Theres been lots of ads on TV lately, you know the ones, “a starving kid in Africa waits” etc. I was thinking, I wish someone would come out and say ‘Look us westerners screwed up their continent, the least we can do is feed the little buggers’. Id donate to that charity.

Deadwood
I got this series out on DVD from fatso.co.nz. Its a good watch, HBO are coming out with some interesting
shows at the moment, as they aren’t crippled with the fascist censorship rules
that the networks in the US.
Census Night tonight
So tonight is the census, everyone in NZ has to fill out a form. A pretty
stupid form that makes a lot of false assumptions.
- No one under 15 smokes
- No one under 15 works
Which are both demonstratibly false. But oh well, its just lies^H^H^H^H
statistics.
UPDATE 2006/03/07: Officially counted
Ok Ive filled in the census form online, so I can’t get fined a big wad of
cash. So thats all good.
Battalion
We went to see
Battalion
last night. It was excellent, if you can manage to get tickets to any of
their remaining shows, grab them and go.
MMMM Elixir

Theres this one gang, that keeps wanting me to join because of my Bo Staff skills.
So it was an odd but yet productive weekend. Joshua, THD, and I managed to
do some interesting things with Koha.. well Joshua and THD did most of the
work, I cheered them along. I’ll do a bit of a post about what got done
later on, or you can read all about it in the mailing list archives.
Plus as you can probably tell by the tagline, I watched Napolean Dynamite
again. Oh and all the NZ teams won in the super 14.
Island Bay Festival
Well the Island Bay festival has started again, yesterday was the fair and
parade, followed up by bands in the park. Today is beach day which should be
fun too. Ive got to do a little work today but I might go down to watch the
under 10 horsepower boat race, that should be funny.
UPDATE 2006/02/13: Hula Laguna
So I ended up going to the Hula Laguna instead. It was awesome tons of
people and Fat Freddy’s drop were rocking. People were swimming in the
lagoon, and dancing on every available flat surface.
Man its hot
Well its certainly a lot hotter here today than it was in Pittsburgh. I’m
sitting here watching the cricket (was watching nfl but it finised) and
sweating. We found out there is a person from West View on survivor, so we have to
watch that tonight. Then I think ill go to bed and sleep some more.
Hence forth, this blog is now to be known as a blug
Ive decided im bored of doing a blog, and Rachel made a nice typo this morning, which prompted me to decide that im going to be doing a blug instead from now on.
Once I decide what a blug is, i’ll be sure to blug about it.
Evidence
Some of the tutors and staff at tlc had an exhibition on last weekend.
It was all really good stuff, and Laurel got some nice feedback on her piece so thats all good.
