L’Estate

Nepalese amber, vanilla infused amber, golden musk, sandalwood, golden lily, sunflower, and honey myrtle.

I loooooove this scent. It’s warm and golden and round and lazy like summer should be. With major emphasis on the warm and golden. Though the colour it smells like should come as no surprse considering the notes that are in it.

It’s like…an evening’s sunlight in a bottle.

Libertine

Like a puffed and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads.

Rosewood and chamomile with bergamot, violet, red sandalwood, primrose and Arabian musk.

I get mostly roses from this. And possibly a tiny bit of chamomile, but mostly roses for some reason.

Not a fan of roses.

  • …if Robin had listened to them? Ok, Will Scarlett would be dead. And little Luke Scarlett. And Allan A Dale. But still! 00:00:41, 2011-10-29
  • I realise though, you kind of have to set Robin up as an outlaw right at the beginning and this is as good a way as any. 00:01:40, 2011-10-29
  • And this way Will, Luke and Allan don’t die! This is also making me wonder about surnames in 12th century. 00:02:24, 2011-10-29
  • This priest dude is kind of rubbish at not looking shifty. 00:04:04, 2011-10-29
  • What’s this slowtime, flashback thing? What’s the point? Really? Is this to show Robin thinking? HE DOESN’T THINK, HE ACTS 00:05:06, 2011-10-29
  • I wonder why Guy isn’t helping to fight Robin. The mulch joke is kind of funny though. 00:05:46, 2011-10-29
  • Marian is a total badass. Not sure how no one notices how her hairpin is sticking out of some guard. 00:06:22, 2011-10-29
  • Although this does kind of serves Guy’s purpose – Robin being an outlaw, running off etc. 00:07:16, 2011-10-29
  • Will Scarlett’s first words “I’m just getting some kindling.” Also, I’ve watched too much American TV. Forgot eps were an hour long. 00:08:03, 2011-10-29
  • Oh wait. They’re not. I was just expecting more from the outlaws holding up the newly minted outlaws before the stirring credit sequence. 00:09:00, 2011-10-29
  • All in all, a pretty good first episode. Although kind of a shame that it turned me against Robin as a character for the entire series. 00:09:34, 2011-10-29

Crank

I have got to see this film. Not only does it have one of my favourite action movie stars in it, it looks pretty cool and funny too. Well, funny between all the shooting, car chases and blowing things up and such. ????

Jason Statham seems to have been pigeonholed into the action star kind of role, but I think he’s been in some other less modern-day action hero type roles, which I guess I’ll have to track down and watch. It’d be cool to see him given the oppotunity to do something a little different though.

Walking with a ghost

I first got introduced to the Tegan and Sara song “Walking with a Ghost” through a mashup by PartyBen that mixed it with a song by Mylo. It’s a really great song that I love (well, right now I do) and it’s also been covered by The White Stripes.

I don’t know what it is about this song, but it’s just so catchy and singalongable no matter what version I’m listening to.
