I tend to associate particular songs or soundtracks to special moments in my life. Most of the associations are purely volumetric – I mean, if you listen to something at least twice a day, then it’s bound to stick. So when I think of the Chicago soundtrack, I think of the long bus trips between…
Through a series of circumstances not worth relating, I currently find myself without a computer at home. It particularly hurts for my work as a teacher, as I often do mounds of paperwork and plan many lessons whilst ensconced in bed, and I find myself staying in school a lot later than I want. What…
There’s been a lot going on in my life right now. Flying across a gazillion time zones, starting a new school year, picking up new classes (music teacher doing social studies? Perfect!), moving house, blah blah blah. Upheavals galore, and normally I’d really just take it all in stride. But one thing has been driving me…

We’ve heard about the nature. And we know about the sheep. And if you’re really on to it, you might know about the manuka honey and the paua shells and kauri trees. But what no one talks about is the coffee. Oh, I’m no connoisseur, nor am I a snob. I like mine in any…
So I was tooling along happily, reading the first dialogue between hero and heroine, and suddenly the hero concludes that he had rarely been so expertly teased. Expert teasing my ass. The hero hasn’t done anything except feel up the heroine’s leg, and the heroine hasn’t responded with anything resembling wit, and it all took…
