Rewatched "Flat Pack," the episode of Bluey that was withdrawn and redubbed becauase of audience complaints about "ooga booga" in the dialogue having a hurtful history for Indigenous Australians - the version I'd downloaded was the original but the redubbed one is on the TVNZ OnDemand site now, and I was curious about how they'd handled it. The "ooga booga" sounds have been replaced by simple "ooh ooh" and some times "aah aah" and "eeh eeh" noises (this is Bluey pretending to be a cave-mother telling the story of the creation of their world to her cave-kid) - it doesn't affect the vibe of the scene and, I hope, it doesn't bother anyone. It's still one of the loveliest episodes of the series, the way it counterpoints Bluey and Bingo roleplaying the evolution of life and civilisation with Bandit and Chilli trying to put together a porch swing from the dog equivalent of Ikea, and ultimately being about how a parent makes their child, brings them up as best they can and then lets them go into the world, accepting that it's not their story any more.

And it features a cartoon dog saying "I'm not taking advice from a cartoon dog."

TVNZ ONDEMAND HAS ALL OF SHERLOCK? i have underestimated them

[the-modern-prawnetheus]

Midday bed selfie ft. party puppy the neck pillow and squinty eye because my left eye doesn’t actually fully open until I shower? Never actually bothered wondering why til just now.

All-ages quarantine recs:

Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly. The author isn’t Deaf and neither am I, so take grains of salt as ye may, but I loved it. Iris is a 13-year-old radio repairer who feels isolated and unengaged at hearing school- until her science teacher brings up the 52-hertz whale (“Blue 55” in the novel.)

Bluey on ABC iview in Australia, TVNZ OnDemand in New Zealand and Disney distribution in many other countries. I nearly started crying during Daddy Putdown but be assured it’s usually a cheerful, heartwarming and funny show.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts on Netflix. This show is so earnest and cute! Awesome designs and music too.

Doctor Who s11 had maybe two “eh” episodes, and every other one I really liked.

Everything You Could Possibly Need To Know About Auckland

It’s no easy feat making a move to a new city. But never fear, we’ve rounded up a local’s guide of the best things to try, buy and eat around town so you can live your best life here in Auckland!

Food

We’re happy to report the foodie scene here in the city of sails (it’s a nickname, just go with it) is thriving. Whether you’re looking to get dumped by gyoza or the best fried chicken in town, check out the below for tried and tested local gems.

The Coup, Takapuna – Dare we say it, The Coup puts the colonel’s 11 secret herbs and spices to shame. Don’t pass up a chance to give one of their game-changing Po’ boys a try.

The Blue Breeze Inn, Ponsonby – Any Aucklander will tell you The Blue Breeze Inn is one of the best in town. Featuring a pan-Asian inspired cuisine, head here for a legendary Mai Tai (or two). While you’re at it, order a round of dumplings, pork belly bao and XO noodles. We warn you this spot is addictive!

Eden Noodle House, Mt. Eden – Speaking of dumplings, Eden Noodle House is legendary among locals for a cheap bite. Often with lines out the door, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu – they’re that good.

Rude Boy, Freemans Bay – Offering classics done right, head here for ultra gram-worthy dishes and sprawling cabinet food that’ll make your mouth water. We recommend the mixed creamy mushrooms or if you’re on the go, a sourdough doughnut from the cabinet.

Sugar, Northcote Point – Take a day and head out to the Chelsea Sugar Factory to Sugar. Their high tea is a must for special occasions and is complimented with some of the best views in town.

Winona Forever, Parnell – Another café doing good things, the Eton Rifle French toast is not to be missed. The big breakfast plate also hits the spot.

Oh Calcutta, Parnell – Serving the best Indian in town, once you try their butter chicken and tandoori salmon, no other will compare.

De Setti Soldi, Epsom – A small but mighty family-run Italian spot offering fresh classic pasta and pizza. You’ll fall in love at first bite.

Prego, Ponsonby – Another fabulous Italian spot offering excellent Italian cuisine. Their spaghetti agioli is a must-try.

Wu & Yu, Mt. Eden – A whacky and wonderful blend of East and West, Wu and You’s menu boasts dumplings, soft shell crab tacos and a dessert menu to die for.

Garden Shed, Mt. Eden – The closest a café will come to a garden picnic, The Garden shed keeps things classic and focusing on flavour and presentation. Their burger is one of the best and not for the faint-hearted.

Giapo, CBD – You’ve never seen ice cream like this before. Prepare for your mind to be blown.

Dr. Rudis, Viaduct – To finish off those big work weeks look no further than Dr. Rudis. Featuring an in-house bowling alley, micro-brewery on-site and live music, see out the week from their rooftop.

Headquarters, CBD – Another after-work favourite, head here for a cold beer, lounge in the sun and boogie to Dad music.

Miann, Morningside – For handmade chocolate creations. BYO stretchy pants.

The Churchill, CBD – A rooftop gin bar in the Four Seasons on Queen Street. At an international standard, head here when you’re wanting to impress.

Talulah, CBD – A tiki bar with strong neon hues and even stronger cocktails. Our advice, tell the bartender to surprise you, you won’t be disappointed.

Chapel, Ponsonby – Not a destination but a stop along the way on any big night out.

AV Club + Saturdays, CBD – A one-stop spot for when you’re in the mood for a quiet one and a boogie. Saturdays keep things mellow while AV blasts house music at its finest.

Family Bar, K Rd – A hub for the local LGBTQ+ community, head here for non-stop Britney and Beyonce all night long.

Night Markets – On the hunt for local up and coming foodie trends? Look no further than the Auckland Night Markets, where many of Auckland’s hotspots have started.

Tagata Pasifika – The Pacific news NZ television

The 2013 Census listed 295,941 Pacific people, accounting for 7.4 percent of the total New Zealand population. The number of people classifying with the Pacific peoples ethnic group was up 11.3 percent from the 2006 Census population of 265,974.

In Census 2013, over a third (35.7 percent) of Pacific peoples were aged under 15 years, as compared to just a fifth (20.4 percent) of the total population

Pacific youth (15–24-year-old) made up a fifth (19.2 percent) of the Pacific population compared with a seventh (13.8 percent) of the total population

The median age for Pacific peoples in 2013 was 22.1 years, in comparison to 38.0 years for the total population

Pacific peoples who were aged 65 years and over made-up 4.7 percent of the Pacific population, compared with 14.3 percent of the total population

The elements of Pacific peoples’ bad health are too many and complex. The factors that have been known to have the deepest influence on health for Pacific peoples were socio-cultural and economic. Education level is noteworthy followed by employment status, occupation, income and housing.Pacific community is exposed to upper levels of health risks and unwholesomebehaviors. In 2006, 43 percent of Pacific people lived in housing defined as packed, in comparison to five percent of Europeans.

Studio Theory

Had a catch up with Glen today. I really needed to understand how to write my Annotative Bibliography, since I was a little confused last term when I made a start. As I have to rewrite last term's part and write up this term's, I figured chatting with Glen would help guide me.

Here are some notes I've taken;

You're talking about an idea - for the bibliography -> define the idea.

Depression and anxiety:

They're overlooked in daily activity - invisible

New awareness around/reframung depression and anxiety. Converts what was known as normal - pathology

Contemporary framework in depression and anxiety

Not straight forward - nuanced

Woman's health and how they're treated in society, overlooked even: TVNZ1 has an article I'd be interested in, look on their Facebook or TVNZ Ondemand.

The object: how it's thought of within the artwork.

Expressionism -> Neo Expressionism, German Expressionism. New human experience of urban living. When emotion was being eluded, frailty of our humanity (research each type of expressionism)

Should I title each piece in the books? Will it be useful and how? (Titling would should the non-linear aspect of my artworks. How I mix my past and my present together, showing how I dealt with my mental health then and now).

Tom Phillips - Artist, looked at books for a while.

Word isolation - leave out words/sentences that stand out to me and relate to my works somehow (I'm already doing this, but accentuating it even more).

Photograph a piece I've done and don't look at it for a day or two. After a couple days, look at the photograph of the piece to see it in a new light. What do I see that's different? How do I interpret it now, than how I interpreted it when I was closely working on it?

Looking at artists as key references -> what is this artist's ideas? Does it sit parallel with me, my works, my concept?

Installation as key references: in installation -> what is it? How could I use it?

Last questions are general questions for the entire annotative bibliography: what are the guiding ideas? What are the concepts?
