Jul. 25th, 2007 01:35 amLJ went away. Then, it came back.
Meanwhile, I managed to slice my foot on my own bedframe, and drop the Deathly Hallows on my other foot. Fuckit.
(The book's ok, by the way.)
In happier news, we get a BPAL Lunacy update.
Singing Moon
Moonlight over grave grass, meadowsweet, marsh hellebore, rock sea-lavender, Irish Lady's-tresses, melancholy thistle, and wood bitter-vetch, with the scent of autumn fires in the distance, sprayed by wind howling over the Atlantic.
If I could be certain this would smell like firewood and ocean, I'd like that. With my luck, it'd smell like anything but firewood and ocean, and none of the other notes are my thing at all.
I might still like a sniff, though, if anyone in the Boston area is getting this.
The Emathides
Gleaming eyes, screeching voices, glistening wings: black amber, black orchid, black currant, olive blossom, wood violet, lavender, blue musk, rose attar, and cedar.
Eh.
Virgo 2007
Fennel, valerian, maidenhair fern, carrot seed, honeysuckle, and myrtle.
This sounds like it smells pleasant enough, but nothing that makes me drool. Plus I would never be allowed near my cat again, if I smelled like valerian.
Still haven't heard anything regarding my Lab order. Bah. Waiting sucks wet socks.
