i couldn't drool too much since madam was around .. the movie starts slowly and ok..then there is the part they shoot the wings of a fly...hmmm i tell myself i can take that lie ..kumbe the director is just warming up.. then this part i like.. a guy curves bullet when shooting, very true in theory..if the bullet was being thrown at the speed of a stone!! so nikavumilia and carried on, mara there are cars flying on the highway, heh huyu director ana mchezo pia ati there is a part some guy is blocking bullets with knives..now i have seen a lot of knives hata ile knife ya my local butcher who only sees me once a month for my ka quarter.. i don't picture it blocking any bullets..but i soldier on..then there was this part the main xter curves a bullet and the other guy does the same and the bullets meet midway and collide.. i suddenly get flashback of the old indian movies that used to come on KBC them days..they would go something like..Je shiri Ram.. (yeah i was a fan) The arrows would meet midway collide have some interesting colors and the stronger one would finish the other... so back to the movie. Even this Director fella i think he got carried away..kumbe there is more..

Sasa the creme de la Creme was the last part where angelina curves a bullet that in turns kills guys standing in a circle killing each of them and finally the person who shot it.. i mean..hee i think i need a word with the director of this movie... now if i had gone to the movies i think i would come out tearing not that the movie moved me but the amount spent would have promoted my local butcher.. unajua hizo ni quarter ngapi...this movie i place in the same category with XXX 2 which had its fair share of lies... next review will be XXX2

Masomo ...reloaded

Ah well so after a good two years of basking around and trying to look busy at work i decide its time i opened them books a fresh... So my first day in class.. i had forgotten how those look.. it had been a while.. heh..

Now of course the Kenyan in me always shows up 10 minutes late.. so there i was holding a yellow folder and a map.. then i get to the notice board the lecture hall is in RF8 and i think to myself ...what the heck is RF8, so at this point i get an idea i should suggest to the lecturers they stand out of the doors and call out their class just as in matatus... that wouldn't be too bad... hmmm maybe i will drop it into the suggestion box..

...so once in the lecturer was busy blabbering stuff that i knew jack about.. so thinking it is a shared feeling i turn to my fellow students to expect a blank look only to be suprised to see half the class answer with such enthusiasm... at this point i get a sudden chill down my spine probably i entered into a lectures briefing...maybe this was the staff room..i check my timetable to see and to my dissapointment am in the right class..Ngai! i think to myself...my oldman hass just thrown a whole Prado into the ocean.. Excuse me!...(my daydream is interrupted).. "What are your thoughts on the Kuleshow theory,Sir!" I look up smile and say... NO ANGLAIS! [no english] That got
me off the hook..

So the lecturer tells us next we will be viewing a movie termed as 'experimental films' Undalou or something like that.. so it starts off and this when i realize there are a lot of disturbed people out there... and probably i should have done psychology to help these disturbed guys.. after theh class my fellow classmates are rather excited abt the whole episode and the movies saying they are very artistic...now how is chopping one's eye out artistic??.. at this point i think the whole class needs some proffessional help.. they need to talk to someone. So am considering counselling them at a later date..

Anyway after class i head home and my folks are rather excited how was ur first day in class... hmmm what would you say....
