it was sarcasm actually, this isn't like "pack everything i own and move" moving... it's more "toss my clothes in a few suitcases, drag dad along 'cause he won't let me borrow the truck to grab my entertainment electronics (and we all know how important THAT is), grab me pantry and haul it all of 70 miles away" move... uhm, in engineering-land, interns are provided with furnished housing, for "free"... so it's not half as painful as august will be, where i have to move EVERYTHING to new mexico. and that's gonna be such a huge pain because my dad's insisting on a 6x12' trailer.

actually, the full list can be found by searching for "%" & selecting traditionally masculine (or gender neutral) -- that list is missing the last two updates. my brother loves: aureus loviatar loup garou ...which reminds me, i need to update the reviews...

have a fantabulous time!

sunny, a lighter version of the bubbley smell that feu follet has, warm, energetic. i don't really have a sense of the smells, though...

this smells like cherry slurpees. i didnt really get a sense of the card like i have the other tarots, but that could be because it was so very sweetly cherry that i couldn't sit on it, i had to wash it off.

love it in the bottle, can't wait to try it! the cinnamon and sandalwood stand out in the bottle, but not like screaming here i am, more like nudging other things and going back. balanced and cheerful and happy - which is only fitting, eh.

dry..grassy..green.. masculine.. my mom completely ADORES it.

i think beth is right on with it being a batch difference because my hecate imp was alot more smokey/musky and alot less butter-almondy than my new 5ml bottle in the bottle... but on dry down they are almost the same (at least one me) - the 5ml is just a little sweeter. and i do mean JUST a little.

regardless of the cart used, the user interface can probably be .. massaged .. if it's something that beth hosts. and depending on how well it's coded, there can be features added if they are lacking (like purchasing gift certificates) ditto for the tools to add/edit things. btw, beth, if any of them use a database backend (i haven't looked yet, but i imagine most of them do), i can export the search engine tables to ease the pain of setting it up.

old morocco! and my sister would kill me if i didn't say carnal

your order hasn't shipped yet -- see this post... it'll ship late next week. i bet they ran out of some of the ingredients.

loooove this, it's like the honeysuckle version of harlot only better (which, i'm sure, is the contribution of the myrrh and copal). lovelovelove. and it lasts forever - i can stilll smell the drop i put on my elbow almost 24 hrs later...

wet, this smells pink, very pink, kind of like old fashioned bazooka bubblegum. dry, gimme about an hour and i'll tell you //eta: blah! it's still pink

i've decided to give myself a custom scent for christmas! (though, i'll probably end up starting it in august)

actually, it looks like they've been shipping out end-of-april orders recently, so HOPEFULLY this means they're almost all caught up

yup, same thing.

FYI: hemlock disappeared from the website accidentally. it is still available, though at the moment only in imp form off the website (though you CAN get it via paypal) in theory, it will be returned in the next update.

i think i'm going to go with either bordello or love me ... though if my order comes by friday, that may change!

ugh, dns propogated and now the database is having issues connecting... i'll give it another half hour, but if i can't get it tonight, it'll be down for a day ....that was a painfully stupid problem, but thankfully easy to fix....

sometime this month, as soon as i make my graphic into a template and update my website, i am transferring hosting to a new server what will happen: - i will upload the database and scripts to the new server [and i'll update the single notes ;p] - i will make a small change to the script that's uploaded so i know that the one that's being used - i will update my dns for vanilla.spicybrains.org to the new server - when the script is being shown on my computer as being the updated one, i will shut down the current server this should *not* affect anyone, i just wanted you to know that this IS happening for those that care about the reasoning: i am moving out of my apartment on 5/15, with my clothes, cats, and computers likely leaving the week before. i am moving again sometime between 8/9 and 8/15. since both moves involve change of ip, service would be down during this time - not just the bpal search engine, but my website as well, and we just can't have that! but more importantly, in my mind: i want a steady email address during my move to new mexico. my school email (which is what everyone contacts me with) will be disappearing in early july, and my new mexico one not starting til mid-august. you can see the problem right off! and a bonus, i'll be getting rid of all the spam mail. and when i say all the spam mail, in the months of february and march, i got approximately 12,000 spam messages on my primary email address. (i use a basyean spam filter, reinforcement learning, and it works fairly well... considering the large training library it had )

aight, subdomain should be working as soon as dns propogates, so it looks like it should be a seamless change-over. i do have to update the search script to reflect hte new database location, but that's not a huge horrible problem and will take like two seconds. //edited to add: and i gotta give my peeps at totalchoicehosting props, they charge practically nothing (seriously, i'm paying less than $5/mo, and that *includes* my domain registration), and they've got wicked fast response time on answering questions, and they're being VERY patient with my slow brain about setting everything up. and they've set it up so pretty much everything is automagical. and *now* that i have dns working, it should be changed within 48 hours. the file that's up there for the index.php file has a line at the bottom saying it's the new server, so it will be noticeable.

ok, the change won't be propogating until my domain transfers. but my hosting account has been made and the bpal database uploaded and the subdomain created. all that has to happen now is me figuring out how to get the subdomain to *work*. but i must leave for class now, so that shall be later.

if you like piney scents, you should try aquarius

the change is happening today/tomorrow my account should be created on the new host by close of business today, and my domain shouldn't be transferred until tomorrow, so there shouldn't be any downtime UNLESS the domain transfers before everything's set up with my host. in the event that happens, i apologize. i wasn't thinking last night when i did them both at once, i should have gotten the web hosting set up and THEN transfer my domain. damn finals!

it's also possible that they combined your orders into one shipment.
