taratemimaWell, we have the truck. However, I am not sure if we will still have it when I get my shit together and get keys for the place. At least my address is changed with the bank and cell phone. Now, health and dental insurance.
I packed all the books and the trinkets. Now, I will need to pack clothing.
I will also review
Absinthe
Fall under the spell of our Green Fairy! An intoxicating blend containing wormwood essence, light mints, cardamom, anise, hyssop, and the barest hint of lemon.
Wet: Wah-hoo, quite a mix. Top notes are lemon and mint, but it is very anise throughout.
On wrists: The lemon and the mint fade into the licorice with herbs scent.
An hour later: I actually like the change. It turns very green and herbal, somewhat woodsy. I am sure that there is floral, like little white wildflowers. Given the drink's infamy, I imagine that the wildflowers contain some psychedelics when made into wine. The scent makes me think of a hike in the woods--if there is one where Current 93 is sung around the campfire.
Looking at the forum posting: Some got licorice, some got lemon, some got woodsy. I think some folks' experiences with the liquor colored some descriptions. Me? I had a few glasses of Charteuse, because I read Poppy Z Brite and thought it would be cool. On one hand, Charteuse was a beautiful color; on the other, the taste reminded me of NyQuil. I drank it anyway, because it got me drunk real fast.
I'll wear this: Bright sunny days where I can walk in nature preserves.
