The Last Of
This morning as I waited for the lifts, I decided that the badong sound they make sounds an awful lot like the first note of this – the Clannad soundtrack to the Robin of Sherwood soundtrack. It is possible that I have ancient England on my mind as I’ve been reading The White Queen on my kindle […]

It is happening again
I like to tell people that I watched Twin Peaks when it first screened in NZ when I was 10, which is true, I did. It’s not a show for children, and yet it was my favourite TV show. The soundtrack was the first CD I owned. My sisters sent us taped copies from TV […]

The Girl in the Blue Bathroom
I’ve been thinking a lot about my funeral lately. Not in an “oh shit, Jo’s off her meds” kind of way, but more in a chances are I’ll die of a cardiac event kind of way (I am feeling my body’s mortality so much more since I fucked up my knee last year) and so […]

A cake shaped like a donut There was a Simpsons-themed pigout session at Lim’s (that’s Laura and Tim). 4. Pulled […]

Get ready to rock
Very quickly before Lisa gets here, I should tell you what I’ve been up to. Firstly, you are invited to this: I just spent $130 at Pak’n Slave on cocktail mixers and food for it, so you know it’s going to be good. Get in touch with me for the actual address cos it’s not […]

Rockstar: Supernova – Week Three
The reality episode on the interweb: Woo, it’s vocal coaching time, which means that Lukas gets all shirty and pretends he is more authentic than everyone else. Dilana freaks out and sings higher than she’s used to. Patrice is awesome. Soul Boy Josh annoys me. Then they fight over song choice. Soul Boy is all […]

Rockstar: Supernova – Week 2
These thoughts are going to be really scattered. So, I compared Matt to Michael Murphy earlier, but I really think his Duran Duran song was fucking awesome. But not what they wanted to hear. And I don’t want to write up every single performance, but can I just say that Jill Goia is hideous, and […]
