EastCoast Radio photo The World Cup is already underway and I decided to run back to the continent in time. The African teams have not had a great start save for the Black Stars but I do believe Ivory Coast and Nigeria have good chances to bounce back. I am hoping by the time i head south for the semis and final which will find me in Johannesburg, an African team will be still present.

Ok…am freaking out All i see around me is all these up and coming fashion houses. its not like i expect to be the only one on the market, heck even Sylvia Awori isnt alone anymore….but i freak out, like completely want to tear up the sketches and go back to the board and try think up something else to do. Trouble is though, i dont have the littlest clue what i would do because Style and fashion, among other things,have and will always be my passion. My inspiration is Nkhensani Nkosi and her beautiful line Stoned Cherrie is just awesome. Reading about her and how she got started is what at first moved me to follow my heart (that plus that day at Sylvia Awori’s-no pun intended Sylvia but hey…) but now…..am starting to second guess my choice. Who in the world does that huh?? (insert screaming and arms everywhere in the air)

More Banyankore secrets getting out posted on June 16, 2010 - 9:53am
Three months ago we wrote and talked about Banyankore’s farting and sexual secrets (what was probably one of the best Studio Edirisa segments so far). But according to Agaba Osbert there is much more to uncover, from love potions to whistling. (more…)

Steps of the Dark Arts: The Evolution of Erotica posted on June 16, 2010 - 3:36am
Perhaps when I wake up abnormally, the first urge is to draw. There is certainly a correlation, it would seem. Yesterday, it was the call that gave me a bad case of interrupted sleep (“Somnia Abrupta”?), and I revenged with a picture of booby sans (booby) trap.
Blog Improvements posted on June 16, 2010 - 3:36am
Fixed a bug (that nobody seems to have hit, but me). And also, I’ve added search! Yay! And also, if you search, you can get an RSS feed for the thing you search for. So, you know, that you suffer no headaches with the entire RSS feed, when you want to follow only a few topics. (See, for example, “Breasts”; complete with an RSS feed that renders only breasts. Win!) Remember, I did it all for ? me. The software keeps evolving. —Precisely because it has a creator. Comments: 0
Untitled Breast Picture posted on June 16, 2010 - 3:36am
I wrote about cleavage last time, and then today I got inspired to draw this. (Actually, it was more about my attempt to outlast a headache I woke up with, but I have failed; I shall be going for a rest after here. When I’m awoken too suddenly, as by a phone call, my head hurts until I finish up my sleep quota.) All the same, here is an untitled work. (You should suggest titles!) I did this one with MyPaint, and I swear I’m about to replace all other drawing tools. This thing lets me work. It just gets out of my way and lets me paint as I want; providing support rather than government over my work. I like.

We know that, when you cite design in nature and yet fail to note that it is “not really design,” you sin against evolution and its fiercely-secular defenders-of-the-unfaith.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but when a piano R&B artist makes a song in reggae, the result is a huge, huge win. John Legend, with No Other Love. He put Estelle on it to throw her uncut-diamond type voice on it. It had fierce one drop drums on it; they are a best part of a best song. Alicia Keys, with Love is My Disease. The drums, again, and the base guitar. And the title sounds rather close to Ziggy’s Love is My Religion. Two artists: trend. Clown You know, children (don’t you), that it two is a trend, three is a gimmick. ;o) Comments: 0
Cleavage, Auto-antonyms, and Non-Contradiction posted on June 16, 2010 - 3:36am
Once, I used a sentence that had the word “cleave”, and a commenter said she liked the word. Now, of course, I too like the word “cleave,” because it is more-often than not a prelude to two breasts—“cleavage”—and what is there to hate about a pair of coy, and sexily-shy breasts? But “cleave,” unfortunately, means two things: to take apart, and to put together. It cleaves the girlbossom into two, and then one’s tongue cleaves to the roof of one’s mouth. Two opposite meanings, one word. Or, for that matter, “Dust that table” should mean “put dust on the table,” just as much as it should mean “beat the dust off that table.”
All I Do is Win posted on June 16, 2010 - 3:36am
Ludacris totally killed them on this one. And T-Pain, with his very innovative chorus. DJ Khaled, who shares a name with one of my kittens-of-fond-memory, also rocked. It generally doesn’t get much better than this. It’s just the middle of the year, and I already know the best song of the hip-hop category for the year. All I do is win, win, win, no matter what. Got money on ma mind, I can never get enough. And ev’ry time I step up in the buildin’, Ev’rybody hands go up. And ‘ey stay there, And ‘ey stay there, And ‘ey stay there. ‘Cause all I do is win, win, win. And if you goin’ in: Put yo’ hands in the air, And make ‘em stay there! Now let me throw these boys for another on the repeat. Maama, nnyabo. Comments: 1

One common way to signal one’s high intelligence is to pepper one’s talk with mentions of evolution (meaning neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory, not evolution generally-understood). Usually, one will say things like ”It is the result of us having evolved a brain that responds to screams by ?” Usually, those invocations of “evolution” are gratuitous, because the sentence makes just as much sense, indeed more sense, without the mention of evolution (Cf. “It is the result of us having a brain that responds to screams by ?”).

Dear Studio Edirisa, I keep hearing about this vuvuzela thing at the world cup, and how much noise it makes. But when I listen to radio broadcasts from South Africa, I hear nothing?! Aren’t they supposed to be so loud and make sounds like bees? Please explain. (Anonymous)

George Butler is a sketch artist on a six month journey through Central and West Africa. Here’s a bit about what he’s trying to do, from his first post on the London Times Travel Blog:
I can give the viewer more information than he or she would usually get with a photograph.
I’m now looking forward to putting all these skills to the test again in my most exciting and challenging project yet. I am travelling 8,500km overland from London to Libreville, the capital of Gabon in West Africa. It will take about six months and cover 12 African countries.

Frankie found us posted on June 15, 2010 - 9:07am

Frankie started talking a couple weeks ago about how he felt at the babies home. I wondered if he ever really would, being as he was barely two years old when he came out and had “only” been there nine months. He told me, in his stammering little baby voice, trying to find the words, “I was sitting there at the babies home and I was sad. Then I found mom and I found Ella.” Sniff. He found us, not the other way around, in his little baby brain!Sadness and them finding me seems to be the consistent theme in both of Ella and Frankie’s memories. Isn’t that sad? They were both just babies!Last week we went back to Nsambya Babies Home with Sarah, to turn in her application and to be her moral support as she starts the adoption/fostering process of one of the little children there. This is so good for both of my children to be a part of.

Congo Diaries, part 7 posted on June 15, 2010 - 7:58am

We have been traveling in Eastern Congo for almost a week, but without internet access, so all the posts have been piling up. Short version: flew to Bunia, drove to Nyankunde where a mission hospital is being resurrected, and then Epulu to see the famed Okapi Reserve. Back via Oicha and Beni.
