Musings of an Idiot: Phew

Phew

It was nice to have a couple of days doing nothing. It is good to recharge the cells every now and then. I did nothing for most of the weekend. On Saturday I caught up with Benji in the evening to finalize the changes to the music video in order to finish it by middle of next week. We walked down to the city to grab some dinner and I was annoyed at the fact that in NZ they close all the main shops by 6in the evening. Surely on the weekend it makes more business sense to have the shops open later so you can attract more business but strange are the ways of the world.

As we kept walking I was pleasantly surprised to i that they had blocked off Upper Queen Street for a free concert as part of Auckland Fringe Festival and there were food stalls and all. It was nice seeing stuff happening in the city. They need more of that happening to create a sense of fun and culture in the city. I had some Jamaican food which was tasty and now I am just sitting down to finish reading a script that Angelique {an old friend of mine} had written as part of the package to take with me to India.

I bought 'Planet Earth' - the award winning TV series and I plan on watching it sometime over the next few weeks.

I'll leave you with some pics from the fest downtown.
Enjoy,
Amit
