NZ is so hot right now!

Courtesy of the Apple Website, I would like to introduce you all to Eagle vs Shark. One of the funniest NZ films in, like, ages.
A wry comedy that chronicles the quirky romance of two awkward misfits, Lily (Loren Horsley), a shy fast-food restaurant cashier, and her crush, Jarrod (Jemaine Clement, HBO’s One Night Stand: the Fight of the Conchords), an electronic store clerk. On the day Lily gets fired from her job at Meaty Boy, she musters up the courage to attend Jarrod’s annual “come as your favorite animal” costume party. The dressy affair sparks the beginnings of a romance as well as a small journey for the pair to Jarrod’s quiet hometown.

Business Time?


For those of you with your heads in the sand, or are just new to the whole internet thing, you have to check out Flight of the Concords. An awesome NZ folk parody group (they just won an emmy). They are huge on you tube, so have a look at all their hilarious clips.

There are some amazing blogs in this world, and some insanely talented people. Here is a blog that has some of the most crystal clear stunning photos I have ever seen. Don't understand a word of it, however the images transcend the need.

Blow up dolls - not always safe sex


ARKANSAS CITY (AP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.

"She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.

"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force,"said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene. Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blowup dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air.

Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him.

Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.

When asked for comments about the twelve dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

Puppies and Flowers rock

I love this blog.
The other day I was reading about the weird Germans and the cannibalism that they do (well gross generalization, however from the article I was reading, the defense lawyer made it sound so common place, that I assume there are restaurants) and it was icking me out, so went to good old google, and the first thing I typed into the search engine was a great blog to take your mind off things. Since then, I visit religiously.

Melbourne Trip



Oh my goodness, Melbourne was just as fantastic as I remember it was!
Caught up with the Cousins and Aunt on the first day which was awesome, then spent the Monday cruising on the Yarrah river and walking around City CBD.
