Uninspired. That would be the best word to describe how things are going right now. I feel very uninspired in just about every aspect of my life.<\/p>\n

Uninspired in my job.
\nUninspired creatively (as I currently have no creative outlet right now).
\nUninspired in my personal life.<\/p>\n

I even feel uninspired to do anything about being uninspired.<\/p>\n

Is this what middle age is like? Is it a long stretch of tediousness until death? If I were wealthy, I suppose I could buy myself out of this current state of ennui.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile …<\/p>\n

I bought a new toy<\/strong><\/a> from Fort Troff<\/strong><\/a>. I love it when “toys” are on sale.
\n\"Fort<\/a><\/p>\n

“How are they?” … you might ask? Painful. But pleasantly so.<\/p>\n

Friday, I went over the Asheville and grabbed the new Siouxsie and the Banshees vinyl re-issues. They sound pretty good and mostly reproduce the art and labels from the original Polydor releases.
\n\"Siouxsie<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday, A&A and the boyfriend and I went over to Franklin to kick around. We had a nice lunch and strolled Main Street. Sadly, we were a bit rushed as one of the A’s had to be back for a retirement party.<\/p>\n

Sunday, the boyfriend and I made an impromptu trip to Gatlinburg wherein lots of moonshine was drunk and purchased. Those tastings will get you every time.
\n\"Tasting<\/a><\/p>\n

We still like Doc Collier the best (that’s all the tall bottles in the back)!
\n\"Too<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe that is the answer to ennui? Become an alcoholic and lay drunk all the time.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo … the work week is underway. Such excitement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
