Decide to make scrambled eggs for dinner. Break eggs. Pour milk into eggs. Milk comes out chunky. Pause. Sniff. Well, my BPAL clogged senses are obviously still good enough to detect THAT. *sigh* Guess I’m having…um…cold pasta salad and toast for dinner.

A huge pack of imps arrived today, courtesy of the lovely Reece, and god, I see what you people mean–opening these things is like Christmas! Eeee! Tried “Baku.” Intensely, powerfully anise. My wrists smelled like I was wearing black licorice handcuffs. Within five minutes, it had vanished completely, leaving no trace behind. Huh. Well, that […]
Tried “Isles of Demons.” Great name. Smells a little too perfume-y for me at first blush–definitely floral, definitely sweet. After a few minutes, the musk starts to come through, which is nice, but the topnote–crap, these terms are starting to make SENSE–is still too sweet for my tastes. Hmm, all this smell-testing is definitely a […]
Tried “Whip.” Roses and leather, theoretically, but it vanished almost completely on my skin–I got a floral whiff, made a mental note to sniff again later, and then poof! nada. It wasn’t an obnoxious floral, suspicious as I am of them, it just…went away immediately. I tend not to lather on the perfume, of course, […]
Phew! I have been busy! Monday was seriously awesome. I went to the zoo with a webcomics colleague, and a very nice zookeeper took us on a behind the scenes tour. I got to pet the oscelot! She licked me! Eeee! (My friend and I wandered around for about an hour giggling at random and […]
Tried “Dee” last night. Smelled woody. (Not woodsy. Like woods. The description includes rosewood.) Interesting wood with a hint of incense. It’s a nice smell, it’s also, oddly enough, a completely asexual smell, and if I’d meant “unisex” I would have said “unisex.” This is a perfume that does not make me think about sex, […]
Demo went well! Well, at least I think it went well. I may be deluding myself, of course, but I had fun, and there were several people who asked very intelligent questions, and a trio who drove up from Charleston who were a lot of fun to talk to. I’m told there was a medium […]
Off to perform a demo on a topic that I don’t know nearly as much about as I should! Wish me luck, gang!
Okay, TWENTY imps arrived in the mail today. My desk smells like a New Age bookstore, possibly with an S&M dungeon in the back room. (It’s all the leather notes…) As I can no longer distinguish between smells after whiffing about three bottles, I’m gonna have to do this one at a time…(and my apologies […]
I showed up to my buddy Joe’s cocktail party last night, and the first words said to me were “I hear you smell like pumpkin pie!” To which the only possible response was “Yes! Smell my cleavage!” (Well, it smelled like pie, damnit, and my hands smelled like soap.) She did so, and pronounced it […]
