Congrats on your award Colleen! I can only agree with the academy's wisdom in recognizing your mellifluous compositions ;).

Oh, and I have always been partial to the word perspicacious...

Book Psmith: Not mean at all - I'd bee feeling similarly grateful were out positions reversed, believe me!

I'm afraid I don't know any books with "rubbish" in the title - but can it be a synonym? Because I think I recall reading a book called "Love and Garbage" by Ivan Klima (I think).

Amateur Reader: Ooooh, those are excellent words! Here a few more of my favourite: moxie, flash, dirt.

Dr. K: You would pick a German word. But now that you mention is, I like leidenschaft (sp?).

Margaine: No end in sight for the strike yet...but it seems to depend a lot on where you are. If you're going to be around the U of T, then you'll probably be alright.

Rohan: I would see someone about that if I were you. ;)

One of my favorite English words is orgulous.
And my favorite German word is Die Staubsauger; vaccuum cleaner or literally dust sucker.

Sorry there is no arguing with the facts - your blog is lovely:) Is it mean to say that seeing that trashy picture made me grateful that my garbage was picked up today? What a stinky situation you have up there. Well I am a little frustrated with the word rubbish right now...I got that word from a random word generator for my take a chance challenge. Do you know any books titles with the word rubbish in them? Some of my favorite words...ubiquitous, nefarious, plebian, quid...this week I am in love with the word odious after reading The Willoughbys. I love lots of words but I hate the word fluffy...just saying it gives me the heebee-geebees.
