So very, very lame.

I have ordered vampire fangs.

I'm not even getting them for Halloween. I just want to wear them in general.

Creepy coincidence.

I woke up from a dream about a bull shark grabbing people, letting them get away, and then grabbing them again and pulling them under. I was too freaked out to go back to sleep after that and went to check my email, where I found one from my creepy ex, a former marine biology/marine chemistry major, talking about finding a few of my things at his beach house and asking me to go to a renaissance faire with him.

Um. No?

"Pup cloning recalls Mormon kidnapping case"

Without context, that is a spectacular title for a news article.

Oh yum!

If you ever order perfume from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, seriously, get a sample vial of "Burial." It smells like the whole garden - good, dark soil and all - rather than just the flowers, once the stabby juniper top note calms down a bit.

It was one they gave me for free with my order, and I'm glad they did, because I probably would have never picked it out on my own. (I'm a little ashamed to admit that flashier names catch my eye better.)

Oh, and also, if you like candy-type perfumes? "Lolita" is TO DIE FOR.

My Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab order arrived!

They are either very generous or very clever (or both). I ordered six sample vials and was blessed with two more for free that are to DIE for, and now it'll be even more of a battle to limit myself to two favorites when I eventually order full-sized bottles.

I haven't sniffed them all yet because just briefly opening more than one has overwhelmed the entire house to the point that it smells like the local Flaky New Age Neo-Pagan store I go to sometimes, which has a shitload of incense all over the place. Luckily I like it there enough that the huge mass of smells, while not totally pleasant, at least has good associations for me.

(Back in high school theatre, the director bought a fog machine and held it up and asked the class to guess where she bought it. Half the class yelled out the name of that store, because the smell of it on just that one item filled the classroom...)

Hadn't even been drinking...

I was looking out the window at some birds and wanted to point out a grosbeak, but instead...

"Oh, hey, there's a grapefruit out- ...er."

I wish I had been drinking so that I could have blamed the alcohol for that.
