Dictionary Update 1

I have been swept up in plans to move at the end of this month to that great city, Chicago, so I have barely gotten through the ac’s of the Dictionary in my yearlong effort to read this 1550-page tome (not counting the essays at the beginning, which are in roman numerals, but count forContinue reading “Dictionary Update 1”

The Year is New and Shiny

Welcome to 2011! I rang in the new year with my best friends, doing one of my favorite things (dancing). The first time I wrote the year was on the time-log sheet at work–had to be in at 9AM (ack). Last year, I resolved to make more mistakes. If I wanted to do something thatContinue reading “The Year is New and Shiny”

Dithyrambic

Today’s word of the day, courtesy of Dictionary.com, is dithyrambic. dithyrambic \dith-uh-RAM-bik\, adjective: 1. Wildly enthusiastic. 2. Wildly irregular in form. 3. Of, pertaining to, or of the nature of a dithyramb. I like to think this describes me.

I Eat Raw Because…

Perhaps this will become a series. I eat raw food. In my mind, I eat 100% raw and living foods, but it never adds up that way (and it needn’t). The main reason I eat raw food is probably the main piece of advice I now perpetuate: it just feels right. So much of ourContinue reading “I Eat Raw Because…”

A Review of DreamHost

When I got a website last summer, I did my research (or so I thought). I looked into guaranteed uptime, and all those numerous factors I’ve completely forgotten about since. I thought I had found a good solution to my needs when I found DreamHost. Positivity before negativity: I never had space issues–I was alwaysContinue reading “A Review of DreamHost”

End of a Hiatus

My website mysteriously began having problems a few weeks ago. First, I wasn’t able to access it from my computer. Then, pages began disappearing. I wasn’t able to access my host’s website, either. Now, the website is completely unavailable. That is why I have switched to a WordPress-hosted site, as least for now. I willContinue reading “End of a Hiatus”

Welcome Back

Good morning (as it is indeed still morning at the time of writing this) and happy new year! I am sitting on the train, travelling from Midway Airport to my apartment via the Roosevelt stop in the Loop (that’s one transfer and 75 minutes of travel at least. When you consider how heavy my bagContinue reading “Welcome Back”

Ham-and-egger

I thought this word was great. It means an ordinary person of no consequence. Thanks to Frances, I am now addicted to the game, Word Bubbles. There are three rounds to each game. Each round, you are given three letters and then you must think of words that begin with those three letters. It’s aContinue reading “Ham-and-egger”

Logophilic Day

I’ve really missed blogging. But I’m in hiding. That’s why I haven’t been around. I have been avoiding people of the ‘net because I want them to forget I exist. Unfortunately, that hasn’t succeeded because they keep asking me for more. In order to get away from the ‘net people, I made a new blogContinue reading “Logophilic Day”
