EFF ‘EM SUNDAY

After reading one of my favorite blogger’s posts on how stupid some commenters can get, I was well advised to do some therapeutic venting of my own. This is fashioned after Slim’s own Eff ‘Em Fridays. Yes, I know it’s Sunday and hence the unfortunate lack of alliteration. But it’s my blog. sighs in satisfaction […]

Today’s random thoughts

I lived in Ethiopia for 7 years. When I came back to Kenya, I used to talk about Ethiopia but no one used to believe me. This puzzled me on various levels.
