The Following Please Me:
* keeping up with the fate of the NZ entry in the Australian Basketball League by way of http://www.kiwihoops.co.nz – particularly the rise and rise of Dillon Boucher, whose story should, by rights, be repeated in every NZ school and playground (cue usual rant about New Zealand identity)
* hearing that some of my friends are friends with others of my friends
* watching people make risky but right decisions
* patience, humility, compassion
* Freddy vs Jason
* chai tea (current hot drink of choice)
* Tongan Ninja, the closest thing NZ has to a Flight of the Conchords movie, being on sale in the local Blockbuster
* Tongan Ninja actually being quite entertaining
* seeing people I know in Tongan Ninja and, indeed, in any film (credits included – they also serve who don’t appear onscreen)
* hearing from people I haven’t heard from in a while
* not feeling overly busy
Note: Other Things Also Please Me.

Dillon B shows emphatically how desire, hustle, and intelligence (“court awareness” – the old Beckham is as smart as Einstein debate) can compensate for anything. There should be hordes of hairclip-wearing fans if there was any justice. I still think he’d do a job for an NBA team.
F v J. Got all the references correct but wasn’t scary or funny enough imho.
