The Overweight Lover's in the house..

Last week was quite hectic. A lot of things were happening; There were meetings for lab quantification, ARVs forecasting for Q1'12, a stubborn cold and Sean Kingston. I struggled through the week with pretty much a constant headache and massive workload. I made small but numerous mistakes all week in my work. It was shabby and looked careless.

Next week should be better.

Sean Kingston concert was horrible. I walked on to the grounds and it had a music festival feel to it with the green grass, fresh air, stalls and a big music stage. The local acts were almost painful to hear. The start would have you thinking "That's a nice beat right there" and just as you start moving to the music, the MC would start screaming down the microphone. They were all tone deaf. Without the auto tune feature on their mixer they are lost. I thanked the Lords of Kobol when some of them would just play a CD and dedicate their energies to working the crowd instead with nuggets such as "Yeah... Uganda. Uh!". Sean Kingston was the biggest culprit of this. He's no Heavy D.

Mr. Flavour (it's actually a good song) came on stage for his one hit. He killed some stage time first. He spent 30 secs taking his shirt off, 3 mins to throw it into the crowd and then just walked up and down for 10 mins spewing inane shit like "Are you ready Kampala?". It was at 10:45PM and the concert had started at 7. WHAT DO YOU RECKON MATE?

The people did not mind though. They were here for the spectacle and not the music. Charles (one of the drivers) had a blast. He felt he got his money's worth. I guess in retrospect so did I. It was only $26 and it came with 4 free beers, 2 sodas, 2 waters and food. I got exactly my money's worth and no more.
