We’ve been trying to teach George some tricks, started simple with sit and lie down, and now he’s pretty much got ‘play dead’ as well. Not bad for a little baby.
His favourite flavour for today is fried bread (from The Bake Haus on Ponsonby Rd).

Soggy pizza, boxes.
The new Pizza Hut pizza boxes suck arse. They’ve started using 100% recycled cardboard… They’re readily distinguished from the old ones – they’re grey. And they sag. And therefore they don’t protect the pizza.
You’d think they could have tested them a bit, yeah?
Vector Shoe Gnomes
Okay, so I said there were 7… Now there are… None.
The Vector shoe gnomes have been and gone, and stolen all our precious shoes.
Apparently it takes four men, and two cherry-pickers, to take 7 pairs of shoes off the line. I guess this is where your line maintenance dollars go.
I wonder who complained.
Maybe ‘the man’ is reading my site.
The magical shoe line.
No sooner do I mention the shoe line, than another bloody pair of trainers appears. So, now there are 7. Eat your heart out bra fence.
Panoramas. Cardboard.
I’ve added a new section: Panoramas. They’re pretty big, and maybe a bit boring for most people, but I wanted to play with them, so there you go.
Also, George’s absolute favourite flavour of the month for August is cardboard.
All the shoes you can eat!
No change to the six pairs of shoes on the powerlines across the road from my house, the popular explanation is usually that they’re advertising a tinnyhouse, thing is, with so many shoes, so poorly targeted, how would anyone know which house to go to?..
I guess it’s better than graffiti.
I’m going to make a killing!
I’m spending all my savings on a trip to Vietnam, I’m going there to eat a dog, a rat, and a kitten… I’m hoping to set up as a tour guide, I’m going to call this tour the ‘Eat your pets, you sick fuck, but do it overseas so you don’t feel guilty, or realise that I’m gouging you like an-angry-Spanish-bull-in-Pamplona on the prices’ tour.
I’ll see you guys when I get back.
Polidrinks.
It turns out that beer makes politics fun.
Snowboard Trip.
Okay, here I am, just finished our first days snowboarding, and I’m taking advantage of Pukenui Lodge’s free ‘net access…
Taken a few photos, but was mostly too busy falling over and hurt myself to bother…
Right now I’m looking out the window at a spectacular sunset over the mountain – well, the spectacular colours are over the mountain, even if the sunset itself isn’t… Happy.
Listening to one of the staff guys lay all the tables ready for dinner.
Sore chapped lips. Blah blah. Please forgive the fractured nature of this update – I’m using PuTTY, and the interface isn’t really conducive to good editing, or whatever.
Bet you wish you were here, but you’re not, sucker.
Maybe next time, yes?
Ready to rock!
Yay, fun!.. I’ve just booked our accomodation for the Ski / Snowboard weekend down in National Park, looks like we’ve picked a good weekend too, with the forecasts now saying YUM! (hope that holds)
Shame the queues will no doubt be appalling – apparently a 20 minute wait isn’t unknown, it’s years since I last went skiing, so I don’t remember how long we had to wait back then, I remember it sometimes being quite boring, though.
Of course, queues will probably be the last thing on my mind, as I have no doubt that I’m going to suffer some horrible injury after careening out of control. Woohoo! 🙂
Staying at the same place we stayed at last time we were down that way – Pukenui Lodge. Here’s a picture or two from last time.
