When I’m procrastinating I find it good to find something I’ve wanted to do for ages and do that. Not only do I experience the satisfaction of putting off what I really should be doing. But I also get the joy of doing something that’s important but way down the priority list.
So I’m pleased to [...]
So Rosa Sparx has gone and got herself a THINKING BLOGGER AWARD and thinks she can now bestow this honour on everyone she knows (thanks hon!). Which makes it really easy for the rest of us to find 5 people to consequently pass the honour on to! But I managed it and still included a [...]
Little known fact: I originally set up this blog because I wanted to get into the habit of writing so I might just maybe start writing better.
Little did I know that I was about to fill a void in the NZ blogosphere by writing about political issues from a Green perspective. Which, at [...]
I’ve discovered something quite evil about not having a job. Apart from the fact you never know what bloody day it is, it quite seriously messes with your body clock. Take right now for example, I have to be up at 6.30 to drive to Auckland and I can’t bloody sleep! This [...]
Time for an explanation as to what the hell is going on in the life behind this blog. I’ll give you a bit of context and answer DPF’s post about blog fathers and I will not comment on the gendered language behind the family tree concept, lest I get attacked by the anti-PC brigade..
I started [...]
Yesterday some lucky punter (who happens to be from Corinda, Queensland, Australia, is using Win XP, Firefox and has a 1024×768 resolution monitor, but only stayed for 2 seconds!) was the 10,000th visitor to this website! How exciting! So big thank you to all of you out there who come and read what [...]
I’m now going to indulge in a moment of positivity
1. Fake Jewish fables
2. The Feminist Conspiracy in action
3. Stupid Nazi kids going down for DUMB ASS SHIT
4. Midnight getting lolly cake, oh yes, lolly cake :o)
5. Elections - yes I know I’m sick, but they are fun.
6. Asher - [...]
Hey for all of you who missed peterquixote’s little spazz attack on the comments. I have reproduced them in full below. For your entertainment. Really couldn’t have all the fun myself.
while we at it parrot, read yo pathetic little girlfriend snootu nosed wehelpling that if she can’t write english don’t shove you drivel at anyoner [...]
Apologies for the lack of posting, think posting will be a bit less frequent for a while..
Anyhoo, some stuff…
Did you see this on Thursday night? It was cool!
Big ups to Tze Ming Mok yet another brilliantly written piece. I’ve been finding her posts incredibly interesting, informative and damn funny!
Left and Lefter has some [...]
The Green Party has managed a major win over the last 24 hours with the Prisoners and Victims Claims Bill. It sounds like United Future had the Government over the barrel and wanted them to remove the Prisoner part of the bill out. The Government weren’t having a bar of it so they went to [...]
NRT discussed the season for seasonal workers issues. I agree wholeheartedly about the issues in regards to pay. But it’s not just pay, there are some extreme renegade employers out there. I had a friend working on an orchard in Motueka a few years ago and the supervisor drove around the orchard [...]
Firstly, looked at Cam’s blog yet? He’s slowly meandering his way home now (via beautiful scenic ocean and mountain roads - bastard) and should be back by the end of the week.
Watching the trip from this end has been a pretty humblimg experience. When he first got there, the majority of the photos were of [...]
So I think something got slipped in the water this week. Everyone’s gone mental.
Firstly Maurice Williamson answered the mystery as to how the Nat’s are planning on paying for all these roads, with magic! Cause, like, you know, motorists pay all this money into roading and it all mysteriously vanishes. Never [...]
I must have picked up some new readers recently as the stats are picking up nicely. So for you newbies, read WorldChanging now and every day from now on. If you’re a greeny hippy you’ll love it and if you’re not you might be able to pull your head out your ass for [...]
A very dear friend of mine is on a plane today to go to Aceh to work with Caritas for two and a half weeks. He has set up a blog to document his travels and will hopefully be posting reasonably frequently. He will also be posting up photos. For those regular [...]
The Green’s new blog frogblog has gone live today.
Frog’s release below:
Hopping around the corridors of power
Well, I have to say that the Green Parliamentary Office is much more fun when all the MPs aren’t here.
I’ve finally worked out how to type with my pads, so now I can hop into my self-appointed role as the [...]
You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?
Up Your Ass by Valerie Solanas, you can't buy it now so I can't
imagine it would be terribly easy to track down if they were burning
books left, right and centre.
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Nah, actually, can't say I have…
The [...]
Funny thing about fog, it usually makes me rather sentimental for those early mornings in Hamilton when you’re riding to school, and then arriving so saturated, you may as well of swam to school. But when you’re sitting in an airport waiting for the fog to lift long enough to get a flight, it [...]
Just added a new link to the side for the Wellingtonist. Great idea for a blog, and well put together. And I do assume they will take public contributions…

I really love living in Wellington at the moment.
The thing I love the most is the amazing community of inspired visionary creative people around.
Example A: The Cake Shop
The Cake Shop is the new reincarnation of the Freedom Shop and resides where the old antique shop used to be on Cuba St. Following on [...]
