Q always causes problems. In scrabble it's the annoyance of needing a U to make a word. Unless you're one of those irritating people that scour the official Scrabble dictionary to come up with stupid words that noone has ever heard of (if you are one of those people, you might like to look here!).
The only thing I've bought lately that starts with a Q is the album Quixotic by Martina Topley-Bird. By choosing this as my daily post, I am giving those aforementioned Scrabble enthusiasts a new killer word - Q and X means a pretty big score - imagine that on a triple word-er! The album itself, incidentally is really good, but hard to describe. I suggest you have a listen to some tracks on her myspace page and make up your own mind.
So, what the hell does quixotic mean anyway? Well, According to dictionary.com it has 3 meanings, so we can take our pick;
- resembling or befitting Don Quixote
- extravagantly chivalrous or romantic; visionary, impractical or impracticable
- impulsive and often rashly unpredictable
I like number 3 best. I wonder if I can get quixotic into a sentence today...........
