If I had my way

[lodessa]

My BPAL came today! I am currently wearing Frumious Bandersnatch because the some of it escaped the imp when I was sniffing them all. It smells SO GOOD (spicy-sweet-fruity honeysuckle) but is possibly disappearing too fast on me.

On first sniff: My bottle of Baghdad seems way less spicy and more musk/soapy than sophia_helix's but hopefully that's an in the bottle issue and it will not wear that way. Siren seems a little musky too. Bengal, Lady Macbeth, March Hare, and Juke Point smell promising and I am excited to try them all out over the course of the next week.

My frimps are: Anne Bonny (intriguing), Wolfsbane (bleh), Golden Priapus (possibly awesome?), and Nuit (meh).

I will report on all of these as I experience them more fully.


I spent the evening Facebook stalking former acquaintances with sophia_helix, which was amazing as always, and trying to decide on recipes for tomorrow night's Seder. Also a stupid quiz tried to tell me I should live in Fresno... ummm NO.

I am way behind on talking about TV (but up to date on T:SCC [omg wtf how are you so amazing], Dollhouse[wow this show is really stepping it up at last], Bones[finally we get to where we should have been at the beginning of the season], Life[better but still underwhelming, they have wasted this season], and Castle [LOVE!]... all of which I am feeling happy with). Also I finished watching season 1 of Dexter, which was just as compelling as promised, possibly I will talk about this when I get around to summing up Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica (two sci-fi shows that are polar opposites in how to make a TV show... or how not to in one case).

AND THE NEW DRESDEN FILES BOOK COMES OUT TOMORROW! Of course this means all fic writing needs to be put on hold for new canon absorption, but I am seriously ridiculously excited.

Seder is tomorrow? Am I supposed to be somewhere...tomorrow?!

I realized that it was the only night that was actually going to work logistically. If you want to come that would be awesome, but I figured it is a long drive and you were here last week.

If you had given me advance notice I would've been able to swing it but as it is I have a guest tonight, so no.

I only figured this out like a day ago. I have been having a huge planning fail.

[sainfoin-fields.livejournal.com]

Woe.

Maybe next year I will suck less.

Next year, at Ariel's...!

LOL.

Anne Bonny will probably be too sandalwood-y on you, and Golden Priapus smelled like a vanilla-plastic Christmas candle on me. If your Baghdad is too rosy, like I said, I bet we could find someone to swap a spicier bottle with for you. And Nuit was bleh.

FRESNO.

I am guessing that is what will need to happen.


But then again apparently I make everything sweet because I just put Lady Macbeth on and it smells like sweeties on me so far... which Jeremy apparently likes.

Hey! We're on the same TV page for a minute or two. Exciting. =) I just finished season one of Dexter as well, actually watched the first disc of season two yesterday. Is it not just ridiculously good and addictive?

Also loving Castle, and of course, still loving Bones. =)

YAY!

It is. I sort of ignored all my friends and such to watch it for a few days last week.

I am surprised by how amazing Castle is.
