Flowering Fields

Today is the day of winter solstice here where I live (North Earth), which means that Christmas is almost around the corner. And since Christmas is supposed to be celebrated with a spirit of universal good will, it would behoove one to use friendly words in one's interactions. However I am right now more inclined… Continue reading Lexember 21 →

Again, that is the second time this month, we face the yawning abyss that is No theme!. Thanks a lot, ConWorkShop. Now I have to come up with some inspiration by myself. And why is the abyss yawning anyway? Has it been sleeping badly? Maybe I can help get the abyss to sleep. My best… Continue reading Lexember 20 →

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum! Avast, me hearties! Adventure on the high seas awaits! Today's theme from ConWorkShop is under the sea. Oh wait, that sounds more like Davy Jones's locker. Or maybe is Hunt for Red October instead. But why not both? And for a topical touch, words like 'missile cruiser',… Continue reading Lexember 19 →

Never thought it would come to this. Thanks ConWorkShop! Today's theme is cognition and thought. So I must nerve up myself, massage my mental muscles, think the unthinkable, consider the inconsiderable, ignite my cognition, contemplate my Visualization of the Cosmic All, and after the ensuing relentless rumination and conscientious cogitation having resulted in a reasonable… Continue reading Lexember 18 →

If you accuse me of being cheesy, all I can say is, "It's a fair cop." But I blame society. Or at least ConWorkShop, because today's theme is cheese and dairy. So follow me, as I curtail my Lexembering activities and wend my way to the Wensleydale Cheese Shoppe, where we may delight in the… Continue reading Lexember 17 →

Why do I write these horribly contrived little prefaces each day? Why don’t I just post a word or two and be done with it? I’m glad you asked, Dear Reader. You see, it’s all about aesthetics. Now on the main page of my site here, you get to see the beginning, the first few… Continue reading Lexember 16 →

Finally, the stars are right. It is time that today's theme from ConWorkShop is stars. Although some people get the star treatment and can even take seven stones and seven stars and one white tree in carryon, I must settle for less. And with fiction as my guiding star, I will raise my eyes to… Continue reading Lexember 15 →

Once more with feeling! The theme that ConWorkShop offer for today is music. Today I didn't have many (indeed, hardly any) variations on the theme, but at least I was able to come up with some categories of musical instrument. I already had the words for wind and string instrument, as well as some specific… Continue reading Lexember 14 →

Some days coming up with new words is easy, some days it is a real struggle. Conveniently, today I could use the struggle itself as inspiration, since the theme from ConWorkShop is fighting verbs. However, Rireinutire already has many fighting verbs, which is I guess to be expected from a people who beat each other… Continue reading Lexember 13 →

And now for something completely different. Today's theme from ConWorkShop is change and transformation. In previous Lexembers, I have done small change and electrical transformers, so this time it might be time for something closer to the spirit of the theme. Fortunately I still had one of the six basic types of phase transition lacking… Continue reading Lexember 12 →
