I have Bali drafts that are awaiting me uploading some damn photos to damn flickr I don’t know what’s wrong with… why is this shit taking so long?   Why don’t I do the things I want to do at work when I get home?  It’s Tuesday morning and I’m feeling pretty shitty, listening to [...]

The builders outside my flat who only seem to work between the hours of 7am to 8am. Wondering if they’d let me have a go on what has to be the smallest digger I’ve ever seen in my life.  Knowing they’ll say no. Burning my toes in the shower while I wait for the cold [...]

For serious.  Usually I say oh la la I am giving up alcohol, woe is me, my head, etc, but seriously.  I am giving up wine and making a permanent swap to gin.  Gin was always my first love.  Well that’s not true, vodka was, but you know when you vom up something real bad [...]

Flatmate:  “We’ve no hot water again” Me:  “What? Why? Is the boiler on?” Flatmate:  “Yes, the boiler looks fine.  It’s the burst pipe coming out of the ground that seems to be the problem” Me:  “…” Flatmate:  “Come have a look at the ankle deep pond in the backyard.  We’re now growing moss on the [...]

Sorry to leave Nimby’s criptic message for so long.  Long story short: After selling pork off a dead pig carcass outside a pub for 6 hours straight, I arrived home to our burgled flat.  All laptops, cameras, iPods, my Nintendo (TEAR), were gone. Despite all that trauma, there was an amusing incident when the policeman [...]

“Yea we’re leaving on the Friday night” “Are you sure? Are you sure it’s Friday?? I swear you said Thursday” “Nah nah, Friday” … “Oh you’re right, it is Thursday” “Fuck I thought so, good thing you checked” “Yeah, oops, hur” … “Which airport are we leaving from?” “Gatwick” “Ok, we need to book tickets [...]

I’m noticing a trend in celebrities…. and I like it. Let’s take Katy Perry, Pink and scary pop twins, The Veronicas. (Why did that one dye her hair blonde? What was she thinking?) Look, look.  Do you see the trend here?  Where is the straight-out-of-a-bottle Orange Glow? Are the days of Tan-o-rexia over?  Can I [...]

I seriously regret not blogging earlier because SO much stuff has happened and the wee alcohol men in my brain are eating my memory cells. I think I’ll start with the most bizarre night of the month. I dunno who’s idea it was to go to an Emo Gay bar but I’m sure it sounded [...]

We had a long weekend last weekend. Wellington Anniversary, so I’m told. I’m a proud part of Generation Y, one of those people who generally don’t give a shit about why we have a day off work, only that YAY we have a day off. It was Nats birthday this weekend so we celebrated by [...]

I went to the hairdressers in an attempt to ditch my pink locks and go back to blonde. An easy task, I thought. When I first dyed it, it was fluro. I glowed in the dark. I used the Fudge Paintbox dyes, cost me $20, very cheap and crappy dye. As the weeks went by [...]
