The person you marry is the person you fight with. The house you buy is the house you repair. The dream job you take is the job you stress over.

Everything comes with an inherent sacrifice—whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make us feel bad.

Senses working overtime #491

1 Wellington




This week was largely spent in our capital city. It's getting a bad press at the moment with less foot traffic in the CBD but while Unity Books are on Willis and Arty Bees, Slow Boat Records are in or near Cuba St mall, I will still have plenty of reasons to visit on a regular basis.


2 World of Wearable Arts




Jacky's thing more than mine but I still really enjoyed the sensual experience.


3 Listening to: Jimmy Buffett - Living and Dying in 3/4 Time




One of my purchases from Slow Boat Records. Try Come Monday.


4 Reading: The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys



One of my purchases from Unity Books.


5 Tasting: Hot! Like a Mexican tacos




Overtime: Neil Finn




There's a certain good fortune in having a moderate amount of success.
