Pinterest knows me better than most

Earlier today, I was stalling on Pinterest. I ran out of fresh pins on my home page, so I clicked the new option “Preview! Explore Interests” to see what that might yield. It turns out that Pinterest has analyzed my 2500+ pins and now has a really, really good idea of what I like. I was extremely impressed with how accurate it was, especially since there were a few items like magic, spell books and wizards that I couldn’t really connect to my pinning activity. About the only things missing are otters and chocolate.

I admit, there were a handful of categories that had me scratching my head (John Steinbeck? January Jones? Trailer homes?!?), but most of it is spot-on. I also liked the way it made bigger photos for more frequently pinned subjects like writing and board games. And there were multiple variations on my favorite pinning topics: the Avengers, Doctor Who, the Hobbit, Sherlock and writing.

Craving Glorious Purpose

A few days ago, lovely writer Christie Yant sent out a tweet that completely captured my attention:

Which, naturally, made me think of this:

When I sent her a comment to that effect, she explained that the perfume’s name is a reference to Loki! It turns out that Delightful Rot has several Avengers-themed perfumes. While I don’t typically wear any kind of scent, I adore the idea of owning this one. The shop describes it as “A majestic combination of jeweled blood orange and fiery cinnamon” — a scent I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy. I’m going to keep this in the back of my mind as a “maybe someday” pick-me-up. Because don’t we all need some glorious purpose now and then?
