Dystrumpian - as in ‘we live in a dystrumpian present ‘ - if it isn’t already a word, it should be.

Final preparations underway. #BackTheBlackCaps

Last day in the story room, making up stuff for the West family and their associates to do. Been a long and crazy road. #westsidetv

Terrifying thought: in the event of a draw is there some stupid countback rule we can lose to England on? Scrum feeds won? Most kicks into touch?

I feel the best way to get over the Rugby World Cup is to rush to a bookstore and purchase Machete and The Ghost.

There’s a Paul Kelly song called Behind the Bowler’s Arm. Now I know what he’s singing about.

At the Pukeko in a Ponga Tree Cafe at Waikite Valley Thermal Pools, wondering how and why said Pukeko, essentially a ground-based bird in my understanding, got up into the Ponga Tree.

Messi. Wellington Phoenix. Just putting the possibility out there.

Normally have a lot of time for Paddy Gower but boy is he making a hash of this debate.

T and I making playlist of songs that name drop real people in the lyrics. Go.

The Smiths and Caughey’s #MakeABandNZ

At the dinner table pondering the idea that the ship in the canal is actually an act of ethical terrorism where you deliberately crash the ship and no one gets hurt but shit gets fucked up.

Thank you Auckland.
