You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every book ever published. You are a fountain of endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and never fail to impress at a party.
What people love: You can answer almost any question people ask, and have thus been nicknamed Jeeves.

Had to share this pic I found on Flickr of a little boy with Down Syndrome. Beautiful!

I keep hearing rumours that Prince is playing an upcoming gig in Wellington… can anyone confirm? Or even better, tell me where to buy tickets? Help!

Off to the Phoenix Foundation album release gig at Indigo on Friday night. Had a great night. TPF did an amazing set, the best I’ve seen for shizzle (not that I have seen them that many times).

There were 16 days in April during which no one seems to know where she was…
Sometime that week, her friends say, she flew to Los Angeles for a (first) meeting with Cruise about a role in “Mission: Impossible 3.” The […]

Somehow Heather of Dooce can communicate certain truths of parenthood that make one laugh and cry with empathy, eg:
While in the care of Jon’s younger sister Leta learned to climb stairs. His sister would make her crawl after the Barbie Corvette up a full flight of stairs from the basement at least four times every […]

Ausculture pointed me towards a very odd bit of gossip regarding Tom “I love to stick my penis in her vagina” Cruise.
Katie Holmes may have fallen for it, but Tom Cruise’s sci-fi seduction technique scared the bejeezus out of Scarlett Johansson, a source close to the actress says. Weeks before he began wooing his brainwashed […]
