Things To Make And Do

I'm putting together my fiction and other book lists... oh yes I am.

Also, I've decided I'm going to make Horchata this week, at some point. I'll publish the results here... I may even make a photo essay of it.

Unfortunately I DID NOT make a photo essay of my awesome weekend with Marcey, camping in Turangi and doing the Tongariro Crossing. We started the walk and M pulled out the camera. I struck a pose. The camera died. Boo.

But imagine a frozen lake... and a steep rocky cliff. And a forest. And steaming sulphorous maws. All in one 6 and half hour walk. I think I'm going to do it again when I get back from Chile... and make a team effort of it.

This was bracketed in by one expertly cooked dinner and one mish mash disaster, as well as plenty of ice forming on our tent and on the car windscreen. Ice!

Also, Adele told me to read this. I didn't read all of it, but I read some of it, and it was very informative.

Unlike this post.

The Black Kids are actually good, but we also shouldn't be talking about them. We are, but we shouldn't. They should be a small discovery, something you accidnetally happenstance across and then play to your friends - they have an indifferent reaction and then no one speaks of it again until they release an album. Then they play a middling-ly attended show or two, then the hit single. THEN we can talk about them...
