Great word. Use it, impress your friends with it, spread cheese on it, enjoy.
Consequently, Indolent also seems to be something that seems to like habitually to be assigned as a descriptive to my name. Those of you who read this blog (do I see two hands out there? Or maybe one...hmm...) will certainly know, it is also the attitude I seem to have adopted in view of this site. Not intentinally, I might add. The act was a complete anathema on my part (an unintenional one, but one, none the less).
