Word of the Day

apposite -- –adjective. suitable; well-adapted; pertinent; relevant; apt: an apposite answer.

This word cracked me up for 5 minutes straight. When you say this word, it just sounds like you are trying to say "opposite" but are mispronouncing it for some reason.
Or it sounds like you have a Southern or some kind of weird accent... For example, try saying this out loud, "Those are apposite views." I think the "a" in there is just hilarious... Maybe I'm placing too much emphasis on the "a" and dragging it out way longer than I should? I'm sure even if I used it correctly, people will still think I'm saying "opposite" because no one uses "apposite". There's "apt" for that.

Other news--

  • changed blog name/address to reflect more recent ... happenings.
  • yes, in case you haven't noticed, I've merged my long-time inactive blog with the other blog I had, which I kept secret for awhile. So all the posts that you see here from 9/7/2008 until now have been created in the other blog
