New Zealand, Solstice, Stolen Wages, Gaming, Threads
Well, tickets to Bali were next to impossible to get at a reasonable price, so ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya and I are heading to the South Island of New Zealand in the New Year (gee, anyone would think I like the place or something). Currently thinking of a tour from ChCh to Dunedin to Invercargill to Te Anau to Queenstown to Wanaka to Twizel then back to ChCh. Should be manageable in six days ;-)
Last Sunday attended the Unitarian Church concert, which was the usual standard. Special guest in attendance wasmissmilky. Monies raised, on my asking, went to the indigenous Stolen Wages campaign, of which I gave an impassioned speech. The Australian Senate has come down with a report on this issue just a fortnight ago. It will probably become a major issue in 2007. Solstice dinner was with severina_242, _zombiemonkey and caseopaya. We chewed the fat, drank a lot, and I ended up letting severina_242 cut my hair; I now have an eighties style bob with fringe.
Have received several games over the past few days; treated myself to PDFs of Dogs in The Vineyard and the most excellent Kill Puppies for Satan (you've got to read the hate mail). Have borrowed_zombiemonkey's copy of Over The Edge for more inspiration. Have also received a heartbreaker' in the form of a game called 'Fantasy Imperium' which the author sent me. Physically, it's a magnificant piece of work. Hardbound, good binding, good art, over 500 pages.. but sweet Jesus, the game sucks.
Hat-tip togreylock. The nuclear war film, "Threads" on is avaible on Google video. If you're under 25 you need to see this to understand people my age. No really, you do.
