Spy Fox Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Slightly related. We went to Wellington to see 'The Great Gatsby' at Circa, and the girl off the My Sky ad who's having a baby and quotes Titanic was in it. /starstruckinnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lensip max Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 dunno if a hallensteins ad makes you partiularly talented, though. But good on him for getting a start in something... No, but being recognised for your playwrighting, or your artistic abilities, or at sundance for your badassery, or getting signed to Flying Nun, or being in nicely successful bands already, does. Which are some of the things other people of mine have done this year. And for a number of years. My life is sucky and surrounded by extraordinary people.

_Ed_ Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 What was that, TV1 news? They had this story about how Warner Bros executives were driven around in Parliamentary limos, "costing taxpayers thousands". Now, I love to hate this government, but I just didn't think that was such a big deal. But then, as a tiny little aside in this story, they said the National government also gave the executives "full Customs facilitation". That is a much, much bigger deal than how they got around Wellington. It's also a dangerous precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lensip max Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Rocky Horror Picture Show on Sky Movies Greats. Never tire of it.I associate Rocky Horror with being 10 - which was when I first saw it. Also the first year I heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Ghost Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 The dvd of Rocky Horror has been absolutely pissing out at my work. It would be a pretty sweet xmas present though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy! Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I haven't seen the full Rocky Horror since I was about 8... I don't remember it at all! well, no, I lie, I remember the Time Warp scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 The scene I always remember clearest is the one in which Meatloaf is brutally murdered with an axe. I'm not quite sure what that, and my subsequent usage of the , says about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lensip max Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I bullet-pointed everything, but then I felt silly. Basically, a bunch of shite things happened this year, and whenever I overcame them, something new got thrown on the table. I totally thought I was clear with only a fortnight of 2010 left, but something new happened today and now I have to hustle to fix it before it fucks up everything for the rest of my life - and I'm fond of hyperbole, but I'm not exaggerating. The circumstances of my immediate family read like every house on Wisteria Lane - in every series - combined. And minus the voiceovers. I just wanted to work the next 2 weeks and get this year over with - I'm copy editing. The pay is wonderful and the work is neat and mentally engaging and it's the best job I've ever had. Thanks for the sadfaces and shiz though guys. Less than three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 There was a weird comment today by John Key about the upcoming by-election in Botany (after Pansy Wong stepped down). "We'll be looking for a similar result to what we had in Mana, which was solid support for the government." Um, John, you lost Mana. And don't give me that 'reduced majority' stuff - fewer people voted, and the left vote was split three ways between Labour, the Greens (who are enjoying increased popularity in Wellington in the wake of a Green candidate's win in the mayoralty there) and Matt McCarten.

lensip max Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 And a fortnight after the election, there are Iwi/Kiwi billboards up in Wellington again. (I saw one today. They make me upchuck a bit in my mouth, ngl. It kind of kills me that they're allowed to stay standing. And that tonnes of people don't see anything wrong with that.)
