airport alphabet

next time you’re on the way to somewhere and you have a number of hours to kill, might i suggest a little game of airport alphabet? check out my recent game here: airportalphabet.tumblr.com. created because i had the time and needed to spend it doing something creative. i managed to get the whole alphabet, then (halfway through uploading) realised i was in the wrong terminal at charles de galle (and if you’ve ever been there, you’ll have an idea of how disastrously this story could end), so i cut my...

postcards from montreal

dear friends, my heart is full to bursting because of tiny jewels, of happy accidents: chance encounters, random crazy moments of what-the-fuck-just-happened, feeling my heart change beat to sing in time to the drummers in the park, noticing the sound of the tap in the kitchen dripping and the hum of the refrigerator in the corner, finding the best coffee in the neighbourhood and making new friends of strangers. magic lies in places like this. the discovery of a new friend via the blog world that leads to a meeting,...

postcards from amsterdam

dear friends, i love amsterdam. it’s one of only two places i have found in my travels (so far), that i would live (aside from my homeland). we stayed in a funky hotel just a 10 minute train ride from the airport; also conveniently located next to a tram stop that ran straight into the middle of the city [a number of] years ago i might have seen the appeal of sitting in one of the many cafe’s the city is famed for all day getting stoned, but not any...

intention

calling on the four elements: earth, fire, air, water. lighting a candle to honour my intention my writing for 21.5.800 is private. it’s a conversation i have chosen to have with myself as i realised earlier on this month that i had been spending so much time following what others were saying and doing that i’d forgotten what my own voice sounded like. so i retreated somewhat. and decided that 21.5.800 would be about me. and an experiment in communicating with myself via the medium of technology – namely my...

postcards from toast nz

we don’t usually go to toast nz events as they have a reputation for ending up full of drunk nz’ers; however we were attracted to this event because we would be spending it in fine company. going with such fabulous friends definitely was the highlight of the event. other highlights included: the polo (england vs. nz which sadly we lost by one goal) the ngati ranana maori culture group (singing songs i knew the words to, and doing lovely poi) nz wine in the sunshine pies (and lamingtons) and the...
