A bit of mishmash, and can you jog my memory? ^^;
--Work today wound up being only five hours, and I'd be surprised if tomorrow is longer than that, so we're being eased in gently, at least. And that should give me a reasonable amount of rewriting time tomorrow as well as on the weekend. (Unless I just jinxed myself.)
--I may have to watch at least one more episode of SHIELD (which I haven't seen since the pilot), based on this casting spoiler. (No commentary under the cut; it's just that the link includes the spoiler.)
--Undented.com has the track listing for Tori's upcoming album, and apparently the first single is coming out in some way tomorrow.
--There's been a lot of perfume talk on Dreamwidth lately, and
synecdochic has just created
smellsgood, which I mention even though I think almost everyone on my flist who's been posting about pretty scents has already joined. *g* I should probably join and see if it inspires me to actually put more of my BPAL collection to work--I have way, way too many imps for someone who hardly ever wears perfume at all.
I seem to be in the position of having a fairly keen but not very discerning (or at least completely untrained) nose, although I'm basing those conclusions on my extremely limited ability to pick out specific notes in my scents, and on the fact that when we had a dead mouse (*shudders*) at Casual Job a couple of years ago, NO ONE ELSE COULD SMELL IT, while the stench nearly drove me out of my skin. I couldn't ID it or locate it precisely, but thank heaven the woman who did building security walked in after we'd gone home, took one whiff, and not only said "Dead mouse!" to herself but located it and got rid of it.
(That day coincidentally happened to be one of the rare ones where I'd put a scent in my clocket and worn it to work, and I was so grateful that I had. I practically taped it to my face to get through the day.)
Tonight's question!
Over the last couple of months, I've wound up talking to several people--all for different reasons, I think!--about their feelings on spoilers and/or specific things they'd like to be warned for in books/shows/etc. But my memory is flat-out failing me on the details now, and it's bugging me, because if someone's told me, frex, that they don't want spoilers in general but would like to be warned for something specific (animal harm, character death, whatever), I want to be able to do that. So, uh, if we've had a conversation that touched on that in comments or something anywhere since, say, November, could you remind me what sorts of things you'd like to not get blindsided by if I say "OMG YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THIS SHOW(/BOOK/MOVIE)?!"
(I know a couple of you have simply said you like/don't mind spoilers at all, but I'm fundamentally not wired to give spoilers for anything at all unless I'm asked a specific question. I have much better success at remembering when someone wants to be warned for something, but if you're spoiler-friendly and ever want me to tell you something [confirm a theory or suspicion or something], you kinda have to spell it out for me.)
