I have a post-it note with words I don't know on my keyboard ledge

Tenebrific - According to thefreedictionary.com it's an adjective meaning -
1. serving to obscure or darken and 2. gloomy; dark.
Synonyms: tenebrious, tenebrous.
So, there you go, tenebrific.

I plotted the beginning of a book out in my head during work today; then I fantasized about all the accolades I would receive because it would be clever and imaginative and have well-crafted characters and then I went to lunch. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It was tasty. Maybe, if I ever become not lazy, I'll write that book. Or maybe I'll make it a short story.

Still scanning old pictures. I tried scanning some color photos but they came out pink. I'll have to figure that out later. Still reading The Swallows of Kabul. People speak in (well-crafted) monologues in this book and it skirts the line between poetic and heavy-handed.

Origins of the Specious amused me by quoting someone I know and U is for Undertow filled in some more of the main character's family history which I've found surprisingly interesting. I may give up on Wizard's First Rule due to lack of interest. 700 pages to go and I've already re-newed it once. There are so many other interesting books out there but I'll give it another 50 pages or so; see if it catches my (fleeting) attention.

Watching Castle now. Haven't watched any TV in a while so onward! Catch-up time on Hulu!
