Crash Bang

I was walking home with my brothers Aonghas and Hamish after buying some ice-cream at the Henderson Pak N' Save (I met Allen, a good friend from back at Rangeview who is working there now! He had his whole walkytalky thing n all!) Anyway we were waiting at the pedestrian crossing beside the roundabout and opposite the Korean church and Falls Hotel, waiting for cars to stop. This red van came round the corner pretty quickly, and we weren't expecting it to stop. Within a few metres though, the driver must've made a rash decision and decided to stop quickly. The white car behind didn't have enough time to stop and rammed straight into the back of the van.

I feel really bad now because the right thing to do would've been to check that the driver was OK. Instead my brothers were saying

"Walk walk walk! Don't look!"

They later told me that they were afraid the drivers would be angry and take it out on us!

Girls Are Evil - Mathematical Proof

Finally! A mathematical proof that girls are evil! (nah honestly I don't think they are ;) , and no Kat I won't be celibate...well not for my whole life anyway!)

Need Advice?

As much as I dislike saying this (this case will be an exception) all those of you single and lonely people out there (not me of course! I'm single and relatively happy!) should watch Campbell Live 7pm tonight on TV3 for tips on dating and finding the right woman

Calum Comments - Thursday 29 September

I haven't commented on anything in a long time so I thought I'd do so today, seeing as nothing much is happening in my life during the holidays.

A research project recently completed which involved 500 14 year old Wellington students, found that 1 in 4 are bored at school. I'm sure it must be a lot higher than that! Or maybe school is more interesting down in Wellington?

Continuing with education, I'm glad to hear the PPTA have voted to oppose the Cambridge exam system. I won't go on about the need for a refined and constantly improving NCEA system again.

Isn't it amazing how we have so many of those singing idol/popstar/superstar shows on TV now? With NZ Idol and So you wannabe a Popstar? on TV2, and Sing like a Superstar on TV3, I think that is a bit too much, but its early days. We'll have to wait and see if these 'famous' New Zealanders are any good at singing, or making good TV...

It's good to see more NZ drama on TV though, even though most of it I wouldn't watch, like Outrageous Fortune, Interrogation (we don't have an UHF aerial so we can't even tune into Prime anyway!) and The Market, but why does NZ drama (excluding Shortland St) always need to have explicit language and sex scenes? I suppose in a way we could say it reflects our society, but no wonder NZ drama is always screened at times when no one is awake!

Day 1 of the Holidays

First day of the holidays started off OK. I had to teach recorder classes for one last time this term. Only half of my students showed up, so that made things much easier. I had a sister and brother in one class. That was really amusing, watching them arguing and shout at each other, with the brother threatening to tell me who his sister liked.

After I had accordion lessons when I got a bit of a surprise from my accordion teacher who presented me with the Douglas Mews Cup for achieving the highest grade in a piano accordion exam within the last year.

I've just spent the rest of the day at home, and it looks like my holidays will probably follow suit.
