Been trying out more of the Black Phoenix goods. Dragon's Heart was a bit of a disappointment. I expected it to be more fruity/spicy from the description. It came off as dragon's blood resin blunted down/diffused with musk, was very "perfumey" (like, say, something by Guerlain), and took about half an hour to not smell sick-sweet. I'll have to try

See, I find that last part funny too. When I eventually have to start writing research crap (sadly, quite soon) my aim is to make it as accessible as possible. I wanna think of all the journalists who may want to report on it, the people who want to pull it up off a database and read it, and especially the college students who have to read it and five other articles that day. = P Academic speech is so far over-rated, and I don't see any other purpose to it nowadays except to sound like a d-bag.

This is not entirely sarcastic.

I would bet that some of them are NFs who are trying to write in their blogs in a way that they think will make sense to the endlessly-frustrating NTs on their FLists. :)

NFs talking like NFs can be confusing some times, but not too difficult to assimilate once I've given things some thought and accessed my mental index of how NF-ery tends to play out.

NFs trying to mask as NTs, which are, for example, surprisingly common in intj make me do this. 0_o

One way it is useful is in terms of mirroring; it gives me some idea of how I sound in your head.

Did the TAB get to you?

TAB?

Oh! Traveling Art Book! I've been watching for it. It still hasn't come.

Yep. I sent it but I'm unsure of how long it will take to get to you. For some reason stuff I send to you tends to take longer than stuff I send to other American friends.
