Update

Well I'm still sleeping horribly which is a bit distressing. I wake up with chest congestion and a bit sneezy. The sheets and blankets are clean so I'm not sure where the allergen is located.

I'll probably go vote early on the mayoral race and Arnold's reform agenda. Go Arnold! Yee-haw!

Here's a new word for you folks: myrmidon (said "mere-mid-on"). It means a hired thug or unscrupulous underling. It comes from the Thessalian people (the Myrmidons) who were led by Achilles at Troy.

I'm feeling generous so here's another one: inveigle (said "in-vay-gal"). It's temptation though flattery or deception. Comes from French envegler or Old French aveugler (to blind). "The drunken fan tried to inveigle its way into Nick Carter's pants."
