  • Hard News: The new wave,

    just ducking upstairs to watch Peter Weir's Last Wave, again...
    Nature/Gaia has so many impressive ways of flushing out infestations and cling-ons to the bowl of life...
    ...maybe this is just a shot across the bows
    - we have been warned!

    Dot.con... a pointilist exercise?
    as far as the "authentic Aboriginal experience" goes, it does seem commercial interests would rather have the Gullible
    than the real Gulpilil
    (Peter Weir's Last Wave is one of my favourite movies ...
    Though Rolf de Heer's Ten Canoes is damn good too)

    Australia needs to do more than just say sorry...
    maybe they should ban white-fellahs from Alice?

  • Hard News: Invasion of the pagan matrons,

    Havana good time...?
    Surely Cuba street isn't gauche enough to be the "Left Bank"? or even sinister enough...
    ...though there is a lot of culture deposited on both sides of that river of humanity, this silting has created the overflow and braiding into the surrounding catchment - and at that point I'll stop dredging for metaphors.

    Buddy can you spare a Quarter?
    Maybe New Orleans-style Parishes might be grafted onto Wellington's social & commercial topography? - Parish in the the Spring... anyone?
    (or should we just go with arrondissements? after all in a city of Gov't departments - what goes around comes around...)

    Mantle as anything...
    re WOW and the one word "wearableart" - it may grow and become a part-acronym, part-portmanteau word for Women Exploring Arable Art - something for Federated Farmers Women's Division possibly?

    After the third time all the entrees start to look the same though.

    I'd heard it was a moveable feast for the eyes, I hadn't realised it had become edible as well... :- )

    if you are in Chch, or passing through,
    and were thinking of getting started on next year's costume entry a visit to Creative Junk is highly recommended - it has been the launch pad for many an entry over the years - and it is a community driven resource that has been going nigh on quarter of a century! Waste not, want not...

  • Hard News: Save the King's Arms,

    Venerable venue vanishes
    once upon a time
    deep down Christchurch
    way out in the suburbs
    back up close to the hills
    there stood a rockin venue
    made of sweat and wood...
    ... dreams blazing brightly
    formally known as
    The Hillsborough
    ...closed for years
    now ashes
    and dust
    motes
    in th'
    sun...

    yores nostalgically

    Throw yer arms around me...

  • Hard News: Detritus,

    Obscured by clouds...

    For amusement, compare the racy cloud for Chad Taylor's Electric.
    With the earnest, cardigan-wearing language of my book.

    Interestingly your cloud includes Race
    and Chad's includes Cardigan

    TV highlights from the flickering eras...
    I'm sure the fresh young minds of tomorrow
    would enjoy some of those old Country Calendar pranks - such as the "wire fence ensemble" and the "sheep with short front legs for hill grazing"
    - well they amused me...
    but it can be a fine line between
    nostalgia and neuralgia...
