x is a difficult letter
I'm not sure if anybody has noticed my entry-titling convention, or if those who read this blog just think I'm crazy for the weird titles I give each post.
Either way, I'll reveal it for those who haven't noticed on their own: I name my blog entries alphabetically, from A to Z and back again. And when I get down to the end of the alphabet, it gets more and more difficult every time.
I think I've used all the X and Z words that come directly to mind, and even some that aren't really words, so now when I hit those particular letters, I tend to drag out my dictionary and flip to the end. "Hmm," I think to myself, "I haven't used 'xyster' yet. Or 'xerosis.' "
Of course, until "House" comes back for its fourth season in the fall, I probably won't have much use for words that describe, respectively, surgical instruments or "abnormal dryness, as of the skin or eyeball." Ew.
