I went to Courtney Central yesterday to watch Fearless (which incidentally is a pretty good watch) and while I was sitting in the foodcourt waiting I overheard this conversation.
A mum asking her 6 (I’m guessing) year old daughter (again guessing),
Lord knows we love a small horse

And check out this article from Asheville, NC. “Maya Leoni, who is held by Angela Perez, cries as her mother, A.J. Leoni, pours the last of her drink into the receptacle while in line for the security checkpoint at the Asheville Regional Airport.”POUR IT INTO A RECEPTACLE? Don’t you think that some of these potentially explosive liquids might be more dangerous when, I don’t know, mixed in a big vat in the middle of an airport?Christ, why don’t they just have people put their liquids into a big bonfire?
Boing Boing: If the liquid could be explosive, why are you dumping it in a crowd?

If you ever are passing through Manaia, (on the surf highway (57)) make sure you stop at the yarrows bakery there. Its utterly fantastic.
My friend Douglas is in San Jose at the moment at ZeroOne San Jose.
He’s exhibiting his cloud classifier and his film making robot. You can read a brief bio here
We spent the day today showing Alex (a friend of a friend from New Jersey) around Wellington. It was pretty crappy weather so we did mostly indoor things. Starting with lunch at some french cafe on Cuba street that I can’t recall the name of, it was damn good though. Then we got some dessert from Dorothys and went to look around the City Gallery. After that we went to the Town hall to listen to a free pipe organ recital. To finish off we went to the tasting room for dinner.
It’s been quite a long week this week, and I’m looking forward to the weekend. We have a friend of a friend arriving from New Jersey via Australia on Saturday. So we get to play tourguide for a bit, which is often fun.
This evening we have an exhibition opening, and an exhibition closing to go to (no not the same one). And then tomorrow another exbition opening. Plus the Air New Zealand cup kicks off tonight and the All Blacks play the Wallabies tomorrow. So It’s going to be a full on weekend too by the looks of it.
I hope to have a little time clear to do some installation and testing of the dev_week Koha code. We’ll see, I said that last weekend too 🙂
Laurel was having some whacky dreams last night, which didn’t help me sleep much at all.
Someone screaming “Why dont you just grow the fuck up” in your ear at 3.15am is not a pleasant way to be jolted awake. She assures me it wasnt me in the dream she was yelling at. To paraphrase Mr T “I pity the fool who it was”.
After a big discussion with Laurel last night, we came to the conclusion that its absurd. What is absurd? you ask, the answer is, EVERYTHING IS ABSURD.
I could start listing examples, but Id be here this time next year and only have scratched the surface. Everyday we bump into more and more absurd situations.
I don’t know how much it rained last night, but it sounded like a hell of a lot, and its still going. The dogs are refusing to go outside, which is fair enough. The yard is pretty much one big boggy mess now.
