the trees look like broccoli

The trees really do look like broccoli. Long stems with branches only at the very top. They're great.

Today I got my ear pierced at a place called Wild Fire off Long Street with my friend Leah. It was the best outing. We drank Margaritas afterwards. We went to different shops. We found the best place on Kloof St called the Wellness Warehouse. I could live there. There is all sorts of healthy food, plus books, vitamins, Tempurpedic stuff. It was fabulous.

The great thing about good to the neighborhood around Kloof and Long St is not only that it's the best neighborhood for food and shopping, but the Jammie Shuttle goes there! Never a dull moment with the Jammie. We only had to wait for about 10 minutes, but as we were merging on the N2 a barrel of some sort got stuck on the Jammie. We stood for about 10 mintues (miraculous) with all the cool artsy and theater kids from Hiddingh Campus. It was pandemonium. I love the cool kids. They created a ficticious news cast about the Jammie Incident on the spot. It was an entertaining wait. I love free transportation, and UCT.

Today I rocked a presentation about how gender shapes and constructs histories. Thanks to my liberal education and numerous hours spent at the WU and with Advocates I blew them and patriarchy out of the water! Thanks, Pomona!

Love, Katy

p.s. I finally have forged the instant coffee frontier after 2 months of battling against it. I found that mixing in sweetened hot chocolate makes it all the better.
