A milestone around my neck

caddymanIt seems that this is my 3,000th post. My, how time flies.
I thought that it didn’t seem that long since the 2,000th so I looked it up. I’m sure there is a proper method of searching LJ, but I’m buggered if I can find it. Happily, it seems that I tagged that entry as 2,000 so was able to go to it immediately.
I was right, too. Not very long ago at all: February 21st 2007 about this time of day! That’s a thousand posts in just less than 18 months, compared with two thousand in the period January 2003 to February 2007. I’m speeding up marginally; just under 1.5 posts per day now compared with just over 1.3 each day back then.
One day I’ll even have something worthwhile to say!
I choose to mark this auspicious occasion by introducing a complete non sequitur and announcing a word of the day:
sesquipedalian \ses-kwuh-puh-DAYL-yuhn\, adjective:
1. Given to or characterized by the use of long words.
2. Long and ponderous; having many syllables.
Truly a word to conjure with!

;-p
