Friday!

Administration
Happy birthday to gows!

Medical
Ow, ow, frickin' ow. I'm taking Tramadol instead of Flexeril, because I need to function today. Laundry. Baking. Writing. Organization.

Not-Date
I need to just write down all of the compliments mgrasso gives me and put them in a beautifully-bound little book, and carry the book with me to peek at whenever I'm feeling down. He is one of my favorite people to spend time with. And not just because of the compliments and the pinot noir. *laugh* I love Boston!

Kingdom of Loathing
It's CrimboWeen! All you KoLers, make sure to log in every day this month and check your Spooky Advent Calendar. And - eat the chocolate lump. Trust me.

Dada
People blogging on Dada - have you received an e-mail telling you what amount you're going to get? Does it seem low? Yeah, me and wakingdreaming, too. Demand an accounting. CC it to Antonella, and to me if I'm the person who invited you.

Daily Science
Life on Earth may have started with the help of tiny hollow spheres that formed in the cold depths of space, a new study suggests. The analysis of carbon bubbles found in a meteorite shows they are not Earth contaminants and must have formed in temperatures near absolute zero.

Reading
The Orphan's Tales: In The Night Garden by yuki_onna. Once Upon a Time (she said), by Jane Yolen.

Planning
I need to get stuff to First Church for a bake sale tonight. I have no idea where that is. So um yeah.
Saturday, I get to hang out with yuki_onna! And Saturday night, we're going to her reading at Pandemonium Books. All locals should attend. She's a fantastic writer. :)
Sunday? Resting!

You?

Afternoon miscellany

* BPAL arrived! Bitter Moon, Glitter, Typhon, and Purple Phoenix, with many frimps. I dabbed them all on quickly to see if I needed more bottles, as the latter three are going away today. Impressions:

Glitter: The heliotrope overwhelms the pear and pulls it under, only to disappear itself, leaving me with nothing.

Typhon: Single-Note Vetiver fades and allows a touch of patchouli to mingle. Not bad, but not me.

Purple Phoenix: Wow. That's purple. That's really, really purple. I like purple, but I don't need more than one bottle of it.

Bitter Moon: Oh dear heavens. I'm in love. I swear I can smell the blackberry seeds in here. Poppy, lotus root, and sage tease at the edges, but this belongs to the blackberries. Nearly tactile.

So, yeah. Will swap Glitter for more Bitter Moon!

* Need to bake for bake sale. Need ride to bake sale, ideally, as it'll be hard to navigate the T with a cake and a gross of cookies. Anyone feel like tooling out to Davis Square?

* I love being able to spend the morning wrapping gifts and getting stuff done around the house. It's just a great feeling.

* Hi! :)
