Odds & Ends

























Last night I happened upon a random episode of "The Sopranos"
It was a lame episode in which Lauren Bacall gets punched in the face.(and I think she yelled out the "F" word, too.)
anyway, I watched Tony Soprano fondling a bottle of perfume for quite a while before I realized it was a Guerlain Bee Bottle.
The episode still sucked, even though it had Guerlain in it.

Some hypnotists find that using scent works very well at bringing out old memories. (they will have their subjects smell various scents: sawdust, roses, baby powder, hay, tar, and so forth)
