A grey and dismal day
And not just the weather. Once again, NZ has bucked international trends, and just when Australia finally got rid of Howard and voted in Labour, and America finally got rid of Bush and voted in a Democrat president, after 9 years of Labour we’ve swung back to the right. National + ACT = the most…
Errata
It seems some of my newer readers were a bit mystified by the nature of George, and read entirely the wrong meaning from my opening paragraph last night. Meet George: See? Definitely a cat, not a man. I hope that alleviates your fears about my morals 😉 (He normally looks a lot darker than in…
Assisted democracy
Do you know how difficult it is to take a picture of your own chest? As I’m away for the next couple of weekends, I’ve declared this weekend to be a Weekend of Extreme Laziness. But of course, in order to do that, I first had to have a Morning of Extreme Busyness to get…

Behemoth or dragon?
So far over on LJ there’s two votes for behemoth, one for dragon. You decide:
Where to sleep in Christchurch
With 2009 not so much creeping up on us as thundering towards us like stampeding behemoth*, we decided it was about time to get some real information out to people, which meant getting on with a bit of research. So yesterday lytteltonwitch, rarsberry and I met for breakfast (after a bit of a false start…
Witches and devils and… a gorilla with a pizza?
I finally finished my Anthropology research paper and handed it in, so I’m free! No more study for this year!!! Which means I can finally concentrate on all the other things I should be getting done – like catching up on writing my blog, maybe… Yeah, right. Lytteltonwitch had her bookcrossing halloween party last night….
