Tough Like The Ukelele

[#] posted at 10:42 am (GMT +1200)

One of these days I'm gonna remember to drive to auckland a little earlier than I plan myself to. Not that I was late in coming up yesterday, amazingly, I turned up on time, early in fact. But along the way, I had to abandon the idea of stopping off in Pokeno for some kick ass Pokeno ice cream.

Everytime I drive between Auckland or Hamilton, it's either late at night or on a tight schedule where I would have no time. I just seem to keep remembering tending to stop off there as a kid and eating some totally awesome ice cream, and my growing fear is that one day I'll finally manage to stop in one day and it'll be too late and the two shops side by side that sell competing ice cream will be closed. That and it'll be filled with zombies.

Anyway, as it turns out the workload on this job is far easier for me and I'm having fun not having to stress outside of whatever the job is. Last night was a rehearsal for the show that seemed to take far longer than it should have, well not really, as it was a dress rehearsal, but jaysis, the jokes and stereotypes of the awesome intellect of models is pretty close to true. Aparently its tough not to walk out of the light on stage and to walk in a circle or straight line or whatever they're asked. But maybe I'm being rough, my standards of tough are based on how I can disarm bombs with my teeth and shoot down choppers with rocks. Manly!

Well, about to make an impromptu music video for King Kapisi, cause that's what you do, then work on this fashion thingee and afterwards meet up with people for more drinking. Awesome.

Update Your Goddamn Blog!

[#] posted at 2:19 pm (GMT +1200)

Or so I keep hearing.

Been one of those weeks of busy. Actually, really busy. Still is sorta busy, but compared to the last several days, its all now a cake walk. And really, its not that hard to post something on here, I've just been lazy.

But lets see... got a new ipod which I've always been semi hesitant about, but caved because my current mp3 player had turned to shite and is now worth more as a paperweight. The ipod is great and I've always suspected as much, but I still hate itunes with a passion, but found an alternative program, so all is well in the universe.

About to head up to Auckland. It's for work, but really, it just fits in quite perfectly with my drinking schedule this weekend... te he.

But yeah, rather than drabble on about nothing of consequence, but still feeling ashamed I've not posted anything in a while. Here's a bear riding a bicycle.

So I've had this blog entry window open for several days now with half an entry filled in, but just haven't gotten around to finishing it or posting anything throughout the whole week. Been busy with work and more work and all sorts and only now I'm starting to get some down time, so this is now a quick recap post instead.

Went to the Down by the Riverside premiere screening on the Friday which was very good and a nice audience to watch a premiere with. Funny seeing a feature made by friends in the same cinema we watched each other's uni projects in several years earlier.

Caught the cast and crew screening of Pictures of You which was also an interesting experience to see it put together, but I've still got notes on certain aspects that still need tinkering and fixing up.

The rest of the time since then, I've been working every night and then working some more on an editing job, which hopefully, will come to a close today and thus leaving me the weekend to get very, very drunk indeed.

But anyway, that's probably the quickest weekly recap post ever, here are some youtube videos of awesome...
