In the same building as Richard O' Brien. Gasp.

For the last 1.5 years I've been running the Tāmaki Makaurau Open Music Hub, a place for music and music adjacent people to do the boring stuff, the admin behind the job. One thing I kept encountering from the beginning is, 'Man, I wish we had that for fine art, movies, theatre, events, writing!'

Love making little quote tiles. I've got a huge doc just full of lovely lovely quotes/testimonials! ❤️ pocomoto.co.nz/product/atte...

Mildly depressing that I don't even get to the job interview stages of jobs I could do in my sleep.

But will her voice return before tonight? We can't be sure!

"Can I borrow your [tool] tomorrow?" This makes me happy! Of course. I'm all gadgeted up in crafty ways, happy to lend out ma shiz. Community ftw.

Auch für alle potenziellen Deutschen Urlauber in #Neuseeland. Nicht mehr so schön hier, unsere Meere sind wortwörtlich voll Scheiße, und am liebsten möchte die Regierung unsere Ureinwohner loswerden, und langsam bringen wir alle coolen einheimischen Tiere um, weil: Geld.

Post gig finances! Four parties to reconcile! Bring it on, brain!

Did you ever find yourself at work, wondering if things were going okay for Josh Groban today? Weird.

Music at Whammy is so great tonight. Lucky me.

Engelbert Humperdinck will be playing Tāmaki Makaurau in June. He cracks me up. He took his stage name from a famous composer who was from Siegburg. If you look up Siegburg on the map and swerve ~2km east, you'll run into Stossdorf, and Hennef. That's where I'm from.

Dang, I'll be working while Laura Ramoso is performing. Can't have it all, but i would have enjoyed her much more than, say, the dude who made child abuse jokes all night. The stuff i get to watch... Rocky Horror it is. That's very nice, obviously i love that.

Every time I pack an order, I think to myself that I would love to pick and pack for other people, get their orders ready so the recipient loves it etc. Wish there was money in that in Aotearoa, but I don't think it'd be affordable for Kiwis crafters. I'll have to mull it over.

Just added, casually, while working. pocomoto.co.nz/product/dump...

I see it as a win to be in the same building with people I think are cool. I don't have to see or talk to them to KNOW that for these few days, we're on the same team, and that without them, I wouldn't be here, and vice versa.

Special security measures in place for JG. His fans have got to be bonkers for that to happen.

"Am I right here for the Josh Groban rehearsal?" Nope. Wrong place.

I'm in a room in which only a few hours ago there were 2 people I would have literally had a hard time over not losing my shit when meeting them, and I'm feeling weird about it because I never lose my shit over meeting anyone. I feel mildly confronted having to acknowledge that I may be a fan.

I find this timeline we're in incredibly triggering. 🤷

Really a STEM pin, y'know. pocomoto.co.nz/product/were...

I think I infodump more than yap... 🐸 Anyways, new pin! pocomoto.co.nz/product/prof...

Sometimes i feel like a single mum with some dude telling her off for trying to do her job as mum. 🤷

I suppose I could link to it! New front page! All the updates! pocomoto.co.nz

The website has been updated! FINALLY, this was pretty much in the making for 2 months, with a ton of procrastinating, admittedly. Now I'm just waiting for the error messages, ugh...

Sweet, just organised to hand-deliver some earplugs tonight, seeing that I'll literally cycle past their house twice around that time. Be silly not to!

Auckland Councillor confirms National cut social housing, accommodation in Auckland from 890 places to 39 in one year, and cut emergency housing grants by 70-80% ($20m). Since then, individuals rough sleeping in our city have increased by 100%. #NZPOL #auckland www.reddit.com/r/nzpolitics...

Do we have more paper wasps about this year than ever? Seems to be the case in my garden at least.

Instantly donated, in the name of N.

A reminder that I've got a bit of a fundraiser going on. I usually donate to Doctors Without Borders - all but the bank fees I pay goes right to them. Statement earrings, some very office-friendly, and some are more overt, available below. Watermelons = compliments. pocomoto.co.nz/product-cate...

Well, proper Italian tiramisu it ain't, but it's also not an abomination, and quite yum. Lil treat from Ekiben. Haven't been the happiest re feeling financially shafted by entities much better off than me, so I felt I deserved a tiramisu-oid treat. It's good to be back at work, I'm happiest here.

Stickers all cut, woo! I do everything by hand. Everything i package is packaged by hand. Assembled by me. Written by me. What's the point of anything if it doesn't have a human touch.

About to head out to work - I'll have 6h to get a ton of admin done - got to love doing stage door shifts!

Excito, first shift for the Rocky Horror Show at the Civic tomorrow!

Last one for the night: pocomoto.co.nz/product/plz-...

These are silly but they made me laugh. If you know an engineer, you might find this funny, too. pocomoto.co.nz/product/trus...

More plant-powered pins! pocomoto.co.nz/product/no-m...

New pin time! Things I do when having spare time! pocomoto.co.nz/product/girl...

go have a look at the moon it looks like a picture 🌙

Vigorous self experimenting on myself shows me that i heavily lower my heart rate while singing. That's got to be why i inadvertently sing all the time, to calm myself down. I'm quite anxious pretty much at all times...

Looking for happy things. Like, it only took me 5 minutes from my house to Aotea Centre by bike just now, work all traffic lights green. Cars effectively indicated, and dogs were all leashed! Earlier my dedicated bush area in the garden was run over by happy lizards. We give cicada shells.

Sore throat has cleared up, thank f. Not enjoyable. Hated wearing a mask, but that's what you do.

Sort of a day where you feel like you got financially shafted twice. Really sucks, I try to be honest and fair at all times. What a sucker I am.

Song Sung Blue was beautiful, cried my eyes out. Real people. Will now locate the doco. FFS true story sad beautiful BS. 😹

With direct thanks to Yotam Ottolenghi.

A pin that shouldn't even have to exist. pocomoto.co.nz/product/tran...

New pin, filed under "Biggest flaws of mine". pocomoto.co.nz/product/no-f...

Look, cicada, love ya, but please don't stay in my bedroom, because we'll have a problem later on when I'll very much want to and need to sleep. <3
