OK this made me laugh out loud (literally)

1. Where is your cell phone? In my bag. The ringtone is set to “sunshine” – a cabaret-ish sounding song which bugs the hell out of my dad and (tee hee) and invariably startles my workmates whenever my phone goes off.

2. Relationship? Been on a beta-male experiment. Oh the tension between what my mind wants and what I really, really want for Christmas i.e. the hairy, sweaty alpha male. (more…)

So my words they have gone AWOL and I’m sick to death of that AMBI photo. So I’ve been wondering what to use my blog and I got this brilliant idea that the one niche that I could fill ( a giffen demand actually) is a place to comment on KM’s blogs as she has disabled comments on her blog *sulks*

So… here goes. (more…)

I stumbled across KBW by way of BruthaCode who’d linked MamaJunkYard who’d linked kina Spidey et al and I.was.hooked. And I was then reading blogs like it was part of my job description. The camaraderie between Guess, MJY and Nick and all those other OBs– erm… OGs was amazing. I was of course lurking as initially, it felt like I was intruding on a family conversation. There was this rowdy, rambunctious, crazy, loud (even in cyberspace, best believe you mofos be louuuud!) and they were having so much fun, I was like “I gotta get me some of this blogging.”

And I started my blog which (say it ain’t so), had my real name in its glory. I mean the full mutumiawamucii.blogspot.com AND pictures of me (what was I thinking?!) courtesy of crappy halo scan as that was in the bad old pre-flickr days. Of course I got 0.0 comments but I got hooked on this whole “you have a story to tell, so tell it!” idea. And, I decided to join KBW. Msanii was one of my first custos and he slowly became a regular (more on the utter loveliness that is Msanii in another post). Then visitors started trickling in, and I started butting in on conversations and the thing that surprised me so pleasantly, was how welcoming everyone in KBW was.

Which brings me to Nick.

This is the first of what will hopefully be regular series where we give you a glimpse at the erstwhile private lives of a select group of bloggers. The bloggers that we will be profiling are drawn from a cross-section of KBW folks who have helped change the way that we communicate as Kenyans. It is with great pleasure that I present excerpts of the transcript of the interview that I held with our first guest- the one and the only Keguro. The interview took place in Boston’s Newbury Street on the 18th of January, 2006. A webcast of this interview will soon be made available along with the full transcript of the interview.
