Subversive writings, opinions, thoughts and more, from a Scots-New Zealander. Friday, January 25, 2008. Yesterday, I had lunch with my good friend Anyzoom. At the C-1 café to celebrate coming to the end of his study, and having just been to a very positive job application.

We will either find a way or make one.". I believe there...

Subversive writings, opinions, thoughts and more, from a Scots-New Zealander. Monday, January 31, 2005. And so I'm 23. This is not a big deal. When someone asks me my age now, I have to think about it - "What year was I born, again? After you're 18 or so, age seems to lose its relevance. I'm getting older. Some of my workmates are nearing their 30's and are getting a bit pensive. The landlord's wife has reached late-middle age and is plainly freaking out. She has dyed her hair jet. Don't you know.".

Subversive writings, opinions, thoughts and more, from a Scots-New Zealander. Monday, December 27, 2004. I am a relative newcomer to blogging, and as such, have been clicking the 'Next Blog' button frequently in order to find interesting blogs and like-minded (or even just -minded) people. I have a few observations:. There are a staggering number of people who posted to their blogs on Boxing Day. There are a lot of what I will call 'spamblogs' - that is, blogs containing nothing but advertising content.

The Incomer: When is a U-Turn not a U-Turn?

Subversive writings, opinions, thoughts and more, from a Scots-New Zealander. Friday, April 04, 2008. When is a U-Turn not a U-Turn? Oh, the irony: Former NZ Prime Minister Mike Moore is to chair Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman's charity. Perhaps now he can undo some of the damage he oversaw in his previous position as head of the WTO. Probably not, though. Posted by J.L. at 8:51 PM. Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand.

Subversive writings, opinions, thoughts and more, from a Scots-New Zealander. Sunday, April 06, 2008. Last week I happened to be out driving home from a friend's place at night, when I came upon a car crash. While I had been surprised by the accident, I wasn't surprised at who had been involved: Young "car enthusiasts" (read: boy-racers). Out on the town for the night, showing off their "performance vehicle" (read: wrecked hot-hatch). To girls dumb enough to get into the car with them. Even given that th...

The Incomer: April 2005

Subversive writings, opinions, thoughts and more, from a Scots-New Zealander. Saturday, April 30, 2005. Geez Everything has gone to hell this week. To relieve the tension, I am reading 'Catch-22' by Joseph Heller. This is fiendishly funny! Heller captures the niceties of avoiding your superiors, and ably describes how one may best shirk one's duties. Incompetence and indifference hold reign, and hilarity ensues. And what can you do sometimes, but. Laugh at how dumb life is. 'Catch-22'. Support all the gr...
