Lion King

Did you know:

The opening lyrics to The Circle of Life (yes, you all know it) are in Xhosa and mean "here comes the lion".  awesome.  Fun fact for everyone to enjoy - I know I did.

Had a great week of work doing Skillz Street stuff.  By Friday everyone was so dead though that we ended up getting kind of goofy in the office and started taking photo copies of people (like Will's face).  After work Ngwenya and I were supposed to have a game - my FIRST one! - so VIP and my housemates came to watch.  The field is literally right across the street from our office, but some mix-up occurred and there was a boys game so we didn't get to play.  :(

Jimmy's team won last night so we went out to celebrate and ended up seeing "South Africa's best DJ".  It was a really fun night and glow sticks were involved.

In other news: SA won their second match in the world cup, it's like 70 degrees out, and I ran 8.5k today.  Looking like a good weekend.
