Spaceinbetween Design

Yes, I know... strange name, but as it so often happens great things come with strange names... like Nologo Studios, Linkin Park, Facebook, Blogger, Strudel, etc... You get where I'm going with this.

Spaceinbetween (space in between) is the company that my cousin George owns. He is and actually always has been naturally gifted in design both graphic and structural. At the moment he is producing some of the most exquisite works of art... everything from sleek metal tables that look like they should be featured in a movie set in space and beautifully designed mosaic walls, to statues and works of art which are designed to add colour and vibrance to your home.

He is truly amazing. It looks like the Spaceinbetween website is currently getting a facelift, but you can check out his superb works of art on his Facebook page.

Stick a fork in me, I am done

I can’t do it… I just can’t do it anymore. We’re in the process of changing our DSTV subscription (long story), so at the moment we don’t have TV at home. As a result, my grandfather is putting the radio on at 4:30am. I shit you not. The problem is, because his hearing isn’t good he turns it up, not exceptionally loud, but just above acceptable level. I’m not a morning person at the best of times, and if I could, I would ensure that there was no sound at all in my house from the time I get up to the time that I walk out of the door. I need peace in the mornings. There is no peace in my house anymore. It’s not just that though… we are just from two very different worlds. We had to listen to Rod Stewart last night. Shoot me, please. I was in my room so I wasn’t watching the dvd, but I could still hear ooooold Rod belting it out like there was no tomorrow.

I can’t do it anymore! I have nothing but anger in my heart towards him at this point. He squandered his life and his money, left my gran to go diddle whatever woman he could find in whatever dodgy pub he came across and now instead of retiring in a nice old-age home or immigrating to Canada, he's invading our home. I know you probably think I'm a terrible person, but at this point I don't care.
