JoBear Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Apply for both. I've been to both, Otago has better facilities like libraries, but Victoria was great for having the School of Government. Guess it depends what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Went to the King's Arms tonight to see five bands for $10. The first band, Litvak Attack, was absolutely fantastic. Worth the $10 alone. Those are some very talented musicians who I doubt will be the opening act on a bill like that for much longer. So when they finished, I thought that since they were only first up, I would be in for a stunning night. It was not to be - the rest of the bands were AWFUL! At least Snakes Of Iron were entertainingly bad - my friend and I were pissing ourselves laughing through most of their set. But the others were just painful. On top of being musically poor, The Rabble were unbearably preachy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Um...The Outsiders and Lungs. The latter had an excuse for being bad - the singer had lost his voice. They learnt a valuable lesson tonight.

darkshineskitty Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yeah, it's crazy. Coldest week I can remember in Auckland. I'm distinctly unimpressed. Yeah same. It got so cloudy the other day that at like 4pm it was really dark! Then the clouds passed and it lightened right up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 One of the first lines of a show I've just started at work - "annoying neighbours that don't like you cos you rob their garages and shit." This is going to be sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBear Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 so national is rolling back labour laws and rights now too? i do not agree with 90 day trials and then allowing employers ask for proof of illness after one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah, I'm not a fan. I agree with Matt McCarten's point that it'll make new employees spend all their time sucking up to their bosses in those first 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Solo news-age is hard work! So exhausted. Turns out the person who was meant to be on Tonight with me is off sick today, and it was never re-allocated. I should have gone and asked someone else, but by the time I realised, it had reached a point where it was so late it's a bit awkward to ask anyone to help.

Michelle Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Fucking National. Why did people vote them. John Key can GTFO. I want Aunty Helen back. +1 Bahaha! Luckily I got to watch the final on tiri with the 4 other people on the island. Couldn't watch the replay though, so it was a long day.

_Ed_ Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I've had a weird slight shortness of breath since yesterday. It hurts a bit when I try to take a deep breath. Not sure why, but it's annoying, so I hope it clears soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I've had a weird slight shortness of breath since yesterday. It hurts a bit when I try to take a deep breath. Not sure why, but it's annoying, so I hope it clears soon. I've gotten something like that too! Last week on Tiri it felt like my asthma was coming back and it got more persitant when I came home. So I saw a dr yesterday and he said it must be an infection triggering it as my temperature was 38.6!! I have no other symptoms and he said I didn't have a chest infection, so it is still asthma but potentially could be influenza... So I'm not allowed to go to uni or anywhere until it it has cleared up in hopefully a few days. If not, I have to go see the dr again. I'm not sure if you have a history of asthma Rich, but if it starts getting too uncomfortable and makes you cough, you might want to go to the dr to get checked out.

_Ed_ Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 sounds like maybe a chest infection? haven't had a cold or anything have you? I had a cold a couple of weeks ago, but thought it had cleared. Random. I'm not sure if you have a history of asthma Rich, but if it starts getting too uncomfortable and makes you cough, you might want to go to the dr to get checked out. No history of asthma, but it is uncomfortable and making me cough, so maybe I will go see someone about it. Bit wary of getting too much medical attention at the moment though - having the cyst thing on my face cut off tomorrow. It's covered by insurance, but it's about $1900! Hope your infection clears up Michelle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cool. So what are you up to now? Starting to get your masters project on the way or still waiting for your dissertation mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm trying to sort out my enrollment at the moment. Looks like I might have to wait until my dissertation mark is confirmed. The suspense is killing me! How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I see, hopefully you'll get your mark soon! I'm just on and off Tiri still, haven't been to Motuihe as much but there are about 20 bellbirds still there which isn't too bad. And while at home, I have to sort out my data. Today I watched some more of my camera footage and I got 334 male bellbirds coming into a feeder in just one hour. They are hungry little sauages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow! Action-packed footage. That's amazing for such a short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Indeed. But not so much action when a tui is around. They can't get into the feeder but they sure like to find a way. One tui spent maybe 20 minutes coming back and forth, climbing all around the feeder (even under it!) and just stood outside the entrance as if thinking of what to try next.
