    as a south pacific region comrade of peter jackson's, i support his complete lack of personal grooming. yay for him! and anyway, i thought it was a pretty shocking night for frocks all round... too many flesh coloured dresses with drab blonde hair, so hair, frock and skin were all the same...

    well, boober... here we are! home sweet home. boober is furiously scrubbing the walls... i think he's a little germ paranoid. he's also doing a bit of home decorating. there is a line of flowerpots along the mantlepiece (for luck), and a large blue umbrella holder containing six walking...

    cool! Boober might get a bit funny about the door-knocking, he always thinks that the door-knocker is going to turn into a creepy old man, or start talking to him, or that the door will ask him pesky riddles. how foolish. But i'm sure if he's wearing his lucky socks he will be able to buck...

    An odd thing to find in your garage...

    train of thought... there's a really good book called Skellig about a boy who finds an angel in his garage, but it's not a holy glowing angel, he's a bit fallen, and just looks like a cranky old man in a bad suit, and all he wants to do is eat chinese food and aspirin. great book.
