Me

I'm a 24 year old market research consultant living in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. Contrary to the popular First World stereotypes, I am white/Caucasian and speak [the Queen's] English.

Now that I have managed to hook up my pet monkey to the treadmill out back, I have enough power to surf the intraweb. Someone was telling me that the intraweb is a series of tubes, and the reason why it's so slow down here in South Africa is because they had to stretch the tubes real thin to make them reach us, which makes sense... It also doesn’t help that our telecommunications industry is monopolized by our sole provider, Telkom ("Would you like to know more?" Visit: www.hellkom.co.za)

An inordinate amount of my time is spent playing PC (and some console) games, reading graphic novels, watching films (the more controversial the better), listening to music (all good musicians die by the age of 27) and transfixed by the ludicruous actions of fundamentalist faith heads (they are so cute - you just wanna pet them and spank them, and explain to them what they have done wrong).

Two topics are siphoning off far too much of my brain power at the moment:

1. Is the PS3 gonna whip the Xbox 360 and Wii's collective asses, and if not, will I be able to purchase a Wii and still feel whole inside?
2. How do we get more people to understand what Richard Dawkins is saying in a less confrontational and more pervasive manner?

Other than that, I'm a general barrel of laughs (in between the heavy breathing), except when I'm not.

Let's see where this ends up...

No, I have not decided to jump on the bandwagon so much as I have decided that I 
need a creative outlet. I hope to collate my various interests in an interesting 
and informative manner for all to share.

Because you know I have a lot to give... :P

P.S. I have deliberately misspelled the blog title as Formikation instead of Formication because some guy decided to register a blog under Formication and he has not updated since May (and it only has one post!).
