it's been awhile, but here is a post about a word from the english language. i know you have been missing these. don't worry, i'm sure there will be more to come. (hint, hint adriane.)
the word for today is:
sapient \SAY-pee-unt\ adjective
: possessing or expressing great sagacity
definitely a new word for me. and the best part about this word is that i had to look up sagacity. i love when i look up a word and upon reading the definition, i realize that i have to look up another word. my own mini treasure hunt. good stuff.
so the bonus word for today is:
sagacity \si-GA-si-tee\ noun
: the quality of being sagacious
and even better than having to look up a second word...looking up a third.
sagacious \si-GAY-shis\ adjective
1 : keen in sense perception
2 a: of keen and farsighted penetration and judgment : discerning
b: caused by or indicating acute discernment
beautiful. i love words. and i promise to use this word this week. and i challenge you to the same.

all right, all right. i get it, chelle. it's high time for me to make a post here. i am working on it...i promise.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this blog. If I was building my own house I would add a room for words called the vocabularium.
i'm still not sure if i understand the original definition...i must go on my own treasure hunt
stumble back soon, damian.
we've resolved to be more bloggy this year. i have a good one coming soon, with specific aim at bloggers with crappy punctuation skills.
having said that, i'd have a room called the saloon. where there are those swingy doors, fights aplenty, shattering glass, collapsible furniture, dusty cowboys in full western wear, and a piano that never stops playing. that never gets old.
adriane...
oh how i love thee.
let me count the ways...
hahaha.
but really, i do love you.
