“I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?”
Death thought about it.
“Cats,” he said eventually. “Cats are nice.”-Terry Pratchett

| 11:51 am | Having browsed BPAL quite obsessively, I've got a bit of a shortlist going re: the perfumes I want to buy. I want to get this down to six names, and order a pack of 'imp's ears' samples:- Crowley - Infernal musk, red patchouli, lilac cologne, mahogany, lemon rind, oakmoss, leather, and vanilla husk. Spider - White ginger, artemesia, vetiver, nutmeg, King mandarin, bergamot, and lime. Fallen - Cherubic white sandalwood and golden musk with a dark halo of amber, a breath of imperial florals, unbending woods, and the shadow cast by vetiver and violet. Fenris Wolf - Rosewood, amber, red musk and a dribble of red sandalwood. Hellcat - A soft, sensual, luxuriant blend with a wicked bite: hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead, rum and sweet almond. Loup Garou - Primeval in its raw power and insatiable hunger: juniper, cypress and galangal with the barest touch of eucalyptus. New Orleans - Reminiscent of hothouse blooms on a humid night, ripe, but touched with decay. Sweet honeysuckle and jasmine with a hint of lemon and spice. Tintagel - Spicy mulled wine flowing through the musky heat, warm leather and bright clash of armor, the damp branches of Cornish hawthorn, blackthorn, juniper, English elm and bayberry, and the magical tingle of dragon's blood resin. Crossroads - A chill twilit garden of blooms over dry earth and mosses, heavily laden with incense and offertory herbs. Coyote - The warmth of doeskin, dry plains grasses and soft, dusty woods warmed by amber and a downy, gentle coat of deep musk. Bastet - Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus. Baron Samedi - In his honor, we have created this scent: our spin on traditional Bay Rum. Lady Macbeth - sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries. Jazz Funeral - Bittersweet bay rum, bourbon, and a host of funeral flowers with a touch of graveyard dirt, magnolia and Spanish Moss. Anyone ever bought any of these? Thoughts? (I also want to buy 'Black Annis,' but probably shouldn't. The scent description doesn't appeal, but Black Annis herself is such a Leicester legend. I kind of feel obliged! Before going to uni, I'd never lived more than two miles away from Dane Hills) And, er, if the LJ feed is working, er, yes, my IJ account usually is this inane. Sorry guys.

| 3:20 pm | Work have got me a laptop to take home if/when they let me work from home. It is VISTA. Evil, evil Vista. I feel so dirty. I'm having to relearn everything I learned last week. Which means that soon my line manager is going to come over and ask how much work I've done and there's going to be nothing tangible I can show him. Gah. Vista is the devil.
