Brains are wondrous things.
This is a video I had to watch as an assignment for my neurology class.
It's a neuroanatomist who had a stroke, describing her stroke. It's almost 19 minutes long, but it's well worth watching.
I found this fascinating. Now I want to read her book. I also want to try to figure out how to get my right brain to be a little more active. -
Day of Service
A week ago, Michelle Obama sent me an email asking me to participate in a day of service on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day. Tomorrow I'm going to volunteer at Scarce from 12-4. I hope those of you who are able can also participate in a community service event in your area!

The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley
This was, of course, one of the finest cartoons of the 1980s. I thought I'd better remind you all of it in case you had forgotten. -
Mostly Unchanging Wishlist of Favorites
I'm putting this wishlist here mainly for my own organization because I want to keep track of when I'm low on things. I recently had the unpleasant situation of nearly running out of BPAL Dorian and having no backup. (Yikes.) It's mostly a list of all my favorite perfumes and whether or not I'm currently looking for more.

^ are the ones I haven't tried yet.
I've had really good luck with Carnaval Noir, Carnaval Diabolique ( ( Read more... ) -
BPAL Wishlist
Last updated on 4 June 2011.
The ones I particularly would like to try are orange, but if we're arranging a swap I probably won't turn down anything that's on this list. (Please note, I don't have money to buy these things, but I do have tons of BPAL perfumes to swap.) Also, I really want the starred GC bottles -- I have a lot of LE decants up for ( Read more... ) -
BPAL swap/sale list as of June 2011
Last updated 17 July 2011.
I was sort of out of the BPAL loop for a while and there are tons I haven't tried yet. I haven't swapped/sold much either. So my wishlist and swap/sale lists are very long.
Here's my BPAL feedback page on LJ, and I have feedback on bpal.org too. I've been around in the BPAL LJ communities and the forum since Feb 2006, but ( Read more... ) -
"New Year's Resolution" Sale
One of my new year's resolutions was to remove things from my house/life if I'm not using them. It's November, and my BPAL sales list is minus like 2 bottles since January. Oops. I've got less than 2 months' time to move this perfume on to better, loving homes. Because I'm trying to reduce, this is just a sale. The only swap I'm looking for right ( Read more... )
