More video game stuff

Played through Bioshock 2 twice, rushed through the first time and then went more slowly the second time (got 2 of the different endings). I do really like it, the story is not as good but game play is a little more fun, more options of what to do with the little sisters, more plasmid upgrades, etc....etc....now I want to go back and play the first Bioshock again! However.....   I want to get some use out of my SNES and I keep feeling this attraction to older games. I ordered Zelda Link To The Past, and also Megaman X, so I can play those, as well as Super Metroid which I really didn't get into, but would like to start it back up again. I also have Earthworm Jim which is really fun but I didn't get very far into it (I played it on the old Sega Genesis, and was never really good at it, although I watched my room-mate at the time beat the game).   So, anyway......oh I also would like to finish Final Fantasy IV, which I started when I was waiting to play Bioshock 2.   (.....and I'm trying to be a student at the same time, LOL)

Good Judy: B

B Category: LGBT & More Quantity: sample   Description: B N/A   Review:   In the bottle: Citrus and... bergamot?   Wet: Yes, I do smell a sweet herb such as bergamot, as well as citrus or orange.   Dry: Now, I’m getting something floral, possibly honeysuckle.   Verdict: It’s golden, vibrant, and the citrus scent smells clean, of course. Overall, it’s a nice gender-neutral blend.

Good Judy: Lava Rocket

Lava Rocket Category: Starlite Oasis Quantity: sample   Description: LAVA ROCKET Turn it on. Warm it up. Watch it erupt. Get ready for blast off baby! Cassia, clove, black pepper, molten musk, orange lava   Review:   In the bottle: I smell cassia, pepper, clove, and a little bit of musk. So far, it’s alright.   Wet: Hmm, spicy! I get clove and pepper first, then musk.   Dry: Now it’s just old musk...   Verdict: No, not my thing, it’s just too oldish, and maybe a little bit too masculine for me.

SW Feb2010 Shotgun round

Here's an edited list of useful answers from shotgun Feb SW round: These are a few of my favourite things: ...? Family, friends, and fun times w/each. Those rare occasions when my daughter (usually in constant motion) cuddles on my lap. Dark chocolate. Walks in the woods. Reading a good book for the first time. Reading a book or taking a soak in a warm nice smelling tub (or both together) without being interrupted. Being done with the "to-do" list for the day. Cooking something new that promises to be yummy. Live music. Singing w/good musicians.   decoupage/collage boxes and notebooks Sure! As for pictures/themes: Gryphons, dragons, bats, dragonflies, wolves, anything Froud (Brian or Wendy), Keith Parkinson   Soundtrack? Shrek the musical. So love the movie & the Broadway soundtrack is fabulous! REALLY REALLY REALLY wish I could see the show.   Do you prefer coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? What flavors? not coffee. Generally love anything chocolate esp dark chocolate. Always wondered what sort of alcohol would go best w/hot chocolate . . . have yet to experiment. as for tea, love chai & also fruity (herbal, green or white) teas. Bagged OR loose tea is great, although the loose stuff is like an extra special treat for me when I can take the extra time to do it juuuusssst right icon_smile.gif   Mix CD's - I do enjoy new music & a variety of styles of music so any mixed CDs would be great fun.   Fictional Universe? hmmm most of the ones I've wanted to visit were for lustful reasons that OF COURSE I would not be remotely interested in now that I'm married to my wonderful man. angel.gif Firefly would be a blast, depending on what planet you were stuck on. Someplace with magic where I could be friends with gryphons or dragons would be really cool. Mercedes Lackey had a series for each of those . .. . and of course I'd love to be an academic instructor at Professor X's school for the gifted, but my hubby doesn't want me that close to Wolverine   Fav animals- bats, wolves, gryphons, dragons, ocelot, rainbow lorikeets, hawks, eagles, raccoons, turtles.   Makeup and face care samples are ALWAYS loved! Although not so much lipstick, since I almost never wear that. And nail polish is pretty well wasted on me at this point in my life.   home canned goods sounds great. SOMEONE in the house should enjoy it, even if I don't. Unless it's peppers. Only hubby likes peppers & the poor dear OCD man probably wouldn't appreciate them from an unknown "stranger".   hair stuff - I have short hair, but barrettes are always good.   Fav flowers: Lavender, snapdragons, violets, and general wildflowers   Nightie/nightshirt - I usually wear comfy pants & a comfy shirt that are both "not to be worn in public" due to bleach mishaps, stretching out, etc. Something that actually looks half-way attractive would be a nice change (but still needs to be comfy) My fav colors - blue, purple, pink (not pastels) are all good options   ANd I've always wanted to learn to belly dance. Dunno if there's anything you can do with that, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case icon_smile.gif   Love to cook, love new recipes.   Favorite flavors: chocolate, garlic, cranberry, pomegranate, peanut, almond, pecans, brown sugar   Favorite foods/drinks:green & white (flavored) teas, Mead, Mediterranean (HUMMUS!), Asian, a good veggie pizza (with a variety of veg but no peppers) on garlic sauce, seafood , banana nut bread   Magazines you like, but don't subscribe to: Realms of Fantasy, Subterraninian, Veritas, the TAPS Paranormal Magazine, Sojourners, Relevent   - Something that you never buy for yourself, but you’d love to have: movie tickets & dinners out, those fab looking brownies & cookies you see in bakeries for $1-3 a piece, a manicure, chocolate cheesecake. Temp/wash out hair color for light/med brown hair, to create some shade of darker brown and/or reddish highlights. If it covers gray that's a REAL bonus.   kitchen-related gadgetry Love to cook but the only specific thing I've been craving would probably be too expensive: an immersion blender (I may have spelled that wrong)   Do you like incense and/or scented candles, and are you able to burn them in your home? Love 'em - but everyone else in the house is not so crazy about them. So a definite no to incense (I miss it so!) and a maybe to candles. The scent needs to be light & generally vanilla, buttercream or lavender related scents are good.   candy – Generally only chocolate. I love chocolate. Dark chocolate. fudge is good. Nuts are good.   We do Ren Faire almost every year. Been to 1 Con & loved it, but again with the money & free time thing. And I love dressing in costume, no matter what excuse & it doesn't need to be "realistic" just fun   Used books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Personally I'm fine with gently used products (including kid clothes sizes 18 or 24 mo)

Good Judy: Femme

Femme Category: LGBT & More Quantity: sample   Description: FEMME N/A   Review:   Ok, I’m going to look stupid, but I didn’t know the meaning of “femme”. In French, a femme is a woman, but I thought that was too broad. I searched for an expression with femme in it, and I found “femme fatale”, which was an interesting theme, of course, until I searched “femme” in Wikipedia and found out what it means. Well, at least I’ve learned something... On the other hand, a femme could also be a femme fatale, right? Anyway, let’s move on... The scent has no description, so this is going to be a challenge for my nose. I’m sure I’m going to be completely off the track with this one.   In the bottle: The first thing I think about is grape punch. It’s sweet and delicate, with a little something floral.   Wet: Now I have images of flower trees in bloom (maybe lilac?), and a fruit (peach?). Whatever it is, I still get delicate florals with something fruity and juicy.   Dry: This review is about to get worse... It reminds me of wine a little bit, but mostly of a fruit punch I used to drink when I was younger, which was made of grape, cassia, berries, and some other fruits I forgot. It’s not as floral as before, but it’s still sweet.   Verdict: I’m getting a retro pin-up feeling out of this one. It’s feminine, seductive, and very sexy!

Sleipnir

Limited Edition -- Yule 2009   Rather nutty and warm -- I don't get any berries from this at all. It reminds me kind of like dry cereal...whereas Gunpowder was more warm, moist oatmeal. It was fun to try, at least.

Tin Phoenix

Limited Edition -- Anniversary Blends   I guess I mostly get ozone and lemony lemongrass. It's not anything that stands out too terribly, for me.

Spooky (Resurrected)

Limited Edition -- Anniversary Blends   Man, this one is *not* for me. The peppermint and coconut meld together to create a really nauseating scent, like Dimetapp cough syrup. There's a faint hint of dry chalky cocoa behind it, but mostly it's just that weird, gross syrupy scent. Eeek.

Silver Phoenix

Limited Edition -- Anniversary Blends   I really wanted to like this one, because I don't run into pear a whole lot as a component, and when it works it's really divine. However, this one didn't click with me. The pear and moonflower were almost sickeningly sweet and cloying, and eventually succumbed to the fate of all the phoenixes on me, turning into generic cologne and fading away.   I do give it major props for giving an aura of sweet, gleaming silver -- so themewise, it captured the aura of silver quite well.

Pet Magah Bird

Limited Editions -- Yule 2009 -- Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire   I mostly get creamy fruit, so yeah, it's somewhat like Agape. I can't quite identify what fruit I think I'm smelling...I think it's more like cherries, or oranges. Nice and fun, if rather faint.

Mother Shub's Toothsome Banketstaaf

Limited Edition -- Yule 2009 -- Miskatonic Yuletide Faire   I didn't have much material to test, so this one sort of got lost in the shuffle. I'm rather regretting it now, as it's pretty yummy-smelling. As many others have noted, it has a slightly-buttery almond pastry feel. I'm not getting a lot of fruit, though there is a very sweet aspect to it, so I wouldn't put it past the cherry to be present right now. It's throwing pretty well just from the tiny dab I put on. This turned out to be my favorite of Mother Shub's creations.

Good Judy: Shoujo

Shoujo Category: Anime & Manga Quantity: sample   Description: SHOUJO Shoujo is all things girly! Images of fairy tales, summer romances, slumber parties, whispered secrets, giggles, best friends, boys, flowers, and those sugary sweet and innocent teenage years. Fushigi Yugi, Ayashi no Ceres, and anything from CLAMP offer Shoujo at its finest! Apricot, sugar cane, candy hearts, white florals.   Review:   In the bottle: It smells like apricot-flavoured candy, mixed with something floral, or a very sweet and fruity herbal tea.   Wet: Hmm, it’s juicy like a fresh fruit, as if you were biting into a delicious apricot. It’s still very surgary sweet, but the flowers balance the candy a little bit.   Dry: It’s so soft and lovely! I can still identify the powdery candy hearts; but overall, it’s a very peaceful blend.   Verdict: It’s soft, delicate, feminine, refreshing, and absolutely perfect for summer. I like it, although I’m afraid that it might be a little bit too young for me… but I do love it, so it’s on my “maybe” list.
