So Fiji’s in the middle of the infamous 3 long weekends, one after the other, the kind of holiday weekends that make bosses weep, employees cheer and teenagers rub their hands with evil, well planned glee.

While most people took that opportunity to either enjoy some much needed sunshine, partake in the greater pleasures of alcohol, or spend time with their families and episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, so far the past two long weekends has resulted in me slaving at my square screen at work.

Fingers crossed this final longest of long weekends will be work free. If not, houses will burn.

Awesome Experimental Comic Post: Awesome Cake dares to be different, and takes a more visual approach to his next post. Also guest starring a ninja. I likes ninjas.

The Cost of Living in Fiji: It really is going up. Babasiga examines the cost of certain foods and services around the general Nadi area, for example, a movie costs between $2 to $4. Nice.

Kata kata na nDraki (its too darn hot): Meg Campbell-Back of Megcampbellback.typepad.com experiences a really hot day up in the West. Aside from getting to practise some fijian phrases (“kerea mada e dua na tavai wai LEVU” I would like a LARGE bottle of water), she also had a flat battery in the boat, which didn’t quite help with the whole heatwave moment. Oh and if there was ever was an award for ‘blog with best professional pictures’, her blog would take it. Without a doubt.

Exaggerated Annoyances: What annoys the crap out of you? Red Ants? A program switching your screen resolution? Firefox not saving when you want to save? Yep. It annoys May as well.

Digital Talanoa: The Talanoa of Serving Customers: When it comes down service, Jonathan has a bone to pick with it. Why? Because in a previous post, he’s experienced the best restaurant service ever in Suva, and he wants to make sure everyone hears his experience

Note: In reference to the apparently changed title, it’s weekly, bi-weekly, you know…around that period.
