morituri te salutant…

Within a time span of about 1-2 days, these little creatures managed to eat the best part of the flowers on my balcony. I am not amused.

To emphasize the democratic character of the Internet, please feel free to drop in your comments on what I am supposed to with them now. I “saved” them in a jar and so far couldn’t settle on the most perfect manner of death.

UPDATE:

Just as much as I appreciate the wishes of the majority of comments on this matter so far – frying these little dudus in oil and thereby achieving a balanced diet – I actually “forgot” (hehe) to put holes in the jar. As a consequence of this, 3 out of 4 dudus commited collective suicide and No. 4 was saved the following day by removing the cover. To reward his (her?) courageous commitment to face any uncertain torture, I added a lettuce leaf into the jar and now, after another day, this is what I’ve found:

Nature is very mysterious, I think. Let’s wait and see what happens now…

Die Diktatur der Angepassten…

…so I was checking openBC, met some old friends with whom I had been doing the apprenticeship and realized that only those ones who later on went for studies of business administration at a university managed to upload their profile on openBC.

Scary, so scary…

the Chronicoool

Speaking of Dan and his artworks that inspired me and many others out there, I just had a quick stroll through his early journals and came across this:

The (Karengata) Chronicle / Nairobi, Saturday, October 12, 1985 / Price 3/50 (!)

An article by Nick Russel from 1985 – eternalised in Dan’s sketchbook.
Nick, editor & publisher of the Karen & Langata Chronicle since 21 years, recently commented on the Nairobi lowdown story and nowadays runs an online edition of the Chronicle.

@Nick: have you ever thought about installing a free blogging software such as the WordPress release on your webspace and maybe even joining the ever-growing Kenyan blogosphere?
The basic idea behind using a blogging tool is that it a) makes it easier to publish content on the internet, b) interact with your readers and c) you won’t need any IT guru in the background to fix the layout of your pages. Sijui about your webspace deals, but WordPress (as a start) is free of charge and just requires a MySQL database in the background. An alternative solution are the free, “ready-to-run” blogging services like wordpress.com or blogger.com as used by many other bloggers throughout the world. Another advantage is that you can easily switch the website’s layout by using (style) templates (again, free) or even adjust it to look like a newspaper (instead of a diary). This, I think, is easier to maintain and better than any pure content management system (cms) that otherwise requires lots of adjustments and technicooool knowledge. Hope this helps! :-)

With stories like these, there’s no need for any further entertainment….

EDIT: what exactly do I have to do to get an “All Areas Access Pass” for JKIA?

What really pisses me off about these two “brothers” is that with their studid russian mafia BlingBling attitude they just add to this typical conception a lot of ppl have in Kenya that Mzungu = Pesa — something which most of you know to be untrue.
Imagine what it feels like when you’re approached on a daily basis and asked for money just becos you are white. Prejudices? Sure…
