Musings of an Idiot

D'arranged Marriage

I had a day off everything yesterday and slept through most of it - more so because I was woken up by one of my flatmates returning from a late night party at 2.30 AM and then turning on some music - loud enough to get through the walls {the joys of flatting..sigh!!!}. I tossed and turned and since I couldn't go back to sleep and the noise was still on, I worked on 'The Moments In Between' till 5.00 AM and went back to bed once the music stopped. I did manage to wake up by 8.00 AM again and went about the day - doing household chores and shopping etc.

In between all the chores - I got chatting to Tarun {who I did a scene with recently for the movie} and he invited me to his play 'd'arranged marriage' that was on later that evening. A good sleep and a boxing class later I was at The Pumphouse in Takapuna where the play was being staged and it was a bloody fantastic one hour. Tarun is hilarious in the show and the audience was rolling over laughing throughout the runtime. Pure genius. You should watch it if it ends up playing anywhere near you. It definitely was the highlight of my day.


The night ended with a quick drink at the Speights Alehouse for Brendan Q's birthday party. It was fun and got to meet some new people. Maybe I should socialize more often. :-) Driving in to work this morning was weird because there were so many people stumbling around the roads drunk - trying to get home after a night out drinking and there were an equal number of cabs blocking the roads as they hovered around the night clubs waiting to pick up potential passengers. It felt weird and definitely reminded me why I don't like the drinking culture in NZ - so many problems that come out of it but people would rather be happily ignorant about it than deal with it.

That's me for now,
