Mmmm, weekend

Oh, hello, I love long weekends. There should be more! In fact, every weekend should be a three-day weekend. Because, you know, I actually did everything I had to do and everything I wanted to do, and was a big social bunny on top of that. In fact, sarcasma and shoefiend are probably sick of me, since I saw them Saturday, Sunday and Monday. :)

( Quick weekend update )

And then on Monday night great hordes of people came over (aka starfishchick, circe_tigana, sarcasma, sanity_clause, shoefiend, and vestra and vestra's friend S. (who does not have an LJ yet, although I think we may have badgered her into it), back from Cobourg for the night), and we sat in the ridiculous heat and tried on all the fabulous samples we ordered from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Between the 45 samples we ordered, and the 15 freebies they sent, we were definitely running out of tester body parts by the end of the evening. When you've been reduced to yogic contortions in order to smell the back of your left ankle, you know you're done. However, we all smell fabulous now, and I think everyone ended up with a wish list of other things to try. Also, a book, as I made everyone borrow things from my bookshelves.

I'll post a complete review of my BPAL scents, but for now, let me just say that Puck, in the immortal words of Circe, "smells like dog shit hiding in the grass of the park after a rain". If anyone wants to experience this for themselves, we have an imp to offer up. :)

For those times when comment notification is on crack, this could be a very useful thing.

Assuming you're like me and need to know everything that everyone is saying to you ever. :)

Whoa.

All those different oils, a hot apartment closed up all day-- it's quite the sensory experience.
