So I've essentially been Nigel No-Mates lately but as a result I've been super productive in terms of using up all my black paint. PS, I need new black paint.

This is a Mouflon... a Cyprian mountain sheep thing. If you want to see it for realsies and you live in Wellington, head into Iona, the cafe in Dukes Arcade. It's up in there.

You'd have to come to my place to see this one. It's... well, obviously... Cat Power. Meow?

And you may remember me painting 4 pohutukawa flower paintings for mum? Well she had them lined up on the wall over the bed in one of the spare rooms and then she moved the bed. Now apparently she needs a 5th...

Who says I waste away days off sitting in my pyjamas watching Outrageous Fortune episodes?

Oh, well, it's a half truth.

28 April

Shit son, it's nearly May. I would be so sorry.. if anyone read this. But eh.

We're now fully ensconced in our new home in Newlands. Newlands has to be my favourite of all the suburbs now. For real. Apart from Tawa obviously... but for real. Mt Cook has it's perks... ok, no it doesn't. Except proximity to stuff, Mt Cook was a shitty shitty place to live. Eat me Mt Cook. Eat me Hankey Street.

We had a flatwarming (something I never managed to get together while with the multitude of Hankey Street losers) after being here for a fortnight. It went off like a firecracker. It was such a good time (mostly) that I have a hankering for another.

Anyway, if you want to see some exciting party shots... ... or something... click here to visit Flickr.

Or the house here

I've got a hankering to spend up large at Briscoes. I love Briscoes more and more the older I get.

I painted that as a joke response to my cousin's gift of an Oxfam goat for my 27th birthday. She missed the joke and thought it was a reference to my supposed dealings with Satan. Which kinda just makes it that much funnier...

Scuse me. Sorry.

It's been an eventful, and yet totally eventless couple of months.

We found a flat and will be moving to Newlands in just over a week. Yay for that.

My car broke on the way back from Auckland last week. I got it back from the mechanic today, $1050 lighter in the bank balance. But now I'm the proud owner of a new gearbox and clutch. Hu...rray?

My PC proudly died less than a week before the car. $233 later, I have a new power supply.

ANYTHING ELSE WANT TO BREAK??

Just my heart? For one week and one night ago... all my dreams came true and I saw the majestic, gorgeous and wonderful Cat Power in concert at the Powerstation in Auckland.

I've raved and gushed about it here (complete with an entire video!) and have put up my photos here.

Now, don't say I don't ever do anything for you.

I'm tearing myself away from a 90210-a-thon to write something in here. Yes. 90210. The acting is a trillion times worse than I remember it to be but I think that just makes me enjoy it more. And it's like studying for an exam. I'm putting in all the hard yakka (watching the horrible acting) for the pay off at the end (the special features). Single funniest DVD extra ever is the season 2 round up featuring those two comedians dudes at the diner. I literally cannot wait.

Yes, this is what life has become.

But it's been a big week for loved ones... my darling friends had a baby boy and one of my closest mates got married yesterday. Baby is gorgeous and she was a princess bride.

So congratulations all around.

Being back at work after over a fortnight of getting up whenever and napping endlessly was a lot tougher than usual. This past week sped by at a snail's pace... I can't believe it's Sunday afternoon already... uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... kill me.

I'm even boring myself...

I think Dylan McKay needs me....

Ha. That's the sound my phone makes when I get a text message. That's a'cuz I'm 12 years old. But also incase anyone who happens to read this site tried to contact me in the past week and had no reply - don't take it personally. Everyone was being ignored. New years sucks. Fuck the holiday season.

Don't get me wrong - I love not having to go to work, but I don't like the pressure to be, ya know... whatever.

Anyway, time is moving along and another painting has been done...

Don't judge me - it looks better itty bitty.

No news on the flat finding front. I'm still recovering financially from Xmas and the move - might take my time a bit longer.

Uh, well, thanks for stopping by.
