What is your favorite scent?
Submitted by Erinen. 

Sephora at Hollywood and Highland today. John Varvatos is a fabulous scent for men. God, I could smell it all the freakin' time. So naturally I spray it on the sample stick and off we go. Now my purse smells pretty.

No prince charming is her beau ideal to lay a rare and wondrous love at her feet but rather a manly man with a strong quiet face who had not found his ideal, perhaps his hair slightly flecked with grey, and who would understand, take her in his sheltering arms, strain her to him in all the strength of his deep passionate nature and comfort her with a long, long kiss. It would be like heaven. For such a one she yearns this balmy summer eve. With all her heart of her she longs to be his only, his affianced bride for riches for poor, in sickness in health, till death us two part, from this to this day forward.

- James Joyce, Ulysses, p. 289

Part of my job in the English department is to sometimes post notes on professors' classroom doors when they've cancelled a class. Today I was sitting in the main office when the phone rang and Lacey handed me a note about who's class was cancelled -- my Tuesday night professor's. EXCEPT he wasn't cancelling his 4:00 (my class) but rather just his 1:00. So my excitement rose then fell all within the span of 2 seconds. The end.

Do you listen to podcasts?  Are there any you'd recommend? 
Inspired by Alex.

Yes yes yes yes YES.

Pottercast.
Mugglecast.
Official LOST Podcast.
Official Grey's Anatomy Podcast.
VH1's Best Week Ever (video) Podcast.
The Onion.

Those are all the ones I listen to as regularly as I can. Mugglecast I actually like a bit more than Pottercast, but I appreciated the recent Broadway Filks episodes on Pottercast. As for LOST, they discuss the show and new things and everything, sometimes talk to actors. Same with Grey's. And since I no longer have cable, I enjoy the fact that I can get Best Week Ever on my ipod. As for the Onion, it just makes me laugh.

The end.
