Caught arise...
Well the first game is on and...
...it looks like some lucky spectator in the orange 'nz music month t-shirt' has taken the requisite one-handed catch - hope they don't find some loophole to not pay out.
<aside>
catch in the wry....
Speaking of not seeing what's in front of you (à la the inaction sign) - I just noticed the TAB's ad during the over break - obviously no txters or crossword fans on their new slogan's design team...
'are you in' = R U IN!
upping the ante christ?

M.I.A.
whoops, I see I’m well behind the news cycle and comment on the ‘inaction’ sign was all over the twittersphere on the 12th!
I'll have to go pell-mell to catch up with the peloton -

sign of the times…
The worlds greatest inaction!
I suspect it’s not so much a proofreaders lapse
as a Freudian Slip…
We tell it like it is down here
Inertia is the new paradigm,
there’s even an Enervation Precinct!or was it just someone who doesn’t understand cricket!
I for one miss the contemplative
and meditative aspects of the game.
Once upon a time at Lancaster Park
one could feel the held breath
and hear the bowler running in
the slightly delayed sound
of hard leather on willow
a rising susurration of response
sometimes roiling into applause
respect and patience
living in ’over ’time…nowadays – not so much,
it’s all noise and stress
and discordant elements
it’s the modern way! -
cite site specific sights & signs…
They are the reasons for the work and they need to be clearly and unambiguously answered even before any artist is approached.
Nice work – if you can get it – for a social shaman, a diviner or the geomancy boys (or girls) – sibyl engineering perforce…

Back story on T-shirt affront and back too…
art official light…
Between an alleyway! What were they thinking
…inside the rectangle?
I think it’ll look very Blade Runner when it’s finished, with the lights and all, it’ll probably end up being blocked off regularly for film and ad shoots – which will be irksome, buta nice little earner for the City…
an evening parade of lights through there could be fun, too… -

the Atrocity Exhibition...
...you’ll be telling us the Gulf War actually happened?
It did! It did!
Hill & Knowlton told me so... -
Hard News: CWC 2015: Contains graphic horror, in reply to Sacha,
the udders sway...
I hear the PM got booed again...
Surely not?
That'll be 'mooed' - the sensitive stage microphones picking up the nearby intensive urban dairying, perhaps the burgeoning Merivale Herd - those cows can smell a salt lick and silage from miles away... -

opining ceremony...
We have production teams....
...and we have misproduction teams.
is it just me?
the bits that I saw of last night's Cricket World Cup opening ceremony were wordy and unwieldy and cringingly provincial in its preoccupations - an amateur drama society and business lobby committee must've been responsible, No singular vision showing - maybe I just missed the dynamic bits or the bits that related to cricket (aside from the clunky overscripted badly acted kids / caps cricket match)...
but I only saw about half of it and it obviously wasn't fully live as the fireworks I saw on the horizon weren't on the telly simultaneously (unless I can see the future!)
perhaps it's just me...oh it's Friday the 13th.
