So Random. Needs a Headline. Whatever.

I'm kind of just ... bleah this week. Just uninspired and eh and gack and not at all sparkly. I'm happy it's finally spring, but Japan continues to break my heart, I don't understand anything about Libya including Gaddafi's wardrobe, we couldn't see the supermoon from our house which was super-annoying or would have been if I could bring myself to care to that level, several dear friends are undergoing various crises and I hate that for them, and I have a bunch of boring stuff that needs to get done.

Fortunately I've been able to successfully avoid the boring stuff thus far because people keep putting this kind of stuff in my line of vision:

Johnny from the video by NAFA,

"Johnny Weir and His Love for Fur,"

filmed at the Adrienne Landau show during NYFW.

Thank you to Ira Lisovskaya for her beautiful screencaps

posted on Johnny's Facebook page!

Won't you support me in my completely lackluster celebration of avoidance behavior by disinterestedly enjoying the video with me?

And then of course for further random languid distraction, there was Johnny's weekend, which thankfully was documented extensively via twitpics from Chris Benz (original photos are here, here, and here). Chris' fab hair also managed to rouse me from my ennui for a millisecond.

The next day Johnny found himself--as would most people who had spent the previous evening having way too much alcohol fun--thoroughly engrossed in contemplating really large random statues and the awesome power of the Internet with a degree of excitement that was certainly irritating inspiring:

The "Родина-мать зовёт!" statue

("The Motherland Calls!") in Volgograd.

At first I was like, "Eh, yeah, so she seems

kinda tall whatever ..." --- until I noticed

the teensy tiny people at her feet. OMG.

Read more about her on Wikipedia, and on this blog.

Also notice that she gives us FACE!

Which reminds me: There's nothing like yet another Russian photo gallery from the Mishin Jubilee to break through even an extreme who-gives-a-f*ck-Imma-just-lie-here-in-my-own-desolation-and-wait-for-someone-to-bring-me-a-Starbucks-or-not-I-really-don't-care-well-actually-that-sounds-kind-of-good-now-that-you-mention-it... attitude. Many thanks to the lovely Natasha Ponarina and her gallery for bringing us gorgeous pick-me-up pics like this:

And this:

And this. Which I leave you with, macroed here in honor of Johnny's Saturday-shopping attitude and my current perspective on everything:

(I actually misread his tweet as "mescaline" at first glance, which broke through my world-weariness enough to completely crack me up: "Damn. They just have everything in Jersey, don't they? Right there in plain sight at the grocery store." I don't think they have either mescaline or mesclun at the stores near me ...)
