Paekakariki, New Zealand Superthread

[Cin]

I'm back now. Prolly should do some more cleaning but really don't want to.

 

[Cin]

Now I'm listening to George Michael and getting a little bit teary.

 

[bono_212]

I could be your father figure, Cin.

 

[Axver]

I'm around again.

350 words written on the Stalinism essay. Woo. It's a start! Not even a tenth of the essay ... but a start's a start.

 

[bono_212]

No progress made in Geology. Time for 4 hours of fitful slumber.

 

[Axver]

I suggest you borrow Alison's brain for the duration of the exam.

 

[Reggo]

I suggest you borrow Alison's brain for the duration of the exam.

I can make that happen, you know. We share a brain most days.

 

[Angela Harlem]

hi s-bends.

 

[bono_212]

It should only take 50 minutes. One would think she wouldn't even notice it was gone

 

[Axver]

Hey Anna, you rodent infested shack.

 

[The Sad Punk]

What's up, fools?

 

[Axver]

It's been better.

And how are things with you, Bonnie?

 

[Slopsy]

We're...still...here.

I see.

 

[Axver]

Says the one who's only managed 27 posts here over six days.

 

[Slopsy]

I know, I know, I've been having withdrawal symptoms! Damn things to do!

 

[Axver]

Having a life? Actually doing study?

 

[liamcool]

What's up now?

Was feeling particularly depressed and worthless. Meh.

 

[Varitek]

still paekakarikiing?

 

[Axver]

Nearly signed another e-mail to a lecturer "Regards, Ax". Maybe I just need to use the nickname in real life. I could reset my e-mail to display my name as André "Ax" Lastname ...

 

[Axver]

still paekakarikiing?

At this rate, we may make it to a full week!

 

[Slopsy]

Woah, major internet fail

It's like the world is banning me from Interference!

 

[Axver]

Don't make me do Paekakariki spam, people.

 

[Axver]

Oh yeah, I'm in this Paekak spam.

(I reckon I look particularly short in this photo.)

 

[Slopsy]

You do look short. I love the hair, though!

 

[Axver]

That photo was taken on the same day as one of the two or three photos of me that I actually like:

As a matter of fact, this may count as Paekak spam too. That was on Wellington Fiducia tram 239 at the Wellington Tramway Museum, located between Paekakariki and Raumati South.

 

[mysterious_jen]

ahhhh axver spam !

 

[Axver]

Horrifying, isn't it!

 

[mysterious_jen]

[mysterious_jen]

Volgograd was the city renamed Stalingrad 1925-61.

I do have a topic for the essay, I'm looking at Soviet infrastructure and industrialisation with specific focus on the metallurgical base established in Magnitogorsk. But an argument? That I can sustain for 5,000 words? With sufficient research? Well, shit.

what in the name of god are you writing about?


can your history studies be useful for something a touch more relevant to this century and this country? or NZ at least.

not paying out at you on a personal level at all, just perplexed.

 

[mysterious_jen]

mmmk ....


anyone out there?
