Been a while. Here it is:
+ Still don't know how I feel about the QAF series finale, other than sad that there will be no more. Must ruminate. I am looking forward to fic, though, which is, as ever, much more important than canon in my little world. *g*
+ Continued sampling of the BPAL means that I will be placing another order. I'm just in love with Perversion, and cannot envision getting to the end of my imp without having some more around. So I'll be getting a 5 ml of that and one of Neo-Tokyo, which I was hesitant about ordering, since it apparently turns to soap-smell on a lot of people. On me, however, it is absolutely delicious. Starts out woodsy and fruity and then this tinge of metal and thunderstorm comes up that so makes me feel like I'm in one of my many favorite animes. Must. Have. More.
Under the cut are the other six imps I'll be checking out, because I liked everything I got this time around, but those were the only two I loved. And here I thought I'd found my favorite perfume. Obviously, I did not know what the smell of leather wafting around me all day could do for my mood. *vbeg*
Loviatar - The Finnish Goddess of Agony, Torment and the joy found in inflicting pain on others.
The Mistress of Torture, she has transformed in the modern era into the patron Goddess of Dominatrixes.
The slap of slick, hot leather punctuates the warm, sensual embrace of black amber, red musk and dark,
lascivious myrrh. (Good goddess, that sounds... hmmmm.)
Hellcat - A soft, sensual, luxuriant blend with a wicked bite: hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead,
rum and sweet almond. (So very foody. I'm sniffing myself all the time now; I'll probably be downright pornographic once I get this. *g*)
Serpent's Kiss - Seething with passion, yet utterly cold-blooded. Dragon's blood, vetivert and spice. (Haven't quite decided between this and Dragon's Hide.)
Medea - Granddaughter of Helios, Hecate's chosen: Medea was one of the greatest sorceresses of the
ancient world. She is the embodiment of ruthless power, indomitable will and furious vengeance.
Night-blooming cereus, black orchid, black currant and myrtle leaf enshrouded in the incense of Hecate's
cypress and myrrh, and the dark rage of magickal labdanum and intoxicating poppy.
Nosferatu - We've finally caved in to years of requests for vampiric scents. As soft as grave dust
and as dry as a breath drawn within a long forgotten crypt, this is Nosferatu: desiccated herbs
and gritty earth brought to life with a swell of robust and sanguineous red wines. (Goth girl, here. Gotta.)
Black Phoenix - Our signature oil. A dark, languid scent. Promotes hedonistic tendencies
and extreme self-love. You won't stop kissing mirrors for a month. (Have read far too many raves, I must try this.)
+ My bonus is in the mail. - Yep. I'm getting a bonus. Hooray! Ok, so the bonus is paying my bills (promptly, though, as opposed to my usual running-two-weeks-behind), but screw it! I'm celebrating anyway. When I first got chained to the bridal desk 'o doom (tm) the department was running 22k behind; I ended the fiscal season 3k ahead. (I will just congratulate myself, since no one else will, I'm sure.)
Turns out that my intellectual and moral quandaries about marriage as an "institution" and how I think it's all a way for church and state to stick their noses into what should be a private accord between the people entering into such a partnership are, in the end, nothing compared to my (vicarious) lust for home goods. Heh.
Plus, bonus! ::bounces::
Also, GIP. Ha! Thought I'd update without one of those? Ever since HBP, I've felt a resurgence of my love/lust for the Malfoy boy. Many thanks to
frogslayr (to whom I owe tons of fb ::sheepish::) for keeping the obsession alive.
Alright, then. What's everyone else been up to?

Re: Congrats
Will have to do, if it's got all of that! *vbeg*
Ok, you may not have a bonus, but you get paid enough to eat, right? 'Cause that's the very special treat that I'll be able to give myself (for a week or so) with mine. Food. Food that does not come out of a can.
Go me! *smirk*
