i have a love hate relationship with more things than i care to list. like this mug. although, if i'm being honest, it is mostly love.

when i was a kid my favourite book was little black sambo and the tiger. they made butter and played on slides. the joy of imagining myself on that slide! i thought sambo was about my dad.

i also thought my dad played the cheeky barman, isaac, on the love boat.

imagine if he was though. it would have been AWESOME to be isaac's daughter. i would have probably got to go to acapulco when he had to shoot on location. instead sometimes i'd get to go to the hutt to eat sherbert watch dad play rugby.

and even though i don't want to start listing everything i love hate, i'm gonna give you one more. synth folk music.



actually, i lie. there is no hate.

i love shona laing like i love the all time best new zealand town slogan. you could say, she's right up my hutt valley.

also right up my hutt valley was last night's party at morgue and cazza's. best. mulled wine. ever.
