Bugs, Big Girls and Bills



I know some of you have already sent me to hell but I couldn't resist sharing that cartoon, it really cracked me up. It reminded me of a phenomenon in American universities called B.U.G, that is bisexual until graduation.Girls and some guys would get it on whichever way they want to but as soon as they walk across the stage and get their diploma it's back to the straight and narrow. I guess some people can have their cake and eat it too.

Moving on, people on this blog seemed to be stunned by the big girls dancing rumbling to Ciara. Well guess what? They're back! Enjoy!


In other mind numbing news, my on-line cable bill arrived. This month I am only paying $24, I had a few deductions due to me but I think they overdid it.That is the price that people pay for basic cable, which I dont have but as the saying goes don't look the gift horse down the mouth; so I'm going to pay that bill ASAP. One thing you have to admire about the West is the efficiency of the billing process. These people cover all avenues in most cases, you can pay by mail, internet, wire transfer, cheque,cash and money order.As the saying goes, money is money. I think more companies in Kenya should take this up esp the utility companies. Have you ever had to queue in City Hall and Electricity House two times in one day to pay your bills? Not a fun experience at all!Yes there are people who can line up for you for a fee but not all of us have that extra money. I think giving money should be made as fast and efficiet as possible, as a man in a Co-op bank super line once said, "We shouldn't beg you to take our money!"

LMAO! that cartoon is tres hilarious. At the risk of catching stick those lesbian liaisons used to be in most girls borading schools! sheesh, atleast in mine it was.

True true about the payment modes in kenya, you beg them to take your money and when you finally give up they come disconnect your elec!

@ half n half
I have always wondered if the boarding school thingie was out of convenience or those were real lesbos.
I have been in the no power boat before and it wasnt funny at all!
@ aegeus
Seems you are balling! Si you come pay my bill for me in advance?
@ majonzi
I think watching 2 hot chics get at it works for most jamaas. I saw that ad too but I dont know if it really works.
@ rants of a somali man
Thanks for the support!

Ah, that cartoon. What a satirical depiction of humanity's fickleness!

Online convenience is the one thing I'll miss about this place the day I eventually move back home. That is if they won't have put in place systems like these there. The only thing I write cheques for nowadays is rent, and that's only because my landlord is small scale, thus hasn't set up online payment.

The cartoon's funny =)

Online payments are brilliant. And I like direct deposit too. There's less confusion about things getting lost in the mail and no hassle of lining up. Like Egm,the main cheque I write regularly is for rent.

@ egm
That cartoon was pithy and funny at the same time!
I too use my check/cheque book for rent mostly.
@ Girl next door
I guess you, me and egm are in the same boat as regards cheque use.I have yet to get through one whole book!
