The day is gone

The day is coming to something of a close already. Well, at least for me since I have the mondays off from school/work. Though I would have enjoyed this little peace of mind, I can't do so right now due to some nasty company I have to keep in my house today. Oh well.

I've been using the LochJournal program to access my livejournal entry for two days now. Frankly, I don't see what the big advantage this program has over standard web browser interface. Of course, I am able to save my work offline using this, but then I can do so with a thousand other word processing applications. It's only a matter of copying and pasting the content. The lauded advantage of using a dedicated client for livejournal is dubious when I also consider that this particular program doesn't seem to support spell checking. Though I must stress that I am not at all familiar with how this kind of prgram is supposed to work, so I should give it more time and explore its functionalities.

Whenever I am writing the limited milieu of my vocaulary begins to annoy me. I feel as if I am only scratching the verdigris off the maginificent sculpture that is my thought (in my head) and present those metallic scrumbs as the entirety of my thought. Whenever I try to lead people into the labyrinth that is my mind (in which even I get frequently lost) toward some grand ordinance at the center (or a giant minotaur), I only feel as if I'm walking around the appurtenances surrounding the grand design of my mind. It's like a newly wed couple giving a grand tour of a new home to their friends, only to end up giving them a tour of closets and shoe boxes and hush everyone home. Many people recommend learning more words, but the fact is whenever I try to memorize or otherwise learn more words it happens that I know most or all of them already! The problem is really a problem of being able to conjure up the words at appropriate moment, rather than physical learning of it, I think. How would I be able to learn to think of appropriate words rich in substance when called for? Maybe this is a clue to the fundamental nature of learning, that knowledge and ability to link those knowledge might be separated on a very basic level.
