My gripes and delights

This weekend, I had a sleepover with my friend Callum. During the sleepover, we went to the new Bounce Mall of Africa. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be tall enough to go to the Xpark, but now they have built the sickest ever toddler's area. Now I want to be short. They killed the fun.


Now, during my sleepover, we went to Cowfish. Cowfish is an awesome little Asian restaurant. But three weeks ago, when I went to watch Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (10 out of 10 book, 8.5 out of 10 movie), we went to another Asian restaurant called Big Mouth, and it was like double the price of Cowfish… 😲. I have got some exact figures for you. At Cowfish, four pieces of salmon rose sushi cost 95 rand, but at Big Mouth, it's R154.


Now, I said that I was at a sleepover, and at sleepovers, you must play video games (it's like a requirement or something). And a game that we like playing is a little unknown indie game that is super discreet and nobody really knows about. It's called Fortnite. Now, I know what you're thinking, and no, I am not some crazy Fortnite kid.


I'll give a little backstory on how I got into the game. It's Chapter 2, Season 2, and the hype for Fortnite is so real. Midas is a hot and trendy skin, and life is goodd- ahhh no ways, it's lockdown. So I had more time, and I started playing Fortnite. I stayed loyal to the game until Chapter 2, Season 5, and I quit then. But when Fortnite OG came back, I was like oww la la, what's that? And I played a lot of it, and it was really fun. That's my delight about Fortnite. My gripe is those stupid collabs!? Why the hell is Peter Griffin 200 pumping full boxing Tony Stark whilst his teammate The Weekend is pulling up on a squad of John Cena, Marshmello, Donatello from TMNT, and Solid Snake? It's stupid, and I have V-Bucks to spend on your pixels, Fortnite, but I never wear those stupid crossovers. Few.


Now, contrary to popular belief, I do dabble in conspiracy theories. And one that I will stand by is that Coke changed their recipe for a short time. They had a big sweepstakes called the Coke Studio, and every Coke that I had with that QR code tasted more artificial. But this weekend, I opened my Coke, and it was perfect!


Okay, I'm done. Go touch some grass.
