Voted today, which is perhaps a little earlier than you might expect, but there’s a chance we’ll be off at Mt Ruapehu skiing on Saturday, so we cast a special vote.
I’m still a bit of a leftie, had even considered giving the Greens my party vote, but their incessant beating of the GE dead-horse is terribly boring, there are so many other things they could be talking about.
Anyway, there you go. Party vote: Labour; Electorate: Judith Tizard.
Up at the crack of 10am to take George to the vet, last of his parvo shots, first of his lepto shots… And a bothering with a thermometer, poor boy.
Afterwards we treated him to another run-around in Gribblehurst Park, he likes to jump up on children and lick their faces, this causes them some concern, and us even more – it’s terrifying to consider the possibility of him nipping some kids nose, I don’t ever want to have to deal with that.
Some PHP work for a new client later in the afternoon, then Francois dropped by, we’re probably gonna go skiing / snowboarding in a week or so, and needed to think about that a bit… Which turned into a gigantically fat belly after popping in to a franchise Indian food place (which was actually quite good).
Oh, also got a new CF card for the camera (ostensibly for the ski trip), can now take nearly a thousand photos on the go, nice one. 🙂
There aren’t many things as cute as a puppy snoring.
Anyone like a big steaming helping of poison lasagna?

Also, I’ve started working on a new version of the-monkey.net, expect to see it shortly, I hope you don’t hate it.
I hope Startrek Nemesis is as dark as it looks, might actually be good, now that’d be a shock, wouldn’t it?
Oh, I managed to get out on the street on my new skateboard… Was fun, if a little scary… I need to tighten the trucks a bit, they seem to be set up for a small child at the moment. So I can roll around and stuff, which you might expect, and carve enough to get rid of a bit of speed… But I felt mighty unsteady as soon as the pace picked up even a little bit… Any wagers on how long before I plant myself in the road?
Men In Black 2, pretty much what I expected – fun.
Scooby Doo, however, is pretty much just stupid, I guess its kinda funny sometimes, but it would have been funnier (to me, at least) if they’d driven it into the gutter and gone a bit more adult, have Velma as the dirty little lesbian we all know she is, Shaggy & Scooby spliffing it up large and stealing shit to support their scooby snack addiction, etc.
