I know I'm going to regret saying this in about oh... two months' time, but bloody hell I am well over summer, especially the kind of late summer weather that drags on into autumn down here. Sick of the still enough UV to burn you days, sick of too hot for blankets/too cool for just sheets nights, sick of the groggy worn-out arsehole little bushflies that invade and settle on everything whenever you open the windows, sick of the zit-o-genic humidity. I hate the way this weather fucks with my popcorn yield. Autumn needs to get off my lawn and we're only half a month into it. Be winter, or GTFO.
| All this sounds like grotesque meteorological entitlement when one considers poor Vanuatu and its neighbouring islands to the north of NZ, since they've just been scalped by cyclone Pam. Maybe Shell and BP can help pick up the tab for the extra special intensity they've been treating us to. If anyone reading this works for one of those carbon-pimping bastards, please hit c o n t a c t and tell me how you sleep, because I'm interested to know. Something I don't hate are my Costata Romanesco zucchinis, which have decided to put on a late showing. Spotty, stripy, tasty and ribbed for our pleasure. Not like that; I mean in cross section when you go to fry them, obviously. More than eight good inches and I tap out, anyway. Ha ha! Cucurbitaceae-based innuendo: you knew it was coming.  |  I think there's another lipstick review this week, MAC Photo, because I'm down with brown. But I might change my mind. The site will probably be review-heavy for the first half of autumn; we're stupidly busy getting exterior shit under control in time for winter, when I can bust a more creative nut, so to speak. |
This week in music- Portishead, Only You. Love it but it fucks me up every time, to the extent that I can only tolerate it in summer when it doesn't collude with any seasonal affective bullshit. I've learnt this the hard way about a number of things that are dear to me. This is the Roseland live version (I apologise in advance for all the industry douchebags in the crowd here) because the awesome Chris Cunningham video isn't on Youtube, fuck it all.
You can see it on Vimeo, though. It's worth a look if you haven't already.
I love the way Beth holds herself. She makes me believe.
