Notte

I have to admit that I’m a hedonist for scents.  The sense of smell is the sharpest sense for me.  Scents are powerfully evocative, bringing back blurry memories with crystal clarity and prompting mood changes.

My new absolute favorite perfume is Bvlgari BLV Notte.  Most reviews describe the fragrance as vodka and iris, with notes of [...]

Where there’s smoke.

Drought.  “Red flag weather.”  Dry lightning, careless motorists, and downed power lines.

All of these contributed to the fires ringing the valley I live in – which is now essentially a big bowl of smoke.  Every surface outside is dusted with ash, and the reek of burnt grass is unavoidable. The light has a strange, dim [...]

Recipes, EQ Style

Drama Free Roleplay

Sympathizing with my current annoyance over RDI drama, a SWG roleplayer saw some similarities to another situation and pointed me to Elijas’ Guide to “Drama” Free Roleplay over on Starsider Galaxy. Elijas distills the requirements for avoiding OOC drama into four points:

IC Actions = IC consequences: “If you kidnap the leader of a roleplay [...]

The Tea Party and General Grievous

This is what happens when a six year old geeklet combines her love of Star Wars and teddy bear tea parties.

Road trip photos

It was 105 degrees when we left. Too hot.

Half a tank of gas. . . $4.48 / gallon. We got 40 mpg on the trip.

Smuggling weapons in the cargo hold…

GPS/satellite navigation ROCKS.
