Oh, *Hakkai* (plus Juke Joint)

Saiyuki Reload Volume Seven: So good I squeaked. Ok; I might also have made a kind of "mnuh" noise at the pictures of Hakkai without his shirt on, but admitting such a thing would be frightfully emabarrassing.

Yes. Utter adoration and lack of coherency. "Mnuh" and "Eeee!" sum things up remarkably well, however.

Also! Until The Full Moon volume two! More half-werewolf, half-vampire, gender-swapping lunacy! But I haven't read that yet, so my entirely unhelpful review shall have to wait.

(Oh, Hakkai. Were this any other series, I'd be convinced that he's pretty much due to be killed off. *No* character lives long after I've realised I like them this much.)

Oooh, and the BPAL from strangefrontier arrived :) Along with a teabag that is neither a condom nor a fortune cookie wrapper, an an Unexpected Impostor Imp!

So, Bewitching Brews: JUKE JOINT
A bawdy, gleefully wicked and unruly scent: Kentucky Bourbon, sugar and a sprig of mint.

Really? In the bottle and on my wrist, it's gingerbread soaked in enough booze for the bottom of a trifle. Definitely more rum than Bourbon; it's a Mojito made with dark rum & muscovado rather than clear ingredients. With cake. If there's mint there, it's wild growing crossbred stuff rather than a freeze-dried genteel sprig.

I like this; it has the nice bits of Hellcat without the sickliness.

Amazon order also included much cheesy metal, thanks to adding an album a week during the Bruce Rockinson Dick Show. Warlock! Threshold! Within Temptation!

Mmmm, cheese :) Technically, I'm a Rod (Dad was a rocker; Mum was a mod; following the Liger / Tigon convention, that makes me a Rod rather than a Mocker), but the Rawk genes are clearly dominant ;)


Oh, Hakkai...

JS;LKAHF;LSAGJDK;SA NEW WITHIN TEMPTATION ALBUM! Why did I not know about that?! If it's anything like The Silent Force I'm going to want to lick it.

Your imposter imp came from the same place hullfire's did. Yummy in the imp but the tangerine didn't agree with me. Would you prefer condoms or fortune cookies, or are teabags acceptable random things to add to packages?

I'll let you know when I've tried the imposter :) I'd prefer condoms if I stood a cat in hell's chance of ever getting to use them (without needing to close my eyes & think of fandom...), but ginger tea is a Very Good Second :)

WT = WONDERFUL

I Need More :)

Well, if I had any condoms they'd likely be out of date because it has been a Very. Long. Time. :( Tea, on the other hand, I have lots of, and enjoy it multiple times a day!

I have a load of BPAL I am getting rid of - all their stuff at best smells like medicated talc on me, and at worst like rotting citrus fruit. I will post on my LJ soon with them - I'll give you first dibs as I got some off you last time

Lovely, thanks :)

Sadly, their florals turn to compost heaps on me, but the "suitable for men" scents seem to work.

I shall post what I have and then you can check - the men's ones smell stale on me
