Big in France.

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 [...]

Ambient

Consider this: 92% of the world’s population feel that their lives could be better. what about you? If you could do anything, anything at all, what would you do? What are you doing now? Imagine that you could live your life, knowing that it could not be better, and never feeling that you would rather [...]

Clinique Happy – Perfume For Ninjas

Happy was one of the initial three fragrances that started me on this journey (along with Unforgivable and Armani Code). Happy and Code were on the Amazon Top 20 in men’s fragrance and me, not knowing where else to start, took that list and started hitting up stores and crossing fragrances off the list. My [...]

The To-Do List for 5/25

Finish writing the Clinique Happy review (it’s a good one, trust me). Start a new project, designing my own WP theme. Clean Move to Louisville You know, in no particular order. :P

YSL Kouros – Handle With Care

In the fragrance world few scents are as hotly debated as Yves Saint Laurent’s 1981 classic, Kouros. On Basenotes it’s more or less a constant stream of asinine chatter. People repeat what they’ve heard, or take a mindset going in to smelling a cologne before actually trying it. For Kouros, the buzzword is “urinal cakes”. [...]

Coming Clean

With six days to the move I find myself awake, after three hours of what would be best described as a full body shutdown.  The stress, the frantic running around, the bureaucratic shuffle with UofL, it all caught up with me today, during my last day of work at the Office Depot in Paducah.  I [...]

Deep Thought, 9:09PM, May 23, 2008

If computer mouses were called computer mooses, I would never be able to keep a straight face at work.

  • About Me…

    I am comfortable enough in my masculinity to own some 50-odd bottles of cologne, and review them when the urge overcomes me. I am the first line of tech support for many small businesses in the Albuquerque region and do web development in PHP/MySQL.
