11:46 am - BPAL (and other perfume samples) Sale List, updated 5/2008
|
********************************
Mostly looking to sell right now, unless we've prearranged a swap. My stash is overwhelming me.
Much of my stash was acquired by previous swapping, so fill level/condition varies -- feel free to ask about any particular one. On the other hand, many imps are lab-fresh. Most labels are rolled from ammo box storage.
Shipping is $2.00 for imps/decants, $2.50 for bottles, any amount. I take PayPal of any kind.
Negotiable if you want a lot of stuff. Make an offer.
*********************************************************
All off to ebay for now. :(

8:37 am - Perfume on eBay!
|
|
Selling the rest of the unwanted (by me) perfume in one big lot on eBay, for a pittance. Not even really about the money, though money would be nice; just physically do not want this stuff here anymore.Please go look if that's your kind of thing.

7:30 pm - Free Electronics Recycling through the USPS
|
|
The USPS has started a pilot program to let people recycle small electronics by putting them in a free envelope available at post offices. I hope this is successful and goes national.

First dibs to the friends list.
I just did a huge cull of my BPAL collection. I hope you'd like the things I wouldn't.
Here's the link. Comment over there if you want stuff.
I will also send you incense with it, because I rolled a whole lot of it.

Clouds over Chicago
I took a disposable camera to Midwest Furfest in the fall, as part of the Thousand Little Pictures project by Art House. I got a disk with the pictures on it in the mail today. Almost none of the pictures I took on the camera they gave me came out at all. But I'm very charmed by this snapshot out of the plane window on the way back home. |

8:23 pm - Product Review: Breath Palette
|
I drove into to NYC to brunch with out of town friends at Fred's, a dog-themed cafe. After lunch, I realized that I felt weird spending less time in the city than the round-trip driving took, so I took a little walk with the other locals that had been at brunch to do some odd shopping. I succumbed to a Beard Papa creampuff, and resisted a visit into a Lush shop since I'm still officially on new bath product moratorium. But the most interesting thing on the block was a pharmacy which carried the Breath Palette line of gourmet Japanese toothpastes. I'd been meaning to try these for a long time, so I bought 2.
These come in tiny little tubes, white and crisp looking, reminiscent of oil paint tubes. And they come in 32 flavors, most of them rather odd. I skipped the oddest ones, such as curry, which I could not imagine would leave me with an impression of a clean mouth. I chose two I thought were unusual but still likely to be pleasant and fresh -- grapefruit and rose.
These are basically baking soda style toothpastes, mild and sugar free. The flavors are excellent, very natural in character, and strong enough to be easily recognizable and noticeable They fade entirely when the toothpaste leaves your mouth, leaving only the vague aftertaste typical of baking soda/natural toothpaste. I personally find that a little flat and not very clean-feeling, but a lot of people like it, and you definitely won't be breathing roses or whatever for an hour.
These don't have fluoride, which may mean they aren't great for everyday use for some people. There's no minty-fresh sensation. At $5 for a tube roughly twice the size of your typical travel toothpaste, they're pretty dear. But if you are the type of person who likes to mix up the sensory sensations of your grooming routines -- BPAL fans, perhaps? -- these are very well done. I don't know if I'll splurge on them again, but I'll definitely finish what I bought.

8:29 am - My Very Earnest Mother...is confused.
|
I know I've got a number of school teachers and kids' librarians on my friends list, so I thought maybe you'd know. What's the order they teach for the planets these days? Is Pluto still in there, and if so, do I recall right that its orbit is inside Neptune's right now and so is the order switched? Is Eris in there? Is there a new mnemonic?
Rhys asked me yesterday and I realized I wasn't quite sure.
Thanks.

Just a reminder that I'm using Twitter (same user id as here) for the really small stuff, and not mirroring it here. So if you want to hear my random thoughts in 140 characters or less, a few times a day, come find me there.

11:08 pm - vaguely social networking from before the dawn of 2005
|
Due to random digging into old email spurred by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bkdelong, I was reminded of Breedster , a toy from 2004 that had you move a giant insect across a grid and eat, defecate, and fornicate with other users' bugs. I logged into it just now and it's actually still running.
I know I interacted with a few of you on that site, back then. Did any of you keep using it? Did it ever go anywhere more as a concept? Am I just insane?
