Aaron and I watched Whalerider last night, and it made me think of New Zealand again. We saw the movie for the first time while we were in Christchurch, and seeing it this time made me wish that I was there again. It's probably about 40 degrees Fahrenheit in Christchurch today - not the 110 degree heat index we're suffering through in Cincinnati. 40 degrees sounds awesome. I'm sure that the Southern Alps are covered in deep snow, and people are having fun zipping down the slopes.
Watching the movie last night made me remember a great phrase they used all the time there - "stuffed", meaning "he's tired". "He's stuffed!" What a great word. Another one we liked a lot was "flash," as in "cool". Yep, Kiwis have a flash vocabulary.
