Just to check in--still working on a borrowed computer, as internet is not fixed yet. Woe. And while all your congratulations were lovely (thank you so much!), I should clarify that it was just the drafting I finished (which I considered to be the hard part and the worst of it). We're still copyediting. Oh, and also, I have a fifteen-page paper to write in about a week and a half or so unless I want my incomplete to turn to a fail. So... whee.

I would like to catch up on Lost recaps, but I have no idea when I'll be able to do that. Also, my tape with the Sayid, Kate, and Exodus part 1 episodes got taped over (VARLETS!). So... that'll be interesting.

Have had a steady stream of BPAL samples coming in secondhand... I'd write you reviews, but the copyediting alone is pretty time-consuming at the moment. Suffice it to say that I already ordered a 10 ml of Tamora, and my soul craves full-size bottles of Siren, Wolf's Heart, Titania, Glitter, and Swank. I also ordered, in addition to more imps than I really care to admit, LE bottles of Shub-Niggurath and Arkham Revisited just before they were discontinued. The new Carnaval Noir LEs are up at the main site, but... I don't know about those. I hear Midway smells astonishingly like slightly stale carnival food, and people who like that sort of thing are ecstatic about it. I'm... not so much. Maybe Gypsy Queen.

Have a whole pile of DVDs that have accumulated over the last six months (since my birthday in December), but I have no idea when I'll have time to start watching them. Sister Girl took the plastic wrap off for me and counted something like seventeen. Also a giant pile of books (since same), but no idea on those, either.

(Meanwhile: I leave you people alone for a few weeks, and Tom Cruise decides to go batshit. Clearly, I never should have left him alone like that.)

Oh! The Lovely Emily has moved home! For good! Huzzah!

Some of the Carnaval Noir scents are tempting me to spend more money than I should. Midway sounds like it'll be too sweet for my tastes, as in, I don't need to be chased by bees this summer, lmao. My fear is that some of them will smell like oils already in the general catalogue (leaving me spending dough on stuff I can get cheap). I'm hoping that some of the peeps ordering will feel nice enough to decant the scents when they get it so, if I like any of them, I can order them before the August deadline. :)

Bpal is like a cult, seriously...>_>

Dude, there are Carnaval Noir decanting circles going on (here (http://www.bpal.org/index.php?showtopic=14271) and here (http://www.bpal.org/index.php?showtopic=13852)) on the forums - I'm in one. For $50 you get imps of the entire series, hopefully before it ends. I am extremely interested in Bearded Lady, Gypsy Queen, Snake Charmer and Medicine Show, myself.

I'm in way deep, yo. I went to the BPAL Mad Tea Party last weekend in Brooklyn.
