Hard News: #NetHui: it's all about you, in reply to James Butler,
OMGWTF, there are people who don’t rinse after washing????
Would a quick shower suffice? Or quick drenching with the garden hose?

Coming to this discussion rather belatedly but the mention of lobby corruption reminds me of an issue I raised at the Future of Public Television forum in Wellington a week or so back. I suggested that Sky employing Tony O'Brien as a full-time lobbyist representing their interests in Parliament was a case of "unusual influence" in NZ politics (deflecting potential regulation of Sky's monopoly position, for example). Several pollies there (including Sue Kedgely) didn't seem to think it was a problem but it is interesting that John Drinnan has also pointed to it as an issue worthy of attention.
Off the topic: we had a very good book launch for the New Zealand Film: An Illustrated History in Auckland last evening. If Wellington folk are interested in the Wellington launch on Friday, they should contact Te Papa Press for an invite.

It was via SiteGround and I did have to pay for it.

Jeremy: it is a different site www.cinemasofnz.info and very, very much at a development stage. Eventually, I plan for it to be a site on independent/arthouse cinemas around New Zealand--their location, history, audience catchment, unique features etc. Haven't had the time to develop it very far but I have been able to visit most cinemas in the South Island.

I have used . info for my new website, which has a nice neutral ring about it.

@Ian. Tony Marryatt. Hmm! You don ’t really want him in charge, given the shonky deals he wrangled when he was up this way. Tiny Emirate--great!

EC and Purple Rain..Hmm. Not sure. It just doesn't seem right, somehow.

Thank you so much for leading me in this direction, which meant I discovered all those wonderful Death Cab for Cutie vids.

'tis the season for moral panics. Had three calls from journos over the past 10 days, asking for my opinion on L. Gaga, youth drinking and girl-on-girl fighting. I tell them, 'don't ask me; ask my 17 year old daughter' but they don't take my advice.

Time to invest in a mandrill?
