two minute noodles -- something that's almost doubled during 'the rising cost of living' crisis.


For someone like me, that's serious moolah. Living in Wellington, I can walk anywhere; that's not true for Christchurch, Dunedin or Auckland.


But I hate cycling here: the Weeded Out cartoon isn't necessarily representative of my personal views. Personally, I think cycling is dangerous unless Wellington goes full Berlin or something with a primarily pedestrian CBD.


And I think those rentable electric scooters and bikes are a menace. - Tinkered with the intro of the Dak film. I think that's important, but it's a tricky segment to work out... that's the sort-of thing the test screening is designed for. I like I've Got You Under My Skin or a jazz tune somewhere in that segment, but Machine Fatigue is also a banger. My intro, I've cut in half. It was initially shorter, but then I sort-of liked watching me stammer. - If the weather's shit, I'm staying home tomorrow, but if it's good I'll probably visit Parliament. Ha! the SD torrent of On Weed part 2 is 20%. 👋
