So, I've got a blog . . . Now what?

Everyone seems to be jumping on the blog bandwagon so I thought I'd give it a go as well. Haven't really got a clue what I'm going to talk about, but that's never really stopped me from saying something, so . . .

Longueur

from Dictionary.com:

longueur \long-GUR\, noun:
A dull and tedious passage in a book, play, musical composition, or the like.

Longueur is from French (where it means "length"), ultimately deriving from Latin longus, "long," which is also the source of English long.


I've read entire novels that suffered from longueur. The only play I've ever seen for which I believe the word had to have been coined is The Man of La Mancha. That is the dullest thing I've ever seen performed live. I was hard pressed to stay awake during the performance.
