Here we have one law for the whole country as opposed to areas - but I guess that's because we're so small :)<BR/><BR/>Mum: You got to see Phantom - lucky! I was a bit miffed as I thought it might be a touring thing but it's staying in Akl. <BR/><BR/>Adam: Rhetoric power doesn't even begin to cover it! The ballet is loosely based on the story...I think. Or something? LOL it was good anyway.<BR/><BR/>Zo: I was on a bit of a whirlwind trip but yes, was definitely in Chch! They do quite cheap student tickets to the ballet, it's worth splashing out occasionally :) <BR/><BR/>Om!Ap!: Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Linda: Thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Mel P: Exactly - why is it even being contested? <BR/><BR/>Lyvvie: You have a good point about the internet :) And I read your friend's post, also many good points! I can't imagine what it would be like to actually be directly affected by such a stupid law. Don't feel uncultured - I've never had a bento (or is that "had bento?" lol)<BR/><BR/>Viv: Hope Hannah's scholarship art goes alright - sounds a bit stressful! And hope you had a lovely time at Phantom - it has gorgeous music. Start full time on Monday :D<BR/><BR/>Ann: Yes and yes to both points :)hungryandfrozenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077401868108124070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-33160012985869269612008-11-12T15:02:00.000+13:002008-11-12T15:02:00.000+13:00Election night was AWESOME indeed, we had tears in...Election night was AWESOME indeed, we had tears in our eyes - I still get the shivers.

Went to see 'Phantom of the Opera' last Sunday and was thrilled to see a bit of ballet in there too. Brought back many memories of thirteen years of trips to the ballet. <BR/><BR/>Condolences for Pistachio. <BR/><BR/>Hope the trip to Christchurch goes well.<BR/><BR/>And.... ooops, the deleted mystery comment was mine.

Haha.<BR/><BR/>The U.S. election was indeed an amazing thing, though if the economy hadn't tanked McCain and (God help us) Palin could well have won. As for Prop 8, unfortunately the black and Hispanic turnout that so helped Obama also pushed that over the top. Those communities here are far more anti-gay than the rest of the population. (I live in Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal. The sky still seems to be up.) <BR/><BR/>And finally, yes, that's a gorgeous nut photo.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347625952787521456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-10205487838249602832008-11-08T03:32:00.000+13:002008-11-08T03:32:00.000+13:00Great post - Pistachio was the best "nut" on the P...Great post - Pistachio was the best "nut" on the Pantry.
