Today for dinner I went to Welcome. If you haven't been to Welcome Restaurant I recommend it. Big fan. Anyhow there was the owners 23 month year old child walking around the kitchen and while I was waiting for my order (I think 23, Tofu vegetables with noodles in a tasty sauce and a bag of mushroom jerky) she came out from behind the counter. She looked up at me and we stared off for a while, then I started to copy her hand movements. At first she wasn't sure what I was up to, Then she cottoned on. After a while of this she snapped her hand into her sleeve. I looked surprised and asked her where her hand went. She then smiled a giant grin and popped it back out. Showing it to me in triumph, I acted casual and relieved, then, her hand went missing. I think we played this loop for ten minutes. At the end of the game she had added in losing balance when she was missing her hand and we pretended to eat dinner with each other at one of the tables. Her dad became our pleased audience and seemed to be pretty proud of his social and inventive child. I would be too.
I'm glad that comedy isn't dead, I'm glad routines have new places to go, and I'm glad a 23 year old man can play a silly game with a 23 month year old girl like" where did your hand go, oh, there it is. Oh where did your hand go ect."
Hamish Parkinson does stuff. Here is some of that stuff.

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

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?
