The nominations for the Academy Awards should be announced later today, an event that thrills me no end as I am an Oscar whore! We traditionally have a bit of an Oscar bash and this year will be no different, though we will have to persuade new punters of the crazy fun of laying down […]

We’ve escaped out to the Wairarapa for a few days to make the most of the last days of holidays. Sadly the weather out here today is really crap! But nice to be back to nature, especially nature with wireless broadband. Archie has been really sick with a tummy bug. We are hoping the sight […]

The nosfarious Bunnies On Ponies are making a rare appearance at Cabaret(ne Chow) this Saturday night from 11pm. Its gonna be an unstopable force of folky mild-rock cantankerousness.
Featuring the talents of myself (al a The Phoenix Foundation), Dave Long (from warrior rockers The Mutton Birds), Lee Prebble (lap steel king of jamaicas studio 1), Tom […]

We’ve been watching a British series on DVD called Sugar Rush, which is all about a teen lesbian who is terribly in love with her straight best friend - yes I know! Watching THREE lesbian-themed tv shows at once! I love living in the 21st century…
Anyway, this particular show has brought back lots of […]

I just haven’t been inspired to blog much recently - post-wedding we are all a bit flat and tired. I cannot say how long this sad state may persist. But rest assured I am still here, concentrating on chemistry, Spashley and recovering from cold I seem to have come down with.
There is some excitement - […]

…a new gay girl tv show addiction! And yes folks, I’ve found a good one. It’s a new US cable teen show called South of Nowhere, and the main character is a teenage girl questioning her sexuality and having an intense relationship with her best friend. It’s great! I have downloaded all the episodes from […]

I took the boys to the park yesterday and they astounded me with their athleticism! Harry is an accomplished climber and has mastered rope ladders and metal curvy ladder-like structures. Archie is obsessed with the little flying fox and can go the whole way dangling and holding tight with his hands. Of course his overprotective […]

The wedding was bloody fantastic! In fact the best I have ever been to. The weather co-operated and everything went perfectly. The ceremony was very simple and sweet (and included the vows “I promise never to go to bed angry and to always kiss you goodbye”. I didn’t lose the rings and handed them over […]

The wedding of the century is tomorrow! I am about to drive out to the Wairarapa for the rehearsal. I’m all excited now that the clothes are sorted and everything is on track. Can’t wait to see Mum’s garden, apparently it is looking amazing. I’ll be sure to publish some Flickr pics when it’s all […]

Jan and I attended the hens’ party of my soon to be sister-in-law, Danilia, last night. That girl is up for anything! My respect for her increased every more over the course of the evening. There were simulated sex acts with vegetables, a large inflatable derriere, torturing of gentlemen with moustaches and of course the […]
