FKA Twigs - Two Weeks

Huge fan of Aaradhna! My friend produced this album for her too. Really hope she finds more success outside of NZ.

I've been on a The XX buzz for about 2 years now and still not getting tired of them.

Also a fan of Australian hip hop like Horrorshow:

Charges have now been dropped, apparently shouldn't have been brought in the first place: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/10716815/AC-DC-drummer-Phil-Rudd-Procuring-murder-charge-dropped

I'm foreign (from NZ) and moved to the USA. I love New Zealand, it's an amazing country and I hope to raise a family there one day. However, it is small and there's just not the access to opportunity that there is here in the US. My view of the US is pretty utilitarian - I enjoy living in California and I have friends here, but I'm here because of what being here can do for my career. The flip side though, is what I'd say to any American (or anyone at all) considering jumping ship to live in another country. It's rarely the right decision to make. Whatever issues or problems you have here won't disappear because you move countries - unless you are literally a refugee on the run from war or despotic governments. And the US does not have a despot in power, as much as some people would like to characterise him that way. Stick it out and make your country a better place rather than running away to somewhere else. Moving countries is hard, you're without everything familiar, even if you move to another English-speaking country. Your family, your friends, your support network, they're all gone. Even the brands at the supermarkets are different and you have to get used to whole different ways of life. If you leave a country for the wrong reason, you'll only end up unhappy and resenting your new home for being different from the one you left.

Haha I enjoyed Gone Girl! But I'm sure I'll enjoy John Wick as well. Thanks for reporting back :)

Damn you Dave Dobbyn. STOP MAKING ME CRY.

Oh let me know for sure. I'm really tempted to catch a matinee but i'm going out of town on business tomorrow and I have a crapload to do. And yes, I was really disappointed about the resopnse to 47 Ronin. I actually know the writer and saw an early draft of the script that I really loved. Never saw the movie when it came out because it got such poor reviews... I think finally I might go ahead and watch it.

This makes me so happy to hear. I may be a Keanu apologist, but the fact is the dude can act and I love it when everyone else recognises that too. He doesn't keep getting roles because he sucks.

Oh perfect, thank you so much for the info!

Thanks! I can already feel the addiction kicking in..

Aw man, thank you so much! Way more flattery than I deserve. And judging by my inbox this morning, this place is already way friendlier and welcoming than reddit. I think I've found a new home :)

Man, I just came over to check this hubski thing out since I'm so fucking over reddit. And top post I see is from you (and no I didn't know it was your birthday on FB)... Happy Birthday!

Now I'm off to discover more about this place and see what it's like...
