sleeeeeeeeepy

MOON REPORT: waxing gibbous. 82% full.

Even though I can barely keep my eyes open, I had to write something before the moon is full. Why? So I can write the word gibbous. I just wanted to write it. After all, how many times in your life do you utter the word (let alone type the word) gibbous?

If I cared to prop my eyelids on toothpicks instead of typing at a tortoise pace, I might be handy enough to do a bit of a word history. To find the Cliff Clavin factoids about the word gibbous. But, since I can't even see straight and am currently typing with my eyes closed, I think I'll settle for using the word gibbous whenever I can.

Ok. I can't stand it anymore.

You go watch the gibbous moon. I'm going to bed.
