So I found a job, and a flat. Joff bought me an android phone, and I’m finally sleeping in a few bed. Shit is still shit but there isn’t much I can do there. Xo Comedy festival has been been awesome, I will write something substantial when I have Internet at home Read more →
When the week cannot be any worse.
I feel like this should be drawn in my brain, as the worst week I can imagine, I fear that the year is not yet done with me, and I don’t know what to say. To realise and face up to the truth, That one’s parents are not invincible, like you think when you are young, That they break just… Read more →
Christchurch I love you, but you’re breaking my heart
Today I received news. The first of my ex-CTV colleagues to be declared deceased from the Feb 22nd Earthquake. I guess I knew this was bound to come, but nothing can prepare you for the feeling when the news actually comes. I don’t know what to do or say right now. Listening to radio comedy to try and cheer myself… Read more →
So… 12 months, 1 week.
It has been just over 1 year and it has been just over 1 week. I feel like I should write a few things. Just over twelve months ago I was sitting in an unknown house, unable to understand what was happening around me, with no water, power or proper food.

They decide the best way to do it is to break into… Read more →
Movies about Music: Satisfaction (1988)
Satisfaction is as typically mediocre teen 1980’s movie as you can get. Its about a rag-tag group of teen girls who have a rock band called ‘Mystery’. Their plan for the summer is to play as the resident band at a beach side town. Their keyboardist has split, so they take the nerd boy Nickie who lives across the road… Read more →
Movies about Music: Bandslam
I don’t know if I should hate myself for watching a Vanessa Hudgens movie. I guess I can admit to once watching Camp Rock when it was on the TV. I guess if I’ve stooped as low as the Jonas Brothers, Hudgens is only a small step away from that. Anyway, its 4am, but a bloody cicada has got inside,… Read more →
