This Mission Sucks.

Just felt like a Lost In Space quote.
Well, today was Friday the 13th, and albeit a busy day, it was an interesting one so far and I wouldn't call it unlucky. For one, I got to meet with Han Hoogerbrugge today to hand him his ClickBurg Webcomic Award (or "Clickie"). A friendly and intelligent man with very clear ideas about his art and his life. Interesting afternoon, to say the least. Although it cost me precious time, it was well worth it, and I feel priviliged that the whole ClickBurg ordeal came with this little bonus.
Other than that, I've been running around getting some stuff around the house done that I won't have time for this weekend, as well as made some important calls etcetera. It may not sound like a busy day when I put it like that, but sufficient to say that I'm only getting round to blogging today's Word of the Day now. And then I have to write, draw, edit and upload sunday's Grim DotCom episode because I'll be on the road and busy tomorrow. And if I get drawing time at all that day, first of all I won't have my useful Grim DotCom sourcefiles handy, and secondly, my 'secret' project, a ten page contribution to a new magazine called De Lijn, called "Reaper, Baby", still requires a lot of work that I didn't get to do lately. So my evening is pretty much booked as well, even after blogging this.

So let's dive in and get this over with, shall we ?
Today's candidates are:
- 'artsenconflict' (doctors' conflict). This is not about doctors fighting amongst each other, it's the doctors being disgruntled with government stuff. Media hype word, in other words - and I recall nominating at least one other word about this particular matter before. What, everytime there's a change in this situation, the media get to invent another word ? Is this a drinking game or something ?
- '25-jarigregeringsjubileumtour' (25 year governing anniversary tour). Our queen is queen for 25 years now and she's going on a national tour to celebrate. Oh-kayyyyy... we definately needed this word.
- 'hormonenzwendel' (hormones fraud). Just think about this word for a while. Nono, I'm not mentioning the context yet. Think. Ok, now I'm bringing up the context: it's about farmers who are suspected of dealing in forbidden hormones. Media hype word !

And the Word of the day is: '25-jarigregeringsjubileumtour' !

I'll try to get to an internet connection some time tomorrow and blog the last Word of the Day, as well as pick a Word of the Week. And as said: then all this madness is finally over. Honestly. Ok, if you'll excuse me, I have to write and draw now.
