Blargh

You know the phrase 'if it's not one damn thing, it's another'? Yeah, feeling that pretty strongly right now. Cold is waning, but something else has cropped up instead. I've been feeling crampy and bloated for a while, and now everything else has kicked in. Which means today will be spent in bed on heavy painkillers. Not what I had planned to do today in the least. And there is no ginger ale in the house. :/

I got a bunch more Belle and Sebastian songs last night. My folder of music is growing! This pleases me.

zinjadu sent me the first episode of a sci-fi anime called Noein. I watched it before bed, and while I can't say that it jumped out and grabbed me, I am interested in seeing more. I'm going to assume that we're not supposed to have any clue what's actually going on at this point. The main female character looks insanely familiar to me, and I'm not sure why.

I think I'm going to watch a Mysterious Cities of Gold marathon and try not to move.

Next week is bound to be better on the illness front.

My Demon In My View shipment came in today! I'm waiting for lennaofmidearth to come home to open it! But I'm very excited. For those of you who aren't familiar with Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, it's a company that sells hand blended pure perfume oils. These are the highest quality scents I've ever encountered - no synthetic 'perfume' smell to any of them. And their modeled after a variety of historical, fictional and mythical figures as well as drawing inspiration from poetry, legend, nature and a host of other places.

From the website: "Our scents run the aesthetic gamut of magickal, pagan and mythological blends, Renaissance, Medieval and Victorian formulas, and horror / Gothic-themed scents." There is something for everyone there!

Demon In My View was a limited edition line based off of the works of Edgar Allen Poe.

Anyway, one of my fun things to do is match BPAL scents up with fictional characters. I did it with my favorite HP characters a while ago, so here's a little something for the FMA fans:

I know I left out a bunch, but there's already a Seven Deadly Sins line and some of them are difficult! ;) I'll probably do more, at some point.
