Send me an angel…

I like going on adventures.  And going on an adventure with an unadventured friend is always an extra adventure! So when my awesome fanboy ménage-a-moi suggested we go Angel-hunting, it was with delight that we compared calendars and made a plan.

Said plan was quite simple – as the best plans are – and went like this:

1: Meet in Newmarket, five days before Giftmas.

Fuck Yeah, April Flores!

April is awesome – and I’ve had a mega-crush on her for a very long time now. Since I started my tumblr over a year ago, April has featured heavily. But I decided recently it was time for more. More focus, more April. Fuck yeah!

So a few weeks back I started a new tumblr focused specifically on the luscious April Flores, aka Fatty D. And it turns out I’m not the only fan out there. Posting twice a day, it’s already garnered a few hundred followers.

Little Miss Birthday

Today is my birthday – and I am a grown-up hobbit at the grand age of 33. Even if I only have hair on my big toes…

The first 3 1/2 hours of wakefulness have gone well, as my beloved Apollo has treated me with hugs and tea and toasted cheese muffins, and awesome Hedwig presents (as well as fans.

Summer is here!

This is how you know summer has reached Auckland: I go swimming. At the beach.

Looking across Maraetai (whilst relaxing)

Granted, it’s not fool-proof. One year I swam way back in September (my first skinny-dip, back in 2001. Brrr!). Other seasons I haven’t made it into the ocean until early February.  But most years, this one included, it heats up and I perspire and whaddaya know – it’s time for me to go splashing in the waves.

Parodies and Pizza Boys

Last week we had another (good) Pizza and (bad) Porn gathering – something which happens two or three times a year. As per usual, this involved bean-bags, flirting, cold drinks and salty food. And good friends!

That was a smaller gathering than usual, with only seven of us. But we had some atrocious porn, courtesy of Amie Wee. And for some reason, this time it was all about the parodies.

This was what we cringed through (links go through to trailers):
