Nollywood Lovin'

Thanks to my IrokoTV subscription, I have rediscovered my love for Nollywood/Ghana movies again. Instead of sleeping yesterday after my night shift, I stayed up and finished 3 Can Play with Yvonne Nelson and Yvonne Okoro. I adore Yvonne Okoro. I don't know why. Every time I see her on screen, am always inspired to take my makeup game a notch.



Anyway, right now I am seriously, seriously craving Adam's Apples by Shirley Frimpong Manso of Sparrow Productions.

I discovered her films the other day and I was super inspired! Sigh. I need someone to bring back Adam's Apples chapters 1-10 from Ghana for me or better yet for them to open up their e-commerce site so I can satisfy my cravings. (Can I mention that the Ghanian actors are seriously fine and am not talking about the usual Van  Vicker peeps.) I love love love the interior design and I love love love the way they showcased African textiles, there was one outfit like this in chapter 1 that I loved so much that I actually snapped a picture.



Yes, I am totally a stan for this movie, and the creative mind it came out of.

Back to finishing up my invitation and procrastinating on my novel.


But seriously, please, if you have a connection to hook me up with Adam's Apples, I'll be your friend forever. Please and thank you.

New Week

I feel so accomplished this morning. My weekend was productive for once. I painted my chair and it is finally in my bedroom. The thing is, I underestimated the amount of paint I would need and went crazy with dilution. My first clue should have been that the original pattern was visible under the paint. I filed it down a bit with sandpaper which took off the color. Then, because I ran out of paint, I wasn't able to paint the seat and instead covered it with an old ankara skirt that I was planning to turn into pillows. I was very disappointed with the results, but it's now growing on me. I might leave the ankara like that or change it for another ankara I have. Lastly, I tried gluing the broken leg in place but alas, it didn't work. I guess I had better just buy a new leg for the chair. My next project is to figure out how to stick mirrors into an old painting. I also need to pick up my hall table from the office where it has been waiting for me all last week. I really wi...

Thank you LORD!

I passed my boards! I am so happy! To be honest, when I walked out of that exam, I was sure I was going to have to retake it. Allelujah (imagine Fountain of Praise singing that word on their song: I can't praise you enough. better yet, go hear it for yourself here .) i am so ecstatic!! Even better, I have the weekend off. I think i will be checking out the brand new heavies after all. oh yeah, third year is going fine. lots of work though, and i get so nervous about speaking in front of people. but i really adore my team. plus i admire my pgy-3 resident a lot, she is a firm and assertive woman. when i see her, i think to myself, i can do this! no room for shyness. in a minute. pgy=post graduate year.

Writing Life.

So, it is day 16 of this NaNoWriMo thing, and I am happy to report that I am still here. Writing away. Last night was a good night. I came to the page with great reluctance, confused and sleepy and distracted but once I got into the groove, I got into the groove. I even surprised myself. At the end of the night was at 26058, and I added 3000+ words. Are those words any good? I don't know. I will deal with that at the edit stage. I found this cool writing tool called Scrivener . Actually, I read about it on one of these NaNo pep talk letters. At first, I was like why would I need a tool for writing a novel, like I couldn't get it. But then I actually read about the features and I got it. What got me was the fact all my scattered word files  could be stored in one place. So I have been writing this novel separated into years instead of chapters, with the major characters telling each year from their view. I would put each year in their own file and then after I edited, woul...
