word of the day

Today's word is animalcule.

Today's animalcule is this little guy (from Cute Overload):

I'm not a hamster person, but this picture is so cute it makes me want to spell it "hampster." Like how, after reading Flannery O'Connor's letters, I liked her so much that I wanted to adopt her spelling of cheese: "cheeze." Okay, I guess that comparison only makes sense if the hamster spelled it "hampster." Anyway, look at him, he's eating corn with his little hands!

Today's good news is: The Sisters of Mercy are coming back to California. Huzzah!
