Giving it a whirl

I've never done the blog thing before--unless you count angst-filled posts on myspace as a teenager. It's time I gave it a chance.

As I was searching my brain for a name for my blog, I hit a road-block and decided to take a detour (taking the bad road because the good road was unavailable). I looked up different words of the day on various dictionary sites. Ingenue seemed best, but then I decided that no one would get it; few probably understand what I changed it to anyhow.

Probably the worst word I encountered was eupeptic. Words that have dual meanings are fun sometimes, but this one... "1. of, relating to, or having good digestion 2. cheerful, optimistic"

Those two definitions should not be juxtaposed.

It's time to go put out fires started because of production errors. Love life at The DU.

Why hello Cindy. Right now you are on the phone talking to Gabe and as I read your blog I realize that I'm sure glad I have you as a friend to help me learn big words. Only you Cindy, only you. (By the way this is Lisa)
