Eeep!

I just realized that National Novel Writing Month is coming up again. Now I'm torn....last year was a miserable failure. Do I attempt it again, knowing that its very unlikely I'll get anywhere in it?

Of course that means I will attempt. After all, I learned where I failed last year, right? So that means I can pick something that's easier for me. I do ok with short stories. Perhaps if I have them all be connected, it would work as a novel? That would be more realistic in terms of not losing interest.

Then again, I have been reading quite a few bodice rippers lately. Its not that I'd have to write something good, or something I'd ever let anyone see.

Hmm....looks like I'll be attempting something! Yay! Or boo! It will definately put me into a huge time crunch. Arrrrghhhh! If only I didn't have to do this crazy work thing. Too bad that I'm accustomed to eating and having a place to live.

My car is still fantastic, even though the knob for the radio just fell off. I can glue it back on. Yay for glue!

This weekend will be a grand time with my Pumpkin Carving Party (there may be 15 people and a few kidlets in my apartment for it-should be loads of fun). I'm going to make an attempt at dressing up this year, off to look for costume pieces tonight.

I've been a bad girl lately in terms of ordering perfume oils. There's just been too many limited edition scents that I really "need" to have. Naughty, wicked Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, how dare you tempt me so much! Oh well, at least its something I'll use.

I wanna rock and roll all night...

And on with more fun stuff from me.

Today's scent trial is Snake Oil. Its supposed to be exotic spices and vanilla. And on the reviews for it were fantastic. However, on me its merely ok. It smells nice, but not something I'm overly excited about. I'll use up my sample size of it, but probably won't buy a larger bottle. Unless it changes a lot. (Rumor has it, that if you leave it sit for about 6 months or so, it gets different. So that's what I'll be doing.)

Last night saw me at happy hour. Unfortunately for me, I had just eaten salad for lunch and didn't have a good base for my drinking. After two beers, I was really feeling it, so I had some dinner there, and drank another two. Hee hee! Good thing I had someone along to give me a ride home, and then a ride back to my car. At least I didn't end up spending a big chunk of money to do that. Yay!

I've also been working my way through SeaQuest. Perhaps you remember it, a rather campy and lame submarine show from the 90s? I loved it at the time it was on, and felt like revisiting it. In this case, it started off pretty good...not as crappy as I thought it would be. But quickly turned south. By the end of Season 1, it was downright ridiculous. I'm through the first couple disks of Season 2 and it just keeps getting worse. But not so bad that I won't watch it. Though, I am glad that Netflix only has Season 3 available as a watch it online sort of thing. Without internet at home, I'll just have to miss out on it. Darn.

Let's do the Time Warp again...

My lack of remembering to blog skills have won again!

Rather than try to cover the last few months...I'll just pretend there wasn't a big time lapse here. Yay me!

On Friday I went to a new-to-me restaurant. Smalley's Carribean BBQ in Stillwater. Its awesome. Not only is it decorated in a carribean pirate motif, but the food is good too (the mac 'n cheddar-loaded with bacon and chilies was fantastic). And then there's the drinks. Mind-blowingly awesome. The best drinks I've ever had in my life. It was pure heaven. So I'm going to be dragging everyone who visits me there for quite a while now. Starting tonight. And I'll be back there again Friday. Mmmm....tasty drinks and food for me!

I've been trying out different oils from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs lately. So I'm going to share my thoughts on them too. Ha ha! You will read them and like it! I never thought I was a perfume sort of person. Turns out I just needed to find the right stuff.

Today's Scent is Black Rose (found in Rappaccini's Garden). I'm not a big fan of flowery smells. But this isn't a little old lady perfume. Its smells like an evil rose, corrupted and a bit sinister...without being overpowering. There may be a bigger bottle in my future of this one.
