Life proceedeth apace
Oct. 16th, 2007 10:08 pmFirst things, please, admire the new iconage, made by the ever talented silverblue. She did me a gorgeous 'sketch' in full size (can be found here) and gave me an icon sized one. Isn't it pretty?
Other stuff. My BPAL addiction has not abated (Caution, as I got complaints last time I linked them, the link takes you addictive places :)) Their Halloween scents are still up, I must nab myself some of the yumminess. And their Yule scents are out. oh my.
- As a side note, I have no trouble with the fact that BPAL have Yule scents up already, instead I'm excited like the traditional kid in the candy store, and yet I can still find it within myself, as noted today, to bitch at the crass commercialism of Christmas decorations and cards and what have you being out in stores already. Go figure, aka, hooray double standards I guess. Though with BPAL (mm, smell that justification) it can be honestly said that I'm excited about new limited Edition scents. I'm the person who almost always has to try the new novelty flavour of something, so the LE scents are like mana from heaven - or grade A crack depending on your point of view. I think next time anyone asks me what I want as a present I'll have to have a BPAL wishlist somewhere :P
Anyway, there are many that I want!! Want I tell you. You know the addiction is bad when you're dreaming about it... Well, oddly, not so much the perfumes, but the phoenix emblem. There was one in my room last night. in black and white. Almost art deco in style really. it was perched in most unflamelike state upon the bookshelf in my bedroom. That would be the bookshelf that does indeed happen to have a lovely black and white scarf thrown over it...
Nae gave me a lovely perfume bottle for my birthday, I'm thinking I might need tos tart a collection of them to keep up!
Horseriding is rearing (ouch, no that pun wasn't intentional) it's very pretty heading my life again. Unfortunately more by hearing of others glorious experience of same than by doing any myself. But since at last count it was 4 in the last week that I've heard tell of, I can tell I'm going to have to rectify this situation in the near future. There's nothing akin to the feeling of a good horse. I hadn't realised quite how much I'd been missing it either.
Anyone got recommendations of places to go with good horses? I know a good enough trail riding place, but...
In other news, the premixed Teqila and Lime by Cuervo packs more of a punch than you'd expect from what's normally lolly water. And by god it's easy to drink. More please! However chocolate tequila doesn't taste as good as one might hope - it might if they'd used dark chocolate. Though now of course I'm wondering if you could infuse your own in similar fashion to vodka infusions. But the lime one was smoother than expected.
Speaking of chocolate, trampoline do a Chocolate Chilli icecream I actually like! - the flavor combination doesn't generally work for me. Maybe it's the addition of cinnamon as well? They also do a Chai flavored one that rocks.
