1. Kim Gordon is now 50. It’s not quite time for Sonic Youth to change their name to Sonic Oldies, but in nine years’ time when Steve Shelley turns 50, they should consider it. It should be noted that Kim Gordon still rocks hard. It should also be noted that I went off Sonic Youth [...]

I saw “The Good Girl” at the movies. Right in the row in front of me was what I think was a grandmother and some of her grandchildren. Ok, so looking after the grandkids during the school holidays is cool, but when you take a bunch of little kids to see a movie (and these [...] I saw “Roger Dodger”. Here’s what other people thought of it as they left the theatre: The guy walking in front of me: “Like Tarantino used to do.” It was neither. It was about a fellow whose nephew shows up and asks him to help him be a [...] I won a $25 gift card by winning the Kiwi trivia quiz at Borders. I’m really glad I won, because if I’d come first or second I would have ended up with a book about tramping. A month or so ago I ended up doing the sports quiz with some friends. I miserably failed – something [...] Lately I’ve been getting quite a few emails from people who think I can help them with various things. I think it has to do with my site ranking fairly highly in Google for words that just happen to be mentioned in stuff I’ve written.

I think his dislike of that stems from the fact that Drew Barrymores’s character is named Dylan. This provided him with a bit of grief during the release of the first film, [...] Dylzno and I did some filming today. We’re making a short video thing about Auckland. My favourite thing was standing in front of one of the billionaire boats full of drunk people and saying “The viaduct is still full of wankers, but they’re loyal, America’s Cup-supporting wankers.” We saw a boat called Awesome. It had a [...] Today at the Mind Control Cult I discovered that I’m too attached to my possessions. The charismatic cult leader sang “My Funny Valentine”. I discovered my vision. Doesn’t that just sound fruity? Like, really, really fruity? It is, but in a good way. I saw “The Hours” today. I was trying to work out why Nicole Kidman [...] Last night I decided that I’d go to the anti-war march today if I woke up in time. This morning I was woken up by my neighbour talking on the phone outside my bedroom window. She was saying how she’d heard there was this anti-war march today, but she didn’t think that she was the [...] First, an email exchange: To: Robyn will you please email me a brochure of your chocolate rouses thanks. To: Pat Whilst the caffeine and sugar in chocolate can be somewhat rousing, I’m afraid I don’t know what a chocolate rouse is. Whether it’s a sexual term or a type of confectionary, or some bizarre concept [...] |
