Yeah, it's really good.

 

Quite a lot of good stuff on TV at the moment - not a NZ show, but I'm loving Castle. Intriguing and hilarious.

Nathan Fillion is <3

Why the fuck have U2 chosen Jay Z to support them in their NZ show? Do they choose completely incongruous support acts just to say to everyone, "Hey, look our diverse our musical taste is!" More diverse than their own musical range, I suppose.

 

But honestly, how many U2 fans like Jay Z? And vice versa? Since the tickets are quite cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if heaps of people got tickets just to see Jay Z and then fucked off. I'd get some satisfaction if that happened and the stadium emptied out a bit.

[Ghosty Ghost]

S'what I'd do! But really I don't think it's that weird of a combination, Jay is known for having one of the most amazing stadium shows and I think if you get a lesser act for a show like that they can get a bit lost in such a huge setting. Remember U2 had Kanye opening last time they were here, so that must have gone well enough for them to do something similar.

[_Ed_]

Yeah, I guess. Not sure why Jay would want to support them, though. Surely he's a bit past doing support slots. He could probably sell the place out himself.

Wait it just clicked, they must be planning to recreate this awkward shitshow:

Warning, contains rapping Bono.

Watching that made me exceedingly uncomfortable.

Get to stay in New Zealand next winter for FOUR WEEKS this time, instead of the usual two that my dad can get off work. More independence = win + more time with family.

Whereabouts in NZ?

Whereabouts in NZ?

 

My family all lives on the North Island (Hamilton, Tauranga, and Waihi), but I'm considering doing the Kiwi Experience with an American mate of mine. Is that too touristy, or do other Kiwis do it too? It's been over a decade since I actually lived down there, and it will be another decade before I do again since I have to do uni in the states.

Nah, that sounds like lots of fun.

[Davinq]

Now I've got to make the money. Airfare and the first two weeks are covered by my family, but after that it's out of my pocket.

[JoBear]

from what i saw, kiwi experience is quite expensive. i was looking at UK STA travel and couldn't believe the price of bus passes for intercity!

I had an awesome time at the Vic Open Day yesterday

 

Psychology looks reaaaaaally good, and the Philosophy lecturer was hilarious.

[_Ed_]

Unfortunately, the lecturer hilarity doesn't usually last.

 

They must use up all their material by the end of O Week.

[Ghosty Ghost]

Damn name changes

[_Ed_]

Yeah it threw me as well!

 

*sigh* This is not the best way to start a shift at work. My first show to work on is titled 'Extreme Male Beauty'. Now, I know it's wrong to judge something by its title, but I just get the feeling this might not be my cup of tea.

[_Ed_]

Good lord, there's penis footage!

Anyone who reads that post before the previous one could be a bit baffled.

My work isn't much better today - a documentary called The 200kg Kid.

[Shwissky]

So U2 can bring like the biggest set ever built over to NZ for just one show, but Muse can even bring there little towers over for a couple of shows?

[JoBear]

And how much do U2 sell their tickets for?

 

Don't think U2 and Muse are at all comparable.

 

Muse lost money on their 2004 show just coming to New Zealand.

Can they stop playing those fucking Otago uni ads already? Its bad enough that there's like 3 different versions, but gah they're so long. No one is going to your university based on that shitty ad!
