The evening mee(a)ting I had last night went quickly enough--I spent more time at the grocery store afterwards looking for something else to fragrantize the interior of Moby. Those two solid discs of whew I bought a few weeks back had been stewing in the van and so when I decided to drive it last night, I had to roll the window down to keep from getting choked. Just a little too intense, and a little too unlike any known naturally occurring odor.
So, I stopped at Food World on the way back and looked over my options. Of which, there are about 48 billion--stuff that's waxy, stuff that's oily, stuff that's solid, stuff that will play you a soothing song as it stinks up the place, stuff that makes a cute cloud, stuff that clips onto the car A/C vent blades, deodorizer, ionizer, deionizer, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antisocial. And little cutout cardboard pine trees.
I finally settled on a bottle of Febreze (hey, did anyone know it's Couch Appreciation Month!?), even though I absolutely hate the name Febreze. Sounds too much like Feeble Breeze. They didn't have the car version, so I just got a bottle of the plain stuff. Although I hate the name, I really do like the product--it doesn't smell like perfume, but it does smell clean. Interesting, too, is that after I finally got out of the store and doused the interior, the overwhelming odor of the first smelly things seemed to evaporate much quicker. I figure it should smell even better once the carpet and seats are actually cleaned. I took it several months back and had the car wash halfway clean it out, and then took it home and did even more myself, but the rugs really need a good steam.
ANYway--I have some OTHER stuff to get done this morning for our church building committee meeting (that I stupidly set for 4 tomorrow afternoon), so I'm going to mess with that for a bit.
IN THE INTERVENING TIME, go wish Skillzy a Happy Birthday!

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at April 22, 2005 09:26 AMAll of mu.nu shares one gigantic list of banned stuff. That means that if someone bans a word that they've been hit by spammers with, but it isn't always a spam word, comments start getting refused all over the place. Small price to pay, as far as I'm concerned, but annoying none-the-less.
Posted by: Jordana at April 22, 2005 09:38 AMI think Janis got bumped because she was going to point us to the curious Stinko-sound machine made by the Feeble Breeze people. I believe she used a bad word, namely "prod*ct." (Although I don't see how anyone could comment about multiplication without saying that.)
