Today on Jetstreaker, in a post entitled, Fascinating Flashes, the Out and Proud edition:

"According to Timbaland, the hip-hop producer who performed a duet with Justin Timberlake on the singer’s popular single SexyBack, the song will make men gay. Timbaland told Blender magazine: “Some people listen to a song like ‘SexyBack’ and think, am I queer? Am I funny? If you are that way, you’re just that way. But if you’re a masculine man, embrace it.”

We had to try it, so we picked the place where the most homophobic men were assembled, and we subliminally inserted SexyBack in a Steve Hofmeyr track played during the rugby Currie Cup finals on Saturday. For the rest of the weekend, Bloemfontein resembled San Fransisco during the height of the Gay Pride festivities. Tough farmer types, who think romance with a woman is wham, bam, and not even thank you, ma’am, suddenly got all touchy feely and were openly embracing other men. So it is true. Justin Timberlake is the new Cher."

I'm having the best time at this gig! Should work really be this much fun?

Irene: SexyBack, BrokeBack... It's just too eerie to be a coincidence, isn't it?

SilverSabreSweetie: Was I gone? Where'd I go? Praytell, because it feels as if I've been stuck here in By George since forever!

Hallo are you still there/here

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
