i wish perfumes were not so popularly regarded as an acceptable gift to get for someone whose personality and preferences you don't know well enough to think of a more personal gift, because i really think that might be one of the most personal and subjective purchases. at least to me.

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.

By the way! BBC Merlin, in its ongoing quest to achieve ren faire levels of historical accuracy, used Actual Old English as the magic spell language. They got a professor to do a lot of the translations, though they didn't spend much effort on the pronunciation.

There are two ways that this is very funny if you watch the show while knowing OE. One is that usually when they do the "wave your hands to smash your enemies around" type spells they're literally saying very simple stuff like "jump back" and "fall." The other is that whenever they have a long incantation to read, they say vaguely related stuff for a sentence or so and then just transition into reciting Beowulf.

do any rich distinguished older women (perhaps an art dealer or architect or public intellectual) need a personal assistant who will not do very much work but will develop a crush on them and be paid handsomely for it
