onychophagia

Thanks to the Word of the Day, I now know that I’m an onychophage. The word sounds really ugly; I may have to kick the habit for that reason alone.

onychophagia (on-i-ko-FAY-juh, -jee-uh) noun

The practice of biting one’s nails.

[From Greek onycho-, from onyx (nail) + -phagia (eating).]

je suis fatigué

I can’t remember the last time I felt this tired at the beginning of a day of work — Monday or otherwise. It was a struggle to keep my eyes from closing during the drive.

I just checked the results for the Berbee Derby 2005 online, and it looks like I came in 16th in the 25-29 age division with 25:09.4, about 8:06 per mile.
