It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

Tickets for Rhys Darby booked

So excited! I love Rhys Darby. He is brilliant and his hair is amazing. AND this makes up for me missing him in Edinburgh when I was there during the fringe festival. Now if Simon Amstell tours here I can see BOTH comedians who were playing when I was there. I chose ghost tours over comedians and I stand by that choice, but it's still nice to get to see one of the ones I gave that up for! AND he's recording a DVD in Auckland *squeal*

Alone tonight because the girls are at a BBQ and I played the guitar and now I need to make headway on my social policy paper. Oof.

One week left. That is my mantra. One week left.

Meg Ryan, you have stupid hair.

I am trying to watch Kate and Leopold but Meg's stupid hair and her stupid stupidness are distracting.

Yesterday Ariadne and I decided to go out to explore the outside world. The neighbour decided that exact moment was the perfect moment to do something loud and mechanical in their yard. Cue Ariadne darting under the porch and me on my knees for two hours trying to get her out. Ooof. When she came out she was all dirty, but quite pleased with herself. Naughty little monkey.

Haha Hugh Jackman said one of his names was Thomas. No Nicholas in there though, damn!

OH. And researching things about homeless children? Quite depressing. I mean, I KNEW THAT but still :|

"It still stands! The world has changed all around it, but Roebling's erection still stands!" hahhahahaa oh Hugh.

I am on a computer at Uni. The screen is odd and curved and old and hard to see and this keyboard...I'm trying not think about what is living under the letters I am using to form what can hardly be called thoughts. Seriously. Keyboard trolls could survive for months on the detritus that is festering between the 26 characters in the English language contained in this keyboard.

...it's 26 letters, yeah? No sleep makes Lara something something.

BUT I had a lovely discussion about socialism and Why Americans Are Silly because they are resisting 'socialist ideals' for all the wrong reasons. I.E. YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, NEENER NEENER! or...whatnot. Socialist reforms, according to our lecturer, saved NZ's arse after the depression. They're not always bad. I don't think ANYONE is trying to make the US into a socialist country, just you know...one that cares about it's citizens. And my classmate was saying that in the UK there are a lot of similar debates. She mentioned Thatcher while talking about something else, and then she spit and I laughed. She said, "I'm sorry, I can't say her name without spitting," and I said, "you just reminded me of a dear friend of mine," and it made me smile. Spitting made me smile for probably the first time ever, as it is largely disgusting.

ANYWAY I am too far gone to actually expand on any of the other issues we discussed, but it was nice to have a RATIONAL explanation with someone about this crap. You mention it to someone in the US who has a differing opinion, and suddenly people are insulting each other's mothers. But dear GOD you guys.

Something's gotta give.
