Re-Enactment
Was awoken by a earthquake early this morning.. it was quite a slow but strong shaking. Our first instinct was to rush and grab the children, luckily it stopped just as we were about to burst into their bedrooms or it would have been a very early start to the day. Earthquakes are strange when you have been away from them for so long - I remember barely noticing them as a child. Now I find them a little freaky. Seems like the older one gets, the more fear one acquires - natural I guess!
Life in Newtown is going swimmingly. Made good progress with the unpacking. Went to the Gay & Lesbian fair on Saturday - lots of lesbian mums there and a great atmosphere. Nice to see the rainbow flags flying!
We have got Sky and last night discovered that E! has coverage every day of the Michael Jackson trial WITH RE-ENACTMENTS! It’s genius! The guy re-enacting Michael is very good - hasn’t said a word yet but looks very convincing. It’s on at 6:30pm and 10:30pm EVERY DAY!
Update: Here is a great pic of Edward Moss getting into makeup as Michael…

Very generous of the producers to cast someone who, even in make-up, looks more human than the real MJ. Check out the mug-shot: http://cache-origin-east.eonline.com/News/Specials/Jackson/CheatSheet/

I think it was less than a year ago when our 12 year old was watching music videos & Janet Jackson was on. I mentioned “That’s Michael Jackson’s sister”.
There was a stunned silence & the TV screen was scrutinised carefully… then 12 year old said “But she’s black!”
Priceless.

Yuk, earthquakes. They always scared the hell out of me. Maybe it was because I lived all my life on the western hills faultline. When I left for London I was quite glad as there had been a spate of small shakes. It’s certainly not something I ever got used to.

I see, you’re the sort of people Brian Tamaki says are going to destroy the country, or the world, or something. Welcome to Wellington.
