Superhero Costume Party

So there we are, Lauren and I, dressed in our finest costumes for the super hero party.

It was a fun night, good venue (thanks to Megan and Sarah), good music (thanks to me), good company (thanks to everyone who made the effort to come dressed up, and thanks to those who where super anyway).

Well done to all the peeps brave enough to continue into town still in costume, The Bank has never looked that Super!!

The Times They Are A-changin'!!!

It is with saddness that I must report the passing of a dear friend - the spaceman candy stick.


First Georgie Pie, now this!!!!

Technically this bastion of 80's life for nz children, alongside k-bars and tangy fuits has not passed away, but it has been re-moddelled, re-branded, re-shaped and re-packaged.

Nothing was quite as cool as pretending to smoke on these. I decided to handle the jandle when they stopped colouring one end red to make them not look like ciggies,(bloody P.C. bandits!!)but this is the final straw!

I have purchased the last packet i could find with the old design, as a keep-sake. perhaps I should donate it to the Museum as a momento of my g-g-generation....

here is a link to a site that i commend for doing their bit to preserve the memory of this confectionery.

please register your disgust to

Carousel Confectionery Limited
53 Railway Road
Palmerston North

I'll try to find a pic of the new space GIRL on the packets, otherwise, head along to your local dairy to see this abhoration for yourself!!

Five Things About Me:

so after being "tagged" by Crystal to continue this blog-chain thing, here they are: 5 things you didn't (or may not) know about me.

1) I procrastinate. I've been told that i seem 'unflappable' and that "i always seem to have things under control". But, contrary to this belief there are times when i get so overwhelmed by what needs to be done that i stop dead and do ANYTHING to avoid what needs to be done.(like blogging)

2) I think that the music i feel most relaxed and happy when listening to is actually Fleetwood Mac. I don't know why, and maybe that's part of the appeal.

3) I have worked at an Oyster Farm. Driving a barge up the mighty Mahurangi River, harvesting the oysters off their wooden grow-stick-thingees, then standing next to a conveyor-belt sorting the oysters for selling. seems like a different world really.

4)I like old comics. kinda. not in a geeky way. but i recently bought the first Tin Tin comic and Lauren bought me Asterix the Gaul for my B'day. I guess it reminds me of a simpler time in Primary school etc.

5)I wish i could time travel.I reckon it would be THE COOLEST THING to pop back in time for the weekend.

okay and a random Top 5 to (nearly) end with:

Top five weirdest things I've worn:

1) a Pumpkin Suit. in the Rockquest. at the regional finals.
2) a Can-Can dress. at a variety show.
3) a bread-bag. over my leg in a cast. at Mt Ruapehu.Age 4.
4) my new-new T-shirt and my new-new shorts (sorry, family in-joke)
5) a Spice Girls T-shirt. to a school Mufti Day.

Random Photos to end with:
