It’s just too incredible for me to believe he’d text me from Singapore for a definition check when there’s always the thesaurus in MS Words, not to mention various free online dictionaries.

Then again, it’s really quite a thought-provoking question (dictionary definitions notwithstanding), and my off-the-cuff answer may prove illuminating ... if I go meditate on it for a couple of days.

In other news, my bum just got scorched by the heater (yes, the central heating is still on - it’s a Wellingtonian Spring after all) because I am prancing around in my room in T-shirt and panties.

On the Dumb-o-meter, this definitely rates at least a few notches above not wearing a bra when collecting your clothes from the dryer and thus getting your nipple(s) zapped by static when you accidentally lean too close to the damn machine.
