Scent Experimentation

I’ve now played with several bpal oils, and they fall into two distinct categories: Things with jasmine that say HELLO I’M JASMINE PERFUME I’M PROBABLY ON AN OLD RICH LADY WHO WEARS JEWELRY THAT’S TOO BIG, and things that I find intriguing and might actually be willing to wear longer, which all turn into baby powder. Sometimes they turn into baby powder, turn immediately into baby powder, do not collect 200 dollars (Coyote), sometimes it takes an hour or two (Baobhan Sith), but so far everything that smelled interesting in the bottle or at first application turns into baby powder. I’m like Midas, in a modern retelling where Midas is a nanny.

By far the most frustrating of the baby powder perfume oils is Odin (musk, amaranth, and nine herbs of POWAH). He started out smelling green and sharp and intriguing, and then BABY POWDER. I mean, Odin. You expect more from an ancient god of wisdom and war. It’s undignified. And this wasn’t a faint baby powder, either. This is Odin the All Stay-At-Home Father, diapering Thor after a long day, when Loki explodes the baby powder in his face. He pulled out his eye because the damn thing was watering too much from all the baby powder. This is WHY Odin is a god of wanderers who’s kind of pissed at the father-mother of his octopus horse. They have history. BABY POWDER HISTORY.

Iron Man 3

Erik and I had a date, with real going-to-the-movies and everything!

I really, really enjoyed this movie.

I mean, naturally it has the ever-so-much-more-so fast paced action scenes with all the ridiculously long falls that I'm growing weary of*, but it's a super hero movie. It had all the excitement and explosions and action fast enough that sometimes I don't even bother trying to follow it I expect from a super hero movie. And of course there's Tony Snark.

( Spoilahs! )
