I Say Again 'HALP!'

Gah! I stayed up later than I planned to last night and passed out on the couch sometime around 1 AM and slept until noon and now I have so much to do and not enough time and someone cast Slow or something so I can get everything done! Laundry cooking baking packing last minute cosplay adjustments sewing cleaning vacuuming....

*proceeds to run about like a chicken with its head cut off*

(And sorry about Gchat dying last night! Net died and then I could only bring Gmail up in the basic view with has no chat option.)

Panic panic panic panic panic.....

Sometimes I Hate My House

While I was getting laundry, the light burned out in my workroom/laundry room. And my house is a custom built job, so there's no such thing as a normal light. No, they're encased in fancy glass monstrosities, which require tools to unhinge just to get to the bulb. So I grabbed a chair, grabbed a bulb, and went to work unscrewing the glass cap. This in itself was a feat of epic proportions.

Get the glass off, make sure I have all the screws on hand, and change the actual bulb. Spend five minutes trying to get the glass cap back on properly, then try and screw it in. Two screws won't go in, one keeps falling. I keep having to get down off the chair, back up, do the process all over again.

By now my back is hurting, my arms are shaking, and I'm covered in sweat. I finally get the damn thing on right, screwed in, whatever.

It doesn't work.

I somehow screwed back in the dead lightbulb. The process begins once more.

The screws were dusty and old, so now my hands have that feeling like when I've had tarantulas crawling on them for an extended period of time. My arms are shaking, my back hurts, and I'm exhausted. From changing a fucking light bulb.

I want normal lights. Or at least for the light in my workroom to be solar powered like the rest of the damn lights.

Eileen Scent

OKAY! SO! I need to choose a BPAL scent for Eileen. I went through my scents, and picked out my possible options.

For post-attack, possessed Eileen I'm going with:


NYARLATHOTEP

Brooding, yet electric: the scent of buried secrets, roiling nightmares, the essence of the Crawling Chaos, the Father of Knives and Locusts, the Hunter in the Dark. This is the blackest of ritual incenses charged with flashes of ozone.

But what about pre-attack Eileen? Yes, they're different costumes and need different scents. These are my three possibilities:

( Three BPAL Choices )

Leaning towards Hamadryad, because I always associate Eileen with woods. And she does have a nurturing, protecting nature. But the other two could work, too. Any suggestions from my SH-familiar friends?
