…and it was pretty chill, besides the presence of the National Guard keeping everyone on edge. I felt bad for those boys to be honest; they don’t really get to pick their assignments and many of them did seem to emphasize with the protesters, considering their ages and races. They wouldn’t talk to us however; Julian’s camera made sure of that.
I don’t really like country music in the first place, but that was kind of fun. This Sir Mashalot, not to be confused with Sir Mix-a-Lot of “Baby Got Back” fame, is apparently Gregory Todd, who is a singer-songwriter and was on the news for writing a song for his friend who needed a heart transplant.
As promised!
When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me,
To sing the sweet chorus of “Ha, ha, he!”– Laughing Song, William Blake
Jo Malone Rain Series
Rain and Angelica
Wet: citrus, floral, vetiver, a little pepper
Dry: vetiver, pepper, citrus, floral, water
This is definitely a more feminine leaning fragrance. A big punch of floral, tempered little by the warm, almost powdery vetiver and bright lime in it. In fact, the last two really just serve to highlight the angelica on me. Very floral heavy. And actually less aquatic on my skin than Black Cedarwood and Juniper. Definitely more dewy than rainy in my head, but it’s perfectly pleasant.
It’s not quite for me because it’s a little too sweet. The lime fades away too fast for me to really enjoy the juxtaposition. It’s still a lovely scent, and I can see this on someone whose favorite season is spring and also stirs honey into their tea.
