Hmm.
Hello there.
Hello there.
It's hot Melbourne weather and I have my top off as I write this.
Don't worry, no photos.
I'll leave that image to your imagination.
It's Halloween and I'm wondering if I can pull off just wearing a hawaiian t-shirt and also if I could deal with being at a party as I am currently a non-drinking casual misanthrope.
I've been unemployed the last month, thus enabling me to focus even more on the small details of everyday life.
Smells like boring everyday life...
Quicky Googling tells me deodorant has been around since 1888 but the first spray model
came out in 1965.
I have been using Nivea deodorant for a while (anagram of Naive, just like Evian, woah)
Nivea Silver Protect claims to have magicial anti-bacterial silver ions.
At my local Coles this week they had Rexona deodorant on special, so I bought one of
their fancy sport deodorants with weird names that don't actually tell you what they smell like.
I went for Rexona Quantum.
It's New.
"Proven to work at 58 degrees"
"One million molecules of protection"
Nice of the folks at Rexona to take the time to count the molecules.
I imagine some Scully like scientist finding the results and calling it in as an X-file.
So what does Rexona Quantum smell like?
It smells like deodorant..
It works but it I cannot compare thee to a rose or anything else in nature for that matter.
It's like deodorants have their own universe of smells now.
Ok so I do the whole online dictionary definition thing and quantum is defined as:
quantum [ˈkwɒntəm]n pl -ta [-tə]
1. (Physics / Atomic Physics) Physics
a. the smallest quantity of some physical property, such as energy, that a system can possess according to the quantum theory
b. a particle with such a unit of energy
2. amount or quantity, esp a specific amount
3. (often used with a negative) the least possible amount that can suffice there is not a quantum of evidence for your accusation
4. something that can be quantified or measured
5. (modifier) loosely, sudden, spectacular, or vitally important
Still doesn't explain the smell.
But the closest I can get is the definition 4. something that can be quantified or measured
So yes it can be measured, but I still can't explain what it smells like.
Better than the smell of my armpits at least.
The nozzle on the Rexona bottle has to be pressed really hard like it's a Mortein bottle.
Actualy I think this Rexona shit could also kill flies in one spray.
And spiders. And children.
Pretty sure it is also destroying the ozone layer.
Sorry about that.
Now I'm going to try and figure out why my fucking mobile phone is putting all my calls on hold.
Happy Halloween.
