I get up around 2pm and make some pancakes for breakfast, and then watch "Once Were Warriors":
It's a rough gritty film about a Maori family living on the poverty line. It's got a very "real" wife beating scene. It stars Temuera Morrison:
One of the biggest Kiwi film stars, his face is familiar because he plays Jango Fett in Star Wars episode II:
Jango Fett is the man that they clone to make all the Stormtroopers. Which means that Stormtroopers must be wife beaters as well. I knew they were bad bastards(Quite literally).
After the film, we contemplate inviting people round for a dinner party, but a few phone calls later and the plans have shifted. Kiwi Girls has few people round for drinks, and we're gonna bring a few more and make it a party. So after dinner it's off to Coco's to meet the Pool Twins and Miss Germany before heading off to Kiwi Girl's flat in the Red Light District.:
On the way to the flat we go to the off license for supplies. It feels good walking through he streets holding a crate of beer. It's been a while since I did that - this feels like my student days again.
We get to the flat - it's gorgeous - pretty big for a canal house flat and in the middle of party central. No wonder Kiwi girl doesn't sleep, she lives bang in the centre of a 24 hour party.
We get there and sit for a few drinks we listen to/watch the following:
Pearl Jam - VS - Not my choice. Very rarely has someone else chosen Pearl Jam when I'm at a party:
Not my choice:
This is all while drinking and playing trivial pursuits, with only short intermissions for air guitar.
By the time it's the early hours, the rain is "stoatin af the grun"(i.e. Heavy), so we stay for beers until it goes off. It doesn't go off, but we eventually we go home anyway.
This "quiet" weekend is turning into a weekend where I don't see much daylight.
