A thousand half-loves: For halfway through the week

Disconnect


I haven't done one of these in a while. I guess I got a bit over the blog thing for a while, then I went traveling for 3 months and now I have plenty of free time so I thought I would see how it goes again.
usually my mid week posts have a theme or a degree of connection. This week is not so. Perhaps it is a reflection of my mood, or laziness. Maybe these posts will never have a running connection through them again. One thing I have learned over the past 6 months is that life changes. lots. It is wonderful.

1.  The Luminaries
This book is the talk of the town at the moment. Eleanor Catton won the man booker prize for it. I haven't been reading much lately, so this is all old news by now, but a friend recommended it and then I though, what da heck. I'm only a chapter in, but so far the richness of the language is intriguing and I sense a good story is developing. 


2. This song. Kelela:  Keep it Cool


 

Listen Listen Listen

 

 3. The Hills. 

Okay so this one is hard to admit. Yes this week I have been relatively lazy and bored, so I have been watching The Hills. 



Oh it takes me back to being 18 again. But mostly I have been watching it because I so miss LA so I watch it and a small part of me feels like I am there. Instead of putting up a link to the show, I'm just going to put up some of my Los Angeles photos, because thats basically what I'm getting at here.






4. Lonely and Opening Ceremony. 

NZ label Lonely hearts is now stocking their Lonely lingerie collection at Opening Ceremony in New York. I follow the label on Instagram and obsess over their little pretties. I'm a girl with a bit of an addiction to lingerie. and that is the way it should be.






5.  The next America Trip. Yipee. Plans, plans for my wandering feet.
