Today's bpal is Vampire's Tears, part of a series inspired by and created for Shojo Beat manga magazine:  "Regret born from ceaseless longing: wisteria, white grapefruit, neroli, green tea, jasmine, white ginger, honeysuckle, iris, and tonka."  I did not know that regret born from ceaseless longing smelled like Sweet Tarts.  Spicy Sweet Tarts, but Sweet Tarts nevertheless. Delicate light spicy floral that doesn't last very long.  I've accumulated enough of these that I will be sending some to eBay soon and this will probably be one of them.

I overslept two and a half hours this morning, waking up about ten minutes before I was due to arrive at work.  If Seti hadn't been making noise in the nightstand, I might still be sleeping now.  I don't like being late and panicked but it was nice to get a generous helping of REM cycle last night.

Finished watching End of the Century last night.  I seriously think Joey Ramone was one of the great tragic figures of the twentieth century.  I hope he was somewhat happy.  I think he was on stage anyway.  If you rent or buy this DVD, definitely check out the extra features, a lot of which is juicy interview stuff that was left out of the main film because it was too off the main story or too negative about somebody who was also featured in the film (Johnny Ramone on Chris Stein of Blondie's abilities as a drummer, for example).  Marky Ramone's segment on drum technique and what made the Ramones musically different is also fascinating.
