Warmer today, huzzah! (edit: Nope, it's not, it just feels that way due to the fact sunlight today) Woke up early and went to Akaroa so the the Maintenance guy could work on the plumbing. He removed a couple of ceiling tiles so you can now see the plumbing. Kinda cool. (It's an old flat, but evidently this has been an on-going problem)
Morning TV Show Host: "So how well do you two guys get along?"
Musican *completely deadpan*: I love Shawn more than life itself.
Morning TV Show Host: Very well then I see.
Vocabulary Words:
Paua - New Zealand Abalone. The entire shell can be polished. You can get carved Paua jewellery too.
Blue Pearls Pearls made by Paua. Unlike normal pearls, they're kind of a half-dome shape because they're formed on the inside of the shell, not in the middle of the meaty area.
While in Christchurch, was talking about Summer Church Camp, we stopped at a red light. And realised that the licence plate in front of us read: "2 Kinky". -_-
Trip to Akaroa (about 75km out of Christchurch):
"Sheep!"
"Sheep!"
"Cows!"
"Look Ray! Sheep!" "I don't think he'd be interested" (due south joke)
"Sheep!"
*Interrupts conversation to point out they just passed a cow taking a dump*
"Bunny!"
"Sheep! Wow. Those need a shave.
In Akaroa, we stopped while passing by a picturesque little stream burbling over rocks with vegetation all around it. And a little bridge leading to someone's house over it, with a small platform with the sign "Lebon Accord Bungy" on it.
Hanging by a rope attached to the platform was a grinning rag doll, hanging from her ankles over the steam. Her skirt miraculously resisted gravity. o_O
Akaroa is a very French town (Christchurch is very English, Dunedin is very Scottish, Akaroa is very French) , all the streets signs start with 'Rue'. One of the big local attractions is seeing and swimming with the Dolphins, which are an endangered species.
The beach was filled with shells, a few muscle, oyster and snail shells, but mostly these conical spiral unicorn-horn shaped shells. They came in all sorts of muted browns, occasionally with some lovely lavender. Evidently the Southerly we had yesterday brought them up from the sea floor.
Trip back from Akaroa:
"I think those were Quail you nearly ran over."
"Hey, what are those flowers? Hollyhocks?"
"Sheep!"
"Cows!"
"Cows!"
"Look, Ray! Cows!"
"Sheep have longer tails than I would have thought."
"GOSLING!!!"
"Suicidal Gosling.
... Why did the Gosling cross the road? To get horribly splated by a car? No, that's not quite right...."
"Sheep!"
Tonight we're going to a Scadian get together, meet some new people. ^__^
Am thinking I need to visit a bird watching or a botanical group, learn the names of all these plants and birds. It's kind of odd not knowing them.
On the other hand, just realised we have a Japanese Maple tree right by our parking space. Huzzah!

dogmatix_san, have been watching the AMVs you sent. Dammit, now want to watch more YGO. (no gay. no gay there.) Or at the very least, finish our YGO WiP. Meanie!!!
Oh, yeah... more serious question... was playing with the idea of starting a second LJ for fics (since we're actually using this as a blog instead of a fic blog lately). Thoughts?
