I have nothing to say about much of anything these days. Not a thought in my head.
Word of the Day for Sunday May 21, 2006A bit of education on a Sunday is better than nothing.bombinate \BOM-buh-nayt\, intransitive verb:
To buzz; to hum; to drone.He is often drunk. His head hurts. Snatches of conversation, remembered precepts, prefigured cries of terror bombinate about his skull.
-- Elspeth Barker, "Nobs and the rabble, all in the same boat", Independent, September 22, 1996Sometimes the computer bombinates way into the night, stops for a bit of rest, then resumes its hum at the early hours of the morning.
-- Cheryl Glenn and Robert J. Connors, New St. Martins Guide to Teaching Writing
Bombinate is from Late Latin bombinatus, past participle of bombinare, alteration of Latin bombilare, from bombus, "a boom."

"Not a thought in my head" Is that, "I can't think of anything worth writing about", or "I'm in the pleasant position of having attained no mind the enviable position much sought after by Buddhists, "prior to thought, prior to desire, prior to any conceptualization at all... not a bombination in sight".
