Archie’s kindy is having a fundraising garage sale this Saturday (Wellington South Kindergarten, 103 Owen St, 9 am - 1.30 pm) and it may turn into a little bit of a blog meetup as Wanda Harland will be there with her famed coffee cart. Then straight afterwards there’s a Wellington Flickr meetup (1:30pm @ Arizona) […]

I was very disappointed with the eviction of Keshia from NZ Idol last night. I don’t vote ONE WEEK and look what happens. I can’t even blame it on the Australian public like I usually do.

Just read on Short and Sweet that there will be a special preview screening of Serenity at Reading Cinemas on Sept 19th at 8:30pm. This is the movie based on the short-lived yet brilliant TV series Firefly. I’m definitely going if I can pre-book tickets - anyone else coming?

Hey, check out this site, you can lose hours in there. Well I can. Am I weird? Via Chelsea Peretti.

I had a very vivid movie-like sci fi dream last night. I was on some planet where the surface temperature suddenly got really really hot and we all had to take refuge underground in a bunker. Then the planet started flooding and with the water came these huge aliens that were like Chinese dragons, really […]

My grandpa Michael Forlong was a film director and on Wednesday 31st August there is going to be a screening of his film Rangi’s Catch at the Film Archive in Wellington. Apparently I was on the set of this one as a 3 year old and used to run around playing with Temuera Morrison! I’m […]

Okay, after some DRAMAS with moving the site, it’s now all transferred over to the new server at Digital Pacific. Please let me know if you come across any weirdness. Hopefully all will be smooth.
