Oh they most certainly are, and they provide me with what I need. 😉

Friends - I’ve watched through TWICE in three days while doing chores, etc. and I can safely say:

I still love this show dearly.

I laughed hard and gasped hard and swooned hard even as I was mouthing the words line-for-line.

What excellent art we got to see exist in its own time. 🥹🥹🥹

Enjoy these that go along with it. ☺️

And he used the correct form of you’re.
I’m so proud. 😂

I don’t usually post much personal stuff, but I thought this was worth it. Cleaning my little boy’s room and found that he’s been writing some notes to himself to make sure he keeps his head up. 🥹
Post it note with child’s handwriting.

The test was probably hard, but at least you’re done.

I started to a while back and abandoned it for some reason. I should get back to that.

Another Jeff appearance too. 🥹

On #TaikaTuesday, here's some of the hardest roles for me to accept - those that do not show Taika's face. (sad)
These are some of the voiceovers the Boy's done in the past.

“One brash phrase could crush this fragile day as my thoughts swirl in some shrill, sad cannonade.”

“Does my name sting your tongue? Now does it, babe?”

“I can’t get up
Life threatening doom
Dragging me darker and down”

Yep. Checks out.
Looks like a couple of LEGENDS to me.

I imagine his tattoo was highlighted here because Taika and Jemaine were doing "The Untold Tales of Maui" at this time. And legend says that Maui (and his brothers) were able to lasso the sun and stop him from rising. Maui made Te Rā agree to slow his path to give more time and light for the people.

And because I'm me, how about a little info-dump about personal interests? The moko (tattoo) you see is Tamanuiterā. The "Great Son of the Sun". He represents light and life. He is a symbol for power and balance and warmth.

The koru (spiral) can represent the sun's journey and the circle of life.

I’d be willing to risk it.

Look at this Ariki. 🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️

Then at some pointTaika just rattles off a Tom of Finland reference mid-convo.

Say more, Mr. W

The way Taika walks in those leathers really does good things for my spirit*.

I miss you, Glory Ballz. Come back to me.
Screenshot from Matt_grace_photography Instagram. The photo shows Matt, Jemaine, Taika, and Stu standing in a row dressed completely in athletic/basketball gear, complete with sweatbands. Taika is holding a basketball with his legs spread smirking down at the camera. Beneath each man is text labeling their nickname for the games. Taika’s is “Glory Ballz”. 

Caption text reads: 

matt_grace_photography So about a life time (2008-ish) ago we had a casual Sunday basketball thing. Everyone was pretty average (except Taika). It was a lot of fun though and completely hilarious. Fast forward to 2012, and it's Ants' (docta) 40th birthday. He's now overseas, but his wife gets in touch to see if we send her a photo of the Sunday Ballers to include in a slide show she's making to mark his birthday. Taika, Jim and Stu are in the midst of filming WWDITS, but one Sunday (it may have been a Saturday tho) we get together and make this wee gem...

Oh, you need a Pick-Me-Up??

I’ve got you.
The world’s sweetest, David Fane, at the premiere for Next Goal Wins. He’s wearing an entirely black ensemble of hat, shirt, and lavalava for the “green carpet”. He has his hands behind his back like it’s the first day of school and he’s having his photo taken. It is THE CUTEST.

This actually made me inordinately happy to read. Thank you. 🥹
