Word of the Week Wednesday

termagant \TUR-muh-guhnt\, noun:

1. A scolding, nagging, bad-tempered woman; a shrew.
2. Overbearing; shrewish; scolding.

The termagant who had dragged him out on long, boring walks, who had tried in vain to censor his reading, who had labelled him an impious liar and criminal, was dead at last, and the boy, hearing a servant say 'she has passed away', sank to his knees on the kitchen floor to thank God for so great a deliverance.
-- Jonathan Keates, Stendhal

Wednesday nights I have been hooked into watching Heroes, I must say from a less than impressive beginning, the show has really started to come along in it's pace and the characters are now starting to have a bit of depth.

Last night's episode was one of the best i thought, much more into understanding who these people are and where they came from.

I must say I have not been as excited about a tv show since the last series of Dr Who. Now thats a show I am hoping we get again soon. Apparantly they had trouble with getting the rights for the third episode.. Though after just finding out that none other then our Kylie Minogue will be appearing in this years Dr Who Christmas special as a female cyberman, or is that cyber women? or cyber person?...hmmm I'll leave that one to the experts. Needless to say it will interesting to see it come December, but then again we havn't even seen last years Christmas special. Sigh!!!
