Kinky Boots/Mr.T

For a while I was obsessed with novelty songs. It didn't last long. The novelty, did in fact, wore off. This is one the songs I was obsessed with. The part I find most disturbing/distressing is when he says sexy little school girls and it has a picture of innocent little kids.



Luckily however you can wash it away with Mr. T

Dunedin Fringe

About to do two shows, why don't you come to both. I think they will be good

The year has only begun

Jeeeeeeze, The year has been ticking by and there is still a lot to do! The earthquake has put me into a more questionable situation  than before. Luckily however I have always planned to be largely self-employed. Still waiting to see if it will pay off. I have some ambitious plans for this year and I want to see them through. This may be my poorest year yet but I'm ok with that. I've never really needed that much. Tea, coffee, toast, paper and a pen is one way to make me content. The next immediate thing is the Dunedin Fringe with two shows, one a night time improv show about love, and another a weekend daytime show about fairy tales. I'm pretty excited about doing something different again and I think it will be fun to do. I'm also in development mode, I have a short stop-motion/puppet film that has been in the back of my head for some time that I want to start this year, a plan to make a visual novel with my talented friend Charlotte Adams, a puppet play with another talented friend Ruby Read, a few feature length film ideas that I will most likely do with a third talented friend Julian Vares a few ideas I want to do with Eli Matthewson, a comedy show that I will need to train for and another full length play I want to get running at the end of the year. Oh, yeah, and I want to start a cheap comic book.

CAN I DO IT??????

WILL ANYONE WANT TO SEE ANY OF THIS?

I made the video ages ago, and now I turned it into a music video for Jon, who now lives in Wellington. I think I will miss him. This has four of my good friends in it. I'm all about my friends at the moment. They ain't bad.

An earthquake hit my home town destroying our central business district, destroying people's homes and killing people. I'm lucky, my house seems ok and I didn't have to go too long without power or water. I'm boiling all the water and using my backyard as a toilet. Yesterday I heard them fixing the rails near my house. The road near my house is a main vein and usually you can hear the constant hum of cars. On Tuesday when it hit all you could hear was the traffic as both lanes were stuck in gridlock traffic as everyone tried to get home. These last few days you can't hear anything. It is a bit too quiet. The news tells me to stay at home, but I wish I could do more, but what can I do? You get the feeling that everyone is in a state of unknown. A lot of people are thinking of leaving. If there are no jobs from them why would you stay. The fact that the city in which I walk around everyday is now, well, gone, is strange. The fact that people are dead confuses me more. I want to reach out and help and make people feel better. Can you really do that through art? Maybe. I want to stick around and start creating things to offset all the destruction, I want to bring more joy into a city that has been my home for the last 19 years, in a region I've lived my entire life. But right now that seems futile. Will it ever really help? Peoples reactions seem to vary to it. Some people left, some people just stayed not knowing what to do, I saw people lining up at petrol stations that were closed, I saw a woman pile up a supermarket trolly with all the bread she could at 11am, while another just brought three packs of cigarets, I saw a woman close to tears just walking around at night. What is Christchurch going to be now? I go to Auckland tomorrow to do a fringe show, and then to Dunedin soon after that coming back to Christchurch in between. Feel guilty for leaving. After that I want to help Christchurch rebuild and recover. But how? What is it that I can do? I guess I will find out soon. I hope I can do something. Anything.
