Groupon South Africa and their killer deals have given me a R230 sushi platter voucher for Tsuyo Japanese Restaurant to giveaway on indieBerries.  WOOHOO!!

How to enter:
Like the indieBerries Facebook page
and to keep up with other awesome Groupon deals you can like their facebook page too.

In my Korean-Sushi-dining experiences I have come across two very... ahem... "unique" additions that they like to add to their sushi... for a chance to win the R230 sushi voucher  - LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW telling me what you think these TWO "UNIQUE" ADDITIONS ARE.


(if more than one person guesses the correct ingredients I will do a draw)

Winner will be announced and contacted on Friday :)

Happy sushi day!

7 things

7 things that made me smile this week:

1. This conversation with a Korean 8 year old:
   Me: What did you have for lunch?
   Kid: Oh, it was just pretty and little simple.
   Me: mmm.. delicious.
2. Good friends that you can call on any time of the day or wee hours of the morning even if you're in your pyjamas. The kind that bring you coffee on rough days and wine on rougher days :)
3. The Emoji iPhone app smiley that looks a bit like this:

4. Modern Family
5. These pretty prints on Dictionary paper.
6. A good long treadmill pound-down. 
7. Remembering the good ol' days of Alf and having to auto-tune our South African TVs to the English station to be able to understand.

I am in the process of building the indieBerries.com website. I am new to the whole "let's make a website" thing. But the uber Mike - creator of Theme Barn - a site curating really stylish Wordpress themes - has been helping me with the process. Webthings are frustrating and...

The internet HATES me.
allow to me show you a series of screenshots of my current internet life:

Me: Ok, I've uploaded the files via FTP and now I've tried to instal Wordpress and i get this:



yip, that's right: random little "OK" just hanging out.

Mike: mmm....interesting... I've never seen that before.
Me: FIX IT! WHAT MUST I DO!? WHY DOES THE INTERNET HATE ME?!
Mike: Well technically it's agreeing with you.
Me:  HELP ME!!!! GAAAHH!!!!!
Mike: "OK!!"
Me: That's not very funny.
Mike: OK. OK. Try access it from the Wordpress end.
Me:

Me: IT WON'T LET ME!!! WHY IS IT TELLING ME THAT!?!!? I'm gonna KILL IT!!!
Mike: (so calm. {also, not on the same continent}) Ok, I've accessed the Wordpress stuff for you so import your files via Wordpress importer.
Me:

Me: ok, I just tried that and Wordpress is SUCH a LIAR! it is NOT "all done" Half of them FAILED.
Mike: It's ok, just click past it, I'm sure it will be fine.
Me:

not one little "OK" but a BAJILLION of them. All just creeping out.
oh.. good.

GGGAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.

You know you are some REAL kind of special when the you pray to the internet gods "PLEASE WORK! PLEASE WORK!" and then it actually replies.

so... I'm guessing that however this lovely little website turns out...
i'll just have to be OK with it :)
