The Gretchen Weiners in me wants the word of the year to be 'Fetch'.
But in my life right now, the appropriate phrase is 'Haverface'

Hard News: Some things just don't let…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
The acoustic tour is targeted at affluent middle-aged types from places like Thorndon and Oriental Bay, who wouldn't go to a gig in a downtown pub.
Oh yeah, you've just totally described me in a nutshell there!
I would have gone to the Bodega gig if I'd heard about it. And I thought I was okay at keeping up with what's on.

I'm actually a bit ticked off at Bic Runga right now. I forked over $72 for her acoustic tour ages ago and am looking forward to it, and then yesterday I found out she was playing THAT very night at Bodega for much cheaper, and without any fanfare. And by then it was too late to head along. Grr.

But what about his cat? Why is no one covering the big issue? What kind of cat is it? What is its name? Where was it adopted from???

In very simple terms Megan’s observation of signs in Samoa that say “rape is wrong” feels like the right approach to me.
See, I think that's too simple an approach for New Zealand culture. People know rape is wrong, because that's the thing that happens to women in dark alleys and is done by strangers with knives or guns. No one I know would ever rape anyone.
Sex without consent, however, well that's a whole different thing...
Except that it's not.

In particular “if she was really assaulted, why didn’t she do x / why did she do y?” was bandied about a lot.
You do what you need to do in order to get through at the time. That's all there is to it.
