Night walk In appreciation of the warmer weather tonight I went for a walk in the dark. There was just a thin sliver of a moon that seemed to throw out more light than it should. I could only see half the stars; one side of the sky was covered with a shapeless bank of grey cloud. There isn't a street light with a few kilometers from here, and the few houses there are in this valley aren't real big on outdoor lighting, which means theres always a good view of the night sky from here. Its a nice way to end the day... 8:56:58 PM    Comment []

mmm... surfer chicks. I just watched Blue Crush one video. Actually I bought the video. I was going hire it from Video Ezy in Nelson when on the way to the counter I saw an ex-rental copy for sale. Hmmm, hire it overnight for $8 for own it for $14? So I went through the boxes full of tapes for sale and bought half a dozen, some as cheap as $3. Now I'll watch them all a few times then take them down to the Hira store. The store used to have a video guy who came once a fortnight as changed the selection of about 20 tapes. He stopped coming because it wasn't profitable enough (I must be the only person in the area that rents from them). So now they are building up their own collection of videos for hire. I buy them, watch them, then on-sell them for the price I bought them for. Pretty slick deal, I think! and I get to keep them for as long as I like. Blue Crush has some awesome surfing footage in it. Makes me want to go out and get pounded into a pulp by 30-foot walls of whitewater (not). The weak story line was more than made up for by the relentless action and absurdly attractive cast! One video down, five to go! 7:54:24 PM    Comment []
