To watch: There's little documentary content on TV these days - especially without Sky and TVNZ7 - but if you are a doco-starved kiwi there is a place you can go to gorge yourself... Watch Documentary is a free website that includes links to documentaries, sorted into handy categories so you can find what you're interested in. The BBC series How TV Ruined Your Life looks good, as does Australia's Boomtown Curse, from AL Jazeera, about the dark side to their mining-based economy.
Sleeping Around: At the end of the month I am joining a bunch a politicians, business leaders and other well-knowns for a night sleeping rough in Auckland's CBD (with just a sleeping bag, pillow and a sheet of cardboard). The Lifewise Big Sleepout is an annual fundraiser for the homeless that really asks participants live it, rather than just talk about it. At least for one night. Please sponsor me - no donation amount too small (or too big) - by going here.
Fight! A dance recital descends into a spat between these two mini-ballerinas...
