lucubration
lucubration \loo-kyoo-BRAY-shun; loo-kuh-\ , noun: 1. The act of studying by candlelight; nocturnal study; meditation. 2. That which is composed by night; that which is produced by meditation in retirement; hence (loosely) any literary composition.
I’m often guilty of lucubration. Somehow thoughts are deeper and ideas more potent when its dark outside, and you have time to dwell on things.
God I miss Caffeine
So, I’m giving up caffeine for 7 days because Social Workout asked me to. And now I have my nearest coworker on alarm duty in case I doze off. And now I find out that this can last 9 days!!!!!!!

winnow
to get rid of something undesirable; to separate the wheat from the chaff with a current of air
I’ve never heard this word before, but I like the idea of being able to winnow out the good from the bad. I imagine it would be useful for large groups of people…”The party began to naturally winnow out the interesting from the boring”. Or something equally pretentious.
I love that they were so simple with the Mad, Sad, Happy (should have been glad), and then threw in the word sycophant.
