I did not know this, tried it randomly, you can Ctrl+Click objects in the taskbar on Vista and modify them as a group (for purposes of cascading, tiling, closing, etc.) Neat.… (More) “I found a cool thing! :o”

So I made some signatures for a forum I frequent, the standard size is 450×350 (weird eh?) so I came up with about 9 last night.
10 signatures can be found in the More section (56k beware, probably NSFW).… (More) “Some Photoshoppery (Signatures)”

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).… (More) “Small Victories”
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 the same 4.0 oz bottle! I’m sold!
And that’s where it all went wrong.
Of course, I can’t be too much of a prick about this, at $2.50 an ounce it’s the cheapest cologne in my wardrobe. The initial burst is even rather pleasant! Nice crisp citrus with the edges slightly rounded by the sandalwood base. And I love sandalwood fragrances. Give it about 30 minutes though, and you start to see another side. That citrus note gets a little too sweet, almost rotten, and it starts picking up a new note, which to me smells like fir or mint or pine. Something in that area. And then the base vanishes. So you’re left with rotten oranges and pine (rotten orange pine-sol?), and this will be the state of affairs for the next, oh, 15 hours. On two sprays. And I’d really rather not project this stuff, so of course it’s one of the great sillage monsters of my wardrobe.
Or it was, anyway. I gave the bottle to my Dad as I knew I honestly would never wear the stuff again. He took it with him on a vacation to Florida. When he returned a week later, he took his shaving bag and tossed it up on the counter. About a minute later I started smelling something, and something not particularly good either. With a lurching suspicion, I approach the bag and the scent grows stronger. I open the zipper and see a puddle … (More) “Caesars Man: Nuclear Freaking Deathbomb”
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.

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!… (More) “We Are Live”
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 about 16 hours. I imagine I will be amazed at how quick that arrives too.
But, among the things left to pack up is this computer, so I am unplugging. The next blog entry will be from my new place in Louisville.
See you then.… (More) “An Exemplar of “zZz…””
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.… (More) “Uneasy Rider”
