Conard is full of ennui when he gets home from a long trip. Too bad for him that I have projects for him to do!

Snap out of it Chris... an idle mind is the devils workshop.

Chris's apoplectic expression was due to his ennui.

Chris C. said...

technically, i don't think apoplectic and ennui go together. one implies passion and the other is the opposite.
