The art exhibition was fascinating, not only the art, but the attendees. I spotted not one, but two dead-ringers for Mr Bean. I wanted to ask for a photo or go all paparazzi on their arses, but it was decided it was a classy ‘do and three glasses of wine and a square of pizza [...]

Do you mind?
My best friend is involved in an art exhibition being held this week in Auckland. I’m super excited as I’ve been invited along to the opening tonight, got my name on the door and everything. That’s how we roll… ‘Do you mind?’ is an exhibition and publication of new artworks based on research projects specific [...]
Girls night; the winter edition
No-one likes to go out and be social in the cold weather. So the girls and I decided a cooked meal, wine and some good ol’ girly goss would be the perfect event for a winter girls get-together! Of course, because he’s my fave, I decided on a JamieO themed meal. I use the term [...]
scorching, sunny, Sunday summer series
the photo series: sober in the beginning. “lipton ice tea” aka our vodka & wine punch. my sister and her boyfriend. such a stunning day! VIP pass… woo! with the Jager moose. with the cute cop. the lipton tower… fail!
Wednesday night ribs, chips and beer
No knives or forks invited. I organised the crowd (+ a couple extras, 12 in total) to meet up at a local Belgian beer cafe for Wednesday night ribs, chips and beer. It was a good way to catch up with everyone before half of us jet-set overseas and the half head off to their [...]
twenty-five; it's not so bad if you say it quick like ripping off a band aid.
Twenty-five. Half-way to fifty. Quarter of a century. No matter how you say it, it sounds old. But I still got asked for ID three times this past week, so I’m stoked! I remember when I was younger I used to think I’d be nearly getting married and settling down by the time I hit [...]
girlfriends, chocolate martinis and comedy shows in the city
Yesterday, like most days, I was Twitter-whoring when a message popped up from Joe and Jesse (aka my pub quiz buds) about Jesse (and Mark’s) stand-up comedy show, Romantic Comedy, saying that they had some tickets available for the show that night. I was originally meant to go to a girls night with my sister [...]
It's been a crazy week, with ACTUAL crazies in cameo appearances
I am tired. I am not going out and being social tonight. Tonight I think I’ll rent a season of Black Books and sit in my pyjamas and enjoy it. In my previous post I shared the list of events for this week. Typing them was tiring, but living it… exhausting!! My sisters graduation was [...]
A sausage & nuts kind of day…
Yesterday was simply; man day (you’ll see why I’m calling it man day soon enough). Typically in Auckland fashion, it was raining, as it always does when there are events on! We (8 of us; 4 female, 4 male) started the day off by meeting at Shane’s place at 12.30pm so we could re-group and [...]
I pity the fools who bathe in you
Purchased! Yay. My friend Toni and I are off to see Duffy live on March 31st. I have to be good for the rest of the year and save my little heart out for the UK and Thailand (if I still do that trip for New Years 2009/10 – I’m thinking I possibly will).
