Oh comely, I will be with you when you lose your breath,
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left.
With some pretty, bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest.

But oh comely,
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory, you're drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mean anything at all.

Oh comely,
All of your friends are all letting you blow,
Bristling and ugly, bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty, bright, and bubbly friend 
You could need to say comforting things in your ear

But oh comely, 
There isn't such one friend that you could find here.
Standing next to me,
He's only my enemy 
I'll crush him with everything I own.

Say what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out
All your miracles aimed for me.

Your father made foetuses with flesh licking ladies, 
While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park.
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums,
The music and medicine you needed for comforting.
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving,
And pluck all your silly strings, bend all your notes for me.
Soft silly music is meaningful magical,
The movements were beautiful, all in your ovaries.
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers,
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines.
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me.

Say what your want to say.
Hang for your hollow ways.
Moving your mouth to pull out
All your miracles aimed for me.

I know they buried her body with others,
Her sister and mother and five-hundred families.
And will she remember me fifty years later?
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine.

Know all your enemies.

We know who our enemies are.

Goldaline, my dear,
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here.
There is sun and spring and green forever.

But now we move to feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomach.

Place your body here,
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine.

Two of the greatest gigs of my life.

I'm trying to find my way home.
I'm sorry, and I miss you.


I'm in hell.

No island is a man
lonely on all four sides
with the door left unknocked

and the bell left unrung,
waiting to be finished
with the wait so heavy

like the non-beat of a
bass drum, silent in its
unrest. The sound

rings steady upon
the unsoliciting shores.

— Stephen Leeds, “Unsound,” from issue 132, Fall 1994 of The Paris Review.

Kurt Vile - Girl Called Alex.


I love drowning my ears in this song. 
I hope he tours soon.

John Wayne Gacy as Pogo the Clown.


Not my best work, but it was fun.

Film Fest 2013...so far.

I haven't had the time to see nearly as many films as I would have liked to but the ones I have seen have been brilliant. 

I saw my favourite Alfred Hitchcock film, North by Northwest, on the big screen a couple of weeks ago...


It was wonderful, of course.

Yesterday I went to the Animation Now 2013 showcase. My favourite of the seven I saw was Oh Willy, which was written and directed by Marc James Roels and Emma De Swaef.


Last night I saw A Field In England, which was simply incredible. I loved every moment. Reece Shearsmith was just the best, of course. And now I'm happier than ever that I've been following his career all these years. 


Michael Smiley had a main role too, and it was pretty cool to see him playing a bad guy for once, since his career used to be mainly in stand up comedy.


Last Saturday I went to the NZ Short Film finals which was interesting. We had to vote at the end which I have to say was quite challenging. I never like picking favourites but the last film, Friday Tigers, kind of blew the rest away to be honest. I highly recommend it if you can find it.

Tomorrow I am seeing The Deadly Ponies Gang, which looks pretty exciting.

And Friday I am expected at Magic Magic. We will see how much work I am stuck with though!
Plus this guy kind of annoys me. Although he was pretty great in This Is The End.


Speaking of apocalypse films...I didn't see it as part of the festival, but World's End was pretty great.


We drank lots of beer after to celebrate.
