Ride free Jools Topp, and love to you and yours xx

I keep meeting extremely awesome people who do amazing stuff and have come to AoNZ. We are so privileged to have them.

Excellent day with sun, a shouty protest, good food, a zoom around Zealandia, and some excellent company.

It may have made me cry. Tacos from Hot like a Mexican

Excellent day for it

I was 15 maybe, I hand poked it on the outside of my left knee with india ink. A double spiral and two stars. It still looks good for not far off 40 years old.

youtu.be/qMy9_-mqTw8 On RNZ just now, one of my most formative bands. I wish I'd got to see them live.

youtu.be/OMagU2Ztol4 Arab Strap again, with an excellent short werewolf movie to go with the song

I got a lamb shawarma from abrakebabra on the way home, and I'll likely pay later, but Dog it was good.

Chest piece completed 😎

I read an obscure piece of hitman fanfic and a lightbulb flicked on.

I challenge anyone to not smile when they see these astounding little creatures

Everything's perfect

To town! It is warm and grey.

Had climbing asparagus infestation dreams...

OK, I will admit that I'm currently feeling great after the gym tonight. It still sucks though.

It's really feeling like a Snowcrash timeline.

youtu.be/1VeBhMvzdKA Fuck I love Arab Strap.

A great article, and a needed read today

If there were people in opposition who were willing to go as hard headed and dirty as the Coalition does, they could win a shitload of otherwise disengaged votes by focussing on what is currently being proposed with the conservation amendment bill.

One of those days where there's too much news and it's all awful and overwhelming feeling.

Fark

Seymour, also 2021:

They need reminding of their hypocrisy. Nicola Grigg, 2021:

A moody sunset to sea, in apricots, washed out blues and greys

An elegance of eels asks where their sammich is

That's the water I used to drink :/ But stopped when I found out the nitrate levels a few years ago. And they are worse now.

I got up and thought about going to the gym this morning. I did not go to the gym.

Trapped in the last TV show I've watched. Explains a few things.

These legends are touring in a couple of weeks tidal.com/track/221145...

Made a cheesecake from scratch (gluten free biscuit base, yoghurt-ricotta- cream filling with lime, and a balsamic berry topping)

My soup is ugly but tasty

Haaaahaa! Excellent

Bacon hock farmhouse soup (the non barley edition) is on the stove, should be good to go tomorrow for tea.

I blame @dallasbarnett.com (thanks mate, great brunch accompaniment)

Post gig hot chocolate, as tradition dictates

Heading into Wellington city for something for dinner, seeing Regurgitator at Meow, and I got a last minute good deal hotel room, so it's like a mini weekend away :)

It really is a lovely train ride into the city

Afternoon chunes tidal.com/mix/0000ce8b...

Friday afternoon office work with Judas Priest

Tonight! Regurgitator!! Yessss youtu.be/XElRK0vzfk8

Feels not far from a frost

Hell yes. Very nice. I wish I could drink this all the time. When I could still drink beer I was a fresh hop fiend.

Huh! We have an apoplast

Just (still) dwelling on last week's 20 hours a day with Newstalk and Sky news. If the Broadcasting Standards watchdog is cut, that's what we will be seeing here. The FSU is already normalising awful stuff and is not being held accountable. Seriously horrifying

In other news, Keanu Reeves has just messaged me on a gay hookup app.

Just repotted my ridiculously long pothos (2m+) but worried now about transplant shock, and debating chopping it back for a juge up, and repropagating the bits.

Best film adaptation of the Odyssey. Wrong answers only.
