Ever since Ryan gave me the Zelda 3DS bundle & Mario Kart 7 (my boyfriend is amazing) my online presence has grown scarce. I haven't been a news-following fan of Nintendo for a little while, but I think this little hand-held will really take off soon. It's gorgeous & feels so good to hold. The games so far are solid, but there aren't too many of them. I'm really looking forward to Animal Crossing 3D -- in Animal Crossing: Wild World I had the cutest little yellow-roofed house with all-pink interiors and I was BFFs with all the animals in town (except for that one REALLY gossipy bitchy squirrel.) I know Ryan and I are totally going to hang with K.K. Slider on Saturday nights. :D

Also, I got Pushmo after I watched Ryan play it. It is such a good puzzle game! So cute. T_T

I was very bored last night and decided to make a new necklace utilizing some of my Victorian cut steel button collection! I'm not sure I'm sold on the asymmetrical beading I tried, but that could just be my hugely annoying OCD at work. I need to restock on French cut steel beads. I wish they weren't so expensive. :(

I received a gift of the most wonderful smelling perfume! A wonderful family member sent me the full bottle of Hermes' Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, a bottle of perfumed lotion with the same scent, and a little travel vaporiser for freshening up away from home! :D I'm very much in love with this fragrance. It plays nice with my skin -- the initial spritz smells like lychee to me. I don't get the first super bitter note some reviewers commented on.

"Inspired by annual themes at Hermès, the garden perfumes collection is an olfactory stroll, in situ creation, in the footsteps of the in-house perfumer. A sensory stroll along the Nile river. A new translation of freshness: green mouth-watering and tangy scents. A fragrance of light and life, generous and sparkling. Fruity, green, woody."
