random ramblings: April 2010
http://chiacreative.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Basically, I just blog about whatever crap is in my head that day. Wednesday, April 14, 2010. We have just come back from a whirlwind trip to Christchurch. Well, it was for a week, but we fitted so much in and saw so many people, that it felt like a whirlwind. Great fun - that is the way to break up the school holidays! I'm already planning my next school holiday trip, which I think may be a hybrid of back to Christchurch and down to Queenstown for a bit of snow. We have to have you sitting next to mum!

random ramblings: January 2010
http://chiacreative.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Basically, I just blog about whatever crap is in my head that day. Saturday, January 16, 2010. A bit of a trim. Well that was rather terrifying. I did my budget and discovered my present outgoings are over four figures per week. I didn't even realise I earned. That much, let alone spent it. And the even scarier thing is, I am not living extravagantly. I went over every item and most of it is necessary. Things like rent, mortgage, insurance, groceries, phone, petrol etc. . The petrol budget is $30 per wee...

What's the Story Morning Glory?: Two Months Down...
http://nightrave.blogspot.com/2010/02/two-months-down.html
What's the Story Morning Glory? Books, Movies, and all things similar. And about thirteen books read so far. I've tried for three years now to average one book a week for a whole year and despite getting very close, I've never made the goal of 52. But, 2010 feels like the right year to break bad habits and it's started well. Roll on more reading. Actually, let's up the ante and make the goal an even 60. As you can see, we live dangerously in this corner of the world. Wed Feb 24, 12:25:00 AM NZDT. Cold Co...

The Grass is always greener...: June 2010
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
The Grass is always greener. Friday, June 25, 2010. Wandering along the beach looking out towards downtown Vancouver. Not quite the same ring to it as New York New York, but I couldn't think of a single cheesy movie or song title with Vancouver in it. Anyone? So I made it to Canada! Only 15 days in this lovely country though, so I will have to return. I can't believe that I will be home in under 2 weeks. This trip has gone so fast! Hanging out with Megan. And it was an awesome night! Today Megan and I ha...

The Grass is always greener...: Rise Up
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2011/03/rise-up.html
The Grass is always greener. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Just listening to Dave Dobbyn's "Loyal" on the telly on the memorial day service for Christchurch. It is such a beautiful song that it always puts a wee tear in my eye. It is also a lovely song for the situation here in Christchurch. I never thought i'd go this way. It wasn't on the cards. But I'm happy that I dealt this hand. Won't you give my best regards. To Broadway and the big bright lights. I'm headed out that way. Sometimes I hear them say.

What's the Story Morning Glory?: Zelary
http://nightrave.blogspot.com/2010/04/zelary.html
What's the Story Morning Glory? Books, Movies, and all things similar. Very quick review here. Saw this again on TV the other night and if you've never heard of it then make it known, this film is bloody good. Poignant, sweet, raw, heart-breaking - all the best adjectives for this one. make a point to see it if you can. It is well worth the effort. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What's the Story Morning Glory?: The Legend of Colton H. Bryant - Alexandra Fuller
http://nightrave.blogspot.com/2010/03/legend-of-colton-h-bryant-alexandra.html
What's the Story Morning Glory? Books, Movies, and all things similar. The Legend of Colton H. Bryant - Alexandra Fuller. This book made me do something I have never done in my whole 35 years and which I'm still reeling from. I cried my eyes out in the last few pages of this book. The chapters are really short as well, 4-8 pages mostly, so it's as though you get a glimpse into a lot of different episodes of Coltons life and not a running commentary from childhood to fatherhood, which would've taken too l...

What's the Story Morning Glory?: Son of a Witch and Lost by Gregory Maguire
http://nightrave.blogspot.com/2010/04/son-of-witch-and-lost-by-gregory.html
What's the Story Morning Glory? Books, Movies, and all things similar. Son of a Witch and Lost by Gregory Maguire. Okay, I read these two books to kind of make up for the fact that I couldn't get my hands on a copy of his 'Wicked! Novel without buying it - this being a book for my book club this month. And I am so pleased I didn't fork over any money. I actually found a copy of 'Wicked! To be fair though, there is something in the story and I enjoyed the second half of the book, but that was only after I...

What's the Story Morning Glory?: March 2010
http://nightrave.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
What's the Story Morning Glory? Books, Movies, and all things similar. Rena's Promise - Rena Kornreich Gelissen. This is one of those rare books that should have the line 'everyone must read this' after the title. Truly it is an incredible read, more so because it is a true story, and you will feel despair and horror, hope and fear, as well as many more emotions before the book is over but the underlying feeling of all is amazement at the incredible strength of this amazing woman. Rena and Danka were als...
