Stumped.
Well this kind of sucks.
I went to my random word generator, seeking blog ideas.
And it gives me a word that not only I don’t know, but the Dictionary application on OS X doesn’t know either.
The word is: eyne
Apparently, an archaic word meaning the plural of eye, oft used in poetry.
Or…a spot in France. But I think the word generator means the first definition.
The “complexity” chooser is set to “common”. I wouldn’t call eyne common.
Oh well.
Here we go:
But what do mine eyne see, but the fog of June gloom falling over me.
I can’t seem to buy a sunny day here in the Bay Area. And it’s depressing me. Today is windy and *cold* and, being of the desert, am not amused.
Then I keep reading NewMexiKen’s top lists of books, and find I’ve only read a few.
And then this whole eyne issue.
Not one of my better days….

Ken's lists are nothing but reminders of opportunities – when I stand at the bookstore and cannot find ANYTHING…there are the many classics I missed.
And I don't want to hear about weather – co-workers are starting the "It's not usually so wet" refrain.

Being from Texas originally, I recognize this word. It means keeping an eye on, as in "eyein'".
"I been eyein' that truck on the corner lot but someone awready got it."
