BPAL and RH
Oct. 4th, 2007 01:35 pmGot my BPAL order last night: Pumpkin Patch #1, 3, and 5, plus a bunch of frimps. This morning I tried Pumpkin #5.
PUMPKIN V
Pumpkin with benzoin, bourbon vanilla, lemon peel, neroli, blood orange, and red ginger.
In the bottle it smells almost identical to Pumpkin Queen, which I love. Wet, it's very similar too, but a little more tangy. When it dried down, it turned to a sort of orange chocolate scent, which I guess is the blood orange and the vanilla, and the pumpkin mostly vanished. A sweeter, less complex scent than Pumpkin Queen, but I like it.

So far I've been successfully avoiding all the new TV shows, as I don't want to add more TV watching time to my schedule. I may try Pushing Daisies, though, since everyone loves it. I wanted to watch Supernatural last night, but I got started dl'ing too late, so I must wait to see it tonight, argh!!!
Ryan's Hope has been amazing this week, especially Bernard Barrow (Johnny), Michael Levin (Jack), Ilene Kristen (Delia), and most of all, Ron Hale (Roger). The only real weak link is the wooden, teleprompter-reading Michael Hawkins (Frank #1)...especially painful if you've seen the excellent actors who followed him in the role.

I worked on the chapter three revisions at lunch today, as every day this week. Doing a lot of rethinking and embroidering, scribbling longhand on the draft. This weekend I'll sit down at the computer and try to make sense of all the scribbles.
