Jackie DeShannon - Put A Little Love in Your Heart

the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth...







The standard saw in New Zealand is when you no good at pottery or counselling then try film making.
No 2 is that any film maker in New Zealand given a free trip to Paris for a month would spend it in their hotel room reading Proust.
hahahahaha.
ya get that on the big jobs.
and
hows this for whatever.
the two female columnists for the SST both said that 2018 is th eyear of living dangerously.
simultaneously.
yeah right.
what do they mean by that.
eating garlic ice cream
taking the bus.
shopping at the warehouse.
whatever.

hairy mclairy from donaldsons fucking dairy...

Big ups to Kate deGoldi in todays sst who said that she is tired of kiwiana in kids books.
once you have read one you have read them all.
yep.

The incontravertible  fact is that KIWIs lack imagination and if you have any it is thrashed out of you and these kiwis who write these books want to be KNOWN as an author first and foremost without doing any hard work.

Big downs on Jack Barlow for giving midge marsden 5 stars  for his best of collection in todays sst.
The Rolling Stones got 3 but Jack decided in the usualkiwi way to kiss arse.
Midge has always been a noise band.
Not much subtlety but loud and good at impressing deaf carpenters and motor mechanics.

Ups to Mikey Havoc for his observation that while TVNZ would not play his doco they played the one with the man with the worlds biggest testicles 3 times.
Hey mikey you must have missed the one with the siamese twins fucking!

last day of the year...

Just like any other day except the busses and trains have stopped running and all the shops closed.
thats okay.
time for some reflection and kickback.
watched Quizmas 2017 on tvnz last night and it was genuinely funny.
good humour and very well done even though for some strange reason I have never got off on some of those people but they redeemed themselves last night.
Best thing on teevee was clips from kiwi shows.
the clips were great. the shows not so much but there ya go.
skies are cloudy and the sun is not beating down too badly.
Its not stifling like the heatwave before christmas.
threw out the last of the roast chicken and a magpie sswooped on it and the lil sparras had to wait their turn.
way of the world.
the rich get the prunes and the poor gets the shits.
read Jubal Sackett for the umpteenth time and The Uses of The Past by Herber J Muller. I am not a professional historian but it is good to read a work that ties things together in a way that many theses dont.

I got An Economic History Of The United States by Ronald Seavoy on interloan before the holidays and it has to go back on Friday so I am going to revise that.
Interesting take on subsistence labour norms, commercial labor norms and the rise of the consumer economy.
He claims that what peasants want is indolence rather thana full time job in a factory or day labour for someone else.
I think that makes me a peasant.
hehehehe.

exploitation of the earths resources for the satisfaction of  insatiable consumer greed will not go on forever but peasants will.

Happy new year.
