henna day post

It is henna day, and I've been watching Dark Shadows and reading The James Joyce Murder and pondering the recalcitrant chapter seven of the Jo book.

Last night I watched the 1974 Vietnam documentary Hearts and Minds (for Jo book research), which completely gutted me, especially given the parallels with Iraq.

Lines from The James Joyce Murder that made me laugh:

"Let us, therefore, try to see this whole situation as the police are going to see it, and not as we would like to have it represented in a beautifully wrought novel by a writer of exquisite sensibility."

"Another doctoral candidate, acting as scholar and researcher, who seems to combine the manner of Oscar Wilde with the sex life of Frank Harris."

Heeee.

I ordered some stuff from the new BPAL update:

PUMPKIN III
Pumpkin with pink grapefruit, lemon verbena, yuzu, lime, parsley, and mint.

PUMPKIN V
Pumpkin with cranberry, strawberry, red musk, red rose, rosehip, frankincense, fig, jasmine, and carnation.

KATRINA VAN TASSEL
White rose and honeyed cream.

I just wish they were selling last year's Pumpkin III with pomegranate in it again, because my bottle is getting perilously close to empty, and it's my favorite everyday scent.

Time to rinse out my hair...
