and then some

And, …….. We’re back on air.

Me, at least. I’m really not sure about Himself!
Apologies for those that have been checking this fluctuating blog for updates. We really should try to make the posts more frequent!
On my part, I’ve been too lazy and tired to even type out a post in word. Every time, I plan to do it, it’s too much effort at that time. So it gets pushed to the next day and the next and the next, till I am overcome with guilt and also my rather subtle hints to This Musoga were not producing any desired effects! And doing the usual blog trot through all the ones I read, they are really doing the posting. I’m feeling a little left behind, so I’m trying to catch up.

What I’ve been up to

I’m planning to do the three day raft trip, probably in August this year, with Max and Naphlim maybe, if they can behave themselves.
Hopefully, This Musoga will be back in his territory and they’ll be one person less who’s fears I’ll have to allay!! But again seeing the snake in the water, which I didn’t see, I don’t think I’ll be swimming in the river again!

So far, the first weeks of my unemployment have been rather slow in passing. They’ve been mainly filled with Crossword puzzles, Sudoku and more recently the ante has been up- ed, I’m doing kyeyo at my dad’s consultancy. Doing a few things here and there, boosting my organizational skills.
It really doesn’t help that I’m in close quarters with two bookshops and my habits with books are back in full swing. I’ve already spent my allowance on two books which I’m reading concurrently and immensely enjoying the jolts!! The Messianic Legacy and The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail, both which were written by the controversial trio Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln.
Plus, I’m re- reading one of my favourite books- John Steinbeck’s masterpiece, The Grapes Of Wrath. I’ve read this countless times and it still holds my attention!
What these books have managed to achieve is, wean me off telly completely. Not that telly was not entertaining, the Mobutu documentary was good and now that Al Jazeera’s coming to us, there’s the odd scope to look out for! Idols was rather disappointing, I did not root for the winner and felt sorry for Jeroline, too much drama!! C & I is still top- notch. Disappointingly, Tyra Banks’ pity- party is still on! Ellen and Justin Timberlake rocked, rocked and rocked! Instead, there are interesting pages full of facts, history and conspiracy theories to spend my time on. Puli must be thanking the Man up there for putting me near books!

On my home from university when I’d finished, I told my dad emphatically that I was taking a huge break from school. More like a year. Unfortunately, I’l be back in the land of homework, moody lecturers and deadlines starting this weekend, to get certified. The only thing to be thankful about is that I’ll be doing it in town. The downside, I’ll be in class from 9am- 4pm, Saturday and Sunday. It’s hard making choices.
Suprisingly, I’m looking forward to the classes.

Meanwhile, in my lifetime, I’d never seen a Ugandan passenger train. On Saturday, I saw it chugging along from a vantage point at home. Gosh, I was happy!
My bet that Uganda would lose 1-0 was so wrong. Congs to the Cranes but we’ve a few more matches before we can relax that we’re in! So now I’ve to work on my faith in Ugandan Sports, be nationalistic, is it?!

So I’ll leave it here for now.
Maybe, next time, I’ll include the wacky things my class has been up to.

Ta’rar!
