Every fucking March, without fail.

Finally got around to watching Train Dreams the other night. Fucking hell, what a beautiful film. Even just visually, it’s wonderful. Colour palette and cinematography reminded me a little of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. A slow-moving, introspective masterpiece 🙌

Can’t believe we haven’t had a Bondi Rescue/Pam Bondi at the Epstein Hearings crossover yet. Not sure even Harries and the lads could rescue her from this absolute tidal wave though😂

Is this the presidential ratings version of ‘if we don’t test/report on Covid, the number of cases will go down’?

This weekend felt like a throwback to one of those summer weekends from my childhood. Walked Skyline from my house (Churton Park end - about 23km) on Friday. Then spent yesterday and today with Rosie, riding bikes, going to the beach and then playing cricket until the sun went down.

I’ve not really ever been unfit, just not strong. I decided to change that at the end of October, so spent Nov stripping some body fat, then from Dec on trying to gain weight. Have put on 3 kg since (now 81kg), which for me is fucking hard to do. Goal is 85kg 💪

Nothing at all to do with the fact no one will set foot in there since the name change though, huh Donny…

Realised this is on Soundcloud, in its entirety, tonight. My only copy is on CD, so I’ve not had anywhere other than the car to listen to it for years. It’s 27 years old, and the whole thing still sounds like it could be from 27 years in the future.

Best review I’ve heard so far: If this film was shown on a plane, people would still walk out.

Twenty years old, this record. Still sounds as good as day one 👏👏

ACT bros giving it the “well, actually…” over the Modern Slavery Bill. Reply guys giving it the “well, actually…” over Hitler. And on a related note, “The Nazis were socialists” is doing the rounds again. Cool.

Sad* to see the leader of the 1/3 Reich, Greg Bovino, being sent on his way. *Genuinely fucking elated and can’t wait for the little shit to eventually reap what he’s been sowing.

Fucking hell am I sick of hearing this assimilation argument about immigration. Just another big word to hide your racism behind. Fuck off.

Walked into the office this morning - first day back for a month - what’s the first thing I hear? “Man, your beard has gotten waaay greyer over the holidays!” Fuuuuuuuck sake.

ICE grabbing and detaining First Nations people now. Just in case you ever thought this was actually about immigration…

Sun came out in Wellington just now. As a result I’ve just put some washing on, so no doubt it’ll disappear again shortly.

Christ. I remember having my daughter in A&E with a really bad virus last winter. We’d been waiting for about two hours when I overheard two nurses talking about how there actually hadn’t been a Dr there for the last 30-odd minutes after a shift had ended.

Ha! We haven’t had a heat pump since we left Auckland - this is honestly the first time I’ve missed one.

Not sure if it’s a bias, because the proportion of football I watch is English, but I’ve often felt English refs have more of a tendency to want to be the main character. Some genuinely weird individuals come out of that system 😂

Ronnie Hotdogs @atomicmoog.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Particularly in summer - heat and noise have always been triggers for me, so if I can’t open a window for cooler air at the same time it’s just enough to start rustling my jimmies 😂

Ronnie Hotdogs @atomicmoog.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Granted I’ve only lived here for 3+ years, but this spring/summer has seemed excessive. I’ve realised the endless days like this actually make me angry. Just the noise of it is enough to push me into sensory overload 🤬😂

I’d rate myself a very competent swimmer - certainly not at his level, but used to do x2 swim sessions a week totalling maybe 5km; also did training on survival in the sea when I was sailing as a kid etc- even at the peak of those days I’d never swim there.

Tell me about it! My brain would’ve dripped out my ears long ago with all the trash takes during this era 😂 Been really good for promoting that ‘life goes on’ attitude towards football. Probably also helps that Sky is so exorbitantly expensive here, so I can’t watch all the games now anyway🤷‍♂️

Ronnie Hotdogs @atomicmoog.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Yeah, I duck in and out on occasion, depending on what’s going on. Still pretty quiet in here, but I’ll take that over the Nazis and shit on the other app any day.

Mate, I was the same. Most of my school life was being made to feel like I was thick, so I genuinely thought I was, and just gave up trying. Now I look back at a system that I just couldn’t gel with. It feels like it was too rigid to accommodate anyone outside the ‘norm’.

😂 My 6yo somehow switched from Apple TV to linear last weekend. It took me ten failed minutes trying to connect it to the wifi before I realised that’s just not how it works now 😵‍💫

Had another ramble up the hill at dusk last night. Saw a couple of deer ahead on the path, who took off once they’d spotted me. About 200m later I come around a corner to this 😲

Wellington is a treat. Been wondering what the walking tracks up the back of our place were, so went up for a nosey. Turns out they’ve extended Skyline to here now, which is the perfect excuse to smash it again this summer 💪
