Wow, it's already Thursday.
Last night I had a nice dinner with my sister and we got caught up over pasta and a nice bottle of Italian wine. I think it was some sort of Barbaresco but I can't remember the name. It was made with Nebbiolo grapes though.
I'm still trying to narrow the eau de toilettes down to my favorite. I'm wearing Cedre Blanc again today. I think it will be a decision between Anvers 2, Escentric 01, and Silver Mountain Water.

Monday, Monday...
Today is the final day of the testing I've been doing with scents. Today's scent is Escentric Molecules' Escentric 01. It's similar to Molecule 01 but it has some added scents to it making it a little more obvious. I think I'm smelling amber and maybe lavender. It's nice and a little hard to place.

Today is Sunday and as always the day started out with listening to This American Life. Today was a rebroadcast of a show I've already heard but I listened to it anyway.
I made breakfast and tried to do some laundry but one machine was in use and the other machine was broken, so I have to do it later tonight.
Right now I'm at my office doing a little work and checking on my ebay auctions (selling some stuff) and it looks like it's going well so far, but it's always the last few minutes of the auctions where things can get crazy. I guess I'll find out the results tomorrow when I come into work.
Today I'm wearing Kilian's Cruel Intentions and based on the packaging I saw on line it's a women's fragrance but it's not too feminine. It has an odd and powdery scent to it that I can't place. It's probably not for me though even though the bottle and box are black.

It's been raining all day so I stayed in bed very late listening to the radio and falling in and out of sleep.
I finally got up and made toast and coffee and then got ready for my "day".
I decided to try out Ulrich Lang's Anvers eau de toilette today. It's been the most floral of all the scents I've tried but does have some leather and wood in it to make it fine for men or women. However, it's not been my favorite of the bunch so far.
02 February 2008
- Black leather short lace-up boots (Demeulemeester)
- Black cotton knee-high socks (Wolford)

- Black cotton v-neck t-shirt with royal blue print (Margiela)
- Black wool/ramie hooded zip jacket (Demeulemeester)
- Black matte finish narrow asymmetrical frames (Theo)
Look at that! It's already February and it's the end of the week. Great!
Today, I'm trying out Creed's Silver Mountain Water scent which I have known about for maybe five years. I always liked the scent but never bought it for various reasons. Creed is an old and famous company who makes several perfumes and eau de toilettes, some have been custom made for royalty, but the Silver Mountain Water is the one that I think has the best smell. It's a very fresh scent with citrus and wood notes.
No plans for tonight after work. I may go see Persepolis with a friend or I may stay home and watch more episodes of Futurama. I don't think dancing is going to happen tonight.
01 February 2008
- Black leather All Blacks (adidas)

Went to see the late showing of Persepolis with friend. Very good movie with an odd soundtrack, and the Einstuerzende Neubauten logo makes an appearance in it. People should go see this film, especially with the current political state in world.

- Black leather knee-high boots (Demeulemeester)
- Grey wool/cashmere cable knit sweater (Demeulemeester)

It's Thursday and I'm ready for the week to be over. I should be getting a package in the mail today, so at least I have something to look forward to.
Today I randomly chose Heeley's Cedre Blanc to wear today. It has a nice clean smell to it: a little woodsy, with citrus and soap accents.

Another day without snow.
Today, I'm trying out Escentric Molecules' Molecule 1. It's hard to decribe because I can barely smell it. It's made from one ingredient Iso E Super (a common ingredient in perfumes) plus the unscented carrier. It's supposed to come and go during the day. We'll see.

*A WHITE DRAWING TO ADORN THE BLANK WALL
Well, it's almost February and I woke today to find that there is still no snow on the ground! I'm getting tired of this.
Last night I got the Second Season of FUTURAMA and watched that instead of listening to Bush's last S.O.T.U. address, because in reality FUTURAMA is more relevant.
I made a cabbage, shitake, carrot & onion stir fry with grilled tofu and quinoa last night that turned out really good. I used chili garlic sauce in it, so it was pretty spicy. I was thinking that I'd rather open a little natural restaurant than do what I'm currently doing, but I don't know if I'd really want to cook for hours everyday. It would be nice if there was a place in town where one could go and get some quinoa and steamed vegetables though, or just a cup of organic soup.
Today it's grey and raining, but I'm meeting friends for drinks after work.
Oh, I'm trying to find a new perfume/cologne to wear so I ordered some samples from a store in New York and for the next week I'm going to cycle through them to find out which one is the best for me. Today I'm wearing Ulrich Lang's Anvers 2, which is nice and has sort of a powdery smell with some leather or wood notes (at least that's what I'm smelling). It's not masculine or feminine which is nice.
