On Smells (A revision of Mill)
I bought some incense the other day. There's nothing special about that. People buy incense all the time. I dont expect a band to follow me around, singing something about Jon buying incense, although that would be pretty cool. I can imagine the lyrics:
Jon. Jon. Jon's buying incense.
He's marching up
to the counter.
He's laying his hard
earned money
on the line
because
he wants to smell good.
And someday, he knows he'll become
supervisor .
Snazzy, isn't it? I should probably become a song-writer.
The store at which I bought the incense had three varities. I decided on Gonesh sticks, because they were cheap and I'd had a pleasant experience with one before. Since I don't really like making decisions, I picked the Random Package, because then someone else would be choosing my scent-sticks.
I brought my scent sticks home and opened them up. The first stick-bunch smelled like baby powder. That's not too bad. An ex of mine used to wear baby powder deodorant. Now, when I feel like it, I can make my room smell like armpit.
The second bunch smelled like liquid government soap. Now, that made me think. Who likes the smell of government soap? Was someone at the Gonesh Sticks company so hard-up for new scents that they decided on Government Soap? I try to imagine the thought process behind Government Soap Scent.
BOSS: We need a new scent. Profits on the new Hospital Disinfectant Scent aren't as good as forcasted. I think the nurse market wasn't as big as we thought.
LACKEY: Hm. How about Preparation H scent?
BOSS: Nah, the geriatics aren't really big on incense. They're more concerned with bingo.
LACKEY: Bingo scents?
BOSS: Hm. That's not a bad idea. We'll stash that away for another time. But, I want to hit the younger market. You know, the hippies with big noses and disposable income.
LACKEY: What's something that younger kids are around all the time?
BOSS: Vaseline and Kleenex scents!
LACKEY: Yeah!
BOSS: No. That's not right. The government wouldn't go for that.
LACKEY: Government...government...government soap!
The scary thing is I think I'm not too far off the mark.
The third bundle smelled like Granny perfume. I guess I bought the Women's Bathroom pack rather than the random pack.

My body clock is a mess. The other day, I went to bed at 7am. Yeah, I know. I like to party. I woke up at 3pm. The sun set two hours later. The next day, I went to bed at 8am. I woke up, today, at 3:30pm. The sun set an hour and a half later. It's 7pm and I feel like it's lunch time. There's something not right with that.
Eventually, I'm probably going to develop pasty skin, and a craving for virgin necks. I know. I'm going to metamorph into a computer nerd.
