No Cooler Required

Chris: Hey, look, Dad! They have 12-packs of kidneys!

Peter: Yeah, but you got to buy the cooler, too. That’s how they get you.

So I realized today that I’ve been sitting on the opportunity to get a free domain name through my host and have gone about three months without actually taking advantage of it. What sucks is I have a few projects I’m thinking about, but nothing I would call domain name worthy at the moment. I don’t really need one for fragrance because I have nothing to really contribute aside from reviews which I’d just as soon do on here. Speaking of, I’ve got about a dozen mini-reviews coming over the next week or so as I experiment with my niche samples, these in particular:

MPG - Santal Noble
Tauer - L’Air du desert marocain
Montale - Black Aoud
Monocle x CdG: Scent One - Hinoki
Amouage - Jubilation XXV

By Kilian - Cruel Intentions
By Kilian - A Taste of Heaven
By Kilian - Straight to Heaven
L’Artisan - Tea For Two
L’Artisan - Mechant Loup
CdG Series 3: Incense - Kyoto
Montale - Attar
Cereus - No. 7

The ones in bold have already been sampled and I’m gonna try and review all of them before bed tonight. If anyone has ideas for a new domain let me know. ;\

To Do List - 6 August 2008

  • More cologne reviews.  Get off your ass and write one at least every other day.  You have 30 bottles, can you be done in 2 months?  Deadline so set.
  • Start writing the Project: Wardrive article/miniseries.  Time’s not a huge issue here, nothing’s gonna happen for another 6 weeks in the project but there will be quite a bit of research and mapping prior to kickoff.  At least get the intro post ready, there will be a video to go along with it.
  • More posting in general.  You should be embarassed.
  • Laundry
  • Cold Fusion
  • $$$

So, just curious…

Is anyone else watching the UEFA Euro 2008 soccer games?  I’ve been watching a game every morning before class.  Very solid soccer, if you’re a fan.  Makes we want to play again. :(

Ah hell…

I couldn’t get away from it for too long, I’m GMing on a certain private WoW server again. If that’s your kind of thing holler at me on AIM and I can give you some more information.

Dear Paul Pierce,

You are a freaking animal.  Best of luck to you sir.

Go Celtics.

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’.

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
be doing something else,
be somewhere else,
or be someone else.

Now consider this:
some people actually live that way
and so could you.

Contemplate this:
What if 90% of the problems you encountered in your life
were mere illusions and only existed in your mind?
In your everyday life
whenever something annoys you,
stresses you, makes you mad, or makes you sad,
consider if that something really matters.

Will you even remember
how you felt in one day, one week, one month, one year,
or what about in ten years?
So when the people you work for pressure you, and fail to understand you, does it really matter?
And when they call you on the phone,
screaming and yelling,
does it matter and should you really allow that to influence your life?
It’s all about choices.

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

The World of Badly Named OD Products, Vol. I

So I’m in lockup this morning getting some tasks taken care of. I stumble across the item you see to your left. It is a real item, I am not clever enough to make stuff like this up. Enter the i.Beat emo, a device that I assume is an MP3 player for people I loathe. I was immediately reminded of a day about two years ago. 6/6/06, National Emo Kid Beatdown Day. I did punch a fellow teenager in his personal grill with my personal fist. And deep down I think we both enjoyed it. Now you can have that joy all the time, by punching the face of anyone that owns one of these things. Remember, that’s the i.Beat emo, available at your local Office Depot. Christ.

The Plan For Today

  • Try and get grades straightened out and transcript sent to UofL.
  • Apartment Hunting on Craigslist.
  • Make a sweep through the game stores, Wii Hunting. If none of the 5 stores have one I’m picking up Rock Band for the 360.
  • Play whatever I picked up in the above bullet point.
  • Write another cologne review.
