discussing trivialities: advent and adventures
http://deeplytrivial.blogspot.com/2011/12/advent-and-adventures_05.html
Monday, December 5, 2011. But it's been a long year. We really need that seemingly endless summer to start right about now. The kids - all the kids, but I guess I'm speaking about mine in particular - are tired. That long third term means that the whirlwind of end-of-year stuff is squished into 7 weeks - prizegivings, assemblies, end-of-year masses, concerts, performances, picnics and discos. Last night F (9) and Z (7) were required in the city from 7-8pm to rehearse for GLOW. On Te Wero Island. The kids...

Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Taonga Tapu: my subjective postion. This is, I guess,a continuation of my previous post - because what will follow is me stating my subject position and contextualising why I think, feel and respond to the Te Papa story in the way I do. I'll stop. You get the picture. For me, the past is palpable. And sacred. Things people have made, loved, touched, preserved, discarded - these things are powerful and carry within them the wairua of those who have interacted w...I am a femini...

discussing trivialities: November 2011
http://deeplytrivial.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. What to do this weekend. I loved Auckland (New Zealand, in fact)during the months of September and October. A sense of burgeoning, tentative city-hood was almost tangible: Wynyard Quarter opened, and we were there, three kids in tow, to walk the windy bridge and wander over to the Viaduct past art and playgrounds and super yachts. The Art Gallery re-opened, and we were there, with those ubiquitous three kids delighted at the gorgeous kinetic sculpture. Then the roads closed ...

discussing trivialities: March 2010
http://deeplytrivial.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Today, Wednesday 3 March 2010, is new beginning. Yesterday I quit my job. (obviously I have to work out notice yadda yadda yadda so I'm actually still at my desk) But today signifies the start of the next four or so years of my life: researching and writing my PhD. I'm looking forward to it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A cat of impossible colour. Inside a black apple. What I wore today. Auckland, New Zealand. View my complete profile.
