Come walk with me, let us reason together. Today's theme from ConWorkShop is wondering and wandering. The Rireinukave are very keen on physical activity, so it stands to reason they would enjoy long walks in the forest with heavy packs. And indeed trekking holidays are quite popular. But for some reason, I didn't have proper… Continue reading Lexember 26 (2023) →

Today I'm going straight to the point. The ConWorkShop theme for the day is pointy objects. No time for further spit and polish, I'm afraid.

Outta sight, man! After contemplating their Visualization of the Cosmic All, the eagle-eyed visionaries of ConWorkShop have seen it wise to reveal that today's theme is eyes, optics, and sight. What marvels might we see? At least an ophthalmology hospital ought to be architecturally pleasing, as it is literally a site for sore eyes. And… Continue reading Lexember 24 (2023) →

Rome wasn't built in a day. Rather, it took centuries. You could say that infrastructure was the Roman occupation par excellence. Therefore I think it was entirely appropriate to invoke the ancient Romans when today's theme from ConWorkShop is infrastructure. And what are the most famous infrastructure works of the ancient Romans? Roads and aqueducts.… Continue reading Lexember 23 (2023) →

Oh yes, forgot to mention yesterday that in my native language, 'forbidden' begins with /k/. I'm only mentioning this today because today's ConWorkShop theme is words that begin with /k/ in your native language. So today's sentence has seven such words, in italics in the Human original. In case you are interested, the words are:… Continue reading Lexember 22 (2023) →

Do you have the requisite clearance for this information? Before proceeding any further, please apply at ConWorkShop to have your clearance upgraded. Today's theme is censorship, taboos and forbidden things. So, time to think the unthinkable, speak the unspeakable, touch the untouchable, meddle in all the things Rireinukave was not meant to know. But first,… Continue reading Lexember 21 (2023) →

As tradition dictates, every tenth day at ConWorkShop, the theme of the day is No theme!. And as I promised ten days ago, I would be doing nihilism. I chose not to dress all in black, or to put on gothy makeup or anything, but I did coin the word for 'nihilism'. It's a straightforward… Continue reading Lexember 20 (2023) →

Here's some food for thought. Today's theme from ConWorkShop is vegetables and berries. Time to root around in the fertile soil of your imagination, hoping that your diligent effort will bear fruit in good time. Or if that's too much work, you can just vegetate. Whichever way you choose, water and sunlight in appropriate measure… Continue reading Lexember 19 (2023) →

I met a traveller from an antique land, who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert... And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is ConWorkShop, King of Kings; look on my works, ye mighty, and today's theme is things associated with ancient cultures and civilisations. So what was… Continue reading Lexember 18 (2023) →

Arms and the woman I sing, who, forced by fate and Lexember's unrelenting hate, expelled and exiled, left the ConWorkShop shore. Long labours, both sea and land, she bore, taking up today's theme of poetry, poems and songs. siki nanu tosapañi yakave: sikoti sakimu senota hopokaseva hii teñosunera [senota] to tosi kunusamu ñamakahuvo:this.NOM familiar refrain.NOM… Continue reading Lexember 17 (2023) →
