This is why you love me, right? Right?…it’s ok. You can say it a.k.a the April ‘09 BHH update

So I get to Mateo’s  and even though I am quite late, there are rather a few people: Mr. B2B, Rogue King, Walk on by, Antipop and yes, the 27^th Comrade himself. This is not good but what is worse is that the BHH charperson a.k.a the one who we could argue has kept BHH going a.k.a the one you are always sure to find at BHH even as a newbie you may fear that you will find no one a.k.a Darlkom aka Dee a.k.a Darlyne is not here. Is this truly BHH, some one who knows about BHH and Darlyne may wonder? Later on, we find out, that the poor darling forgot about BHH and instead went to the movies(reader, do feign betrayal). And on realizing that it was indeed the BHH day, she screamed, “oh God no!” on top of her voice, stood up in a panic, threw the popcorn at her date, and ran out to join us at Mateos…or something like that. Her date as it turns out was our very own Bazanye so she didn’t have to be as dramatic as I wish she had been. So after the movie, they came over to Mateo’s. Also in attendance were Carsozy and the Dare devil herself.

 

International pressing  issues that were discussed:

1. Our sympathy to Rogue King on the loss of his laptop.
2.  Is Sleek (of Sleek and wild) a chic or a guy?
3. Is Detamble pregnant? How come she no longer comes out? (that was in form of a direct question for 27^th who remained speechless for eternity. Rogue King later told him that the best way to answer such questions is by saying, “I can neither deny nor confirm that.”
4. So we know B2b has a Mrs. Is there a Rogue Queen or a ka easy weak chic? And uncle pop (upon which everyone chuckled knowingly and I begged in vain to be let in on the secret.) 27^th pushed it further by asking me whether there was a hell. We never got into what Walkon by’s significant other would be or Dare devil’s for that matter. Feel free to offer.
5. We had an agony aunt/uncle session where one of us needed advice on what to do with this guy who is doing all things right even though she fears he might have a kid and yet he hasn’t come out to tell her about it. I won’t tell you who she was. Look out for the story on her blog. That’s what you get for missing BHH.
6. Something about GUG which I do not quite remember. Oba what was it?
7. B2B: the only chic you can call ‘dawg’ on blogger is Antipop. Discuss. (I argued that Cheri could as well cos she has that ghetto fabulousness about her…and she is a self confessed as if mafia. No?)
8. Kasozi, why do you go stress our tongues with CaRsozy?
9. Carsozy’s move to the hamptons a.k.a wordpress.

 

Obvious world threatening issues that did not quite pique our interest but were mentioned non the less

1. The swine flu.

 I left shortly after that.

Bloggers unplugged: July BHH

Good day ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Blog News live. To bring you the news today am Ernie Baz and…Shhhh.

Bloggers Happy hour did take place last Thursday and our correspondent Heaven! was there and she compiled this exclusive report for us. H!?

H! : Hmmm….Nga don’t I go for BHH. (Claps her hands and swiftly moves them to her waist. As if Nigerian style this time.) Hmmm. Nga don’t I….
(Producer screaming.) Can some one tell this woman that some of us actually care that we keep our jobs?

Camera man to H! : H!? H!?…we are live. Business please?

H! : Oh. (Flashing her smile to appease the viewers) welcome all you nice people of blogville. As you have surely found out, I did go for the July BHH. Like I had promised, I was with my Chinese friend Judy and we got there earlier than anybody.
6:45pm: I realize I can’t recognize any body and am starting to think that maybe it is Kiwani. We decide that I should move outside and look for them.

Outside: I see Ivan and he sees me at that same time and goes: Heaven!! Like he’s really happy am here. That dropped my nervousness and shyness like way below I couldn’t even reach out for them again if I would need them as an excuse for being quiet. (Thanks, Ivan) and then when I get to him he stands up and we have a weird moment of deciding whether it’s a hug or a handshake. You see, I had met Ivan already. At work and I knew he was The One long before he figured I was H! but when I realized I might make it for BHH, I figured it would be wise to introduce myself so that when I go for BHH, I would know at least one person(Clever, kid? I know!) In the end we settled for the hug. In fact there were very many hugs that went around that night that I still have some left over from that night if you want. Ivan then introduced me to Dee who went: she’s a blogger?!( in a totally my-God-you-have-been-gone-for-so-long-and-I-missed-you-so-much! tone) and then she stands up and give me another hug…by this time I was so kawa I had forgotten the spelling of nervous or even shy. Then I say am H! and my real name is H. and go around to meet Tim, Rebecca( who was so quiet), Glenna aka Uganda’s Scarlet Lion( she has a totally cool accent I wanted her to talk the whole time), and Kelly and then I leave to get Judy.

Back inside: the waiter takes his time to have Judy and our food and tea shifted to the outside so I go back to tell them that it will be a while till we get out.

Outside again: 27th, as in the man himself is here! I go round to do the introduction thingie and he goes: whoa! like he is having a fit…and then I don’t know how to respond to that so I don’t remember what I said after.
I get back in and after a while I get out again. Pernille has dropped by and leaves shortly after. I introduce Judy and tell her to listen to the Americans and see whether she can understand what they say and that the more she interacted the more marks she would get from me as far as her speech and listening is concerned. No kidding. It was exam time for her (and I totally envy her. I wish I had exams like these). According to 27th who had the longest time with her, she speaks well…and that makes me a good tutor. I gave her 75% and I gave myself 70% (am really trying out this new thing I heard about called modesty). Dante came and so did Duksey and S.A.G.E and Country boyi also came by to say wasap.

Shhhh: we shall take an ad break and when we get back, H! will get up-close and personal. Stay tuned! (Ernie B is just smiling into the camera).

Because the Queen says so, there is this advert about that Kamikazi boutique at Ntinda Mall.
Then there’s the advert to remind all those that haven’t bought Bazanye’s Worst Idea to get it while stock lasts.
Then H!, self-proclaimed international tutor(with 70 %) asks that people can now seek her services and she leaves her cell phone number.

Ernie B: welcome back viewers. (Turning to Shhh mbu so that also the news appears to be interactive and that the presenters are not automations that just read what is before them and smile and pretend to look at some paper and then look up) Pretty interesting story that H! has there, don’t you think?

Shhh: yeah. For real!

Ernie B: you won’t have to wait any longer…H!?

H! : One thing I really realized that these people, the bloggers, are totally normal people! Mbu you think that when you cut 27th, Communist rants would come out or when you cut Dee, Rock Tunes will come out? And those design things that Ivan does will flow out? Wapi! You cut yourself and see…that red stuff? Same stuff that would flow out!…and that made them even easier to chill with…let me break this down for you:

Dee: she is a warm person and she made me feel really welcome and I found that she was not as loud as I had imagined. And you remember what 27th said about her? It’s all true! Judy said she walks like a model…and I agreed. And the next day when I
was reading Hello and I saw Eva Longoria, I thought of her. Let me also take this opportunity to say that I am very straight and I am so into men incase some doubt was starting to creep into your head.

Ivan: I think he is the kind of bloke that can spend an afternoon watching Power-puff girls at his crib but when he gets out he says he was watching a mafia movie like The Don. Or some “hard” core stuff. But he made me feel so relaxed and I totally enjoyed my time there. He even made me go find out if some chick was taller than him…but maybe he should tell you about that himself.

Dante: also known as Peter (you know when he told me he was Peter, I went: Wait, there’s no Peter! And he had to say that he was actually known as Dante). He is polite. No, that doesn’t quite say it…let me see…he is very pleasant! The kind of guy that might stand up when a chick is leaving the table. I missed his significant other who happens to be outside countries. I did berate him over as if abandoning the blogging cause and he says that he has an active blog somewhere. Some one do point us to where this is, will you? Thank you very much.

Duksey: a fountain of smiles! With lots of that stuff 27th (and almost all guys) likes. I kept wondering whether he was understanding what she was saying but it looked like he was focused! When I told her that I report for Blog News, she asked me to go work for her! Kyokka Duksey! You are too kind!
Then she went on to say that comrade and I had a his and hers because of our almost identical hairstyles. Kyokka Duksey!

27th: First off, he is not as communist as he wants us to believe. For starters, he has a phone and I think one day he might even invite us to his slum(oh, he will stick to the slum story) crib and we find that it is a plush crib with tiles ‘n shit…and that is how little am going to say! I took him on on the “Legalise the Herb” debate and we all failed to convince each other! I still think it shouldn’t be legalized- for very personal reasons and he still thinks we ought to be free enough to do as we please. Mbu as there’s no ban on mangoes! Ha! I ha’had him on that one!
Shock of all shocks was that he is about my age and that if he hadn’t chull school, we would be in the same year at campus. Me for me when I read his stuff, I thought he was a lot older. Like on the other side of the twenties. The other, other side almost crossing over into thirties. When you see him you won’t even believe that he jumped out of school and moved out of home. You will believe however that he loves his mum. Just by looking at him and when he does his bu-sound effect things like whoa!(for lack of a better way of saying them). I know so many guys our age who cannot even think half what he thinks and later on write it down the way he does. I think he is just someone who matured waaaaaay before his time!…and I think that makes him a genius!

The Americans left a lot earlier so I got little on them…but hey, thanks a lot to all that were there. I had a swell time.
-H!

Shhhh: thanks H! for that comprehensive report. Am sure the people who missed feel like they were there.

Ernie: Certainly. Thanks again H!
