Finding "Splendor"...
I haven’t written much this week — nothing on this Weblog and hardly anything on others’. It’s kind of been a weird week; tiring, sad, shocking. But, that’s beside the point. To tell you the truth, I just really didn’t have anything to say.
splendor (splen-dor)
Pronunciation: ‘splen-d&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English splendure, from Anglo-French splendur, from Latin splendor, from splendEre
Date: 15th century
1 a : great brightness or luster : BRILLIANCY b : MAGNIFICENCE, POMP
2 : something splendid
- splen-dor-ous also splen-drous / adjective
Everything this week was not.
Friday: Julianna and I went to see American Splendor (based on the comic book of the same name about Harvey Pekar‘s life) at Tivoli Cinemas. I could probably write a book on the way this movie made me feel. But I won’t…
What I do want to say is, simply, thank you, Harvey. That’s it.
If you’d like to know more about it and read some very insightful Blogs, by Harvey, Harvey’s wife, and their “adopted” daughter, check it all out for yourself.
