Is it hump day already? Why yes, it is. Thank goodness for urbandictionary.com. I am not a hip person, maybe hep, but not hip. So like other mere mortals, I resort to learning about life through urbandictionary.com. What is hump day for those less hep than even moi? Well, the traditional definition of "hump day" is as follows:
| 1. | hump day | |
The middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week. | ||
But I prefer the alternative definition.

Of course, I've been trying to spread the label "shag day" as in ... woohoo! Wednesday! Guess what day it is?!? Shag day!!! But I wasn't the originator of that idea, really. I got it from the 1998 movie Sliding Doors. When Helen (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) arrives home to find her boyfriend Gerry just getting out of bed, he calls out to find out who it is. She replies, "No, it's your bit of stuff. Wednesday, Shag Day, remember?" It's odd what random bits of dialog or thoughts stick with you. It's a lovely movie overall really. In one split second, the life of the main character takes two completely different directions. If she makes the train, a series of events unfold that leads to self-awareness, breaking up with Gerry, meeting a new man, and opening herself up to possibilities and change. If she doesn't make the train, a different series of events unfold which shows Helen stays in a relationship with a cheating Gerry, takes on menial jobs to support the two of them, while wanking Gerry knocks up another girl. Makes you wonder about the choices you make throughout the course of each day.
Well, anyhoo... It's Wednesday. Enjoy today!

I haven't seen such camaraderie since I was in the Foreign Legion. Unless of course you include...
...the other night with Georgie. (sigh)
