King Kong
Saw it.. it was good. What more can you say? Although, speaking as one who gets vertigo.. was it really necessary to use something so HIGH at the end? I mean… whats wrong with the ground… its nice and stable and you dont reach 128mph before you hit it from 6′ high.
the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe
Well I saw it. I thought the story was well done. C S Lewis is amazing, and even in translation to movie, alot of what he tried to say was not lost. Well done to Adamson for the storyline. I thought the effects could have been better, especially the CGI.. and I thought some of…
Christmas
Yay.. Christmas.. no holidays for me though, but never mind, i’ll live I guess. Going to go an see Narnia in a few minutes.. I’ll post a review after it… So far.. Boring Potter and the Boring Goblet of Boring.. was.. well.. boring. Narnia tonight.. King Kong in a day or so. Big shout out…
Christmas and the death penalty
Couple of things.. Christmas.. You know, despite all the other baloney, the western world celebrates Christmas because it is the birthday of Jesus of Nazareth. Alot of people like this holiday.. you get a day off work, governments get alot of extra tax, retailers make about 40% of their years takings around this time of…
bored
I’m kinda bored and keep forgetting to post here.. in other news, some wannabe hack named foamy pointed and smiled and somehow managed to start a trend that i seem to have fallen victim to. In other, other news, it looks like bird flu is coming. I’m going to Canuckia to live with Sliver.. sounds…
why become a christian?
A guy at work asked me this.. man.. what a question. My answer was, that some time people come to realise their life has no purpose. That there must be something “greater” out there. Not only that, but they realise they aspire to something other than the normal human drudgery, and realise they need something…
Ode to a Great woman
My Nana died this morning.She was in her 70’s and very ill. I remember her as this young 60 year old. I used to live with them, I’d come home from parties, and they would be up sitting out the back drinking and playing the Ukelele. Nana never said a bad word about anyone that…
New Government
Well finally.. we got a new government.. hopefully now my student loan tax will disappear.. but.. Winston Peters.. in cabinet? I dunno about you, I’m terrified. The guy is a madman… I’m a bit concerned at his sanity. Why do people get into politics anyway? Because they think they can genuinely do a better job…
The earthquake
Some people might rave on about how the world is ending and all these disasters are of biblical proportions and fortold and stuff.. But i’m not gonna. My heart goes out to those people. Those poor parents digging frantically for their kids in a collapsed school. I can only imagine the panic they experienced. In…
What is it with computers?
I burnt a copy of slackware linux… but it corrupted and wont install. So i reburned it at work. It still wont install properly.. So i installed mandrake, which I KNOW works, but it failed too. So its my CDwriter thats playing up, as thats what I use to install the stuff. Gosh darned annoying…
Finding Neverland
Great movie.. Never used to like Mr Depp all that much.. but lately I have to say… I am finding myself in awe of him. Gotta guestion… as an op of an IRC channel, I am asked to maintain a “family” atmosphere for this particular channel.Well… some people complain that we are too strict (the…
post election blues
Well we got ourselves a hung government.. Some things are clear to me.. 1. there are alot of selfish people who will take cash over whats good for the country.2. NZ (especially the Maori) dont believe we are ready to be “one people” just yet. And I agree. Question to Dr Brash, if you become…
Well its been awhile
Yeah.. its been a long time. Election tomorrow though. I’m gonna vote for United Future, in the hope that labour gets in, but they wont, so national will and I’ll end up with more cash.. so its a win win. 😛 You know, I cant understand how so many people live their lives the way…
pruning…
I’m an expert at pruning. Gardening in general really. If it involves a lawm mower, chain saw, hand saw, or weed killer – i’m yer man. I’d like to say I have a green thumb, but.. I dont 🙂 I dont even have a brown thumb… well actually.. I do have a green thumb but…
Million Dollar Baby
I watched this on the weekend. Thinking.. this has gotta be a load of rubbish. But it wasnt. I really enjoyed it. Especially the scene in the end where Clint is talking to the priest.. anyone who says Clint cant act.. well… he proves y’all wrong there. I feel sorry for the people of New…
TDZK
For those who dont know, its a game I play. www.tdzk.net. For the most part the peopel there are great, made some excellent friends. But.. it preturbs me. This is a free game. The people who administrate it spend countless hours and $$ to provide it for us. Rather than just say “oh you made…
Life’s a funny old thing
when i was younger.. I was a bit wild.I thought I would be dead by the time I was 30.I didnt want a wife, a house, or to save money for my future cuz I wasnt going to have one.I took more drugs, rode my motorcycle like a madman. Partied hard and all that stupid…
The Election Debate, Debate.
Perhaps I see things too simplisitically. Don Brash looked like a fool because he doesnt think it was “the right thing” to yell at and verbally attack Prime Minister Helen Clark in a debate. While she was doing it to him. Well. Yeah, he’s right. HOWEVER… He may lose the election because of it. Of…
