i am the word of the day!

[kismet09]

WORD: kismet KIZ-met (noun): Destiny; fate
SYNONYMS: * chance * lot * happenstance
WORD WISE: Kismet comes (via Turkish) from Arabic qismah, "portion, lot."

QUOTE: "Applewhite's writings are heavy with kismet: he said he was visiting a hospitalized friend when Mrs. Nettles
entered the room and their eyes locked in a shared recognition of esoteric secrets." -- Barry Bearak, "Eyes on Glory: Pied Pipers of Heaven's Gate," New York Times, April 28, 1997

My mother sent it to me. She apparently gets a digest of emailed randomness, and sometimes sends some of it my way.

Reading at night is messing with my time management/sleep schedule, but this book is so fabulous! Can't stop!

well, i'm something of a completist. they're a little uneven, but i've enjoyed them.
