"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just got hit with a huge case of Doanwanna. I need to get dressed and meet people this afternoon. One is a friend who has been out of town and we haven't gotten to catch up, and the other is my friend and his fiancee who I promised a champagne toast when she moved here for good. Tomorrow Jon wants to paint the front room because he's been trying to be a total adult aparment having person with nice looking stuff. Sunday I have 2 barbeques; one is at a friends house who I haven't seen in a long time, and he always comes down to my neck of the woods to hang out. The other Jon is working. I have housework as well.

But, it's warm and rainy and my puppy is snuggled with me, and I'm felling...not pretty. So, I just doanwanna. Any of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to be at my parents' at 10 tomorrow morning, which time I am somewhat @@ about, but I'm not doing anything else this afternoon or tonight, so I should be ready by then....

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

For those who want distraction, help me decide about jewelry!

I really like this necklace. But I have cleverly figured out that there are places I can buy blank silver decanter labels and have them engraved! So should I have one engraved with "absinthe", "whimsy", or "vampire"? (I have a vague plan to eventually get multiple silver decanter labels so I can have all of those words, but am being good about my budget right now. Therefore, I have to pick only one.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Russian Lord of the Rings

And The Hobbit. The illustrations are... "amazing" isn't quite right....

eta:

Those are the Lord of the Rings heroes we all know but probably never had seen them like this before. In Soviet Russia they had that book too, it was not a full trilogy but illustrations were made by a local artist and look very different from the ones there were in the Western World. Can you guess all of the characters depicted here? The hint, the one on the cover is Bilbo.

I would pick "whimsy," but maybe "vampire" for you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can I go home yet?

I think either Absinthe or Vampire, but I hink I am partial to Absinthr.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Uh, the hobbit needs pants!

Hey, in Soviet Russia... um, they had a hobbit pants shortage.
