(no subject)

As much as I hate having to do the mandatory overtime, it's probably just as well that it's there because I've been spending money like a loon.

First, I discovered how to bid on Japanese auctions. I'd known of Rinkya before, but their fees are so high, I haven't been tempted before. And now I've just bid on a whack of things for my creepy dolly collection. This, combined with Ebay, spells immediate doom.

Also, my favorite perfumerie, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, has come out with a limited line of scents called Carnaval Noir. How could I possibly not buy a perfume called Geek, described as "a snarling, feral scent, ever-so-slightly slightly deranged"? I must also get Freak Show, "A strange, disconcerting embrace. . . to some, alarming, and to some, intimately familiar: fig, pomegranate and cocoa bean with lemon, bergamot, vanilla, mellow honey musk, calamus and tonka." Fig and pomegranate, mmmm. I might even get Midway and Shill just to have the olfactory experience in bottles. Just reading the descriptions makes me really want to go to a carnival and load up on fair food.

It's a good thing tomorrow is payday.
