But I thought you said 'quotidian' meant...

...daily? It does. It's French [that's the masculine-sounding language that they speak on the other side of the ocean]. It means 'daily' [not daly], as in something that occurs each day. You might have a quotidian cup of coffee, and then you might ask to be given your daily bread.

So the name 'quotidian' that appears in our blog's title, then, is a not-so-subtle attempt at irony.

See, we won't really ever post to this thing each day. I'd like to say that it's because we're too busy or that we can't spare the time, but honestly our lives just aren't that interesting enough to share each day. It may be the easy way out of writing a blog, but we're trying to go for quality, not quantity.

So, mes amis, that would explain the absence [the dearth, perhaps?] of posts on this 'daily' blog. Et voila.*

*yes, there should be an accent on the 'a' in there; I'm not savvy enough to know how to make zee wittle axe-ants on zee werds.
