And we’re back with our weekly game!

This week I’m thinking about spring, so today’s word is: rain

And full of awesome words.

Here are some recent words of the day I’ve been meaning to write about.

transmogrify \transs-MAH-gruh-fye\ verb
: to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque or humorous effect

That’s right, transmogrify is actually a word. I always assumed it was something Bill Watterson made up.

I’m delighted to discover I was wrong.

zaftig \ZAHF-tig\ adjective
: having a full rounded figure : pleasingly plump

This is a word that needs to be used far more frequently.

Far more frequently.

saxicolous \sak-SIK-uh-lus\ adjective
: inhabiting or growing among rocks

This looks like a capatcha that we’d define as: “fabulous sax music” but instead it’s something boring.

Augean stable \aw-JEE-un-STAY-bul\ noun
: a condition or place marked by great accumulation of filth or corruption

This term should come up far more frequently when describing the Internet or politics, but it never does.

Today’s word: chilly

Creating Blameless

I first looked at this because I quite liked “Soulless” and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

However, this is worth watching because it’s fascinating to watch a cover being created.

A is for Aztecs

(warned you not to expect anything from me this week)

Expect nothing from me this week.

Instead, I give you awesome geeks.

Here’s the sound that plays when I get a new mail message at work.

Today’s word: corrosive

I have a surprising number of friends who are hockey fans.

Today’s word is: Oxford

My goal for yesterday was to take my camera and get pictures of some of the fabulous icicles around here. However, we spent four hours taking Grandmom to lunch and the grocery store, and I still had laundry to finish, so that plan was nixed. Perhaps I’ll get to it today, but since I’m baking three kinds of bread, I’m thinking probably not.

So you’ll just have to imagine all the fabulous icicles I’m seeing.

Also: Anyone know the incidence rate of death by icicle?

There was supposed to be a post here? With content?

Too bad.

I’ve got a lot on my mind, and none of it creative or interesting. So move along home, SHAP THREE!

It’s Wednesday. I’m going to work instead of on vacation.

Today’s word: fur
