Senses working overtime #206

1 Meet Ziggy Stardust



Senses have been earthy ones this week with visits to my wife's new horse (a surprise conjured up by her close friend): an Appaloosa

2 Chchchchchchanges

We changed his name to be more fittingly glam, to a Bowie inspired Ziggy Stardust, Ziggy for short.

The resemblance is uncanny! Especially the eyes.

Just For The Record




Was reacquainted with a great record store in Napier this week. In the intervening 3 years they have moved locations to be more central. Still got a great selection of new and second hand records and HiFi gear.

Ricky Nelson




Been living out of suitcases and traveling between Palmerston North, New Plymouth and Waipukarau this week. The Purdmobile's 6 CD stacker and the ipod have been my only sources of music, with Ricky a major contributor: love his laid back warm blanket of a voice!




Jumanji - Welcome To The Jungle

We watched this with Jade and William. What's not to like with Jack Black and the smoldering Rock in peak form and Axl's finest moment (coming with the end credits).



Overtime: Lonesome Town (Yes - more Ricky)

Wonder Woman is getting some great reviews. Here's one from Wired (yes, Wired).

Ricky Nelson. I love Ricky Nelson. I was born in 1957 as this was hitting the charts!
