the trip down memory lane

That's what I call lunch breaks spent walking around The Rocks - one of the things I miss most about working at my previous office.

Managed to take a bus down the good ol' path, survey the Museum of Contemporary Art Shop and spend some time browsing through the uber coolness of the book selection at ariel.

The MCA Shop
- Funky cameras with an array of colour filters and multiple lenses. From 70 bucks.
- Arty 2007 diaries, mostly New York-inspired (read: MoMA, Andy Warhol [from the Andy Warhol Museum in NY, I suspect], New York Times). From 18 bucks for the pocket diary.
- Unique accesories including animal-hide round purses with key ring, 35 bucks, and beaded necklaces wrapped in antique silk kimono fabrics, 98 bucks.
- Funky greeting cards.

ariel booksellers
- moleskin notebooks, planners and diaries of various sizes and specs. From 25 bucks.
- Zadie Smith books, the new Nick Hornby bestseller, "My First Film" (Hollywood's famous directors talk about their first films), and an interesting one called "Notes from the Underground Teenagers"
- funky greeting cards.

The greeting cards inspired me to buy a printer. I still want a mac. Any sponsors?

Halfway through October. Can't wait for bludgy days with trainings and induction programs, my two days off (at least!) in November, Christmas with the family (again in Sydney) and 2007! YAY!
