WTF?
In 1999, after a couple of years fiddling with that blogging thing on various other people's domains, I thought I had enough things to say to merit my very own corner of this here interweb. In 2007, I suddenly ran out of ammo. Thankfully, that didn't last forever... So, I'm back. Still not dead yet. Like a phoenix from the ashes. Behold.

:: another great word i'll never (hopefully) get to use ::
Today's word of the day on WordSpy: gossypiboma. It's the official term for a sponge left inside a patient's body after a surgical procedure. Because "sponge" was too obvious, apparently, for the medical profession. Probably my favorite thing about the word - aside from how fun it is to say, and the fact that it sounds more like a teenage girl's pastime than anything hippocratic, is that its etymological roots are Latin and Swahili. There just aren't enough words in the English language that are based on Swahili.
On a barely related tangent, Swahili is one of the many languages in which I know how to say "I love you". For those who are curious: nakupenda sana (technically, that's "I love you very much", but you get the picture).
This concludes your rambling and pointless entry for today. I would have remarked on the vice-presidential debate (and, for that matter, on last week's presidential one), but I'm ashamed to admit that I gave up watching Edwards v. Cheney last night after about ten minutes. It was going nowhere pretty, and I stand by my decision to spend that time in the kitchen, cooking and drinking wine. Besides, I do try to (except when drunk and angry at 4 in the morning) stick to my self-imposed rule of no politics in the blog is good politics in the blog. Kind of like punk. Only more annoying and self-absorbed.
