So my three most memorable mondegreens are these:
1) In The Beatles’ Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I thought the lyric was “The girl with colitis goes by.”
2) In Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Bad Moon Rising, I thought the lyric was “There’s a bathroom on the right.”
3) In Head East’s Never Been Any Reason, I thought the lyric was “Shave my wife, I’m going down for the last time.” Which made more sense to me than the actual lyric.

Today was utterly fucking exhausting. It’s the special kind of exhaustion that comes from planning for a year or so to do something, then suddenly finding out it isn’t possible, then 20 minutes later finding out it is, then 20 minutes later finding out it isn’t possible for a different reason, and then 20 minutes after that finding out that there is an entirely different option that you were previously unaware of that makes the thing you’d been planning to do for a year rather pointless. I think at the end of it all, my situation had actually improved, but what a roller coaster ride getting there.
Gonna go collapse.

petrichor – noun – a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.
Another overly peopley day. Peoply? People-ly? Whatever. There were too many fucking people. I got through it fine. Exhausting, though. In lieu of wisdom, here is a word I’m rather fond of:
Your Word of the Day is pluviophile – noun – a lover of rain;someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days.

“I’m a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I’ll rip your heart in two
And I’ll leave you lyin’ on the bed

That has been going through my head since about 04:00. No idea why.
Anyway, today is the winter solstice, which means tonight, this night right here, is the longest night of the year. Being the unapologetic nyctophile that I am, it is thus my favorite night of the year. It is the first day of winter. There is even a Cold Moon and a simply bitchin’ meteor shower for us to howl at. Which I’d better get started on: it is getting both late and cold.
Here’s your definition for nyctophilia: noun – An attraction to darkness or night; finding relaxation or comfort in the darkness.

Word of the Day:
sapiosexual
Your Word of the Day is “botryoidal.”
Word of the Day: pestiferous
harboring infection or disease.
The janitor had clearly grown tired of the conversation and had begun thinking more about his lunch than the outcome of this colloquy: “No…what you’re going to do is take your pestiferous ass back to that rotting hovel and leave us alone to make babies and drink deeply of the green chartreuse.” It was, it occurred to him at that moment, one of the stranger Wednesdays he’d had in a while.
