Miscellany

We have driven around Albuquerque and seen the sights, which was fun. We have also seen many McDonald's. To the point that I commented on them and then Jenn began pointing them out as if they were important landmarks to note. I commented on the way back that I was going to post that we were cataloguing all the McDonald's in Albuquerque, but she said we missed about seven of them in the core downtown area that we didn't want to go through, and I doubt we'll go pick them up. So alas, my analysis of the distribution of McDonald's restaurants in greater Albuquerque will go unwritten.

(Which it would have anyway, of course.)

We came back to the hotel and began testing BPAL scents. Much to my chagrin and pleasure, it turns out I SHOULD have given into the temptation to buy Tokyo Stomp, as it does truly lovely things on my skin. Fortunately (and unfortunately) it prefers to be "interesting" on Jenn's skin, so she doesn't want to keep the bottle and we're swapping. I'm sorry for her that it doesn't work, but it does like me, and it is fascinating both by itself and sniffed with my beloved Wicked.

GLEE! Also, I believe I have managed to amuse Jenn by my diligent acquisition of tourist brochures from the hotel. What? They're fun!

Yum. Good evening.

We went out to dinner at Zea, which is a lovely place with lovely food and I ordered the duck and...I suspect my face was Very Amusing. dormouse_in_tea will have to confirm or deny, but after I finished the first bite, I said, "and now that I've finished having an orgasm over my duck...." We traded tastes of food - her veal was INCREDIBLY good. I would wish to steal this restaurant and take it home, except I think she would be rather annoyed if I did that. VERY good food. Also very much too large for Laura portions.

Then we came back and played with BPAL. In between storm watching because there is a GORGEOUS lightning storm. I got a couple photos that may come out but if I want any more I shall have to contrive, as the window has now been drenched, making it an unsuitable portal for picture-taking.

Playing with BPAL - I let her smell what Dragon's Eye does on my skin - it is lovely, lovely, lovely. And then we deliberately put a scent of hers with vetiver on me so that she could smell what it does on me. I hate vetiver - and I can recognize a scent that has vetiver in it at once if it has a significant amount, because I'm that tuned to "get the vetiver away". She can now verify that, yes, what vetiver does on me is not pleasant. And that it amps in odd ways.

Storm is pretty. Storm is very pretty. Computer is distracting me from storm, so now I go away from computer.
