egregious

The coolest day for ages and a great day for a run. So not a great day for having a dodgy back. Bus to work today as the muscle I tweaked yesterday seems to have recruited a number of other muscles in its vicinity, their dastardly plot to immobilise me. While not succeeding, they have certainly slowed me and are making the simple acts of standing from sitting, sitting from standing and getting out of bed somewhat more difficult than they should be. And therefore I am neither running nor cycling today. Bollocks.

I'm rarely attribute things to stress. But there are a couple of signs I am starting to stop ignoring and starting to stop attributing to other stuff. One of those is an increased susceptability to back twinges and another is ingrowing beard hairs. At present I have both. And therefore I say I am stressed. Why the beard hair thing? I have no idea.

Paris Hilton is creditted with using the word egregious. Or rather her attorneys are.

"This action seeks to enjoin perhaps one of the most single egregious and reprehensible invasions of privacy ever committed against an individual," Hilton's attorneys wrote in the lawsuit, which claims copyright infringement, invasion of privacy and violation of her right to publicity.

Wow. She has a right to publicity. Do I have a right to publicity? I am humbled by 'her' use of a word that I had to look up the meaning of.
