so i made my deadline which pleased me muchly and most of the albums were pretty good. New Zealand music is the one and if you haven't heard the Mint Chicks yet go. Go now. Go now to your nearest record store and buy it.

And if you can't get it beg. Beg on your hands and knees. Beg your local record store manager to buy it.

I woke up this morning and stumbled into a screaming match. So i joined in and screamed at the top of my lungs "YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT" which caused all the participants to burst into fits of laughter. It was a nice way to wake up. It kinda reminded me of yesterday when one of my work mates couldn't find a couple of CDs that she really needed and threw the Yellowpages at the wall. I tried to get her to throw a chair out the window.

So it's now 10 o'clock on a dreary day in Auckland and i'm trying to write however keep getting distracted by the site. i've just been commissioned to write a story on the Royal New Zealand Ballet's new production Dracula. I think the mixing of something so pink and innocent and seemingly pure with something a little more sinister will make for a great article. If only i could get the words flowing.

Oxymoron of the day:
