There is a new Made of Fail podcast up!

I can see the PW article and all the comments (assuming nothing has been deleted) as of this moment?

[cleolinda]

I checked right before I posted this, and there was one comment on page one and the old comments on page two--it says, "go to page two for comments under the old system." At one point, there were no comments at all.

I think they did an excellent job with the casting for Thresh and Rue - I'm excited to see them in action. Jennifer Lawrence, she could do it. I'll wait until I see pics or clips of her all done as Katniss.

I need them to cast good people for potentially my favorite characters, Cinna and Finnick, though.

Also, I just spent about five minutes staring at the Tiny Lap Bear, going "who's the cutest puppy? who is?" I want to hug him.

I can't wait for Cinna and Finnick either. I keep rooting for Armie Hammer as Finnick, even though that has like... no chance of happening. (But he's a good actor! And he probably looks excellent without a shirt on!)

[ciara_belle]

Is he the guy in The Social Network? I could see that!

I honestly don't know who I want them to cast as Cinna. I can't think of anyone who quite matches my mental picture.

THAT WOULD BE SO PERFECT

This is more of a question than a proper comment - but I recently spent an embarrassing amount of time looking at bpal's PANACEA and SALON offerings and I'm curious about their aromatherapy. You've been refreshingly candid about discussing depression and creativity/mind blocks and I wonder if you would recommend trying scents in either of these lines?

I really want to try Moxie and Detox; I have Safari, and it's relaxing, but I have issues with sharp lavender. With Somnium, I didn't really like the smell of either Temple of Dreams or Oneiroi, and they mostly seem to be based around lavender, so I haven't tried the others

bpal, huff the pain away

[jane_pancake]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply - I've struggled with some depression/anxiety and slumps in creativity for a few months now - I'm open to trying aromatherapy and your response has pointed me in the right direction. (The catalog is HUGE - I got overwhelmed a bit).

I was also really curious about trying MOXIE - plus the DREAM FORMULA V: SOMNUS and TKO - The Salon collections looked interesting - but I'm leery of buying without huffing first, I'm pretty sensitive to particular scents too. I've been trying to find something to replace my discontinued Honey I Washed The Kids and to no avail, the dupes I've tried smell like Hot Fruit Garbage or Barfsplode.

Anyways - I really appreciate you posting a link to the bpal review board, that will help me make a decision (and I am making a note to include White Light and Wolf's Heart in my imp order). Thanks!

Well, make sure you read over this first--

You can't order imps of the TAL blends, and there are several sections that you can't get samples of, either. (I think you can get the Panaceas as a set of imps--there's more about it on the Panacea page.) I think the general-catalogue version of Wolf's Heart (the one I have) and the Somnium blends are fair game, though.

discontinued Honey I Washed The Kids

WAIT WHAT DID THEY DISCONTINUE THAT?

[soleta_nf]

MTE. I can't picture them in either role. :S

[soleta_nf]

Agreed. And he's blond!

Have you seen the Hobbit videoblog that Peter Jackson put up a few days ago? It's got some nice glimpses of the rebuilt sets.

[soleta_nf]

Why hello there, person I don't know at all.

SHHH IT'S A SECRET. :D I figured out how to comment on LJ using Twitter, which saves me from having to remember the passsword to my ages-ago LJ account. Now I can spread the Hobbity love! And use my Twitter account, which has grown dusty in recent months...
