i had to look up the word requiem today. i sorta thought i knew what it meant, but i wasn’t exactly sure. so i looked it up. i was close. after reading about the movie “requiem for a dream,” i sorta got the meaning from the context. but still, it’s always nice to be sure. i like this word “requiem.” it’s fun to say. it’s musical on my tongue, fills my mouth nicely. i like the hard qu sound followed by the mellow umm at the end. i probably say it with a goofy midwestern accent, but it sounds delightful to my own ears.

I do declare that dictionary.com is one of the bestest things on the web. I’m also a big fan of thesaurus.com. I’m a weiner and I don’t own an actual physical copy of either. It’s a shame, I know. I’m obviously a bad person.
Did you see Requiem For a Dream? It’s an excellent film but I never want to see it again. Very depressing and disturbing.

i have not seen requiem for a dream. . . my attention span is often too short to see movies in movie theaters, usually i wait for the video.
also, i have a GIANT dictionary and thesaurus. i love them. i got them from my parents for my 25th birthday. they thought i was nutso:
“you want a dictionary?”
“yes! the giant unabridged one.”
“are you sure?”
“yes and a big, fat thesaurus too!”
“ok, but you’re weird.”
I loved that film.
But, perhaps more pertinently, I used to think a thesaurus was one of the sauropods I didn’t know about when I was 6.
so what’s a sauropod??
One of the great, lumbering plant-eaters. I don’t know what sort of success or failure a thesaurus would have been, though.
