Esoteric word of the day: “quotidian”

I’ve always enjoyed odd coincidences, such as this one today in the WSJ.

How often do you see “quotidian” in a newspaper? Not, um, every day, I would think.

But today, it was in two pieces, right next to each other, on the same page of The Wall Street Journal. This piece, and this one.

If I were the main character in “Rubicon,” or John Nash, the schizophrenic genius that “A Beautiful Mind” was about, I’d attach significance to this double occurrence.

But instead, I just enjoyed it.

    Yes, it was — until the last episode or two. There were a lot of plot twists that did NOT work, and they left it hanging there.

    I think that last episode killed the series, which is a shame, because I did enjoy most of it.
