OMG! Get out imps, I have SO had enough.

it's all chaos

After dealing with the pain of actually getting it to me, my partial bottle of Chaos Theory II: The Butterfly Effect has finally arrived. It's CCCXC (390) and seems to have aged pretty decently.   In the bottle it's very sharp, almost lemony- very clean smelling. Wet its still very sharp but with a hint of spiciness. Dry the clean lemon scent fades to the back and the spice really pops out on me. The seller thought it smelled like pumpkin but I think its more like allspice or a bit of cinnamon.   If the lemon would stay around it'd be the perfect summer scent.

Addiction

I think BPAL is officially an addiction and needs a BA society to drink with coffee and smell coffee beans with. Little voices keep telling me to get more, but really I am not a slather-er and don't really have the miles of skin all my smellies will need to ever use them all up.   That said I am really piqued to have a sniff of   Tiki Princess (is she really Snow White's tropical cuz?) Panahoe Mahana Polynesian Pop   & Blood drop has just put out White Peach Watermelon Alpine Strawberry and * Apricot*     Oh dear, someone save my soul.

[BANNED] SugarCookie (aka: shadowdoll, Cygnet, fairydoll, sakuratart, playingwithaloadedgun)

SugarCookie created several duplicate accounts on 14 June 2010 after receiving less than stellar feedback.   On 24 June 2010, we instigated an investigation into the duplicate accounts due to the sheer amount found by the analyzer (three mostly unused secondary accounts: shadowdoll, Cygnet, fairydoll; two primary accounts: SugarCookie, sakuratart) and gave them all restricted access.   Between 24 June and 10 July, we had PMed both accounts and found many inconsistencies, and abnormal similarities in IP addresses (including finding that a cell phone had been used to go between the accounts a few times).   On 13 July 2010, we received credible documentation from a member who had sold to SugarCookie and had reviewed their paypal account to see that sakuratart's email address was now listed. The secondary accounts were indefinitely suspended and the primary account (SugarCookie) was given a 30 day suspension.   On 15 July 2010, SugarCookie created another duplicate account, playingwithaloadedgun, and all accounts were subsequently banned.     Moral of the story: when on suspension for duplicate accounts, it is most unwise to create another one.

Bleeehhhhhh.........   My 5th night in a row at work.......do not feel like being here.......wish I brought my real paper journal with me........but I do actually have school work I should be doing. But I don't really have the attention span right now!   I'm finding myself very busy lately, and it seems like there's not enough time in the day to do the things I want or need to do. So I don't even try. With the time I do have I end up laying around playing video games. Ah well, life could be worse, and I really can't complain.   Spending too much money on perfume lately, but that's nothing new. I have Mad Hatter and Baron Samedi bottles on the way, which is awesome.   Can't seem to settle on one topic so that's all for now.

Helios

(I'm not happy with this review....this is just a first draft)   Resinous scents are kind of a no-brainer for me, to the point where I don't even try all the new ones. But I love, love, love Helios. This is kind of an updated Sol. There's also something reminding me of Doc Buzzard, although I can't imagine which note that would be.   Okay, sorry if you haven't had the chance to try Sol or Doc Buzzard. This scent is kind of woody and spicy, but transcends both of those categories. I guess it's kind of incensey, but really high-class incensey. It kind of makes me think of that ultra-expensive Amouage cologne, one of the Jubilation ones (I can't remember which one I've tried, XXV I think), only without the patchouli. So yeah, I guess I am picking up on the frankincense. But it's not being a big frankincense bully with the other notes, like it sometimes does for me. Everything is in harmony.

What happened part one

It was Saturday before I heard something had happened. Already for 72 hours dozens of baby faced teenage boys with bullets in their shoulders, and pregnant women with gunshot wounds to their knees had been bundled over the border by family members. Thousands more stood waiting in no man’s land by the time Al Jazeera reported on the shootings on Saturday morning.   At the time I wasn’t surprised—after all, things like this happen in Kyrgyzstan regularly now. The point about ethnic conflict was not really being reported until Monday morning. Even at that point the media said the violence was due to some gang activity, they didn’t mention men in Kyrgyzstan military uniforms were the ones setting Uzbeks on fire and pulling out their eyes.   By Monday, I was writing indignant emails to friends about how I had not one single message or phone call about the situation, and I work for the main aid organization in Uzbekistan! My boss sent an Uzbek colleague out to review the situation on Sunday and he returned Tuesday with sterile facts about the camps: 3,248 people in Jalalquduq, 4,200 people in Poktabod. My colleague didn’t mention anything about the rapes or the mutilations. He also didn’t mention anything about the toilets, shelters or meals at any of the 40-odd refugee camps being set up along the Kyrgyzstan border. My boss sent me out to investigate along with our health project manager, Adolat.   By then, late on Tuesday afternoon, I had some idea of what was going on. I knew the basic facts—37 camps, 80,000 refugees, mostly women and children—but I also had heard some of the rumors that were being reported, about the decapitations, shootings, and beatings of Uzbeks. I and my colleague drove the 5 hours out to the Fergana Valley and settled into our hotel in Margilan about 10pm. We had no idea what exactly we were doing, with whom we were supposed to meet, or what the implications of this trip (I am talking on a personal level) might have.   At 9:00 we reported to the Andijon airport where the main coordinating center had been set up. Adolat and I sat there for 3 hours waiting for someone to be identified by the government to accompany us to the camps. In the small “press center” where we were waiting, a DVD was being looped showing men and women being carried into the Andijon emergency hospital with gunshot wounds. The time stamp on the footage read June 10, 3:10am. Until this point, I thought the shooting had started on Friday rather than Thursday. Yes, the three press men sitting next to us confirmed, it started Thursday. The DVD lasted for an hour and showed at least 100 people dead and dying, and was accompanied by a small set of laminated, bound pages of pictures of corpses. These photos included men with gunshot wounds to the head, women severely beaten and the charred corpses of toddlers wrapped in blankets.   Our first stop was the emergency hospital where the injured were brought. We donned the requisite white coats (Adolat's actually an MD) and visited the wounded. Everything was white, clean, quiet and bleached. Young men stared languidly at the ceiling while doctors explained their treatments and the surgeons produced before and after x-rays to show to the American what action was taken. Thankfully, we were spared visits with the rape victims but were allowed access only to the ICU where the worst injuries were still recuperating. 170 people were brought to this hospital with gunshot wounds.

Thyme and Rosemary
 

Thyme and Rosemary

Sunday, June 27th 2010         Today is Sunday, June 27th. I have decided to keep a blog of the scents I've tested, as well as the progress of my new garden. I am a black thumb, but the garden is very important. Rosemary for remembrance...Shakespeare. So far I have thyme, rosemary, mint and basil. I long to add more exotic plants to this aromatic garden.   The scent I have revisited today is the beautiful Calliope. The fragrance is everything I want to personify. Clean, fresh, herb-sharp and clarified. Nothing will induce gardening more than the lovely Calliope.   I have never kept a blog before and am unsure as to what I should even proselytize over! I suppose more will come tomorrow, as I hoping this blog with be therapeutic and fun for me to keep even if no one reads it.

Scent Journal
 

#001

Although I have a private LJ (and a blog for cross-stitch) I think a scent journal would be useful. My LJ friends have not the slightest idea of perfume and I don't want to spam their friends list with perfume ramblings. I think a blog here is a nice idea as mostly people who like BPAL will read it (if anyone at all reads it anyway). This will be my space for pondering over what to include in my next order and post short reviews.   With the new update I want to place a new order, so question is what to order?   I think I'll pass on the Fledgling Raptor Moon. I love the concept and the artwork is beautiful but woods are not very me, I'm still unsure how vanilla works for me (same with sandalwood) and I have never tried Hinoki, Massoia or West Indian bay.   Until now I also thought I wouldn't need Chaos Theory because it's too risky but yesterday I got a decant from some CT Vanilla and it's vanilla-creamy orange and smells sooo yummy. Also in the reviews incense hasn't been mentioned much so i'm kinda save. It's not that I don't like incense but I have many imps smelling like it so I don't need more. So I will take the risk and hope for a foody or fruity or floral Vanilla blend.   Also on my order will be Tiki Princess and an Imp pack of the Tiki bar (consisting of Blue Fire, Mahana, Rangoon Riptide, Red Tide, Screeching Parrot and Ehecatl). All those sound delicious for summer! I'm not the biggest fan of warm coconut (Paduan Killer Swarm is nice once in a while but the coconut is a little bit too much), so I hope the cold coconut in Tiki Princess will be as awesome as I hope for.   I plan to get my first GC bottle. With my last order I got an Imp of Glasgow and it's GEORGEOUS!!! I love the heather and blackberry. It's such a subtle, warm and soft blend that I could wear it everyday if there weren't all those Imps to test.   So the (new, edited) breakdown: CT Vanilla Tiki Princess Glasgow Durian Fruit infused Honey and Brandy Imp Pack + some Wandcaps   This will be the biggest order I've placed so far but as it's my birthday in 3 days I think it's okay to make myself a small present ^^   Okay EDIT: I completely forgot!!! I also wanted to order Durian Fruit infused Honey and Brandy. IMO it's the best infused honey because it's not so overly green like Doll's Eye and a little bit more complex than Jerusalem Cherry (which is also nice but I only need one Infused Honey). I haven't tried Yew Berry but that's okay. Maybe the fact that I forgot it in the breakdown is a sign that I shouldn't order it at all? But it's such a nice light scent... And in July I might want to order the Moths and Butterflies when I'm finally done testing them all.

Untangling The Threads

I have enough imps -- and plan on getting enough more -- that I should really start figuring out what works for me and what doesn't. I've learned that some things I like to smell don't necessarily work well on my skin (no surprise), and so far, nothing I dislike actually works on me (again, no surprise). Other conclusions follow. (This is an entry that I will be coming back to and modifying over the years.)   avoid these elements: Dragon's Blood   elements which may work very well for me, but which I need to try in other combinations before I'm sure: wax   look for these elements specifically: tobacco leather   these may or may not be deal-breakers in that they're scents I like (or don't dislike) but that amp to a point where they thuggishly take over a scent: amber sandalwood

Well, allrighty.

Absolutely nothing going on here at work.....very boring.   I want to make another Lab order this week. I really can't afford it, but I want more Chaos Theories before they go away (at least one). But, do I want amber or frankincense? Or another Tilt-A-Whirl? I really don't know. I should just get one of each and be done with it.   I ordered 4 of the Tilt-A-Whirl already......   One is straight-up powdery floral. I guessed poppy and carnation, with possibly a little rose too, like tea rose. This is already living with moonarcana now because it is so much more her kind of thing than mine!   Another one is almost exactly like Cathedral. Seriously, you have to smell them side by side to tell the difference. The Chaos is a little stronger on the woods. It has a cedary note that is almost pungent, but truthfully, it's almost exactly like Cathedral.   One is weird and herbal with sassafras, I think. It's like sassafras without any sweetness. It reminds me of some kind of herbal hair product. It's herbal, but not pretty herbal, or spring-like, or anything like that. If anything, it's almost brackish, but not really aquatic, if that makes any sense at all. Brackish. I'm not even sure what that means but it seems like a good word. Swamp-like?   And finally, one of them is really, really pretty. Glowing reddish orange, florals, slightly fruity, with something warm like resin or maybe amber. It's really great but not quite something that I would wear. I described it as a tropical sunset and that's still pretty much the image I get. Lotus and amber, and more? I'll have to try this one again and really think about whether I want to keep it.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   NOTE 7/9/10: I shipped all remaining packages on Friday 7/9/10. I also brought home my new puppy (whom I had fallen in love with during multiple half-day visits) on Thursday night. So, while I would normally have entered the DCs when I got home Friday, I instead immediately became Puppy Mom. Thus, by the time you are seeing these DCs today, your packages have likely flown most of the way to you!   NOTE 7/7/10: Apparently my head is just not screwed back on after my vacation. I went to the PO today and shipped off four more packages. My iPhone would not function long enough to tell me the address info for Faeu and claw polishes by the time I got to those packages. (Ever since I downloaded iPhone OS 4.0, my phone has been crippled.) SO, I will get to the PO AGAIN either tomorrow or Friday with those two and the Canadian package. I could not make it there in time to ship international again today. :sigh:   NOTE 7/6/10: So, I packed up oils, sprays, claw polish, bottle tape, baggies, bubble wrap, packing tape, and three mailers today. Three. Three for nine packages. Well, okay - I packed the spray in the small box I had. Of course, I got to the PO *right after* they closed, so since the box is on its way to Canada it didn't get to go anywhere. I drove like a bat out of hell to get people their smellies, and my dumb ass forgot to pack mailers in my packing bag. SO, I'm very sorry all nine packages did not go out today. I tried, and will try again tomorrow if at all possible! I had hoped to get to the PO's APC on 7/5, but was back from vacation late. So, please remember that weekdays are hard for me due to work (as stated in my terms on my swap page), but I will do my very best!   PENDING/SHIPPED: JULY

A Bit of an FIL Rant

A bit more detail arising from a 16June2010 post in GUSP, which began I'll link the email here, if I can find it; I tend to delete stuff from him unopened, unless it has Cute Dog in subject line. That strategy even failed me once.   FIL's politics are those of the far-right extremist*, while S. is liberal. (I'm fairly moderate, since you wonder!)   FIL forwards these kinds of things all the time, to everyone whether they have specifically asked to be left off the list or not. When called on it, he becomes defensive. Any attempt to have a rational discussion is labelled a personal attack.   I’m trying to describe this all as clinically as possible, and I pride myself on being a diplomatic person, but I am genuinesly amazed at what a horrible "debate" skills FIL has.   The first time that S. broke all contact with his father – six or seven years ago, maybe? – he was eventually persuaded to “make peace for the sake of the rest of the family”. My FIL did not make any concessions; he was asked to not bring up politics at family functions, but has done so (at a much lower frequency than before, at least). So, Hubs pretty much feels like he gave up his own principles, and was pressured to do so. Furthermore, he is hurt than no one in the family, including me, spoke up in alliance with him. He felt, and feels, disrespected both in his father's actions and words and in the lack of visible support from the rest of the family.   Now, for myself, while I hold strong beliefs and opinions, I prefer not to debate them. I’m not really interested in converting anyone else to my position. I don’t mind learning new facts about the other position, or even a well-reasoned explanation of why one might hold it, and I’ll do the same. I’m even open to changing my mind. But I don’t enjoy the types of politico-philosophical arguments that some do, where the only goal seems to be . . . I don’t even know what the goal is. Thus, I remain quiet, as I did when discussions turned political at the dinner table. In my mind, I wasn't failing to support S., I was merely maintaining my own right not to be baited. He sees it a bit differently. Hubs feels strongly that, in instances where the other party is Just Plain Wrong, we all have a responsibility to speak out against it, no matter how difficult it may be to do. I am starting to see his point on that . . . I’m still not comfortable doing it, but I do take Truth and Justice pretty seriously, and so I have resolved to do better. Whatever that might mean.   I'm not looking forward to confronation with my FIL. He and I have a very good relationship. There's even a slim chance that he'll listen to me, whether it would result in any lasting change or not. And of course that lends a whiff of guilt to my . . . cowardice about not wanting to get involved.   *I hate "labelling" groups, even - or especially - for the reason that I do not agree with their politics. Don't these groups, no matter how extreme, have the right to their positions? I believe that they do; but there is a difference with holding different beliefs, based on the same empirical facts, and groups that spread lies as the only apparent support for their beliefs. Sadly, such groups do exist, and my FIL, God help us, proudly allies himself with them. In any case, I won't use loaded terminology like "Right-Wing-Nut".
