Small Victories

The first result of Aramis Havana in Google is my review, hosted on Basenotes.net.  And that’s pretty sweet considering how long it’s been up (not very).

Caesars Man: Nuclear Freaking Deathbomb

Ah, Caesars Man.  You were almost my first online purchase, almost.  Especially at $11 for a big ol’ 4.0 oz bottle.  And in your immediate defense, you don’t sound all that bad, with notes of Lime, Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Amber, and Musk.  Imagine my joy when I spot you at the local TJ Maxx.  $9.99 for [...]

RIP Yves Saint Laurent

One of the great leaders of fragrance (along with fashion and design), Yves Saint Laurent is gone at the age of 71.  He will be missed by the fragrance community. Wearing Kouros today in honor of the man.

We Are Live

Hello from the Bernheim Mansion.  This place is sweet and I’ve just about got the apartment the way I want it.  Pics in a couple days. Oh, and I can ride my bike to UofL, takes about 5 minutes.  I couldn’t find a parking space and walk from the lot that quick!

An Exemplar of “zZz…”

It’s amazing how quickly 36 hours turns into 20 turns into 10, especially when there’s a lot of stuff to be done.  But against all odds, just about everything is loaded up.  I still have some boxing up to do, but the hard work is over.  For this half, anyway.  The other half starts in [...]

Uneasy Rider

With less than 36 hours to the move I have to say…holy crap I still have a ton of stuff to do. And I’m getting sick. And I may or may not sleep tonight. Or tomorrow night.

Wakeup Call

So things were going just a little too well as the days closed to the move.  I just hit a raccoon and my radiator appears to be shot, though it’s hard to tell with no light.  Taking it to the dealer tomorrow and hoping they can get it fixed Thursday or Friday at the latest. [...]

Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts – Laid Back

One of the bigger enablers for a perfume enthusiast is the semi-ghetto establishment known as TJ Maxx.  Unfortunately for me (and my wallet), for the past year I’ve worked next door to one.  Normally it’s a bunch of crap inside, Colors, Wings, Adidas Rehash 7,652.  The usual bargain bin stuff.  But ours gets some more [...]

Let’s Rename It

“The Moment Of Truth” would be a bit more accurate if it was renamed to “Who Wants To Be A Social Pariah?” Just sayin’.

Unapologetic

Nothing says “I’m a hopeless incompetent that can’t see past my own nose” quite like cutting education to balance a budget. Thus dumb kids, through no fault of their own, grow up to be politicians who, in a flash of dazzling idiocy, also cut education so they can balance the budget. Actually it’s probably already [...]
