Dear John Key, people of New Zealand want to be proud Kiwis, with a not so shit flag, please.
In case you don’t get the above reference; our country looks like an arm, see:
Keisha Castle-Hughes Featured in THE WALKING DEAD
•November 4, 2014 • Leave a CommentI admit, I never watched the first few seasons of this show and I can’t say I ever will. Not that I need to. Season 5 has been telling some good stories so far, having detailed knowledge of the shows past isn’t necessary. Also, we like making a big deal when we see a familiar Kiwi on-screen:
Keisha Castle-Hughes (born 24 March 1990) is an Australian-born New Zealand actress who rose to prominence for playing Paikea “Pai” Apirana in the film Whale Rider (2003).
Prince’s Eight-Minute ‘SNL’ Medley ft. 3rdEyeGirl
•November 3, 2014 • Leave a CommentThe last time Princeย had eight uninterrupted minutes on national television, he was performing at the Super Bowl XLI halftime showย in 2007. While that gig featured greatest hits like “1999,” “Purple Rain” and Let’s Go Crazy,” Prince’s Saturday Night Live set featured tracks that were likely unknown to most viewers. It didn’t matter: Prince, his backing band 3rdEyeGirl and guest vocalist Lianne La Havas still delivered one of the most explosive and most polished SNL musical spots anyone has witnessed since perhaps when Chris Rock, the guest host, was still an SNL featured player.” ~ Written by RollingStone’s Daniel Kreps
I am loving “Another Love” so much right now — Classic, Prince awesomeness.
An Idiot’s Mansplanation on Catcalling
•November 3, 2014 • Leave a CommentOut of these three, guess which one knows what the fuck the real issue is:
CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield / Comedian Amanda Seales / Author Steve Santagati.
I love the way Amanda’s eyes subtly widen as Fredricka closes; “Clearly, it’s not over. Maybe this is just the beginning…” Who wrote that? It’s so stupid and ambiguous. FYI, it won’t be over, if you keep inviting antagonistic douchebags on air.

NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month [Nov 1-30] โ Write a Novel in a Month! Think You Can?
•November 1, 2014 • Leave a CommentThe world needs your novel! NaNoWriMo is an annual (November) novel writing project that brings together professional and amateur writers from all over the world:
I have signed up, so I suppose you will be seeing a few encouraging words and writing tips on here. Good luck to anyone attempting this creative feat of writing, and, focus, that I seem to have trouble with at times. Errr… (Not a good start, Fin) TODAY, I WRITE!!!
“And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poetโs pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
~ William Shakespeare (A Midsummer Nightโs Dream)
I can’t say I like the layout of their website very much, but once I signed up and specified my location, I was surprised to find that there will be weekly meetings at a cafe in town, writing workshops and a few overnight writing sessions throughout the month. Not bad. I didn’t expect this would be that communicative. Wish me well Kurt:
I am just going to leave this here as a reminder to myself:
โIf there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet,
then you must write it.โ ~ Toni Morrison
