I have a magical colour changing shirt... When is aw it in teh store, I love the deep olive green colour of it. I bought it, got it home, puilled it out...and ti was a rich chocolate brown. I stared at it for awhile confused then shrugged and decidedit was stilla ncie colour, if not the colour I'd originally desired and thT I msut have had some sort of vision malfunction. Until later that night...when it was back to olive green. What The...? Apaprently my top is sensitive to UV light - in natural light it's brown, under flurescent it goes green. I've not experienced this before...

I was thinking yesteray that I really need a hammer, or perhaps a needle, to reach that hard to get to "stop overthinking!" button in my brain. I'm told it's there, jsut inconveniently placed. Then it occurred to me that that thought was awfully close to a lobotomy... Yes, I'm a abd woman. And I'll take the overthinking.

Alos, I've suddnely gone from a dearth of new book I want to read being available to a flood. This is both good and bad. Yay for stuff I want! bah! Why can't the releases be staggered. There were something like 5 new books in series I've been waiting for that I saw on a cursory glance today! And while it's great that these come out now that I have $, I must practice tempration resistance and not buy them all at once! No matter how tempting it is to buy them all and lock myself up in my room for a hermit period of reading indulgence! And yes, theoretically I coul ration my buying, but then I worry that the books will sell out and I'll ahve trouble finding them.... Sigh.

Well 2009 was rung in wonderfully, I had a fantastic time, may it be an omen for the year to come.
Here's to a better year and new beginnings.

Happy 2009 friends!

*hugs*

First 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.
