Yesterday I got to wear baggy jeans and a t-shirt and Tevas to work. I had to move hundreds of videotapes from a storage area in the basement of a dorm into the library (2nd story, no elevator). Also, the storage area was full of horrible black mold. It was the day after finals so I felt sort of free, that end-of-the-semester who-cares glee... caught from the students, I think. So I was ready to get my hands dirty and not care what anybody else thought.

Anyway I decided to wear Delphi, even though it smells like alcohol (i.e. mead). It seemed right for the day -- I don't know how I knew this at 9 a.m., but it was. This is the first time I've worn it since I got it, so I wasn't quite sure what I was in for, just remembered that I liked it at first whiff.

It's so good. I think it's my new second-favorite (after Jabberwocky). It smells like greenery and mead -- the sweet, smooth kind, not the kind that tastes like pickles! I felt like Michaelangelo's Delphica (http://www.verbeat.org/blogs/miltonribeiro/Delphica.jpg), beautiful and muscular and wise and slightly mad. I loved it so much I put on more, instead of a different scent, before I went out that evening. This isn't a sissy-girl perfume, and it's not formal. It's MIGHTY.

And today (commencement) was a Glasgow day. Glasgow is my go-to scent for social occasions when I'm on my best behavior. It's so friendly and sweet.

I haven't had the chance to try any of the new imps yet, though, and it's really getting to me!
