Middle of the Week Word (MWW)

So throwing another word at you on this lovely Wednesday.

Today's word is Agrestic (uh-gres-tik): 1. rural, rustic 2. unpolished or awkward

Example: The people in the development of Agrestic on the show Weeds actually have very agrestic personalities.

I don't have any lyrics for this one...sorry.

In other news, I finished the book Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs and I am really amazed at just how crazy it got. Every page I was shocked by an even more insane event. I loved it and recommend it highly. I have also read Possible Side Effects by Burroughs and that piece was really enjoyable as well. Great Author. Pick up one of his books.

See you Friday!!

The First Word

So I am going to post on here a new word (maybe words) every week because the more words you know the smarter you look and sound. (especially when you use them correctly)

this week's word: ennui (ahn-wee): a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from a lack of interest or boredom.

example: My time spent in philosophy class filled me with much ennui. (cause it did, i mean...ennui might not even be a strong enough word)

Song lyric where ennui can be found: "Why can't you be like an art house foreign movie, frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui" - Why Can't You Be by Third Eye Blind from the album Red Star

so ponder this one, look for some good spots to drop, and smile next time you hear it because guess what? You know what it means!!
