Lent--Day 35

THIS COMMERCIAL OMG.

So, here is a liveblog of me watching this commercial:

• I really want a Jaguar.
• No, wait, I only want a Jaguar if it comes with Benedict Cumberbatch.
• Do Jaguars come with Benedict Cumberbatch now?
• I wonder how much extra Benedict Cumberbatch costs.
• I wonder if I have to buy the Jaguar, or if I can just get the Benedict Cumberbatch feature.
• Never mind, I don't want a Jaguar at all, I just want Benedict Cumberbatch.
• Whose idea was this advertisement? I wonder if I can send them a thank-you note.
• How many times can I watch this ad on endless loop?
• So now he's wearing some kind of awesome coat. Benedict. The awesome coats are... [this thought is unfinished because I got distracted]
• OMG he's pouring tea.
• OMG he's drinking tea.
• OMG he's walking down a staircase.
• [sexy voice drop: "And then you turn the thing on properly."] [at this point I fell out of my chair]
• My God, he has gorgeous eyes.
• I also like being around my family, being around my friend, and curling up on a sofa reading a book. Clearly, we are soulmates, Benedict and I.
• I feel dazed. I can't think properly. I think I need a cigarette. And a Jaguar, yes, definitely want a Jag.

I've driven a Jag and always said it would be my car some day. Now I know it's meant to be. Also, I loved that simple tea set. I'm on the hunt for it.

A friend of mine who was far too young for it owned an XK-R for about six months until he came to the same conclusion about it that I did: he was going to die in that car. It was the most incredible machine I've ever had the pleasure of going 100 MPH on the LA freeways in (bad sentence structure, but you get the idea). He sold it before it killed him, thank goodness. I'm glad I never got to drive it, or I'd be obsessed with it for the rest of my life. Just riding in it was enough.

Do you guys realize that you are just making me want to make the owning of a Jaguar MY ULTIMATE LIFELONG DREAM?

I have always only admired them from afar, and in college I really did intend to buy one someday. This has renewed my interest. And that tea set is *gorgeous.*
