And so it begins. Hello / Kia Ora from Auckland New Zealand.
Whats the aim? Who's the target? Language is a virus, said Mr Burroughs. Playing with words is the best fun. From William Gibson to Kraftwerk, there's still fun to be had with the english.

... And then we have the abomination that is the NZ Herald's television coverage. They seem to think it is acceptable to preview a show by writing out the whole plot, which, if its a comedy, means they give away all the punchlines before you even see them. I've had to make myself avoid reading their tv section, in case they blow another storyline from something I want to watch. You could always make up your own tv programmes. Chad Taylor came up with a few recently, such as this one...
"Karen Walker: The Smell of Fabric
Three-part dramatic mini-series. Parker Posey plays Kiwi designer Karen Walker. Runs over three nights on TV1; part three postponed indefinitely by Wednesday night netball." How could you go wrong with Parker Posey? She's fantastic.
